Howdy!

I wanted to share with you a deck that I've been using this season against all the crazy bullcrap you face in ranked nowadays.

The deck is very simple yet capable of climbing all the way to diamond 5 (potentially to legend) with a high winrate since it has only one heavily unfavoured matchup that is not so common nowadays. 

The deck has some unfavored matchups but the most common decks like quest warlock, hunter have hard times going against this. Quest warlock especially has a hard time completing their questline.

The deck is super easy to play discard zoo that tries to overwhelm an enemy player and dish out damage as early as possible. 

The general gameplay is all the same against all decks. Cheat out a big amount of small minions through discarding your cards or playing 0 mana 1/1's and buff them with your Grim Rally or Wicked Whispers after that, you are trying to kill your opponent before they can gain board control back.

 

Mulligan stays usually the same as well:

Kobold Librarian , Malchezaar's Imp , Boneweb Egg , Expired Merchant , Hand of Gul'dan

Animated Broomstick is worth keeping against token druid or all pirate decks.

Wicked Whispers can be kept if you can discard Boneweb Egg with it.

Card replacements:

There is not much that can be replaced without slowing the deck down, therefore making the deck worse.

 

You can use Target Dummy instead of Murloc Tinyfin against more aggro-y decks with tons of minions (shadow priests and pirate warriors). adding a second Animated Broomstick instead of one Ritual of Doom is an option too.

I might add some matchup tips if enough people will be interested.

I'll give you a tip for free. If you face a secret mage, you can already concede, the matchup is very luck heavy and very unfavourable for you. One board clear and you won't be able to maintain the tempo and lose the board.

Post warlock quest update:

Cutelock is still in a good position even after the nerfs, the worst matchup you can face is still secret mage (which runs an ice block now to make your life a living hell.......)

The pirate warrior matchup is also kinda bad right now, you gotta get some lucky discards to keep up the tempo.

other decks have even or favorable matchup for you.
