### Win Condition

This deck plays very similar to Spell Veragonda, but instead uses both spells and demon synergy to control the battlefield and win in the later stages of the game. Play spells throughout the game to constantly answer your opponent's board and protect yourself from sacrificing too much life. This deck has two main win conditions: **Jalinne, Malicespewer**, and **Master Vizicsa**. **Jalinne, Malicespewer** is your go-to win condition. After casting a bunch of spells, use this minion to swiftly turn the tides of battle in your favor, so much so that your opponent most likely won't have a way to deal with it. **Master Vizicsa** is your alternate win condition. Because you are able to constantly resurrect your demons with spells, use this minion after you've built a board to clear all defenders and finish off your opponent.

### Mulligan

The following cards you should look to keep in your starting hand:

* **Ransom Keeper**
	+ Can snowball very easily in the early game with secrets!
* **Dark Mage Ascendent**
	+ While not a low-costed card, this does a great job of cycling through your deck and allows you to draw an impactful demon that may be on the bottom of your deck. Specifically, we don't want **Alespark Leviathan**all the way near the bottom, so this card will do a great job of fetching it!
* **Arravatis Monk**
	+ Similar to **Ransom Keeper**, this card can snowball very easily in the early game with spells of any kind!
* **Dark Oakling**
	+ A great early game minion to set up a board presence for defending!
* **Cambered Lightning**
	+ A cheap spell that counters aggressive decks. Even better if you don't have any minions on the board!
* **Hell Fire**
	+ An impactful secret in the early game.

Try to **avoid** having the following cards in your starting hand:

* **Infuse**
* **Master Vizicsa**
* **Jalinne, Malicespewer**
	+ All of these cards are your win conditions, but they require a ton of prior set up that won't occur until much later into the game. These will just be a dead card in hand for 10+ turns!
* **Alespark Guardian**
	+ This card is a great answer to powerful late game minions. It won't be very useful in the early game.

### Notable Matchups

This deck performs very well against **Skeleton Tempo Iglaard**, as you will have many answers to your opponent's board presence and can easily outlast them in the late game.

#### Aggro Iglaard

This deck typically performs poorly against **Aggro Iglaard**, as the early game power of your opponent's deck will be difficult to remove without perfect answers.
