Greeetings, my name is Bond, GamesBond. A seasoned (and exclusive!) Handlock player of recently acquired legendary status! I love and play Handlock for its sheer power and deep tactics.
1. The Goal:
This is a variation on Handlock that will attempt to counter the agressive format which is likely the new "Mech-Meta" when Goblins vs Gnomes is released, while also being even more effective against Midrange and Control decks. When the hype-dust settles, we look to our old favourites and make them better.
2. The Concept (Oh sweet tweaks!):
- The concept is to get more healing, something the Warlock class has always struggled with. How do we accomplish this? Antique Healbot heals for 8, almost triple that of Earthen Ring Farseer. No longer will we narrowly perish to that last Kill Command or Soulfire!
- "However, Earthen Ring Farseer also heals my minions!" True, and this is where Recombobulator comes in. It will turn damaged Molten Giants into fresh ones and damaged Mountain Giants into either healthy ones, or Clockwork Giants.
- Thirdly, we've switched out Soulfire for Darkbomb. The new mana cost of Soulfire makes the random card discard extra painful for Handlock players (even though we enjoy the occasional pain and torment!)
- Four. A new addition has been made! We have replaced Ancient Watcher with Ogre Brute. A solid turn 3 play that can sometimes attack past taunts. He does not require activation by silence, and makes for a great Shadowflame target at 4 attack! (Thanks to Xaiur, a most wise Warlock!)
Have fun, and Inferno!!

Recombobulator card writeup! (Pray to RNGesus!)
|5 mana target| Antique Healbot or damaged Sludge Belcher
- Best case! Earth Elemental, Doomguard, Floating Watcher, or a brand new Sludge Belcher.
- Worst case! Stormpike Commando, Bolvar Fordragon, Starving Buzzard.
|4 mana target| Defender of Argus or damaged Twilight Drake
- Best case! Mechanical Yeti, Water Elemental, Pit Lord.
- Worst case! Gnomish Inventor, Twilight Drake, Dragonling Mechanic.
|12 mana target| Damaged Mountain Giant
- Two options, all good! Clockwork Giant, fresh Mountain Giant.
|20 mana target| Damaged Molten Giant
- Automatic reset to full health! Molten Giant.
|6 mana target| As per popular request, Inferno!
- Best case! Cairne Bloodhoof, Sylvanas Windrunner (give her the Shadowflames!), Piloted Sky Golem, Sunwalker.
- Worst case! Kidnapper, Mogor the Ogre (But wait... isn't that hilarious?), Priestess of Elune.
Update, December 7th: Trump emailed me that he liked the idea :D
Then, in action !
Update, December 11th: LiquidSavjs getting a clutch Legend 6 win with a slightly conservative version of the deck !
Welcome back friend, soon tm
I think after last patch this just died
well, obviously this deck will only work in wild, but I think you can change out 2 Ogre Brute for 2 piloted shredder because they are easier to use,, 2 molten giant for Baron geddon and Ragnaros the Firelord since they are both big creatures too, and have a great effect. You can also use The Black Knight for the recombobulater combos. I would take out siphon so, as this is also big removal. In fact, another unmentioned recombobulator combo is with Piloted sky golem! maybe you take out one argus, and if you really want two, you can also take out sludge belcher.
This is a complicated answer, but these are just my two cents, you can follow the ideas if you wish :D
mulligan?
any chance you can make a new mechhandlock plz?
Fun deck.
Hmm I think Millhouse Manastorm would also be a good addition, just remove Lord Jaraxxus
Millhouse has great synergy with Magma Rager, which can really give you the edge in the late game.
It also hard counters freeze mages.
This deck sucks you dont heve een early game play whit this deck.This deck is to slow i heve playd 5 games en 5losses!
Then you dont really know how to play handlock. You look for giants, drakes, ogre (maybe recombobulator) and then tap-tap.
If you want to play leper gnome on turn 1, then you should look up face-hunturd or secret retardadin.
Sylvannas is important/great addition in many decks, Mal Ghanis only works in some specific warlock decks. Acidmaw is pritty neat, Cenarius isnt used much, but Hemmet is pritty safe to disenchant.
Btw there are many variations of handlock styled decks that doesnt utilize Mal Ghanis, while Sylvcannas+Shadow flame is a game winning play in many situations.
anyway for sneeds old shredder in this deck?
Downvoting every single post this guy makes plus his deck just for spamming every single Warlock page with his ad.
we need tgt update plz
Can I replace Sludge Belcher with something else?
Muahaha Just got my Golden lock just now. Finally 500 freaking wins. What do I want 500 wins on next hmmmm....
Alright, I used Recombobulator on a silenced Sludge Belcher and it gave me a Fel Reaver, i lost 9 cards for that...
Is this deck still viable after the TGT expansion.
I was wondering the same thing, but but I don't want to know if it is just viable, I am more interested if it is legend worth?
Handlock is still played all through Legend.
What can i replace the Recombobulators x2 with ? i dont have them......Thanks for the deck....
