Check the sideboard to make changes according to which matchups you are playing against. 

Since the meta is FULL of token druids and tempo rogues. Removing the late game package (Oondasta, Amani War Bear, Betrug, Plot Twist) and adding defensive tools (CHECK SIDEBOARD) and a Rafaam to fill the late game package is very recommended. 

I will change the list SOON (according to our meta, but I will write in sideboard options for other metas). 

Combos:

  1. Ancient Watcher + Ratcatcher, Sunfury Protector, Shadowflame.
  2. Oondasta summoning Amani War Bear from your hand.
  3. Fel Lord Betrug + Plot Twist
  4. Sense Demons: filtering and healing for free (Aranasi Broodmother) and buying Lord Jaraxxus and Fel Lord Betrug
  5. Fel Lord Betrug + Plot Twist: putting a Oondasta in field that kills an enemy and summons a Oondasta from hand that kills another enemy and summons a Amani War Bear from hand (this is just a possible combo, the deck doesnt really need it to work)
  6. Faceless Rager + Big Health Minion, Shadowflame

Winconditions:

  1. In general: Mountain Giant and Twilight Drake .
  2. Against aggro: AOE, low cost minions and taunts.
  3. Against control: Lord Jaraxxus (infinite value).
  4. Against combo: Be agressive. but if you encounter a lot of combo decks you need to check the sideboard.

Sideboard:

  1. Mortal Coil,Doomsayer Belligerent Gnome, Swamp Ooze, Demonic Project, Spirit Bomb, Ironbreak Owl, Shadow Bolt, Earthen Ring Farseer, Defenser of Argus  , Proud Defender, Omega Agent, Zilliax, Rotten Applebaum,Unseen Saboteur, Siphon Soul, Arcane Watcher( I dont recommend using arcane watcher over the ancient watcher, If you want to use both you should also use argus), Arch-Villain Rafaam (rafaam is amazing).
  2. PAY ATTENTION: If you are playing against lots of aggressive decks, you should add defensive cards from the sideboard (zilliax, earthen ring, mortal coil, doomsayer,  +1 belligerent gnome etc...)

Notes about some cards:

  1. Sense Demons: This cards sinergizes pretty well with the deck, you call the Aranasi Broodmother for free heal or you buy two super important cards ( Lord Jaraxxus and Fel Lord Betrug.
  2. Belligerent Gnome: This card is an amazing option for the early game survival. Against aggro, this card is even better than Vulgar Homunculus, since we cant use the spellstone or the dk in the year of dragon.
  3. Ratcatcher: A great tempo card and increases your options with Ancient Watcher, killing enemy key minions and controlling the board.
  4. Oondasta + Amani War Bear: good neutral tempo play 
  5. Plot Twist: good warlock card to get the cards that you want when u dont have them in hand and we are using a good deck that plot twist fits. An additional combo with It is reshuffling an Aranasi Broodmother to get extra heal in future, Its not amazing but also possible.
  6. Lord Jaraxxus: a key if you want to beat control matchups, this card has infinite value.
  7. Arch-Villain Rafaam: Extra value in late game and can be sometimes a good taunt against aggros. If you are playing against many aggros, you should replace the betrug, oondasta pack and plot twist by this card plus defensive tools.
