OP, I know that the tavern brawl already ended, but I want to join this little conversation regarding the control warlock MUs. And I have a question - what can an odd warrior do against a control warlock, who already found their best cards (Rin and the DK)? It's no surprise that every deck has its own natural counters, but I don't see how this list had a decent win-rate against that arch-type as you state.

And I don't mean to brag, but I myself played this deck and I never had any problems against warriors in this brawl. Warriors barely pressured me and I had a lot of time to tap and to play the seals. The only thing, which I had to remember, was to kill my own Rin with a pact. 

And you can't deny, that you had to mulligan for the zoo MU first when you faced a warlock, because this was the more common case. This gave us even more advantages, because you probably kept cheap removals or taunts in the mulligan stage and threw the big boys away (Dr. Boom, Mad Genius).

I most definitely agree with you, that this deck requires some thinking and it's not easy to pilot like zoolock, but I don't see how this had a decent win-rate against control warlocks, if you didn't have a real win-condition against them. (Odd) Taunt Warrior has it.

[edit] The user Bodycount was very rude. The deck is fine. It all depends on the matchmaking and if people have the luck to encounter less unfavourable MUs.

True.

But regarding the tavern brawl - I faced a lot of warriors running the (almost) exact same list and I really never had any problems against them. I only lost once, because I underestimated my opponent's tech options and lost my Rin-condition because of it. But if I had played correctly, I would have won that game as well.

Pressure - like I said in the previous post, I didn't feel being pressured at all. At least this was the feeling in the TB. My opponents always took it slowly and I could tap in peace. If you claim, that the experiece is different on the ladder, then I can't continue the discussion any further, since I only played there in the first few days of the expansion and stopped after I reached r5.

Azalina is an interesting tech option, but she won't work the same way as versus shudder shaman. There isn't a grumble to reduce the cost of the cards and if the warrior hasn't pressured the warlock enough, the warlock will play their Azari first. This doesn't always mean a win, but if the warlock found their powerful cards, if they have the removal for the opponent's Azari and aren't dangerously low on health, the warlock player will most likely succeed.

but it still requires skill.

Again, I didn't say anything against it. I certainly don't disagree, that control warrior decks take more skill than others (even more than my beloved warlock control variants). But in the previous post I expressed my scepticism towards OP's list because it featured a single Owl and claimed it had a decent win-rate against that deck. If the warlock player is smart, even if they don't run a Dark Pact, they will upgrade their spellstone and kill rin with it.

Warlocks nowadays don't run Dark Pact, waste of deck slot just for the sake of Rin trigger. Sac Pact is much better in meta because Zoo. Owl usually is enough.

Tbh I'm not like the other control warlock players. I don't feel like adding a Sac Pac just for zoo (or for the demons coming from the demonic projects) is worth it. For me this tech is too situational and a waste of a deck slot, since I'm already pleased with the early game. I mean, we already have librarians, doomsayers, defiles, hellfires, spellstones, gigglings, stonehills, applebaums and if some don't think this is enough, then this is their problem. I'm one of those ppl, who also runs lackeys. Most of the time I can survive until turn 7 and if I have those cards in hand, I can summon a beefy taunt, which slows them even more.
