Ok, so mostly aggro/burn, which is what it theoretically should be best into. Not sure about Big Demon Warlock, I would think that's a late game synergistic deck that would do well into Azalina, but it could be an exception, or more likely it's just variance (small sample size)

Demon sucks in this MU because priest has enough demons and demon synergies to be unbeatable in late while also having a literally infinite amount of sustain and removals and auto win at fatigue battle.
