Introduction:

Hello, I am Thornstaff, a legend player from EU. I used to be stuck in rank five, because of all the rushers in current Meta. Few days ago, I managed to make the climb, from rank 5 to legend top 100 using this deck.

Deckidea:

i decided to call it, SoulLock due to all of the souls it managed to consume. When I made the climb, I was on a huge winning streak, due to very careful play against rushers, and very greedy against control The idea behind this deck was to make a deck able to counter rushers and still have very good win condition against control decks so i decided to make a handlock which in i removed some of the late game minions such as ragnaros sylvanas etc to make it fast enough to beat dem rushers

Tech Choices?

Soulfire:

even though soulfire is a very good 0 mana removal i prefer mortal coil and unstable ghoul because of there's so many minions in current meta with 1 hp which soulfire in most cases will only give u a huge tempoloss vs aggro

Unstable ghoul

This card is my personally favorite against hunter especially. This card won me a lot of time, when they drop their low cost deathrattles (loot hoarder + leper gnome), huffer, spectral spiders etc and in worst case it tanks 3 dmg, and it is also a good card to drop against control warrior, to avoid their grommash to face. It can be bad against warriors if used incorrectly, due to the armorsmith and acolyte but if you play it, when you have an answer to armorsmith, or acolyte then it’s a solid card that might take removal, or help board clear.

Acidic swamp ooze

It is very good, due to its versatility. Being able to destroy the hunter weapon, it can delay or prevent the deathbite grommash combo, so he cannot deal 14 dmg to face in one round. It is also able to remove Jaraxxus Erador lord of the burning legions weapon. It’s also a solid body, to fight for the early game board control, versus aggro..

Zombie Chow

This is arguable the best answer to turn one undertaker, this combined with mortal coil, will usually guarantee a dead undertaker for minimal cost, and still enabling turn 4 mountain giant if you go second. It can also put pressure on the board against control and midrange decks.

Strategy behind this deck:

Rushers:

Vs rushers u will always try go for board, in order to prevent the enemy from killing you. You often try to make it to molten giant taunt wall, or jaraxxus. In this situation zombie chow, unstable ghoul, ooze is a very good slowdown. U should only tap if u feel like it won't kill you. Remember the more cards in your hand, the more opportunities, cheaper mountain giants, stronger twilight drakes etc. Cards like ancient watcher, is always a good card to play, because of shadowflame taunt up and silence.

Control:

 

More to be added!!!!
