Hello. I just wanted to play a funny deck and i made this deck. Is really funny to combo down your opponent.
First of all:
Combo Warlock is a deck that plays out similarly to classic Handlock decks. However, instead of the Giants that are usually found in the deck, this build instead plays a 28 damage burst combo in the form of Leeroy Jenkins + 2 x Power Overwhelming + Faceless Manipulator. The gameplan of the deck is to use Warlock's efficient removal spells and valuable Neutral minions such as Zombie Chow, Ancient Watcher... and Twilight Drake to control the board and stall out the game until you are able to draw into all the necessary pieces of the combo to finish your opponent.
In the early-game vs. aggro you have alot of minions and spells to deal with the opponent's minions. But vs. control you really want to set-up big Twilight Drakes.
In the mid-game, you will start to be more pro-active, using cards like Twilight Drake and Sludge Belcher to develop a board state. Although the eventual plan is to burst your opponent down with the Leeroy Jenkins combo, it is important to at least deal a few points of damage to the opponent through minion combat in order to get them below the 28 health necessary to seal the game.
Because this deck does not play Molten Giants, feel free to use your healing.
Do not play Emperor vs. control decks if you do not have 2 pieces of combo in your hand. Vs. aggro you can play Emperor with 1 piece of combo only, because you do not need full combo if you already have board control.
Mulligans:
Vs. aggro decks you want in your starting hand removals, silence and low cost minions: Chow, Owl, Ancient Watcher, Sunfury, Darkbomb, Coil, Farser and Drake.
Vs. control decks you really want Drakes in starting hand: Drakes and Emperor. Vs. control warrior also keep Owl and vs. handlock BGH.
Wombo-Combo:
Leeroy + 2 Power Overwhelming + Faceless = 28 dmg.
Leeroy + 1 Power Overwhelming + Faceless = 20 dmg.
P.S: If you face a lot of control decks you can put in Alextrasza or Dr. Boom.
No overly expensive cards (besides the combo),good card quality and fun.I think I fell in love :O
weak deck. very inconsistent. in case the combo pieces are on the bottom of the deck you're f**ked. you simply won't hold out.
The thing is... is that I have no idea how to play handlock.
this is just malygos lock without malygos
Which means it's nothing like Malygoslock without Malygos.
It would be better with malygos because just this one card slot turns early game removal into win conditions.
take out one ancient watcher and put in twisting nether for all the taunts out there that stack taunts for face hunters.
Arcane Golem is much more reliable than Leeroy
Wouldn't it be better to make room for giants?
I mean, if they see you playing like a traditional handlock deck then they won't expect combo to OTK 'em.
I removed a sludge belcher in favor of Alex and took out 1 owl, earthen, and zombie chow to put in another defender of argus + 2x molten giants. Added more win conditions.
I got rekt by this deck...
Sadface me. Even the Leeroy combo has been stolen from Rogues, the day of Rogue is yet to come it seems. Nice deck by the way!
I've seen a lot of people playing this deck as well as Freeze Mage recently. Not sure I'm particularly happy that ET brought them back from the grave.
Ah, the return of the old combo from Handlock back in the days of good ol' Leeroy Jenkins... (I wasn't playing HS then, but that's beside the point.)
My friend's been playing practically the same deck over the past month... Let me just say that taking over 30 damage in one turn is. Not. Fun.
#nerfthaurissanplzbecauseigotleeroydoublepoweroverwhelmingfacelessdarkbombQQ
Well, it would make the deck worse, but if you play summoning portal*2 you can OTK without Thaurissan.
It's super cheesy though. Lol.
I like it but i prefer the old version with Arcane Golem because the Leeroy combo only works if you had Emperor reduce costs the turn before while Golem combo works without at the loss of 4 damage (12*2=24).
Can't wait to try it out!
This deck works really well, climbed from rank 16 to rank 9 with this lineup. I replaced Zombie Chow with Kezan Mystic to deal with freeze mage. However, I still having problem match up against control warrior since they always have more than 30hp while the combo only has like less than 30 damage in total. :(
deck concept has been around since pre naxx
shouldnt you have more than one winning combo? like a arcane golem and maybe a second faceless? going all in on having 4 cards, 2 of them being one ofs?
