Hey Everyone, I've been playing Hearthstone for years but this is the first time I'm posting a deck here on hrthpwn.
I'm a Warlock main player and was bummed after warlock decks got nerfed multiple times since it was tier 1 at the start on ashes meta. After countless experiments I have finally fine tuned a deck that got me to Legend faster than any deck I have ever used before.
Combining Lackeys with Galakrond is just so much FUN!
DECK STRATEGY
Plays generally like other zoo-gala locks except the fact that lackeys especially with tekahn and erkh give you multiple win conditions against more control-ly decks out there.
Against Control (Gala rogue, Spell druid, Gala priest, highlander mage) : Haven't lost to a control deck yet. Hard mulligan for scrap-imp and play him asap with coin or on turn 2 if youre going first. Tap on turn 2/3 . Save Erkh and at least one lackey or lackey generator till you get Tekahn on the board. Erkh and six 4/4 Lackeys that generate you big dragons and spells that give you more win conditions against control decks. Kronx gives you another win condition. The best part of this deck is that your biggest card is Galakrond at 7 mana! This makes your deck very consistent and you wont be stuck with a hand full of unplayable heavy cards at the mulligan while still generating more value than most control decks!
Againt Tempo Demon hunter : SLIGHTLY unfavoured match-up for us but not by much. If they draw perfectly from mulligan they can be a bit hard to beat. But we still have come back mechanics with plague of flames and magic carpet. Do not hard mulligan for scramp-imp this time, it's too slow. Instead mulligan for 1 drops and play tempo zoo style. If you end up with scramp imp in your hand after mulligan anyway just play him on 2 after your 1 drop and do not tap on turn 3 for value, just play tempo. I have found this strategy much better againt tempo DH.
Please be free to ask me any questions in the comments, will try my best to help everyone and best of luck on your legend climb!
why do you name your deck "Easy legend" without posting a proof?
Like I said ...it's my first time posting a deck here on hrthpwn and i've been trying to post a screenshot of my legend win but for the life of me can;t figure out how/ maybe you can help me? Point taken on the 'easy legend' title, it's too clickbaity. But frankly I did reach legend faster than I ever have. Maybe its variance and i didn't as many counter decks? Maybe.
You need to upload an image to the imgur website. The fastest way to find the needed page is to type in google “imgur upload” and use the first link. After uploading you need to right click on image and choose “copy image/picture of whatever it is called on your OS”, you do not choose copy link/code etc., just copy the image. And after that you just go to your deck, skip to the description field and paste it. Waiting on the picture ^_^
Thanks! posted.
You just earned one more upvote to your deck for being a man of your word.
Much worse than control Galakrond warlock, sorry.
well I don't think so...but that's just my opinion.
Any good advice vs face hunter
Kill them first ;)
any replacements for Erkh ????
erkh is our main win condition against grindy control decks. There is no perfect replacement... maybe try zephrys? But he;s gonna be clunky and unusable for most of the game. Maybe cable rat?
Not sure i'm buying it. The deck is "meh" at best, it's a grindy deck, sure you might get legend one day, maybe. At diamond 5 - 1 it loses a consistently to DH, highland rogue, and gal rogue. The problem with all of these quick stated boards is they just lose to any high rolls and clears. Gal is horribly inconsistent and you often end up with dormant demons, Gal never once won a game for me. If anything he caused me to lose more than anything since i had depended on value from him i never got. I dont like the gal package at all. It's pretty useless. In the mirror match up the gal deck running the dragon package almost always wins. I maintained a 60% WR, sure its a positive WR, but not anything special. Plenty of other more fun decks out there with comparable win rate. Sure, maybe i just low rolled, but it was a 30+ game sample size (HDT Broke for some reason, so idk exact numbers), and i'm not gonna play a meh deck more than that.
That being said, i think if you removed the Gal package for a dragon package for more control of the board early game, and sustain but maintain the lackey package as i think that is producing the most wins (at-least in my case) then maybe we got something.
Never claimed its a favourite against DH, but then again no decks are. Don't know how you're losing to gal rogue though unless they high roll, I've been consistently farming gal rogues with this deck. There's way too much board fills they just can't deal with.
Played another 20 games with it, and it's performing worse and worse. It's way too inconsistent. I've never seen a deck be so bad, and so good at the same time. Usually decks with that big of a scope variance are just not good for climbing unless RNG is on your side. Only thing consistent is the lacky package, period. All the tempo cards have value IF you get scrap imp early, without it, mid to late scrap with a hand full of 1 drops force you either to give up the hand buffs for tempo or PoF clear or completely lose out on that stat creep. I just don't see it. It's not a bad deck per say, just an okay climbing deck.
Replacement for Veiled worshipper?
I want to try this deck but spending 800 dust on crafting this card twice is a bit much...
ooh...sorry but no. Veiled worshipper is what makes gal warlock any good. Drawing 3 cards on a 5/4 body for 4 cant be replaced.
Awesome deck! I love it. I dont have dark pharao Tekahn, but thats not a core card imo. I put an Evil Recruiter in for early game pressure and more a bit more pressure. Works great!
I mean, its cool that you are having fun, without him. But I would definitely disagree with you about it not being core. Its sort of one of the main win conditons of the deck. Not to mention that, without him, it feels like you might just be better off playing normal galazoo or somethin.... But to each their own I suppose. I'm curious how/why you feel that Evil Recruiter is more pressure than Tekahn... I mean, i could see him being a possible budget replacement for Erkh, but seems less than ideal over Tekahn. Honestly, my dumbass would probably just run twisted knowledge instead.... Atleast theres a chance there to get tekahn, or extra scrap imps, etc. Might be worth a try. Just an unsolicited suggestion. gl hf
Loving the deck! The synergies are awesome and it shows warlock some love that desperately needed it! Kudos for some amazing crafting.
