Template:Dark Pact strategy
This card offers a substantial amount of healing for Warlocks, at the cost of a friendly minion. While a weak 1/1 can be sacrificed for healing, it's better to use this card as a Deathrattle activator, namely ones that can bring out a big minion like Devilsaur Egg,
Possessed Lackey, and
Carnivorous Cube.
A more advanced usage for Dark Pact is to guarantee your minion dies. This is not only important for activating Deathrattles without risking being silenced, but also for resurrection effects like N'Zoth and Bloodreaver Gul'dan; if the minion is transformed or stolen with cards like
Polymorph and
Mind Control, you will not be able to take advantage of those effects because they will not be added to your pool of destroyed minions.
