Hello!
Today I did some ranking with the new rank system and to my surprise i did pretty well.
I made a real monster here, able to counter most of the decks on wild ladder right now.
I only lost to murloc paladin, who turn 5 OTKed me and a secret mage because i didn't draw any early-game cards.
I'll do a detailed writeup if i get 25 upvotes. I'm also going to upload some ladder videos later on.
Since it is a wild deck, mulligan guide will be a "long story short"
*edit: I'm now 19-2, which is 90% winrate and still climbing

Gameplay 1: (yea, i'm aware of my misplays ;) )
Gameplay 2:
So up to now i reached diamond 5 and 2 stars with this deck only. Overall, i think the deck is decent, i went 24-6 so 80% winrate, lost only to hyper aggresive decks because i didn't have any answers in the early-game. Some statistics:
Last game i won, but got disconnected. I also have replays from games I've played, so if anyone is interested - pm me.
*edit 2: Hey, i'm glad that you like the deck. I know many of you struggle against certain deck types such as aggro, but remember to tech against it. The point is this list is universal, tech choices depend on what do you face - no pun intended :)
I'm still experimenting with the deck, i will make a list of possible changes soon. I also listen to the community, to impreve the decklist and therefore below is a list of possible changes to try out.
Tech choices:
!remember to choose your tech depending on the meta you face!
Kezan Mystic - steal your opponent's secret, works well with brann
Skull of the Man'ari - replacement for Krul, if you don't want to play all demons from your hand
Gnomeferatu, Demonic Project - nice addition to the deck, disabling combo decks
Dark Pact - to activate voidcaller when needed, comes with additional heal effect
Demonwrath, Corruption, Dark Skies, Hellfire, Shadowflame - aoe effects
Zola the Gorgon - replacement for Youthful Brewmaster
Loatheb, Unseen Saboteur- seal quest mages and other type of spell-based decks
Rin, the First Disciple - tech for longer games
Boompistol Bully - good tech against rogues
Great deck, any subs for Lord Godfrey and Krul please?
ive swapped out Doomsayer aswell as brann and umbra and put in soulwarden and felstalker & nightshade matron for some greedy value :)
isn't it shorter to write p2w lock than your current title?
80% win at level 273 I guess....
Nice deck and great results. But you were just lucky facing decks that you can actually beat. I play in the chinese server (probably the same in other servers as well) where EVERYONE (95% of my opponents) plays a meta deck. Which are quest mage, secret mage, razakus priest, mech paladin, cubelock or the dark bargain lock. IMO Regularly facing these six decks is going to give you a 30% winrate max.
how do you compete vs quest mage?
nice deck
I don't have Umbra or Krul, what can i replace with, ideas? Thanks
Skull of the Man'ari is a good substitute for Krul the Unshackled. Umbra I find is really clutch sometimes, but you can probably replace her with a Escaped Manasaber
thank you very much!
I wish this kind of deck was playable in current Wild meta, but at least from my experience it's not fast enought and you get fucked by stupid combo decks / quest mages...
Well as far as I'm concerned, the current meta is actually pretty midrange. You can pull off something like Aluneth secret mage, but also this kind of Handlock. Reno actually saves the day here. I am using a very similiar tactic in standard, where I am playing highlander Pally with Nozari. Whether it would be Nozari or Reno they always tend to save you from aggro decks. (However Reno is much better 😅)
How can this deck defeat aggro decks ? Half of the cards costs more than 5 mana. In that replay vs Even Shaman he only won because his opponent decided to give him a perfect defile scenario.
aggro, dead, aggro, dead, every deck I face seems to be a no brain aggro deck. Lose, lose, lose every time
The sad truth is that even tough i want to believe this deck to be good i can't see it. Reno Lock without specific tech vs the current meta consisting of quest reno mage or quest tempo mage, both sill being S tier decks, gets preyed upon by these decks. Your only hope is not to be matched against them. Even unnerfed raza priest is an easy win for those mage decks.
Cube lock with albatross would do a lot better against them since it's more consistent and faster then the highlander variant. Can you do well with reno lock ? Yes in a vacuum where you encounter almost no mages. Loatheb and unseen saboteur being absent from this list is a big mistake in my book.
Pretty much this. Even the best decks in a truly competitive environment get maybe a 55% to 60% winrate against the field. 80-90% implies more that you have a soft field for whatever reason, rather than a genuine reflection of how the deck does in a competitive metagame.
The highest ranked warlock deck on HSReplay (which gathers a lot of stats so is somewhat reliable) has a 62% winrate - though their winrate against mage is basically 50-50, which is problematic given that mage seems to clearly be the best deck in the wild meta. That warlock deck does include Reno - but isn't highlander, and is actually a Mechathun deck. Second highest warlock deck with a 59% winrate is Cubelock.
In fact, if you check out Tempostorm's Renolock deck - which has a lot of similarities to this one - it's tier 3 and rank 16th for decks. That's not to say that the deck is actually bad - it hit rank 1 legend, so it can definitely win plenty of games - just that an 80 or 90% winrate isn't an accurate representation of how the deck would perform in a varied competitive environment for the average person.
Solid deck man. Played it from Gold 5 to Plat 5 and it was a lot of fun! The only thing I didn't find too useful was Plague of Flames and Eater of Secrets (didn't face a lot of mages). I don't plan to swap them out yet, but I may later on as I ladder higher.
Update: made it to Diamond 10 today. Quest mage is basically an instant concede match up. Highlander priest is extremely hard to win if they get Raza off. Otherwise, a solid deck.
Lol useless deck. If it was that great you would see in ladder.
Besides, it's not that difficult to manipulate Hearthstone Deck Tracker's data and cherry pick winning videos
tell me how is it useless as some people have success with it? And i really don't know how can you manipulate hdt data. I usually don't record videos of playing my games.
This deck sucks vs quest frost mage
