In the current meta, for warlock to survive,
Zoolock with 20+ 1-2 drops & Prison Imp is almost the only way,

other than highlander deck.
We have seen many of these decks,
from mistermath314, Unfa1thfull, Franzjack, and HearthPillow, etc.
With Nightshade Matron - Hand of Gul'dan combo,
it seems you can then fit 6-8 arbitary cards
that is not about zoolocking and still having fun with warlock.

If you study mistermath314's Gala-zoolock, you can see how this fitting is possible.
I believe this is almost the best and only formula to use for climbing in the season.
Anyway, this is E.V.I.L. enough.
:P~~~

===== About this deck =====

The Hand of Gul'danNightshade Matron combo is a very efficient mechanism,
which provide board presents + removal + card draw all at the same time !

Combined with zoolock survival and
the basic Summoning Portal cards,
you can now use 2-3 drops to do carpeting play,
and also
expanded warlock's access to a few high-mana key cards,
e.g. now 7-drop Arch-Villain Rafaam can be added to pair the Quest,
and the drawing mechanism is still stable enough to use.

By combining the Quest + Rafaam + Zoolock-style

the deck has common tools for early Zoolock fight,
and yet have some say in late game play with good legendary drops
to fight control and high-lander decks.
I am still testing at Gold Rank.

If more than 10 likes to this deck,
I would write more on Mulligan, playing and holding strategies, and switching cards .

 

 

Basic Winning Tips
===============
1. Begin with Prison Imp and smallish drops to Zoolock fight. 
2. Patiently wait for the combo. Do quest.
3. Shuffle stuff and finally Rafaam after quest.
