INTRODUCTION

Hi guys, this is my new Shudderwock combo deck. Climbing in rank 5 with this deck.

General Strategy

Just like the old Shudderwock combo you win by going infinite with Shudderwock, Grumble, Worldshaker, Lifedrinker and the Doppelgangster. The twist is that you only play one of cards, in order to activate Zephrys the Great and Reno Jackson. This makes the deck more versatile and control oriented.

Since its a Reno Jackson deck there are a lot of replacement that can be made, outside the core cards. For example the deck could be made more greedy and slower with Dragonqueen Alexstrasza or more controlling with more removals/taunts or you could add tech if you face a specific deck a lot. 

Customize the deck so it fits what you are facing, that's the true power of a Reno deck.

This is the best balance i found after some testing.

In depth strategy
First of all I'm happy people like the deck and i would like to say that this control deck is hard to play. Almost every game is different and so is your approach to it. 

1. You can win by having the full Shudderwock combo with all components.
2. You can win by having Shudderwock, Doppelgangster and either Grumble, Worldshaker,  Zola the gorgon or Baleful banker.
3. You can win by Dirty Rat and the above combo to disrupt combo decks. 
4. You can win by grinding out your opponents with Hagatha the Witch.

which strategy you choose depends on the opponent and their deck. Against aggro you definitely don't need the combo so sometimes you can tempo Shudderwock to create a board.

Hagatha the Witch is a decent tool against aggro decks, or to stabilize if your too far behind, sometimes it sits in your hand and you purposely never play it. The card is in the deck for its flexibility. Its also good to go Hagatha the Witch before you complete the quest so can keep your quest hero power. With Hagatha the Witch in your Shudderwock pool you can clear boards and also make sure yours don't die due to the Twilight Drake. 

Devolve, Plague of Murlocs and Hex is in the deck to counter mechs, bíg priests, deathrattle cards, Cubelock etc. And also Plague of murlocs + any board clear takes care of any board.

Faceless Corruptor is in the deck to fight for board in the mid game. It can also combo with Fencing Coach a turn before for a turn 5 double 4-4 with no board due to the free totem. 

Replacements

The core cards are Shudderwock, Doppelgangster, Grumble, Worldshaker and Lifedrinker. The rest can technically be replaced.

Tech cards:
Loatheb if you face many mages.
Barista Lynchen for more value
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza for more greed. 
Secret eaterto counter secret mages
Acidic Swamp Ooze for weapon countering

Minor comboes

Primary target for Zola the Gorgon and Baleful Banker is the Doppelgangster, Grumble, Worldshaker or Shudderwock - especially if a combo card is in the bottom of the deck and you feel you might have to yolo Shudderwock and hope it reshuffles. 

secondary targets are more value or against aggro, copy Reno Jackson. 

Quest Hero power + Dirty Rat + Plague of Murlocs to destroy combo decks.

If you Quest Hero power + Baleful Banker you shut down your Reno Jackson and Zephrys the Great, so dont do that. 

Acolyte of Pain  + Volcano = 3 card draws and board clear.
