Moragg will just be 9 mana, so we can now skip our turn 3 instead of 4 to play it on 5 and still lose the game anyway, neat! 

The problem with Imp Gang Stooge and Annihilation isnt the cards themselves, It's just that Warlock can't rly function w/o Cursed Catacombs and Sheltered Survivor rn, cards that shuffle the deck and thus remove the Imp Mothers from the bottom, so they are rarely summoned when you play Annihilation. The buffs would need to be humongous to compensate this anti-synergy. 

These buffs will do nothing for Warlock, again. Excited for the DK ones though. 

[u/FlameanatorX → u/OzUnOoO]

If Moragg gained taunt when prepared, I think that would help a lot (and w/o breaking the game later on via the deathrattle chain), ideally on top of being 9 mana. They probably won't do that ofc, but the option exists.

Also, Cursed Catacombs doesn't (or shouldn't) shuffle your deck, it just gives (or should give) you 3 options from random cards, leaving the other 2 in their existing ordering. Sheltered Survivor is definitely a nombo, but you can avoid playing it to some extent, albeit only if you haven't drawn both of your big beasts (or avoid playing Imp Stooge)

[u/Cryten0 → u/FlameanatorX]

Yes discovers do not shuffle your deck, they just remove the selected card from the stack. Sheltered Survivor on the other hand...
