This deck works. Top Decks come and go but overall I love the consistency of this deck. I wouldn´t say that I´m a good player, mediocre at best, but this deck carried us from ~300 (the very bottom on EU) to Top 100 -> Top 50 and eventually into Top 25 with a 73% win rate. After that humble flex let´s get into the guide. Video will follow later today
We do have the advantage of having more cards than our opponent at any given point which allows us to play 3 Mana Mountain Giants & 4 Mana 4/10 Twilight Drake on curve. With Faceless Shambler we got two more gigantic minions for a low cost that even have taunt to protect us from all those Rogues & Paladins. If our Life Total goes down Molten Giant becomes easier to play and sometimes two of those with a Sunfury Protector & a Defile before wins you the game on the spot! Shamans have a hard time as a Molten Giant with taunt can´t get devolved and a Mountain Giant becomes a Snowfury Giant. Against any aggressive deck we have 2x Defile 2x Hellfire & 2x Spellstone as well as 2x Cheaty Anklebiter to help us out. Combo Decks lose to Mojomaster Zihi and Ragnaros the Firelord throws giant Fireballs! So in short this deck got everything, even Silence with 2x Spellbreaker
I thought this gotta be a joke at first but damn I was wrong. This guy makes Defile way easier to set up, heals you when not removed, activates your Lesser Amythist Spellstone & can even target your opponents face for that 1 dmg & heal you need for lethal (which did happen vs. Mill Rogue Pog)
While it serves the same purpose as Dirty Rat and Demonic ProjectCard Name this guy is soo good against Big Priest, OTK Mage/Druid and even slows down other Warlock decks, especially Mecha'thun
A big boi that does some damage and can ignore taunts. He alone won us a few games hust by believing in RNG and its Hearthstone after all so you better start believing and praising Rag
No Wrathguard
While it is a perfect card against Big Priest it felt like it just kills us faster and not in a good way. Cheaty Anklebiter was a way better addition to this deck and can also activate our Lesser Amythist Spellstone without killing us (also more versatile)
The thing is in wild Guldan is just too slow to be played. A 10 mana card that just sticks in your hand until it could revive 4x Demons that aren´t Vodlord or Mal'Ganis is just not good enough
For all the Epic and Legendary Cards that might be too expensive to craft, especially now before the next Rotation here are the cards I would choose in their spot. I assume that you own Genn Greymane and would consider using 40/100 Dust to craft the missing Common/Rares
This was the last card I crafted when building this deck as there are other 4 drops that might be better for the meta you face. Usually this becomes either a Mountain Giant or a Twilight Drake and can also help with Defile as a 4 Mana 1/1. I would use another Shroom Brewer & Wrathguard to help the early game
This card alone wins you the match ups vs any combo deck so Dirty Rat would make the most sense as it has the same effect in a different way. You could also include a Demonic Project and hope for the best
We want at least one giant minion that is not dependent on our hand size or life total so The Lich King would make sense in this spot. Even Bonemare would do the job in a similar fashion while it still depends on us having a minion on board
2x Mountain Giant & 2x Molten Giant
Those are the main reason we play this deck but maybe a giant-less version could work as well? I can´t imagine it but what if we add Shadowflame and Sylvanas Windrunner as well as N'Zoth, the Corruptor + Baleful Banker to make it more late game heavy? In general all the cards would still be epic or legendary as they are the core essence of this style of deck
All the Cards you can consider adding to this deck:
Demonic Project, Dirty Rat, Wrathguard, Shadowflame, Siphon Soul, Sylvanas Windrunner, Bonemare. The Lich King, Bloodreaver Gul'dan
If we get the coin or go first only matters when it comes down to when you can play the Mountain Giant. When going second we can Life Tap twice to play Mountain Giant on Turn 3 while it would be a Turn 4 when going first. In general we always want to have either Defile or Hellfire (or both) and a Molten Giant when we face aggro which at the moment means: Rogue, Paladin, Hunter. Keeping a Lesser Amethyst Spellstone alongside Darkbomb is also correct as we just need to survive the early game. Our go to minions are Mountain Giant, Twilight Drake & Faceless Shambler when you got any of the before mentioned already. If you know for sure that the opponents win condition relies on a combo it is correct to hold on to Mojomaster Zihi
If you need any assistance with plays on a certain turn or situation, mulligan in a match up or generally just want to see & know something please consider asking your question for anything regarding this deck down below or asking me during my streams which can be found with schedule down below. Don´t forget to upvote this guide as a single +1 makes a big difference, thanks!
I just created a hearthpwn account to post this comment. I love this deck. I got to legend very quickly using using the mecha'thun warlock deck you posted, but it seemed every other legend deck hard-countered me once I got there, and I dropped from rank 10 to rank 100. Finally I started using this deck no matter who I thought I was up against, and I climbed back up to rank 9. Even against supposed "counters" like big priest and kingsbane rogue, this deck can pull out a win sometimes. Also, Mojomaster alone wins some games. Thanks for sharing this, Mecha'thun warlock, and secret/Aluneth priest, those are 3 of my favorites!
Congrats!
Awesome write-up/guide. Thanks!
Glad you like it!
What do you think about using Rin to improve the matchup with it's extra pressure against big priest and other control decks
It feels like Rin would be a nice card that I have yet to try out in this deck, not sure how it will be though. Let me test that the next time I stream and get back to you
Used this deck to climb out of the wild dumbster the last 2 days (from 19 or 20 to 13 I think)
I am 13-0 Right now ^^
Seems to work Pretty good in the low ranks at least
And I used 1 Rat instead of Zihi, but only becouse I dont have the Card. Mojo is prob a bit better Overall.

Pretty fun to play, nice deck :)
Congrats!
I'm wondering how you even made it to rank 5 since, I kid you not, have been playing against Saps, Vanishes, Naturalizes, and fking Coldlight Oracles for seven games in a row.
Well 7 games out of 100+ isn´t that much is it?
I dunno. mill rogue beat me pretty hard with saps and vanish, then lost to super aggro odd rogue and aggro warlock.
what is this deck good vs?
Well certainly not the 2 counters. Mostly Paladin, Aggro & basically any deck besides Mill & Big Priest
lich king isn't neccary in this deck?
Nope
Gonna say that it's almost a basic Evenlock deck, but with few changes. I play the similar deck, but with Wrathguard and The Lich King. About winrate - well, yeah, big priests are really bad for this deck, but still, my winrate is around 60%. Pretty neat in ranks 15-5.
Sounds good! Im never sure if Lich King would just make you overdraw too much or represents value that is not needed but I might give him another shot
Have you thought of sucking less?
Big Priest -> concede
Big priest-> concede
Big Priest-> concede
Deleted deck
Unplayable on eu
Hit the Legend with this deck on EU 21 March :)
(Check comment #13)
This deck is much more than playable. Yes, Big Priest is bad matchup and so what? Every single deck have a bad matchup. Especially in polarized wild meta. If you facinng a lot of Barns on 4 Priests so pick up Oil Rogue in deal with it))
Thats like saying:
Monday: It rains
Tuesday: It rains
Wednesday: It rains
--> Cant even go outside on this continent anymore its always raining. Like no shit you have a bad time when you queue into Big Priest who would have thought. I personally would just go for Mechathun as its decent when they dont get barnes on 4 OR you join the dark, cancerous side of big priest and use their tactics
