Hello,
I have been playing renolock in wild for a long period of time but a new deck has come along that seems superior. That deck is, wild cubelock. Very similar to standard cubelock, but it is buffed significantly by having cards like voidcaller, mal'ganis, and darkbomb. Voidcallers add to the consitency of cheating out big demons and mal'ganis is well... mal'ganis.
The game plan of the deck is straightforward, cheat out big demons, but with cards like cube, defile, and weighing the probabilities of what demons can come out of lackey/voidcaller make the deck very complex.
As with any other control deck, you walk a fine line between getting the most tempo/value out of your cards and playing around lethal from your opponent. In the context of this deck a lot of time this equates to how greedy you can be with your dark/pacts/ voicallers/ lackeys. Ie, can I wait a turn to use this dark pact and get some trades with the minion or do I need the heal now? Just be aware of the range of the deck your playing against.
Mulligans:
Aggro: Defile, hellfire, darkbomb, voidcaller, voidlord if you already have voidcaller.
Midrange: hellfire, defile, voidcaller, lackey
Control: Voidcaller, lackey, thaurissan. In control match ups you prefer to get doomguards or mal'ganis then voidlords from voidcaller. For this reason its better to toss voidlords and look for the other two.
If you have any more questions about card replacements/ anything else, let me know in the comments.
Also, after a long hiatus I am offering coaching again, specializing in control and reno warlock but familiar with all styles. My credentials include over 5 top 5 legend finishes in wild on NA, and 2 top 100 finishes in standard. DM me on here or twitter for more info.

(As you can see, had nether in original list. Taken that out for weapon to cheat out more demons.)
Actually have been thinking about that a ton lately. Most people have labelled weapon as "too greedy" but playing this deck a lot in standard I can tell you weapon is one of the best cards to draw. Usually this deck fails when it doesnt have a way to cheat out demons by turn 5 or 6, so having another card that can do that should in theory help the deck. I've actually been experimenting with cutting nether for weapon and I think its a good move. Instead of having more oddball removal for the game that goes wrong, probably better to up the chance of carrying out the game plan of this deck, cheating out big stuff. The true strength of weapon over lackey or voidcaller is it gives you full mana to work with next turn.
Got a good feel for the deck went from 21 to 10 in about 4 hours ! Seems really good it's flexible and destroys aggro for the most part XD ! Thanks for sharing yoh! Here's my spotlight vid!
The climb is real! Great stuff.
Hahahahaha yeah really good winrate I'd say thanks XD !
Love the deck so far! Lots of board clears, ways to cheat out expensive things for cheap, and it still has burst! I have lost games when I couldn't find the answers I needed, but the games I did find them - DAYUM!! It was barely a fair fight :D
Edit: I don't have the warlock legendary weapon, so I haven't tried cubelock in standard yet
Really hate this deck as a Reno Priest (never played it with my dragon priest yet). Techd in Mass Dispel, Entomb and Psychic Scream for it, quite helped a lot. Still through i'm not a fan of it, + for having a wild-deck so high in the ranking on hearthpwn. Wild deserves far better, since it's simply the better format!
Wild is gonna be some kind of VIP place for rich people !
Very, very true. Invest wisely.
Yeah I agree with you ! Actually my post wasn't negative at all, I almost exclusively play wild because I have invested a lot over time and want to play with my whole collection ! But I feel like for new players, this mode might be impossible or very frustrating !
Super fun deck, lost to a mill rogue, but I beat a few aggro rogues and that felt far too good. Not sure why people are complaining about the doomguards, between Voidcaller and Possessed Lackey, I don't think I've ever played my doomguard, it's been summoned for me. Then I faceless manipulator it and start whipping butt.
And the Cube on your doomguard followed up with dark pact is totally sick. :)
Any replace for Mal'Ganis?
Can't really think of one, mal'ganis is too unique and powerful in what he does. Sorry :(.
I replaced Faceless Manipulator with Prince Taldaram. It's maybe less useful when copying Doomguard but it is better for copying Carnivorous Cube.
This deck is truly revolting - I won 9 games in a row from rank 6 (5 stars) to Rank 4 (4 stars). I was lucky when against mirror matches and I didn't face aggro (so I can't say how that is) but I absolutely pounded everyone... Didn't even feel like a contest.
I feel bad playing this... Control decks don't really stand a chance - the overwhelming instant value you can make is insane and if you do fall behind you can just pummel them with N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Bloodreaver Gul'dan.
I'm sure it also beats mid-range... Cheating out a Voidlord will usually put a stop to anything they try.
Sub for N'zoth, the Corruptor? Can you give ur Giant's Cubelock decklist for standard u've streamed yesterday?
Sure thing, it is 2 cards different than : https://twitter.com/ZalaeHS/status/942759851490394112 . I run umbra and thalnos instead of taldaram and 1 faceless.
Why u dont use Baron Riverdare in this deck ?? is not it the best card for this archtype ?
Umbra is just a better card if you want to go that route.
Love this deck!! i didnt had much time on my hand, but i manage to try three games and won all three of them! Amazing deck so far and it brings something new to the game, with the cube! :) Nice card for sure, im impressed!!!
Today I faced the greediest list possible: Skull of the Manari, 2 Faceless AND Prince Taldaram!!! I was playing the same deck, but a more reasonable version, with mistress of mixtures and a spellbreaker tech against mirrors. Obviously I got hugely outvalued...
Then I queued again and faced a burn mage that killed me T4... Such a shitty game...
