Hello everyone!

This is my take on Quest warlock in Scholomance Academy with the integration of someSoul Fragment cards to ramp up the speed of the quest completion, as well as add some more healing to the deck. 

I would like to highlight my friend Kadakk, who took the time to make a gameplay video for you guys, please check out his channel and subscribe!

Why Soul Fragments?


The Fragment package has extreme synergy, as well as nysergy (The English opposite of synergy) with the Quest. Shuffling additional cards that when drawn, draw you another card counts as 2 cards for the quest, reducing the reliance onPlot Twist to finish the quest as quickly as possible. However, after the quest is completed the fragments can be quite annoying as it is possible to draw them with your upgraded hero power, causing the next card you draw to not be discounted. This package  basically increases your survability against faster decks but hinders your combo consistency against control decks. Because the Fragments will be essentially seen as a weakerAranasi Broodmother when drawn, I decided to add two Void Drinker to the deck instead of the traditional Abyssal Summoner. This change was made mainly because of the mana flexibility the card offers for usually the same effect. 

I do expect to see a lot more aggressive and midrange decks this upcoming expansion and have really stacked the deck with removals! The new cardSchool Spirits is going to be especially good against Demonhunters, because of the prevalence of 2 health minions.Soul Shear is going to be very effective at dealing with those 3 health minions in the meta likeBonechewer Brawler andFrozen Shadoweaver. AndDark Skies is just Dark skies...nuff said.

Since you do not want to be drawing yourSoul Fragment(s) after quest completion, I have addedLorekeeper Polkelt to the deck as a very powerful tool to shuffle your highest cost cards to the top of the deck and hero power right after to guarantee aMalygos,Sathrovarr, orAlexstrasza for zero mana!! 

The differentiating factor of this deck is when you have 3 9 cost cards so your upgraded hero power will discount 2 of those cards to 0 mana. Meaning you can playMalygos plusSathrovarr for 9 mana for plus 10 spell damage and just murder the opponent. Before I see comments of “your burn goes to the bottom” theSathrovarr play means you shuffle aMalygos into your deck, this breaking theLorekeeper Polkelt ordering of the cards!!

Card replacements: 

  • Spirit Jailercan be easily swapped out forMo'arg Artificer for the extra punch with your early game aoe orNether Breath healing. I omitted the card because with the inclusion of soul fragments, it isn’t really mandatory.
  • Keli'dan the Breaker is a really strong card in any Plot Twist deck so it’s a hard one to replace. However, the new Brittlebone Destroyer works similar to playing Kelidan for spot removal.
  • The 2 9 cost dragons are mandatory and the core of this deck. If you are missing these, I would suggest heading over to my Midrange DemonLock guide!
