Lord Jaraxxus is back!
Finally a good control deck for warlock in SOU.
I played this on rank 4 for 15 games with a 67% WR
Hunter, Mage and Warrior are a good matchup
Quest Paladin and Quest Druid are a semi good matchup
Sinister Deal, EVIL Cable Rat, Heropower, Mortal Coil and maybe EVIL Genius on turn 1-3.
turn 4 Mountain Giant, Twilight Drake or EVIL Recruiter with Lackey (maybe on turn 3 with coin)
Omega Agent at turn 10+
Lord Jaraxxus and Dark Pharaoh Tekahn always when possible. This two are the MVP against control decks like warrior.
Try it out!
EDIT post Nerf
I change 3 cards. The community suggest some nice ideas. I tried them out the last days and it performs really well.
- 1x Lord Jaraxxus -> very sad about this but Zephrys the Great...
-1x Spellbreaker
-1x Siphon Soul
+1x Barista Lynchen -> with Omega Agent or 4/4 Lackeys very nice and Zephrys the Great is no longer a problem
+2x Khartut Defender -> since mage is not a problem anymore, you don't need so many single target removals
thanks to Khristophesaurus Dinosaurus (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnMDWZOpZX4LdOZbzbozffw) he made a video about my deck:
Thanks a lot for sharing this list, I'm having a blast so far climing from Rank 10-6 with a ~62% winrate (22-13).
I changed some of the cards back and forth, most notably the second copy of Voodoo Doll didn't make the cut for me. I guess it was good pre-nerf vs. Luna's Pocket Galaxy to deal with the big minions. Currently I'm testing the following changes:
- 1x Mortal Coil, - 1x Voodoo Doll, + 2x Earthen Ring Farseer, +1 Infested Goblin or +1 Mind Control Tech, +/- 1x Khartut Defender
Every matchup except Quest Shaman feels winable, which just runs over you in terms of tempo and value. If anyone has any advice on that matchup, I'd happily hear you out. So far I've been able to beat the following decks pretty consistently: Bomb Warrior, Reno Mage, Murloc Shaman, Murloc Paladin, Quest Paladin, Reno Hunter, Quest Rogue and Combo Priest.
CONGRATS on this! Having a blast playin it! :)
Wow, this deck is pretty awesome. I thought of playing Sunfury Protector in here or maybe Glinda Crowskin (to make lackeyes even more stronger) Arch-Villaian Rafaam to make it powerfull, but I am not sure what cards to remove for it. Thx for this deck
thanks! i think Sunfury Protector can be a choice. maybe for SN1P-SN4P. The two legendaries are not good in this deck, i guess. because of the aggro decks in the meta right now
Currently at a 62% winrate at ranks 4-2, I've been looking for a great Warlock deck and this feels like the one. The high roll EVIL Recruiter really carries this deck. The lackey package works awesome with Dark Pharaoh Tekahn, was weary crafting the card for the deck but its totally worth it, the tempo advantage is insane for all matchups while a little slow to play initially.
I made some replacements and they've been working wonders:
-1 Siphon Soul With the double Voodoo Dolls 4 single removals felt a bit much. For the mage match ups 4 single removals could be useful but I've found you usually win by turn 10 or so before they're effective.
-1 Lord Jaraxxus Too weak against Zephrys the Great decks for how frequently you play against them.
-1 Spellbreaker One silence is usually enough, frees up a slot for Khartut Defender.
+1 Barista Lynchen Plays a similar role as Lord Jaraxxus by acting a value generator for control matchups. However Barista Lynchen provides a bit more flexibility in that it can be utilised late game with Omega Agent, but also midgame with the Lackey synergy in the deck. Really solidifies Dark Pharaoh Tekahn's spot in the deck.
+2 Khartut Defender This card is so good in this deck. As well as providing a double taunt minion in one card, the 6 heal it provides has been fundamental to the decks success. If you fizzle out from a great early game, the card acts as a cushion to allow you to recover and set up other game plans.
All in all, thanks for sharing this list, its fucking awesome. Having so much fun with it so far, it's brought me to my highest rank at 2 and I'm going to try to take it legend.
thanks for your support and suggestions. I tried them out and its really nice!
Awesome deck!!! Seriously unexpected how this performs. VERY FUN.
Agreed, but I would say that because Lord Jaraxxus is so rarely in any deck and that it is played late game, I guess Zephrys would most of the time have been played already by the time you need Jaraxxus?
Exact same list as I've been playing, except for Lord Jaraxxus. I included Barista Lynchen for some proper reload against Warrior, to be used in conjunction with Omega Agent in the same turn.
LOW HP IS A BIG PROBLEM
maybe you try the updated list. thanks for your feedback.
Beat highlander mage and it felt so dang good!
Looks pretty good. Maybe Barista Lynchen for Lord Jaraxxus? Would work well with Omega Agent and your other Battlecry cards.
With Zephrys the Great being played all over the place, you might want to reconsider Lord Jaraxxus. Might find yourself on the wrong end of a Sacrificial Pact.
Exactly. As long as Zephriys is meta (and he will be until rotation 2021) Jaraxxus looses you the game instantly.
You just don't play him until they've played Zeprhys?
Look nice ;) I'm looking to try it (sick of warriors and mages) but unfortunatly I'm missing few cards :/ Any replacement for: Lord Godfrey, Voodoo Doll × 2 and Siamat ?
Exactly same missing pieces for me but I am afraid those a pretty key
