Hey guys, Mountain Giants are back in town so I needed to share this with you! Deck is really sweet on ladder at the moment, so I fully recommend it. Let's take a look on some quick tips before you take it for a spin.
No matter who you play against you want to keep Possessed Lackey, he is just that good.
Versus aggro you want cheap cards, everything except Dark Pact is good, and Hellfire is also solid. Keeping Lesser Amethyst Spellstone is also an option, especially if you already have Kobold Librarian ready. Versus control you want Mountain Giant and Rin, the First Disciple as well as afformentioned Possessed Lackey, and mulligan everything else.
This Warlock has a great game against Priest compared to other Warlock decks, as he has just one answer against Mountain Giant, so you can just turbo kill him with T4 Giant into T5 Faceless Manipulator.
Against decks where Rin is important you want to play her and immediately kill her with Dark Pact so he cannot silence her away. You can shot down aggro hard on T6 thanks to Dark Pact in combination with Possessed Lackey, where you heal out of range and get Voidlord immediately.
Faceless Manipulator is great against other Warlocks, where you just copy their Carnivorous Cube, getting the great deathrattle effect!
Deck is extremely good against Paladin and very good against Rogue as it just crushes aggro, have a decent game against Priest and Quest Mage thanks to Dirty Rat and Mountain Giant, still OK matchup against Druid and unfavorable matchup versus other Warlocks. This deck works a bit differently than Cubelock, but the main difference is that it does a better job against aggro, AND dodges weapon removal very nicely, which is seeing some extra play nowadays.

I just registered solely to let you know that this deck is absolute trash. You should sincerely apologize for wasting my time. Doesn't have to be public, you can private message me as well. I'm waiting.
Well Met! If you are interested in watching a video where i explain my thought process of every move that im doing you can check out this video. I hope that you will learn something new ;)
What do you think about going Medivh, the Guardian for The Lich King? I always have the need to stick Atiesh in control warlock, especially now with Rin's seals. Is that fine, or is Lich just superior here?
REALLY BULLSHIT THIS DECK
Hello everyone!
Always happy to see decks from you Stan especially when it comes to warlock. I remember back in the days I saw you going for T1 coin tap (it was a long time ago) is that play still viable ? :O :D
I played this deck and I made a showcase about it as I do this for some time. In the video bellow you can see to games -
The first one is against Keleseth rogue where he manages to get the magic card on turn 2 but I went for I would call it risky play with the dirty rat and I got rewarded. Also defile is your good friend.
The second one is against a control warlock so I guess we could call that a mirror match. Not easy game at all but I got the Lackey value and then I just did not miss lethal :P.
I hope you can enjoy the video guys and have a nice day!
In my experience, Dirty Rat a little less than half of the time, pulls a minion that is really hard to deal with. Would Gnomeferatu be a viable replacement?
Man Stancifka will cry when Dirty Rat gets rotated out on April, he can't seem to build a Warlock deck without it, I know it's a good card but it's almost like he has a fetish with that card.
I switched Bloodmage Thalnos and 1 Mortal Coil for N'Zoth the Corruptor and Zola the Gorgon. The last i added because i recently opened her and i have to say she fits surprisingly well. You can either get another Giant or Voidlord or even a Rat if you really need more against Raza. One TIme i even managed to copy good old Zotti (which was obviously overkill at that point). I don't know if this version is more competetive, but it's definitely more fun!
Geist is to important in the meta right now to pass up. Drop a rat and add a Geist makes the deck much better.
Thx to you Slávek I FEL in luw with THE GULDAN :) The best čas of my život, strávený watching on tvoj stream :)
Nice deck! I'm 14-1 with this deck at the start of the month so pretty decent. Games vs aggro go pretty quickly since Voidlord basically results results in an instant concede.
Games vs control aren't too bad due to Rin, the First Disciple. Thanks for post Kappa
I have found this deck better with Nzoth and another Nether.. used them instead of bloodmage and mortal coil. And I think geist could be good here too.
Fun deck! However even with the perfect opening draw (Giants into faceless) I still die to Raza priests, even when they don't have their Razakus deployed, just not enough healing. They snipe my giants and facebomb me before I get my Rin off. Feelsbadman
priest is stupid
What about Faceless Shambler instead of 1 Dirty Rat?
dunno im not convinced with the lack of siphon souls but i wish the deck good luck :D
Title should be "StanCifka's controllock with 2 Mountain Giants chucked in is back!"
Well, that's already a good chunk of the "Handlock package".
i am only missing one dirty rat, how do i replace him? thanks in advance
Try Stonehill Defender or Faceless Shambler
