Mulligans and Strategies
VS. Mage
Difficulty: HARD
Mostly of the Mages in this tabern are aggro. This means that you will need a really good board clears and removals, and obviously survive.
In this match up we will need always to keep:
Dark bomb: this card will help us to clean cards like Kirin Tor Mage/card] [card]Medivh's Valet Arcanologist and a key card of the mage Mana Wyrm
Cards like Defile and Hellfire will help a lot in this match up, Defile sometimes is really good when the mage plays a Kabal Lackey or Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Sometimes if you have Voidcaller + Voidlord i really recommend to keep them, mostly of the match ups the mage has Explosive Runes in the early. This secret will do 6 damage to our Voidcaller/card] and we will have a huge boy in our side then [card]Voidlord. This will be almost gg if we can control the board later that.
Sometimes Kobold Librarian + Lesser Amethyst Spellstone is a really good combo, the little Kobold will disturb the mage, if our opponent dont ping this minion we can kill a Sorcerer's Apprentice or another minion. If he pings our minion, he will waste 2 mana and a turn 2. That will be really amazing for us, cuz the mage will not have much minions.
And also our spellstone will deal 5 damage + lifesteal to a big boy in turn 4
A variant of this deck is Mistress of Mixtures this card against mage will be amazing for the mulligan, is a 2/2 and can trade most of the minions of this mage for a good Defile this also will heals you 4HP.
BEWARE OF Potion of Polymorph when you use the strat of Voidcaller
This mage variant dont play with Counterspell so, dont play around it and play smart.
What i mean playing ¨smart¨?
If you dont even need to use your hero power Life Tap, please dont use it. That is almost -2 HP every turn!
If you controlled the board just be carefull with Life Tap and play smart the Dark Pact (x2)
VS. Paladin
Difficulty: EASY
Mostly of the Paladins in this tabern will be aggro decks. Some variants of the Secret Paladin with the Mysterious Challenger, some murlocs variant with Finja, the Flying Star and you can also see the new meta deck: Dudeadin with the big Sunkeeper Tarim
In this match up we will need always to keep:
Defile extremely good card in this match up, this will easily clear a entire board of paladin. Paladin hero power adds a 1/1 minion in the field, that means Defile will activate twice and will deal a lot of damage to the entire board.
Sometimes you dont need to use an early Defile, just play smart and wait the exact moment to kill all or the mostly minions that you can.
Hellfire such a nice card in this match up! This card will five us a huge removal, it deals 3 damage to ALL the minions.
Paladin has a really good turn 4 Call to Arms this will fill the board with little minions, here our Hellfire will be really usefull, or instead this beatiful card, our best friend: Defile
As i said for mage as well, our mulligan can be those spells or just a Voidcaller + Voidlord this combo is amazing if u can kill the voidcaller trading to another minion or using Dark Pact. Mostly of this match ups, if you have this big boy in the field is an insta concede of your opponent.
Misstress of Mixtures will be a really good option to keep if you are using it, it will be amazing cuz is trading really well in early game
Dark Bomb will not help too much in this match up, so dont keep it!
PLAY SMART!
- Dont Life Tap too much in early game when you have already the removals
- Be carefull with turn 6, most of the paladins have Sunkeeper Tarim, try to removal all the minions in turn 5
- Use our usefull strategy whenever u can Possessed Lackey + Dark Pact
- CUBE ALWAYS Voidlord whenever u can!
VS. Shaman
Difficulty: MEDIUM
Mostly of the Shamans in this tabern are aggro, this deck contains a lor of burst damage and big overload minions Flamewreathed Faceless , Totem Golem and a little disturbing Tunnel Trogg
In this match up we will need always to keep:
Darkbomb our best card in this match up, we will use it to kill the Tunnel Trogg in turn 2 if possible.
As we know, this minion gets +1 ATK per locked mana crystal, that means, every overload will +1 his ATK. Dark Bomb will kill this little kid.
As every aggro deck we will need some board clears Defile sometimes is really good for mulligan, this will help us to clean the board
Note: Shaman has Jade Claws this will summon a 1/1 Jade, in this case we will use Defile to kill it and some of the other board, minions like Whirling Zap-o-matic will die as well.
Another good board clear as we know is Hellfire ALWAYS KEEP IT this will really help us to clean minions like Tunnel Trogg card]Whirling Zap-o-matic[/card] and Feral Spirit wolves
Strategy:
Situational you are looking for Lesser Amethyst Spellstone in midgame, our objective will be UPGRADE it to kill the big Flamewreathed Faceless
You will looking for an early Voidlord so, if u can keep Voidcaller + Voidlord DO IT this will be preety hard to clean for the shaman cuz they are not running Hex or Devolve
As soon you canm looking for our special combo Possessed Lackey + Dark Pact to put a free demon in the field
- Dont Life Tap too much, be smart and play smart, this deck can deal a lot of damage in a turn!
- Try to upgrade the spellstone to kill the big boys Flamewreathed Faceless
- Carefull against Doomhammer this card is pretty strong with the combo Rockbitter Weapon (sometimes variants of shamans are running it)
VS. Priest
Difficulty: MEDIUM/HARD
There are a lot of variants of priest right now, to be honest the hard one will be the Big Priest and sometimes the Combo Priest list; I played against Spiteful and it wasnt a big deal, just board clears and playing around his cards.
Our mulligan against priest will be:
This is used to be a control match up, but there are a lot of variants of priest in this meta, so carefull
Mostly we will looking for Possessed Lackey, this will give us a demon to dodge some damage if its big priest
If you think you are playing against Spiteful, just go for the value. Keep Hellfire Dark bomb to control the field.
If it's Spiteful, take care of turn 6 Spiteful Summoner will summon a big boy, in this case you will be looking for a huge taunt or something to kill it, try to play like tempo and use your Life Tap smart, wait to turn 8 and just Twisting Nether
Hard looking for Gul'Dan and Nzoth, cuz this priest has Mind Control be careful and play around it!
In this match up against combo priest, you cant do anything, if he has a god hand it will be almost gg and an instalose for you, so try to keep Dark bomb to clear Northshire Cleric or Radiant Elemental
As we know, if the priest doesnt have minions in the board, he cant OTK you, so, try to control all the board and be carefull with the silences.
In the big priest match up just try to play in tempo and playing around all the resurrects spells.
Remember that he has Diamond Spellstone in turn 7, so keep your Twisting Nether
If you are running Sylvanas Windrunner will be almost gg for you, try to get her early in turn 6 to control their minions, try to combo with Carnivorous Cube or Prince Taldaram for an insane value!
VS. Warlock
Difficulty: HARD
This match up is really hard and almostyou get fatigue most of the time, there are a lot of variants of warlock, our enemy is Rin, the First Disciple
If you think is zoo, just keep always our early removals Defile Hellfire and Darkbomb
As soon you can, try to get a Possessed Lackey to the field and get value on it, this will be almost gg if Voidlord comes.
Now the hard match up, Control Warlock: (Tips)
- Be carefull with Rin, the First Disciple, he will try to kill her by hymself
- Always take care of playing N'Zoth or Gul'Dan (Most of the Warlock lists has x2 Twisting Nether)
- Try to get an insane value of your cubes and put the pressure one with Doomguards
- Take your weapon as soon possible Skull of Man'ari
- Carefull with your Life Tap, try to dont get fatigue too easily, remember that you are cycling cards with Possessed Lackey and Voidcaller
As mulligan, just go hard for Possessed Lackey + Dark Pact or demons and Skull of Man'ari, try to get pressure with Doomguards and cube them fast, REMEMBER to cube them if u can kill the Carnivorous Cube with Dark Pact. Some lists of control warlock has Spellbreaker
Try to get value of our key card Mal'Ganis this is insane against the mirror, you can get a lot of power
And remember that you have a special weapon Power Overwhelming this sometimes can be a surprise for a lethal!
I hope you guys enjoyed, thanks for all the views and the upvotes! You guys are insane <3
(Sorry for the other match ups but i didnt found any hunter and rogue)

Zirpac#1819 (NA)
Before cube u always need to have Dark Pact
So against mage:
Carnivorous Cube to someting + then Dark Pact + mage concede crying cuz no Polymorph
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nice deck! Thx for 12-2 and 490 gold. Lost to similar Lock & Kombodruid
Made some changes:
-Mal'Ganis (don't have it) , - Faceless Manipulator, - PO, - Emperor Thaurissan , -Skull of the Man'ari
+2Mixtress, +Sylvanas Windrunner, +2Doomsayer
Thanks bro, enjoy that gold and really thanks for giving a try in this deck
Those changes are really good if u had a lot of aggro. 10/10!
Skull isn't over kill really, it's redundancy so you always have an outlet for your Demons and preferably your Doomguards to pull off the Doomguard, Umbra, Cube, Pact combo for 25 Charge damage or 4 Mal'ganis. If you're going to cut Sylvanas, Umbra and Mistress then you had better have a mid-game with Mountain Giants or a late-game with 2 Twisting Nether because you can only win on value as it is - and there are higher value control decks out there.
I agree with this comment i play warlock as you, i cut Spiritsinger Umbra cuz sometimes is a card that i cant use. Aggro decks sometimes make some pressure, then is impossible to play the card.
Anyways is also a really good card for this deck!
Thanks for the support!
I think you can always play Spiritsinger Umbra on curve vs aggro, because if they don't attack Spirtsinger Umbra then they're going to risk a T5 Possessed Lackey + Spiritsinger Umbra trigger into a free Voidlord or Mal'ganis. It's a soft taunt in Cubelock like Brann Bronzebeard is in Renolock.
Seems Good, you are right, you can play it as a tempo. Good point.
went 12-2 with this deck, only lost to 2x bad draws against aggro pala and a lonely hunter
You are insane, hope you enjoyed the deck and thanks for giving it a try!
Some deckbuilding decisions that you copy from standart Cubelock are not the best for wild. For example, there is absolutly no need in Skull because of the Voidcallers. There is no reason to put Emperor Taurissan, because your valuable plays are all below 6cmc. And i dont like Faceless and PO (no need in burst and no need in value from faceless). So better remove that cards and add:
2 Mixtress - for better survivability
1 Sylvanas - just too powerful
1 Nzot - second powerfull summoning wave
so how did it go with your changes? BTW nzoth is already in the deck
Sylvanas Windrunner is really nice in the deck as well, i'd say Cairne Bloodhof is a really good replace for Emperor Thaurissan
I used Emperor Thaurissan cuz sometimes i needed an early N'Zoth or Gul'dan, anyways your suggestions are really nice!
Hope you enjoyed the deck mate!
12-1 and 11-3 =) go to the third try
marvelous deck, but to slow for this brawl..
Thanks dude, it's not slow at all, you should do a better mulligan maybe! Now im gonna write the strats and mulligan things
Thanks for the support anyways!
Skull of the Man'ari AND Voidcaller is overkill, the weapon is too slow imo. Sylvanas Windrunner adds a lot of disgusting combo potential to the deck. I would also cut 1 Doomguard or Emperor Thaurissan for Prince Taldaram.
Agreed with your suggestions SlydE... maybe I'm crazy but I really find that Emperor Thaurissan doesn't benefit combos in this deck. Spiritsinger Umbra adds to combo potential vs control and adds an extra early game body vs aggro
The sugesstions are really nice SlydE Sylvanas Windrunner will add a really good combo and a lot of fun, im gonna try it.
For me it was ok x2Doomguard but Prince Taldaram is such a really good card as well. Hope you enjoyed the deck anyways
Thanks for the cosntructive critics!
Hi Szarpi Mal'Ganis is a really good card against the mirror and sometimes is very usefull against the burst damage cuz' the immune thingy.
A good replace to this card would be Prince Taldaram you dont have any cost 3 card and u can get so much value using it with some cards like. This card will work like Faceless Manipulator
Voidlord
Carnivorous Cube (if u cubed something before)
Emperor Thaurissan
Doomguard
and maybe a Voidcaller (would be good if u need to put fast a demon in the field)
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If u dont have Taldaram i recommend Youthful Brewmaster WHY? cuz u can get insane value of this card for a lethal Doomguard or another N'Zoth, the Corruptor (INSANE THING AGAINST MIRROR)
Thanks dude! hope you enjoyed it <3
