Hi, everyone! My name is Cheelmind and I am a casual HS player from Russia who hit legend couple of times in past few months.
As the new expansion Kobolds and Catacombs has arrived I am trying out a lot of new decks and post the ones I like and that are really competitive on ladder (with gameplay videos) so other people can achieve the legend rank too. After hitting legend this season with a Big Priest http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1001762-legend-insane-big-priest-71-win-rate-rank-5-legend on my second account I decided to go for warlock and I struggled quite a bit against Agro Mages, Paladins, Hunters and Tempo rogues (that is like 70% of the ladder) so I made a very heavy anti-agro build and it worked out quite well.
Updated the deck the way I play in on Legend rank.
If you like this deck please up vote, your support is really appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.
Here are other deck I play : http://www.hearthpwn.com/members/Cheelmind/decks
TThe worst luck in history :) (Highlights 1:45, 2:15, 10:35, 13:00)
Legend proof:
Stats:
Feel free to change Mortal Coil for Bloodmage Thalnos if you do not meet many agro mages. Barnes is also a great card for this deck instead of one Plated Beetle.
On legend I have added 5 tech cards in this deck that are very useful in my opinion and I feel the is a need for explanation (uploading videos to show how is help greatly help to win difficult match ups.
Dirty Rat without two copies of this card it is almost impossible to win Razakus OTK Velen priest, The only way is to get early Rin, the First Disciple and Dark Pact. With Dirty Rat when used wisely you have 2 good chances to get Prophet Velen and Siphon Soul it (Priests are 34% out of 112 matches in the stats and majority of them are Prophet Velen OTK . Dirty Rat also help win quest mage which is a 100% lose without this card.
Spellbreaker is just a great card in the meta right now with numerous ways to use. It has a use in almost every game.
Acidic Swamp Ooze is great to deal with Skull of the Man'ari and Aluneth, Atiesh (not very common ))as well as any other weapon in other matchups.
Skulking Geist with out this card Jade druid is almost certain loss and with it it is almost certain win )). It is also good in dealing with Inner Fire (Dragons with Inner Fire are very popular lately)
The Reason for tech cards:
Here are game play videos with tech cards of the updated version of the deck I play on legend now:
Vs Miracle Rogue (Feat. Jaraxxus ))
Vs Quest mage
Vs Cube warlock ( Spellbreaker in the middle and Skulking Geist in the end.
Vs Razakus priest (Rats and Geist do it again )
Vs Agro Mage (Acidic Swamp Ooze Aluneth)
Vs Razakus Priest ( Dirty Rat gets Prophet Velen 12:00 approx.)
Vs Jade druid (Skulking Geist wins the game)
Vs Mill rogue (Acidic Swamp Ooze Kingsbane and Skulking Geist some in the end )
Vs Hunt alone hunter
Vs Agro Paladin
Vs Inner fire dragon priest (geist concede)
Vs Tempo rogue (Dirty brings the Prince )
Here are some game play videos:
Vs Razakus priest (game for Legend)
Vs Agro Paladin
Vs Agro paladin (there are a lot of the on ladder so I decided to show 2 games)
vs Razakus priest
Vs Tempo rogue
Vs Hunt alone hunter
Vs Inner Dragon Priest
Feel free to ask any questions about the deck
Will be more then happy to get any feedback on how this deck is doing in your hands.
Best regards.
tar creepers back in? ha ha. i love my tar creepers as well, especially if you also run oakheart. I was using stoneshell instead without oakheart, but tbh i only run stoneshell as well as tar creeper now when i want to go extra heavy on early game stalls. i actually prefer tar creeper as it forces them to trade into 3 damage as oppose to 1. if you didn't have voidlords or rin though, stoneshells shine for this purpose. you can't really rely on them to always get those cards though.
Hi man ) ye they are back in! We had no 3 drop and a bit hard time in early game so I replaced 2 Siphon Soul for it) Btw if you do not like Dirty Rat then Plated Beetle is a good replacement for two mana.
Could you replace Skulking Geist with Medivh, the Guardian? I honestly have seen maybe 2 jade druids in the last 2 weeks, and most priests are either spiteful dragons or OTKs. Atiesh has insane value, especially if paired with the seals.
Sure, you can go for it, if you do not meet any jades )
Summarized it nicely!
where's the version with stonehill defenders?
Hi that is the first version ( can change spell breaker for tar creeper)
Currently at rank 3 with this deck. I took out one coil for the Skull. Thanks for uploading!
Hi and thanks for the comment! Glad you like the deck!
The change you have made is tricky. Just keep in mind that with Skull of the Man'ari equipped you can't play Azari, the Devourer, because the battle cry will not work! Once you get Azari, the Devourer from the seal it will get played next turn without battle cry. You have only two demons in this deck Voidlord so in my opinion you do not need a Skull of the Man'ari in this deck.
Skull of the Man'ari is really good in cube warlock because you have 4 demons and two are Doomguard with very painful battle cry especially for combo control deck. The main point of Skull of the Man'ari is to bring Doomguard without battle cry. (you can play combo same turn with cubes and stuff)
Hope it helps.
Good luck!
I have been playing a very similar deck since the beginning and looks we made the same tweaks, i found 2 dark pacts and 2 dirty rats almost a must, lackey into pact its just almost auto win against aggrro, and dirty rat is so good in control matchups and even mirror for sniping that n'zoth or cubes in cubelock,
my main problem with this deck is against legendary weapon rogue i have 0% winrate against that deck, tell me if you found a way to beat it lmao,
Hi and Thanks for the comment! Cool that we play similar deck, will upload a video against Mill rogue soon.
Skulking Geist and Acidic Swamp Ooze work well in this match up for me.
Hope it helps :)
Good luck!
yeah thanks, i usually dont even tap in tihs matchup
HI there. Well the name of the deck just reflects the reason i made it. I was just facing way too many Agro paladins and agro mages at rank 2-1 and i made this deck to counter them. It worked fine for me : ).
How does this deck perform against Big Spell Priest as well as Big Priest?
Hi and thanks for the comment! In these match ups your win condition is Rin, the First Disciple , so get her asap. pick you out of Stonehill Defender. against Big spell you are not afraid of Silence, vs Big priest you need to Dark Pact her straight away.
I will try to make some gameplay video. Hope it helps
Good luck!
Hi and thanks for the question!
1 and 3 point: Plated Beetle is always preferable because Possessed Lackey is good only with two demons- Voidlord and Doomguard. So if you run Possessed Lackey you definitely need only Voidlord and if playing Carnivorous Cube and Spiritsinger Umbra you add Doomguard. Just these two demons.
2. Lesser Amethyst Spellstone is working very well for me and it gets upgraded almost all the time at least once with Kobold Librarian or Hellfire.
Hope it helps, if you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask!
Good luck!
Drawing both Voidlords early is killer. Have you considered putting in the Doomguard and Skull of the Man'ari package in?
Hi and thanks for comment!
This deck is really anti-agro oriented and drawing 2 Voidlord before turn 5 Possessed Lackey or turn 6 Dark Pact occures not very often. The good thing about having only Voidlord as a demon is that you guaranteed to get him out of Possessed Lackey if it is still in the deck, and it is crucial against agro Paladins and mages. In case you are under pressure and you get Doomguard it can lose you the game.
If you want to do some testing i guess you swap Mortal Coil, one Plated Beetle and one Stonehill Defender. It will weaken your early game but you get your package.
The other way is to go even further and add 2 Carnivorous Cube and Spiritsinger Umbra to the package and you get an OTK Cube Warlock that proves to work out very well!
Just test and find what works best for you in the meta you encounter.
Hope it helps.
Good luck!!
