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.
any replacement for arcane tyrant? I have everything else. I guess it's probably a key card in this deck. have not been lucky enough to open any in packs yet, but as soon as I do I'll give yours a go.
if you'd like to check out my new control-lock dck and give some advice, would be great. I also put in 1 x geist to do with jade (jade is so bad, man when it gets going)
Arcane tyrant is a really good card in this deck so i think you should craft it! its like you said a "key card" so if you dont have it the deck would be worse.
I replaced him with an ooze for weapon removal. With face mage showing it's face today in that tournament if you don't destroy that weapon your face is fireball bait. As for the second arcane tyrant I put in Corridor Creeper.
Without Rin, the First Disciple both Medivh, the Guardian and Arcane Tyrant looses a good amount of value versus control decks,but if you really dont want to craft her, You can ""replace"" her with The Lich King or with Elise the Trailblazer or with some defensive/controlish tools like Tar Creeper etc..
Either [card]Stonehill Defender[/card] for RNG or The Darkness for a similar effect.
Any place to fit Eater of Secrets ?
Just got a 10/2 from rank 10, but Secret mage or Spell Hunter are a pain in the ass.
You can remove one of this card if yo want Eater of Secrets
Kobold Librarian,Vulgar Homunculus or Fungal Enchanter
Replaced the Fungal Enchanter gonna see how it helps me from rank 9
as of today all aggro decks are having a field day with this deck...to much sell damage to make the 1 spell worth wild seems just a bad mix. And before you say mistress yeah I know I ran a similar deck last season to legend this one is just not optimal.
I actually like Spiteful Summoner in this deck, lot of high cost spells.
damn, I wish we could have more cards in a deck, it's so hard trying to fit everything in.
I know that feel, control warlock is pretty much my favorite archetype so it's always a pain having to cut things when you just to pack more into the deck. I replaced Hellfire for the time being mostly because I find I usually have sufficient removal in most games without it and it can also often do more harm than good in hunter matchups. It is a bit of a downer when you pull a defile as your spiteful spell ;P but often I'd mulligan for a defile anyway considering there are a lot of aggroish decks on ladder at the moment. I imagine replacing Skulking Geist for a summoner couldn't hurt either, I personally don't see that many jade druids on ladder right now (I'm rank 8 currently) but there's always that worried feeling I get when I see a druid so I'd be more reluctant to cut geist.
I will give spiteful summoner a go anyway.
BTW, are you running 2 x summoner.
Nah just one of them at the moment, I don't know what else I'd cut to put in another tbh.
Yeah look I think it's worth experimenting and putting in a bit of a surprise factor for your opponent sometimes I reckon. I just beat a big priest using Azari, most satisfying way to win ever.
Im trying rin but really thinking skulking is probably just better unless people are going to play dead man's warrior. Rin is too slow vs jade druid.
You're English is awesome dude, not a person would be able to notice you're not native to it. Thanks for the deck and guide:)
