Demon

Demons are a type of minion. Almost all demons are specific to the warlock class, and are often unusually powerful for their mana-cost, but come with a negative effect for playing them.

Strategy

Playing a demon often involves a detrimental Battlecry effect. For this reason demons are risky to play and some demons should only be played in very specific circumstances. It is recommended to avoid the Battlecry effects of certain demons by playing them when the Battlecry will have no effect. For example, playing a Succubus while having no other cards in hand will not make you discard a card as you have none to do so. Void Terrors cause you to sacrifice two other minions, however if you have no minions in play when Void Terror enters the battlefield, nothing will be destroyed. Similarly, Alarm-o-Bot will bypass all Battlecry effects.
