SERVANTS OF THE BLACK HARVEST: heed the word of your First, Kanrethad Ebonlocke!

No longer shall other warlocks devour your kind for absolutely no mana cost with Sacrificial Pact. Rejoice! And with this obstacle out of the way, WE shall reign supreme, not that overgrown, plague-infused dragon skeleton!

Let us begin!

Overall Strategy

The Black Harvest is a deck in three pieces.

The Core Combo

Excepting games against aggro decks, where everything will be decided before the combo can come online, The Black Harvest seeks to kill off Kanrethad Ebonlocke, then duplicate Kanrethad Prime with Expired Merchant to make two, three, or even four enormous boards of BIG DEMONS.

Abyssal Summoner and Enhanced Dreadlord are our demons. Huge stats, taunt, and a deathrattle to make Lifesteal minions. It's a treat!

The Dragon Package

If we want to get those boards of big demons, we are not allowed to play any small demons. Luckily, the dragons descended recently! Use Frizz Kindleroost to cheat out your dragons for swing turns lategame, or play them on curve for bodies that are more than a little intimidating at that point in the game.

Removal

Woven in with your dragon plays are hefty piles of removal. Clear enemy boards, remove your opponent's face at the end with Nether Breath, and otherwise go 2:1 or 3:1 to make aggro decks fall apart long before it gets time to bring out the Black Harvest!

Mulligan

Against Aggro, Spell Druid, and Pure Paladin

Forget the Ebonlocke combo. You don't need it. Instead, look for taunts, healing, and early removal.
