This is a deck I helped someone build who hasn't played much the past few years so he doesn't have a lot of the newer cards except for what I gave him (hence no Mayhem, Grapes or Vain Philosophy), but I honestly think using some of the "forgotten dominants" like Burial (with 2 Liner) and Destruction could catch some people off guard. It was his idea to use Tartaros, which is a great card for when he needs to sacrifice a demon to use Seraph w/ Live Coal.
I've made a few notes about some cards he plans to attain at some point, but also wondered if anyone had any other suggestions.

You're not using Razor OR Siegeworks in an Isaiah deck? :o
I would put in Deafening Spirit on the defense.

Wandering Spirit to SoT is not an upgrade in an all-demon defense. Unclean Spirit to Spirit of Temptation would be an upgrade. I like the idea of Tartaros, though adding in Worse than the First (if he has/can get it) to get the discarded demons back would make it even better. I would use that instead of Ashtaroth Worship, which I haven't seen used too much at this point, especially in T1. Evil Spawn should definitely be used in favor of Controlling Demon. The offense looks about right.

Razor and Siegeworks are great, but they can only be played on 2 of my Heroes (Isaiah and FSP) and both need Isaiah in play. Deafening Spirit might be a good add instead of Evil Strength.

That was a typo--meant to have the "upgrade option" after Unclean Spirit.
Worse than the First would be good--when he tested this deck against my Isaiah deck he saw how ridiculous I am Holy was with Isaiah which prompted the addition of Ashtaroth Worship.
I thought Controlling Demon would be good against splash Captains and TSAs...maybe Foul Spirit can come out for Evil Spawn.
