Strategy

Demonwrath is clearly designed as a strong early-game AoE removal option for Demon-oriented warlock decks, such as Demonlock. For 3 mana, it provides an extremely useful addition to the warlock's usual arsenal of AoE effects, but requires a friendly board of mostly or entirely Demons in order for its benefits to outweigh its drawbacks. With a minion roster composed primarily or exclusively of Demons, Demonwrath is a cheap and versatile removal tool, especially against aggro decks relying on swarms of smaller minions.

Using Demonwrath doesn't necessarily require a demon-heavy deck. With an empty board, it functions as a cheaper LegacyConsecration, and it doesn't damage yourself like LegacyHellfire, making it an effective board clear for decks that use few minions. Demonwrath's damage can be easily augmented using Spell Damage minions such as LegacyBloodmage Thalnos or LegacyAzure Drake. Even if the minion is destroyed by Demonwrath, their Spell Damage will still add to the spell's output. In addition to its use as AoE board clear, Demonwrath can be useful for triggering "egg" cards like NaxxramasNerubian Egg. However, its Demon-synergy prevents it from being used to trigger Blackrock MountainImp Gang Boss' effect.

Demonwrath can also fall flat if you find yourself in a mirror match against another Demon-based warlock or demon hunter deck, especially if it's an aggressive early-game deck.
