Hi, just wanted to share my Warlock giant build. Im not a hardcore player.
My rank usually 9-5 ( since season 1) .

From 5 onwards u need to adjust the build/ change classes sometimes according to the meta. And Grind.My most played heroes,Warlock, Paladin, shaman/druid.


Here are some short describtion my picks:
Core: x12
x2 Mountain Giant , x2 Molten Giant- core of this build, with life tap/more cards, both fit well in this deck.

x2 Twilight Drake- Same as . But u can replace 1 or both with other 4 drops like Chillwind Yetietc.- if u encounter lots of Shaman- Earth Shock

x2 Defender of Argus, x2 Sunfury Protector- its a must to protect u from dying.

Lord Jaraxxus, Alexstrasza- Both strong lategame cards. superb health gain.

If you dont have Alexstrasza, can replace it with Sylvanas Windrunner.

AOE, board clearing: x3-4
x2 Shadowflame, x2 Hellfire- I find both cards extreamely crucial. Hell fire deters most of aggro/1-3health creatures. You can cut hellfire to x1,
Shadow flame- gives extra AOE, paired with Defender argus/sunfury- 2 AOE, Farseer- 3 AOE, Ancient watcher 4AOE, Leeroy Jenkins- 6 AOE+ Charge.

 Removal: x2-3
x2 Siphon Soul- explain itself. if u have problem removing opponent's big creature in games, consider addin more

eg-  Big Game Hunter, Corruption [/card]( Latest patch- [card]Tinkmaster overspark no longer viable... too much of RNG)

Early - Mid control cards: x4-5-6
Drain Life, Shadow Bolt, Mortal Coil, Soulfire [/card]- Soulfire + leeroy + Power Overwhelming ( 18Burst damage + if you have 1 giant = 26 TOTAL to the FACE ! -if not taunted :))

x1[card]Leeroy Jenkins- Charge +  6AOE. u can replace with Magma rager/ or use ancient watcher only.
x1-2Earthen Ring Farseer- Heal + 3AOE. U can pick 1-2, situational.
x1-2Ancient Watcher- paired up with Taunt or Shadow flame 4AOE. U can pick 1-2, situational.
x1Faceless Manipulator


Other options:
1.Demonfire-  usually used as a removal rather than buffing up my minions- Drain life/shadow bolt, mortal coil Just better.
2.Twisting Nether- just too much for its use. Leeroy + shadow flame just better without sacrificing ur minions.
Iron beak owl- To silence ur Ancient/Taunt. Sometimes for Ysera/tirion etc. Good for silencing, and as a finisher for Taunted minions.  Ancient good for DEF prevent early rush with protector, and AOE blast if needed.

If you have spot for owl, put 1

3.Sen'jin Shieldmasta- replace Ancient watcher.

4. Mogu'shan Warden, Silverback Patriach - extra taunts for aggro.

===============================================================================================================================================

Strategy:

Druids- Mulligan for twillight drake/Mountain giants. Match should be ok, watch for big game hunter. swap board with big giants/minions.
Shaman- its just painful, Twillight drake -Earth shoked. Giant- Hexed. Keep Hellfire for Feral Spirit.

More ...later.
