FINALLY i returned to hearthstone and after a month desided to update this "Demonhandlock" which i created a year ago, lul.
Short foreword

Haven't played hs for a year, because of school, but finally, have much time for this game and already hit legend 3 times with 3 accounts in November. Maybe will try myself in cybersport (: 

So, english is not my main, don't blame me for grammar or something like that, please <3

As a usual i did last year, this time it's going to be a very detailed guide: card discussion, mulligans, matchups, winrates.

Also if you read this, probably i'm already streaming (first time) and hitting legend with this deck on other accounts to show you how to play this most effectively, so check it out! https://www.twitch.tv/pvahs

Another short foreword about the deck.

Played ~350 games using this deck, currently having a very high winrate. Last time hitted legend with 79% winrate, some screenshots below this spoiler. Deck seems one of the strongest for ladder and maybe i'll try to reach top200 with it in the end of month. Renolock is not really easy but i'll try to explain you some key things and soon will post some videos (after creating YT channel)) )

 

+1 win against renopriest(idk, but track-o-bot lagged and didn't write that) Hitted that 12/17, but haven't played ladder much. On the first day of msog hitted 5 rank with aggrocanser/renolock, then haven't played ladder for 2 weeks. so from rank 5-> legend took me ~4 days, i didn't count, cause didn't think that i'm gonna write here something again. 

THE GUIDE

Card discussion

I will only give you quick explain for cards, which not all renolocks use.

Dirty Rat

You don't see this card in my deck, but i tried it a lot. The key thing here is your meta. If you face aggro shamans A LOT (you know, shamanstone still exists, but now there are too many aggro shamans with Flamewreathed Faceless and Aya Blackpaw, and it's to risky to play this card against them on turn 2->5, because you have not any good answer for that (usually you haven't). Dirty Rat is extremely good against control decks, because you can ruin so many good combos: KazakusBrann BronzebeardLeeroy JenkinsGadgetzan Auctioneer and others, BUT i don't use it, due to aggro shamans/dragon warriors meta. If you meet mostly control decks, i highly recommend you to use it and card substitutions for the deck will write down, so you need to scroll the main guide.

Blastcrystal Potion

Blastcrystal Potion is extremely good against big minions in early game like Flamewreather FacelessMountain GiantTwilight Drake and a very good cheap removal in lategame. It destroys one of your mana crystal but that doesn't matter much.

Abyssal Enforcer

Perfect new card for renolock which can even synergy with your Sylvanas Windrunner in different ways. It allows you to board clear against "spam minions decks" like Jade decks, aggro and tempo decks. 

Lord Jaraxxus

To be onest, this is my favorite card in a game since i tried handlock decks 2 years ago. Right know, the most part of renolock decks use Ragnaros the Firelord instead Lord Jaraxxus, but i think for ladder it's still more valuable, also it's one of your win condition against all control decks. Even against aggro after you played Reno Jackson sometimes you have to play Lord Jaraxxus to stay alive. In mirror match i think Jaraxxus > Rag, but i'll talk much more, how to play mirror, because it's the most interesting matchup.

Sylvanas Windrunner

Recently i found this card a bit weak in current meta, because sometimes it's seems very slow, and maybe i'll replace it with something. But still, one of the strongest legendary in a game and combo with Shadowflame can rekt your opponent. Also this card has a good synergy with Abyssal EnforcerBlastcrystal Potion, you know. 

Leeroy Jenkins
