Verdict

Warlock currently profiles as a low-sample / monitor and is best treated as a support or flex card.

Best fit

Activate

How to use it

Use Warlock in Activate shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include.

Common mistake

The common mistake is jamming Warlock into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect.

Token advice

Hold tokens until the sample size and meta role are clearer.
