Hey, I am Chinoize and I'm currently playing for team RUZ3.Gaming.
After playing many many games with VLPS' Renolock, I was looking for something new and exciting. After watching Hoej's BlueStack Invitational games on Twitch, I got the idea to play my own version of Demon Renolock. I decided not to run the leeroy combo because Jaraxxus served the same purpose of closing games versus control, with the upside of having less possible dead cards in hand.
SHORT DECK GUIDE:
MULLIGAN Okay, so there's one golden rule: ALWAYS keep Reno. You wanne be rich right?
- HUNTER: Mortal Coil, Zombie Chow, Peddler, Doomsayer, Darkbomb, Owl, Imp Gang boss. Keeping a 4-drop is fine if you already have a decent curve.
- MAGE: Zombie Chow, Darkbomb, Doomsayer, Owl, Imp Gang Boss Again, keeping a 4-drop is fine if you already have a decent curve. This mulligan is based on not knowing what mage archetype you're facing (freeze/tempo etc).
- WARLOCK: Zombie Chow, Darkbomb, Doomsayer, Owl, Imp Gang Boss, Mind control tech. As usual Keeping a 4-drop is fine if you already have a decent curve. This mulligan is based on not knowing what warlock archetype you're facing (zoo/reno etc).
- ROGUE: Darkbomb, Imp Gang Boss, Shredder, Twilight, Voidcaller. You can even consider keeping loatheb on a decent curve, as it's a good counter to a turn 4 violet teacher.
- WARRIOR: Doomsayer, Imp Gang Boss, Hellfire, Shredder, Twilight, Voidcaller, Emperor. This mulligan is based on not knowing what warrior archetype you're facing (patron/control etc).
- PALADIN: Mortal coil, Zombie Chow, Darkbomb, Peddler, Owl, Demonwrath, Imp Gang Boss, Mind control Tech (depends hand), Hellfire. This mulligan is based on not knowing what paladin archetype you're facing (secret/murloc etc).
- PRIEST: Darkbomb, Doomsayer, Shredder, Twilight Dragon, Voidcaller, Emperor. Mulligans for dragon and control priest are almost identical.
-SHAMAN: Mortal Coil, Zombie Chow, Darkbomb, Peddler, Imp Gang Boss, hellfire. Aggressive mulligan for Reno as most of the time it's Reno or Bust BabyRage
-DRUID: Zombie Chow, Darkbomb, Doomsayer, Imp Gang Boss, Shredder, Twilight, Voidcaller. In this matchup you need a good early curve to counter the druid's pressure, but it's certainly doable!
My mulligan guide is focused on ladder play. With some matchups, rogue for example, I don't have enough experience to give completely accurate advice. I don't really keep track of my matches, but personally I think the deck is favored or 50/50 versus most of the decks out there! Only a freeze mage player that knows what he's doing or murlocadin can provide problems. Also, druid in general is a tough matchup.
TECH CHOICES:
Doomsayer: Often provides a sick tempo swing, perfectly played on turn 2 against aggro decks to regain initiative, also very good after an aoe clear to lock down the board.
Mind control Tech: Zoo is a very popular deck and secret paladin is also well represented on ladder. Mind control tech is a very useful tool to prevent the board from snowballing when aoe clears are not at hand!
Kezan: I played this card for an offline tournament where I expected a lot of mages. For ladder, I would probably prefer a sylvanas or black knight (vs druids).
Loateb: Still a very strong card!
Molten Giant: Molten plus Reno is the dream combo. Also it is immensely strong against all the aggro decks on ladder!
UPDATE
I had a good night climb :)

Great Thank you I was looking for a great Reno deck!!
I dont think voidcaller is worth it without doomguard, i mean u want to play jeraxxus half the time from hand, mal'ganis gets killed very easily, and getting gangboss is nice but not impactful enough.
A 3/15 saves your bacon vs. tempo mage. Especially with Sunfury or Argus.
amazing deck!
from rank 6 to legend for first time!
another day, another new(not) reno-lock. what's the point to make decks with 1-2 card variative of other 1000 same decks? half of ladder playing combo druid, what's the point of kezan mystic? good deck for 25-10 ranks, not higher
I do not have Demon Wrath and seem to struggle a lot with this deck. Is it because of the missing Demon Wrath? Is it such a core card to the deck?
Keep up the good work :)
if you have imp gang boss (black rock mountain) then you also have access to demon wrath. it's the warlock class challenge after the one of the wings
u can replace it with expl.sheep
I only own the first 2 wings of BRM, Demon Wrath is is in the 5th wing :/
Very good deck, the only problem I have: How do I make mopre golden heroes if I always play warlock (best class obv. :D)
Ranked Gameplay ;)
Youtube-Player:
many missplays still win, good deck)
At the risk of sounding stupid:
Can this deck be played without Mal'Ganis??
hes the only card I dont have from this deck and I don't want to craft him since standard is coming.
Really strong deck love the Kezan trolling FeelsGoodMan :D !
Thanks :D ! YEAH!!! Seriously they need to be in renolock I think plus people get tilted so hard from Kezan if you look at the game from a psychological view then it's a perfect card XD ! WOOH!
Very nice mate. thanks and keep up the good work.
Great deck sir! Warlock is my weakest class by far for some reason, but with this deck I am 4-0 so far! stomps all those stupid face decks and control priests!
I don't have Lord Jaraxxus, but I removed Kezan Mystic and added Feugen/Stalagg in their place. Any opinion if that will work? Or any other card I should replace?
Thx for the input! I took your advice and replaced Voidcaller with Sylvanas Windrunner
I have all the cards but I want to put in Elise Starseeker into this deck. Which card should i replace it with?
