I’m in the process of refining a Big Demon Warlock deck. I’m trying to emulate much of the strategy utilized by the current Big Warrior. I’m not having much success, however. If anyone reading this would not mind helping me by looking at the list below and letting me know what you would replace;

The strategy is to consistently remove threats to delay to about turn 8, wherein I can play Archwitch Willow and ultimately Jaraxxus. Kanrethad Ebonlocke is the other non-demon and is in this deck for very clear reasons: another win condition via immediate and powerful board presence. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: @LadyDreadpool, if you have the most expeirnce with Warlock, I’d trully appreciate your feedback. Please, dear?
You really need Skull of Gul’dan and if you do add it, make sure it doesn’t auto play your kanrethad prime.
Also maybe remove a free admission and put a dark portal in your hand. Just my opinion though.

With Skull of Gul’dan, must I also throw in Nightshade Matrons?
Edit: @Dro, thank you, sincerely, for taking the time to gimme some insight. Apprecaite it, buddy!
I wanted to ask, what do you think about adding Runed Mithril Rods?
(I will be adding a more refined version and edit my OP to show that.)

Looking around, Skulll of Mari seems to be wild.
Question: Should I add my Questline? If only for its damage and health restoration.

and doesnt play a demon from your hand

Thank you kindly for clarifying. I was thinking that my knowledge must be wrong because I suspected I simpyl would be unale to utilize those cards. I thought I was missing something. 
Ediit: I am considering trying to create an aggro-Mage deck. Does anyone think that’s remotely possible? I am thinking all minions, a few with Discover,
Aggro mage wouldn’t really make sense. Burn tempo mage would be a better list probably.

Agreed. Just throw that non-well-thought-out idea into the trash. 
Back to the Big Demon Warlock deck, please? Any ideas?
@Shyla, any input? I know you know how to make excellent decks.
Try taking Demonic Assault out for stronger taunts like Enslaved Fel Lord and use Dark Portal to get on the board faster.

My take on Big Demon Warlock. Tons of removal and healing enhanced by Tamsin Roame and from turn 5 you drop fatties every turn. If things go bad late game Twisting Nether + Jaraxxus to end the game.

I said Skull of Gul’dan i completely meant Skull of Man’ari. Runed Mithril Rod would be good if you didn’t need that weapon so id leave it out.
I seem to always confuse Skull of Gul’dan and Hand of Gul’dan. I wasn’t aware Skull of Man’ari existed. Thanks for adding another card to my vocabulary.
It’s a 5 cost 0/3 warlock weapon that summons a demon from your hand. Only playable in Wild ofc
Seems like you’ll be too vulnerable to spell based damage decks for this meta.
I’d run the plus 3 attack lifesteal guys, along with the 6/4 deathrattle or the 4/9 taunt/swipe guy. Both of those will give more pressure and healing and deplete their shall while being useful removal against taunt druid and shaman.
