Peaked at 149 after escaping the dumpster
Greetings to all of you, I had a blast playing (and winning) with this version of Renolock we came with. Even with some small missplays it did its job and carried us out of the deep dumpster to top 200 in Wild Eu. I wish all of you a nice day and hope you have fun playing, cheers!
Strategy
1) Against aggro we want to dominate the board while clearing your opponents minions and healing back up to 30 with Reno Jackson
2) We out value our opponent with Brann Bronzebeard + Kazakus & Zola the Gorgon or giant resurrections with N'Zoth, the Corruptor & Bloodreaver Gul'dan
3) Destroying your opponents Combo/Win condition like Jade Idol , Archmage Antonidas & Kingsbane with Skulking Geist , Dirty Rat & Gnomeferatu
Flex Spots/Tech Choices
Tinkmaster Overspark - Big Priest and Cubelock are appearing more than I´d love to see them, this helps
Golakka Crawler - Eat those Pirate Warrior & Rogues Minions
Gluttonous Ooze - This and Gnomeferatu with a Brann Bronzebeard on board after a Myra's Unstable Element is just beautiful
Skulking Geist - Even though Druids are just 3% of my match ups in 500 games this is an auto win that also helps against Combo Priest & Kingsbane players + Cubelocks
Every Other Card - Feel free to test cards like Doomsayer , Shadowbolt , Mountain Giant , Shadowflame , Tar Creeper , Stonehill Defender , Glinda Crowskin , Baleful Banker , and this and that soooo many choices
If you got any questions I´ll answer them either in the comments down below or live on stream in more detail :)
Tinkmaster Overspark replacements?
I´d play Shadowbolt in the 3 mana slot for him. Effect is very unique though :/
You could also run a second weapon removal card; Acidic Swamp Ooze or Harrison Jones.
Cool deck.
Would love to play reno, but I never used to play wild so have dusted a lot of what goes in this.
I have around half of the stuff though so it's definitely a an archetype I'd like to start trying to collect the cards for.
best strategy is probably to buy from GvG or Old Gods really rather than get rotation sets until I have the dust. I may draw into Malganis or N'zoth as well.
Wish me luck. ha ha, should be done by around 2020 :D
As fun as Reno decks are they are soo expensive like 1/3 of the cards are legendaries which makes it hard for newer wild players to complete the deck. Good luck to you and BlessRNG for your packs :)
Any replacements for loatheb? I don’t play wild too often so I’m not willing to craft him yet
loatheb is a tier 1 wild card. if you were going to spend dust on anything for wild, it's a great contender of a tech card that shuts down stuff like psychic scream. (it's probably better in more aggressive decks I would have thought though, that's how I play the card at least)
have you had naxx already and dusted the cards? if you've not had the adventures it's best to just get those as they are worth it for the money, even if you don't use all the cards as they have a higher dust value than packs.
If you are F2P though you can't go wrong with loatheb. he's a staple in the best wild deck right now which is odd pirate.
you used to be able to buy adventures with gold, I don't know if you still can or not. I don't think so.
Perfect answer! Loatheb is just great in many decks. The other day I encountered Rogues 50%+ and substituted him for Acidic Swamp Ooze but against basically all other classes he is just great
I'm used to seeing applebaum in renolock, so I'm curious as to why you decided to run healbot over him?
I think it's really a difference between applebaum or sludge belcher. Most lists run 2 of 3 between belcher, applebaum or healbot. Brann + healbot usually wins games pretty easily against aggro matchups.
Pretty much what hiko said, Healbot + Brann Bronzebeard is like a second Reno Jackson in many cases. Besides that the immediate effect is often better than him Rotten Applebaum getting re-summoned by Nzoth later on. Silence in general & Sap is a card that mainly caused Healbot to be in here.
Fun fact Healbot is an Anagram for Loatheb, just rearrange the letters
Godfrey is awesome in this deck though, it's probably the best clear against sticky boards. Also, I believe you need more than one full board clear.
I play a similar version and what I can recommend as well is rin. She provides a timer for the opponent that this deck usually lacks
Going to test more variations of Renolock today, i´m still curious if Rin, Mountain giant and Shadowflame could be the go to version instead of what my list looks like atm
Can Zilliax replace Loatheb here? Or any better solution?
100% Loatheb is not really needed at the moment. I personally put in Acidic Swamp Ooze against all those Kingsbane Rogues
loatheb shuts down psychic scream though. I don't know about reno lock, but he's great in my odd rogue.
Replacement for Lord Godfrey and Mal'Ganis ?
+1!!!
Mal'Ganis is staple in Wild imo, but Godfrey not so much. Godfrey works like any boardclear so you can add another card that does that or a Brewmaster to take Kazakus back for another chace of sheep/aoe.
Those are hard, I would say an Abyssal Enforcer combines the Demon tribe and Board clear in 1 card as well as Shadow Bolt / Doomsayer forLord Godfrey
