Hi all! i want to share with all of you a really fun deck to play(and maybe good too,who knows!)
This is a little guide that explains the deck
It plays like a Control Warlock,it starts really good with early minions like Kobold Librarian,Vulgar Homunculus and Voidwalker.
Fungal Enchanter is a better Earthen Ring Farseer and it works really well with your early minions.
Medivh, the Guardian works really well with cards like Rin, the First Disciple Seals, with big spells like Twisting Nether and Siphon Soul
Arcane Tyrant is a really good card in this deck,it works well with big spells and seals(a 4/4 and a 2/2 for the first seal resolve a bit the tempo loss)
Hooked Reaver is a MVP card versus aggro decks. a 4 mana 7/7 with taunt helps alot on the board, and its really likely to have 15 or less health with this deck,especially in aggro matchups.
Lesser Amethyst Spellstone is awesome with all your deal damage to yourself effects,and it gives you a bit of heal and a great removal.(its considerable to run two of these instead maybe of a Hellfire)
Rin, the First Disciple like explained before, works well with Arcane Tyrant and Medivh, the Guardian because of Seals,This Card is more of a control matchup card,in aggro matchups is like a bad 6 drop with taunt.For this card you dont need to think of the final reward(Azari) but more of the value it offers with the Seals.
Im open to answer all of your questions (if you have some :P)
UPDATE 1: Removed a Mortal Coil and Drain Soul and added 2 Defile.
UPDATE 2: Is considerable to Remove an Hellfire or an Abyssal Enforcer for an Healing tool,only because of Hunter hero power and aggressive cards(it depends on how many hunter do you encounter)Same thing for Skulking Geist if you encounter a lot of Jade Druid.
UPDATE 3: Removed the last Mortal Coil,Removed a Hooked Reaver,Removed an Hellfire and added 1 Skulking Geist 1 Drain Soul 1 Lesser Amethyst Spellstone
I removed Mortal Coil because Drain Soul is better in aggro matchups, offers a early removal and healing for your hero and it helps more to set a good Defile
2 Hooked Reaver were too much,because in control matchups most of the time they were only 4/4s sitting in my hand,So i decided to remove one and put a Skulking Geist for jade druids,dragon priests(inner fire) and Kingsbane Rogues(deadly poison).
I removed an Hellfire too,because we already have cards Like Abyssal Enforcer,Defile,Twisting Nether and Despicable Dreadlord for AoE,I put instead another Lesser Amethyst Spellstone for healing potential and a good "big minions" removal.
If you want to see the deck in action,there's the video of kiwiinbacon playing it!
If i wrote the "guide"in bad grammar,im sorry but my first language is not english but italian.
hey :) can you suggest a change for rin, the first disciple ? (i think that if you change rin you should change arcane tyrant aswell)
Rin is the heart of this. You pull Rin out, you need to gut the rest of the deck.
Rin is way too slow and most of the time you play her you end up being overrun. If you want to make a competative version of this remove Rin
Has no one problems with hunters? I get crushed by them with this deck... 2-8 (W-L)
Any tips?
nm
Do you think it is worth disenchanting a golden Val'anyr to complete this deck?
depends on which card you are looking to craft. if it is rin then i would say no but if it were medivh or bloodreaver maybe
yeah, i've already got a golden Rin in a pack, but i've just disenchanted val'anyr to get gul'dan and some epics
Is Rin replaceble in this kind of deck?
Removed 2x Voidwalkers, Medivh, added The Darkness, 2x Tar Creepers, and now the deck just destroys priest. Also it seems stronger against aggro this way.
Why not [card]Corridor Creeper[/card] instead of [card]Arcane Tyrant[/card]? I feel like there would be a lot more value from [card]Corridor Creeper[/card] as there are only three 5+ mana spells in this deck.
The Seals from Rin are 5 mana.
That is an excellent point lol.
This deck's pretty good. I'm doing a lot better with it after crafting the 2 Arcane Tyrants
The only card I'm missing now is Medivh, the Guardian, so idk how much that'll affect my wr. I replaced him with The Darkness cuz I opened a gold one
i wouldn't recommend using the darkness, consider replacing it with something with more impact. Twisting nether may come in handy.
Yeah, the darkness is usually 4 mana do nothing. Oh well.
I added that nether and went on a winstreak from 16 to 13, so thanks :)
Like the Arcane Tyrants, Medivh, the Guardian is about getting additional value from your seals to counter the horrible tempo of the first few seals. Replacing it with the Darkness just adds another win condition to a deck that already has a few, if you have to replace it i would grab something that can either minimize the tempo hit of playing the seals or pick up another board clear so that you can reset the board after you have lost tempo from the seals.
Very nice deck. Thank you. but 90% matchups are Priest and they rekt me so hard
Try The Darkness. Very good against priest if you manage to play before Kazakus and Raza.
