Guest RE Handlock Report post Posted May 13, 2017 I'm currently trying to play a burst Variation of Handlock. It started as a fun Deck But it Gas in my opinion some potential. Basically, it Uses alexstasza followed by two evolved Kobolds and 2 soulfire as a win condition. Could you please take a look Stadt the decklist and Tell ne your thoughts on it? Maybe suggestions to make it better? Thanks in advance. Link below http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/832923-combolock Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Link below http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/832923-combolock Have you considered Malygos-based combo? In this case it would mean you would only have to add Malygos, as you already have the rest.

Guest Malygos Report post Posted May 13, 2017 Yeah i tried malygos, but it is impossibe to one shot your Opponent because of the Rotation of thairissan. The kobolds Save one mana for anothwr soulfire and it is possible to Play one Kobold 2 soulfire followed by hellfire for 17 dmg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caldyrvan 377 Report post Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) Hey, maybe I'm missing something but why use Doomsayer? Warlock got this nice Corrupting Mist. Same mana cost as Doomsayer but less vulnerable (maybe Counterspell) and you can cast it and even play a minion afterwards who will not be affected by the Corrupting Mist, well, minions played by your opponent afterwards will not be affected either. that's a downside but if your Doomsayer gets killed you do nothing and wasted a card.

A big downside of Corrupting Mist is that the opponent can play minions on the following turn, which means you will not gain any tempo. Doomsayer prevents the opponent from playing minions on their turn, which means you will be the one with board after Doomsayer triggers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caldyrvan 377 Report post Posted June 11, 2017 Yes, I mentioned that myself :D but the vulnerability of the doomsayer to be killed compared to a spell is worth a thought. Or am I totally wrong? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or am I totally wrong? At the very least Doomsayer represents 7 health but at the best it clears the board and helps you gain/regain momentum. Corrupting Mist on the other hand doesn't guarantee anything because the card is limited to only the minions in play at the time of it's casting which means if they play a minion on their next turn then you aren't gaining much ground.

Or am I totally wrong? It is worth a thought, but the strength of Corrupting Mist only shows in control matchups, and, as you know, neither Doomsayer nor Corrupting Mist should be run against control because those cards are anti-aggro techs. Against control, you might want to consider Abyssal Enforcers instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest nfeel Report post Posted June 13, 2017 So i got a bit stubborn making a viable warlock deck.I've made quite a few tweaks,crafted and dusted cards for the sole purpose of climbing the ladder with warlock. Here is my input and at the end i'll paste you my whole deck. First of ,rush decks pose the biggest threat for handlock. I found that neither doomsayer or coils,shadow bolts can help you in those situations. For that you need early game board presence. I tried dirty rat but got fairly disappointed with it.Turn 2 hyena is no fun against hunters and to be honest i dont see how summoning an extra creature is going to help you in those early games.You need the exact opposite. Tar creeper has been marvelous so far.It can definitely slow down those rush 1/2 -2/2 - 3/2 etc health mobs. Opponents often use their abilities that are supposed to land to your face to destroy those taunts.That gives you more room to breath until you can summon your big threats. Another awesome card is friendly bartender. Atm im running with 1x but might consider using 2x as it has been really great in early game board control plus the healing is always appreciated. Another thing i noticed was that quite often against rush decks i'd win with really low HP. This is very common against aggro. So why not take advantage of it and bring back some ideas from the past handlock. So i also included Molten Giant x1. Alexstraza is on the deck as well. So here is my deck. If you guys try it out let me know how it goes. I've played from 15 to 5 with it. Best of luck AAECAf0GDpMBkwTFBN0E8gWJBrYHzAjcCqmtAuivAsW8AtK/At7EAgj7BfsG4QeNCPMM3bwCysMCxccCAA== Edit: Spoiler 1x Mistress of Mixtures 1x Ancient Watcher 1x Friendly Bartender 2x Sunfury Protector 2x Earthen Ring Farseer 2x Humongous Razorleaf 2x Tar Creeper 2x Defender of Argus 1x Faceless Shambler 1x Hellfire 1x Shadowflame 1x Spellbreaker 2x Twilight Drake 1x Cult Apothecary 1x Faceless Manipulator 1x Felfire Potion 1x Siphon Soul 2x Abyssal Enforcer 1x Alexstrasza 1x Lord Jaraxxus 2x Mountain Giant 1x Molten Giant Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depends on what you are facing. A different tech card is what you want to go for in general. Against pirate or other weapon-based decks, second copy of Acidic Swamp Ooze (alternatively Gluttonous Ooze based on personal preference). Against aggressive decks, healing, such as Mistress of Mixtures, is something you should go for. Faceless Shambler or in some cases Lord Jaraxxus can be included against control decks, but The Black Knight is preferred. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jirwin 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, while Happy Ghoull is a good tool against aggro and midrange I think that Bonemare could help block out greedier control decks with a big burst of damage. Does anyone think thats a viable change? Edited August 17, 2017 by Jirwin adding card links Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arkpit 101 Report post Posted August 22, 2017 I find myself being utterly destroyed playing this deck vs. any other control deck and have a 50/50 vs. aggro decks. I have not won a single game vs. control priest, seem to straight up counter this and most mage decks seem to laugh at me all the way. Like most other decks Druids is an issue as soon as that pesky Ultimate Infestation is played, kinda feels gg there most of the time. New hunters with constant flow of big taunts using Houndmaster, Nesting Roc and Bonemare seem to outlast you in the long run. Paladins and their Spikeridged Steed, Tirion Fordring discovers and removal seems equally impossible to beat. I know Warlock struggled a lot in Un'Goro but honestly feels like it's not much better in this expansion :( They got great buffs, very much so but so did everyone else so feels like we just all went up 1 notch meaning Warlocks are still behind everyone else.

Guest Anarchy Report post Posted September 12, 2017 I know this is off topic and i apologize in advance, but since no one seems to care about the wild warlock decks, i chose to ask my question here. I`m playing warlock exclusively since two years, that´s why i moved to wild with the rotation of Reno Jackson. Could you add a guide for something like Midrange Demonlock or Krul Reno Demonlock? Seems like Wild is underrepresented on this page and on streams, even tough the meta changed a lot. Second question: Could you have a look at the following and tell me your thoughts about it? Thanks in advance http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/midrange-demonlock-2/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/midrange-demonlock-2/ Wild decks aren't covered as much as the standard ones because they are simply not as popular. As for the latter question, the deck seems fine for a midrange demonlock (renolock is still superior). I would swap Bloodfury Potion out for a second Imp Gang Boss, and maybe Sylvanas Windrunner for a second Abyssal Enforcer, based on the meta you are facing.

Guest Anarchy Report post Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks for the fast reply, i tried the deck with a second Imp Gang Boss, but it is somehow counteractive to Bloodreaver Gul´dan, filling your graveyard with 1/1 imps. I agree that Bloodfury Potion is not that great, but esspecially against, priest it is great to have an early 4/6 Voidwalker or a 4/7 Mistress. As for the Sylvanas Swap, what do you think about Felfire Potion for some extrs burst / board clear against taunt druid? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the Sylvanas Swap, what do you think about Felfire Potion for some extrs burst / board clear against taunt druid? My recommended swaps are pretty much aimed at a faster meta, which is what I have been experiencing lately. If you face slower meta, do not add the second Imp Gang Boss, but something bigger, such as a second Despicable Dreadlord or Lord Jaraxxus. Yeah, Felfire Potion sounds good. Sylvanas Windrunner is included most likely for the 1-off value and pseudoclear against decks with big minions, such as jade druid or big priest, so if you believe that a different card will bring you higher value, feel free to include it.
