Guide on Highlander Control Warlock
Part 1
Hello everyone This is a long-awaited review of my version of the Warlock Control archetype. First of all, I declare that the deck is author's, so I do not advise doing it for those who have little dust or cards for it.
Part 2
After a brief introduction, let's get down to the main part, namely mulligan and card replacements. Against aggro / mid decks, leave table sweeps and good early creatures to trade profitably. For Example, Scalerider. Against other decks, leave Mountain Giant or Bad Luck Albatross to break Combo decks.
You can replace Lord Godfrey with Twisting Nether, but this is not desirable. Now about the concept of this deck. It is very unusual and peculiar. The Warlock Control version with Plot Twist and Augmented Elekk was played after the release of the Rise of Shadows add-on. I really liked it, so I decided to try to revive it again.
In the comments, RAGEdarky noted that to use Zephrys the Great and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, you do not need to create a highlander version of the deck. But in the same place, UNICLOWN correctly noted that Zephrys the Great is needed here not only by the end of the game. After all, you can grab the table and kill your opponent on the seventh move by getting Bloodlust with Zephrys the Great.
Plans for the game vary depending on the opponents. Against aggro / mid opponents in the early game, defend and try to seize the initiative by the middle of the game. Against control / combo decks, try to grab the table from the start of the game and also grab the initiative.
Also, the comments asked a question about using Plot Twist and Augmented Elekk. Yes, UNICLOWN, you can guess correctly about the use of these cards. In a protracted game, resources will be important to you, so feel free to use Zephrys the Great and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza. Then use Plot Twist and Augmented Elekk to mix only the cards you need into the deck. This can be for example: Kronx Dragonhoof, Zilliax and Aranasi Broodmother.
This is basically all, write your reviews in the comments. And statistics for this deck will appear a little later…
how is it performing against Rogue or Dragon Huntr? Guess it struggles against Priest
What's a Highlender?
Its a deck with no duplicates

Oh, I thought it was called Highlander.
Something to note about zephyrs and dragon queen is they say in your deck... nothing about hand, so if you can target discard your lowest (Shriek) and highest cost card (Expired Merchant) you could get 2+ Zephrys and 3+ Dragonqueens in one game.
Also, because your running galakrond, Jumbo imp is viable because of all the imps that die. Not saying replace mountain giant, but am saying you could also add Jumbo imp and then play both mountain AND Jumbo imp in one turn.
Wouldn't recommend it, too slow against hunter and a bad matchup against rogues.
Running this list -Plot Twist, Hecklebot, Siphon Soul, Scalerider, Argus and elekk for+dragonmaw poacher,+twistedknowledge,+barista lynchen,+nether breath, Cult Master and Vulpera Scoundrel. 5-1 atm
Part 2: Changed barista for Fel Lord Betrugor more pressure, barista unnecessary greed,
I love the deck. Very fun to play. Beat glakaRouge and Resurrect priest. Yay
Tested in 3 games so far. It is not so good vs mages as some control. Not speaking of aggro.
Try my take on it :) beats mage no problem
Interesting deck/ How you use the plot-twist+Elk combo? Towards the end when you need more cards in the deck? Because it disables Zephyr and Alex otherwise.
You don't have to build a Highlander list to use Zephrys the Great and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza as a control Warlock.
if you want to activate Zephyr in the early game you kinda have to have a highlander list. I also think that the highlander decks are more fun and diverse in general.

Is a Twisted Nether an OK subsitute for Lord Godfrey?
Lord godfrey is better but obviously yes
