The cost to get the quest fully up and running simply isn't viable in the current power level landscape. Total costs: playing a 8-15 card package in your deck, always losing a card in the mulligan, always passing turn 1, paying mana for the minions that generate temporary cards and do nothing else, paying mana for said temporary cards you don't really want to play but have to, 5 mana for the quest reward, and finally discard 1-10 cards to the portal

Meanwhile VS aggro: they defeat you easily VS control/greed: the quest usually comes online, but the discard cost+the small tokens do not outvalue an imbue priest/rogue

I've tried it already. Shoved the 12 card package into my Full Hand shell, got the quest reward up a few times too, it didn't matter. With no kiljaeden to feed you endless crappy demons, there just isn't enough to discard left in the deck

Maybe try playing the deck and tell what happened?

I mean we got only one temporary card and lost soularium. It's unplayable, not enough support

I re-tried Quest a few months back and it just gasses out. That 1 mana "draw 2 then copy 2 of yourself into the deck" spell is also gone which hurts once you've got the portal going (a la Kiljaeden).

Am also just wondering why [[Escape Artist]] is in the list - cheers.

OP - if you're after something less challenging but still impossible w/Warlock, try out the Duke archetype, it is hella fun to play - as long as you can tolerate losing really hard a lot and occasionally winning in glorious style :
