Renolock is an extremely versatile archetype due to having 30 different cards within its highlander style deck. This deck has 2 different endgame goals based on the matchup. Against aggro, Renolock tries to play defensively, using strong value cards to remove early aggression from the board using removal spells, using defensive minions such as Deathlord and Sludge Belcher, and eventually healing to full with Reno Jackson. Against control match-ups, the goal of the deck is to get value out of your cards, using Brann Bronzebeard/Kazakus then finishing your opponent off with Lord Jaraxxus, Leeroy Jenkins Combo, N'Zoth, the Corruptor or a combination of the 3 based on how the deck is built. Due to having 30 unique cards, there are a lot of slightly different decks circulating the wild ladder. The decks that we are showcasing today are some of the stronger variants that we have ran across, as they are the ones that are the most refined.
With the advent of Knights of the Frozen Throne, Renolock gained a powerful tool in Bloodreaver Gul'dan. The Death Knight has pushed the deck toward a demon build of Renolock, using Krul the Unshackled rather than N'Zoth, the Corruptor to build tempo.

yeah I run a similar deck to this and can agree that sense demons is a little crap. IMO I'd replace sense demons with a voidwalker, replace Felguard with a shadowbolt (to help better with aggro), nothing is worse than playing Felguard from your hand and losing a mana crystal, if you're playing against an aggro deck you won't be able to play Reno before you die. I disagree with the previous call on Brann though, he works very well in this deck, twilight drake is another target which is very strong against priest because they have a tough time removing a 4/15 dragon, also you can Brann into abyssal for a nice clear if you get behind on board or in rare cases can be a 6 damage lethal to your opponents face. There are five targets for Brann, looks fine to me.
Doesn't Imp Gang Boss water down your Bloodreaver Gul'dan pool?
Imo you should cut drain soul and sense demons since they are so slow and you basically get the heal from the DK. Also myself dont think fel guard is good at all cause it will back fire a lot if the enemy can easily kill it. Consider cutting mountain giant and defender of argus and adding like nzoth amd some deathrattle minions like sylvanas. Also you branns only targets are kazakus and healbot so its very unlikely you get value from it. Againts aggro turn 4 kazakus is really good if you get the board clear for 5 mana. I play highlander priest and its more early game than this and I still struggle againts aggro. Sorry for bitching D: giving my opinion
