Strategy
The Hourglass Coven is your Warlock lord and card advantage engine rolled into one. When she enters, you draft two cards from a custom spellbook (which includes powerful tokens and effects), immediately putting them into play. This gives you a free boost of resources and bodies on turn four or five. Your deck focuses on playing other Warlocks to pump them up with the +1/+1 lord effect while building around the repeated value of cheap Warlock creatures.
Your gameplan is straightforward: ramp into The Hourglass Coven, grab some free value, then turn your growing Warlock squad sideways for damage. Black Warlocks are underrepresented, so you'll lean on creatures like Torment Warden and Nighthawk Scavenger alongside reanimation to keep generating threats. The deck naturally slots into a midrange shell where you control the board through creature pressure and removal while Your lord grows your team.
