Hi there! I´m Andree59 and this is one of my decks. I'll be glad for all of the comments and FollowMe. This deck help me get from rank 12 to rank 5 in one day.
First, I would like to invite you to a new group for WILD players, where you can share your decks, consulting a metagame, share your games and discovering with other lovers of this format. The group is here.
This deck was created primarily as a anti Shaman, anti Reno and anti Edwin (But probably nobody playing rogue). Therefore, there is so many answers for early big minions. Renolock is trying to put T4 Giant and shaman always put T4 Faceless. The deck is also interesting because it has a stable matchup against pirates. The only real problem is the Dragon Priest. It is perhaps the most skill intensive match I've ever played.
Why is this deck soooo goood? Because Brann+Kazakus+Soulcaster!!!
My stats:
Favorable match up – All Renodecks, Priest control, All versions of shaman, Patron warrior, Freeze mage, Secret paladin, Anyfin paladin, Malygos warlock
50/50 match up – Pirates warrior, Tempo warrior, classic control warrior (+fatigue), Tempo mage, Jade druid
Slightly unfavorable match up (maybe 40/60) – Dragon priest
Description of individual cards:
Mistress of Mixtures – Currently better one drop than zombie chow. Zombie persist more but Mistress is better in mid game against aggro deck and can save your life even if you play Nzoth only for 1-2 deathrattle minions.
Bubbling book - Better one drop than Mana wyrm. Very good interaction with Brann.
Acidic Swamp Ooze – Key card against two dominant decks on Wild (Shaman and Warrior). Keep it in opening hand against this classes. In mirror match never play Ooze too early, wait for oponents Medivh.
Doomslayer – Good card in many situations keep it always in your starting hand. Only against pirates, it is often only the addition of 7 lives, and not the board clear. Against shaman you always kill Trogg and block second round.
Flamecanon, Frost bolt - early clear (against Brann, Totem golem, Canon, Frothing)
Mad scientist - Early minion and card advantage
Arcane Intellect - Card draw
Brann – One of the best cards in entire deck. In 90% of situations keep it into late game. Classic combo is Brann+Kazakus+Soulcaster. Against aggro decks you can use synergy of Brann + Healbot as „second Reno Jackson“. This card can not be replaced by another card.
Deathlord - Key card against aggro and controls. Maybe this card is the main reason why I play Nzoth. He can throw away the key minions of your oponents deck and safe your ass against aggro.
Duplicate + Ice block - Two secrets, both important. Ice block is important against OTK decks. I was always very angry when I played OTK Malylock and opponent played ice block. Duplicate is situational card. Of course, it's best to play for duplicating Kazakus and Kabal courier or Deathlord.
Kabal courier - Need second kazakus? Find him! Need Twisting nether? Find it! Another crazy card in combination with Brann.
Manic soulcaster - This card is very important in my strategy against control decks. I'm trying to win in fatigue and this card you can add another Reno Jackson or with Brann even two cards back into the deck.
Volcanis potion + Twilight flamecaller - early game board clear
Kazakus – It is the best card of new expansion. He can win a lot of games and you can choose what you need in each situation and each match up. In most cases, I prefer 5 cost spell. But there is nothing better than using 10 cost spell than clear board and summon 3 your minions. In another situation this can give you Armor and save your ass . He can also turn the match against warrior pirates. Against Anyfin always pick transform. Against Nzoth always pick global tranform. This card can not be replaced by another card. Don’t play this deck without it. Do not forget the classic combo Brann+Kazakus+Soulcaster!
Polymorph - You can neutralize annoying minions (early big minions+Brann or late game cards Ysera etc.)
BGH + Flame lance - As i said these cards are against Shaman and Renolock. If changes meta cut BGH and add taunt or Echo of Medivh.
Cabalist´s Tome - Card advantage
Sludge Belcher - The best taunt minion on Wild
Blizzard + Flamestrike - late game board clear
Reno Jackson - everybody know it
Sylvana - It is great card and there is synergy with Fireball.
Dr. Boom - Sometimes it is advantageous to play this card in synergy with Brann.
Nzoth - Many of you have asked me why I play Nzoth and no Medivh. First of all, I think that Medivh is a bad card. All deck are playing Ooze or Harrison. Secondly Nzoth bring you back taunt minions. Another deathlord may discard the another card from opponent´s deck. You don't need to have big minions to win the game. What I play in deck is absolutely sufficient for my purpose and it is only one of my win conditions.
Other highlights and insights:
Many of you have also asked me why I don´t play Solia. I think it's a bad card. Solia is tempo card, but which Renodeck has tempo?
Why don't you play Emperor? This isn´t Renolock I don´t see why I should play it. This card is good only to "freeze" version with Alexstrasza. I think that "Alex version" isn´t consistent as mine.
What is a strategy against the controls? These matches i usually win in fatigue thanks soulcaster + deathlord. You have far more destruction than other controls and you have many potentional win conditions. Don't hurry and wait.
Nice deck. I subbed duplicate and mad scientist. I found really hard to duplicate something useful.
I keep playing this, and can't win, i'm too bad with it . 44% WR
why not water ele its good vs all weapon classes. also maybe firelands or azure drake 5 mana bgh isnt that good
I Thank you for such an insightful deck was searching for a type of mage to play reno and thanks to this i filled my gap in wild thank you will give it a try
Loving this deck :) I do not have Manic Soulcaster so I decided to play a Dirty Rat
I am only struggling against any type of priest.
This deck made me play ranked mage. And wild. I playi since vanilla and didn't really do these things much before.
And now I have so much fun! Experience is so... fresh. That the deck is really, really effective is just an addition :)
Thanks.
Im seeing more and more decks running Prince Malchezar to deal with the mirror, do you think this is a good addition? Also cutting twilight flamecaller for unstable ghoul for a turn earlier of taunt and deathrattle with a similar sweeper effect really solidifies those aggro matchups
33% WR so far.
very pleasant deck, with some personnal adjustement, just work right :)) kudo for you to share it. totally worth it ^^
working for me, almost have 70% wr with it
i'm really getting punished from jade druids, any tips for this matchup?
any replacement for Dr. Boom i discard it for dust cause i don't play wild any more
Then dont play wild :D
my opponent did ragequit =P

Nice to see a wild deck on the front page. Well done sir.
You said its 40 - 60 but thats not correct. Dragon priest make fun of this deck :) I played against this deck like 20 times at least and almost all of them I didn't even take a single damage. Even though dragon priest is not really common you have almost no chance to win against them and you have been warned.
I got pretty high win rate against Secret Paladin with my Renolock last season in wild. Secret Paladin is like tier 2 in wild. Reno decks beats out his ass.
Both Pirate Warrior and Midrange Shaman are 67%-33% vs. Secret Paladin. But you are right in that Secret Pally crushes Reno Mage.
How do you not play against paladin? They are everywhere?
Went from 15 to 17-_- The problem I notice is that in all my games I don't even draw Reno
I don't know why but I always draw reno on my first 10 cards against pirate warrior he always bring joy to my face
