Edit:
The deck is having quite a lot of success, here and in the competitiveHS subreddit!
Some people are also experiencing very bad loss streaks, so instead of telling them to git gud, I decided to record some random matchups. I'd like to do some more (maybe against pala, mage and lock) with live commentary, check video info for further informations.
Why you should play the deck:
Take a moment to also appreciate the nice curve coin Fel Lord into double corrupted Tickatus.
About me:
I'm Italian, I play since beta and got to legend pretty every month with offmeta decks (reno priest with double shadowform, very hybrid hunter, miracle shaman etc) and won some local tournaments (I actually won a bo3 final with a Moorabi keleseth spell shaman).
If you know Chump or do you like to brainstorm troll decks feel free to add me in game. (IGN: Vigormortis#2439)
The Deck:
Shootout to my multiple-legend friend Froppino which helped me build the deck, his ability to find niche spots for fun decks like this when the meta is so stale still amazes me after years <3
TL:DR; Look for mana scam, duplicate your shit, GG
This deck is 10/10 fun. The most retarded factor in this deck is the mana cheat with The Dark Portal and Free Admission, IE you are able to play Ring Matron on turn 3 consistently, or multiple fat demons by turn 5 (personal record: played 3 corrupted 9-9 Tickatus by turn 5) with Felosophy.
The deck performs well against aggro, Man'ari Mosher is an awesome healing tool. You can combo it with Enslaved Fel Lord's cleave for juicy 21 hp heal or with cheaper minions on the board in faster matchups (the underrated Imp Swarm and Ring Matron bois will help do the job).
Yes, you winally found a deck where Archwitch Willow (as your only non-demon minion) is beyond amazing.
Matchups from Dsomething to Legend:
Legend proof is recorded on video, will upload the gameplay after +10 upvotes
I've see improvement in paladin/warlock matchups with -1 Twisting Nether -1 Hellfire/School Spirits for +1 Unstable Felbolt +1 Cascading Disaster, those with Mortal Coil are very flexible spots.
Mulligan:
Now it's even being tracked by HSreplay.net.
Idk why is people keeping Felbolt. 2% is actually keeping 7+ demons, even more Rustwix o.O
Baseline it's hard toss for Dem Studies and Free Adm.
Dark Portal is 90% keep, ofc always on coin. Felosophy is keepable with portal, very strong with coin. You can think about tossing portal against hyper aggro if you already have a Free Admission and any 1-2 mana spell.
Keepable (it's kinda always worth to look just for mana scam, I usually keep only if I already have at least one of the above):
Mosher or Drain Soul against aggro if on coin;
Hysteria vs paladin;
MC if deck has t1 1-1 plays;
Imps vs druid;
Imp Swarm if already have studies and Free Adm is usually nuts; In slow matchups lways keep a t2 play with coin and Admission, as you can't tap on t2 without overdrawing.
Keeping Tickatus/Willow/Jaraxxus against warlock and priest I don't think is a mistake but you are cutting your chances for a funnier game for sure.
Deck difficulty: 7/10.
Most turns seem pretty straightforward but 2 to 3 turn of planning ahead truly makes the difference.
It's also the reason why people are having bad results with this deck on lower ranks, and no less than 50% in high legend.
Let me know how this works out for you in the comments below.
100% Lossrate in Low Legend =) Dunno how you guys manage to pilot that deck but literally everything is wayyyyy too slow.
I'll upload a video with comm when I'll have time :)
I tried some more games and made some changes. One card that really sticks out to ruin a lot of plays is Manari Mosher. Feels bad to draw him discounted and often is too cheap to safeley use Felosophy and you also dont want to duplicate him. And pullint it with Archwitch also sucks...dunno why this card is in the deck :)
Have found the moshers very useful in the deck.. buff your fel lord with the mosher and smash 3 of you opponent’s minions at once, takes your health up from rock bottom to topped up and your opponents jaw drops to the floor.. you guys just need to pilot the deck right. Buff the moshers with felosophy to top up your health with any of your other minions.. often swings the game away from the opponent
@ZuorDarth this.
I would add that it still has a decent body (very common t2 play on most matchups), and it forces opponent to clear your board every turn (to not get the heal. You can also play a t4 tempo Tickatus vs fast decks and never be punished), which is kinda hard to do since this deck is registered in ValueTown
Legend? This deck gets murdered in gold.
65% in over 100 games, with climb to legend and first games with shitty builds. If I would answer in the same way you posted, I think it would be GIT GUD. But I won't.
I'll upload a video with comm in a week or two
Please do, I’m loving the deck so far. I play only casual and only for fun
Archwitch Willow is the only no demon crtit and may dissable discount mana cost from Free Admission which is BAD IDEA...
Over 90 games on the pool and I still think it's one of the strongest cards in the deck. Drawing willow is insane from portal, usually just 15% from admission
I Don't have Archwitch Willow so I switched it for Kanrethad Ebonlocke and am loving this deck.
Dude I tried this deck (with a few adjustments) and my first game I got exactly Dark Portal on 4 into Archwitch Willow + Ring Matron + Enhanched Dreadlord on turn 5 like you showed in the screenshot! No Imp Swarm though, took that out of the deck haha.
lol! What did you put in instead?
I took out Felbolt, Imp Swarm and Manari Mosher and put in Soul Shear, School Spirits and another Cascading Disaster.
I think pulling Manari Mosher with Willow would feel pretty bad, and I prefer the Soul Shear and School Spirits for the removal and healing.
nice idea, I suppose you will struggle a little more on the late game, but let me know how that works out for you!
Got a question. This deck is going to cost me around 5k dust to craft. Is it in your opinion worth to use this dust? And is archwich really worth to craft?
It depends, I play since beta as f2p, but 5k can be a lot. But all the cards you craft are gonna stay in standard for a while.
If your aim is just to get legend as fast as you can, then the answer is no. If you wanna have a solid fun deck (that imho is just going to be stronger in future expansions), definitely yes.
If you have to craft both Willow and Rustwix and you deckbuild a lot, probably not (the deckbuilding regarding these cards is really restrictive). All other crafts feel fine.
If you are new it will take some time to understand well the deck. But after that, wr is definitely worth (currently over 65% in 80 games)
Thank you for the reply! Need to craft tickatus and willow so i probably Will do so. I Will Let you know how i like the deck!
Dude... I just tried this deck and first attempt pulled a double corrupted tickatus on turn 6. This is absolutely bonkers! Thank you!! xDDDDD
Just run normal control warlock it'll beat this more than half the time
