Hello there,
sick of this no control deck meta, after last nerfs to the seed, decided to experiment. I did always love handlock/big demon lock, so i tried few versions of these decks. This is first one.
Didn't try it much, yet. !BUT!, if you manage to survive at least to turn number 8, and you play archwitch, who does expect board like this, who does have such removal this meta?
Handlock got some great tools this xpac, such isDark Alley Pact, Spice Bread Baker, Goldshire Gnoll, Entitled Customer or Anetheron.
This version im trying to add Cascading Disaster and Y'Shaarj. I can imagine better version without these two, i mean, there is no time in this meta to corrupt tickatus and play Y'Shaarj with Tickatus so i will definietly change this, also Disaster could be swapped for Hysteria or Siphon Soul, it has even better synergi with Tamsin. Y'Shaarj himself can be replaced with, let's say, Envoy Rustwix? Or maybe another control/heal tool.
I will post WR % (decktracker) after few games, i will also change the deck (removing Y'Shaarj and Disaster).
If you, people, want, i might do mulligan/first steps guide.
Now, let's do some testing!
1. EDIT:
-Y'Shaarj, -2xCascading Disaster
+Envoy Rustwix, +2xSiphon Soul
2. EDIT:
Rustwix is kinda too slow, this deck is slow enough even without him for this meta.
Deck is garbage and beats pretty much nothing but it's fun to Troll. This xpac is probably the worst we've ever seen, everyone just kills you with their hand anyway and not the board so it's pretty much just a broken xpac with do nothing Blizzard Nerfs! Just the usual!
Deck going well on plat 5 - plat 1. I didn't have time to grind diamond this month.
Maybe cut Viper or Jaraxxus for Mutanus? Since quest mage is again on high roll?
This deck is terrible
For sure, if you have no skill, feel sorry for you. Just kidding, its not deck you can play in meta. Any kind of handlock is unplayable in compare to most of meta decks. Read description next time, thanks!
This deck works at Diamond 7-4.
I haven't tried it elsewhere. Yet.
Nice to hear, bro!
Hi
i play a control deck with archwitch since the beginning of the month and I’ve been through the same choices as you.
Y’Shaarj is too slow, Ruswick is too slow, I even removed Tickatus and Jaraxxus…but I use deck of chaos, n’zoth and a few cards that combo with both.
it kinda works. I reached diamond 3.
the quest decks (warlock, mage, shaman) are a big challenge even after last nerf.
Yeah man, it feels like meta didnt change a bit even after all these nerfs. I wonder if control decks will make it back.
what is a replacement for Archwitch Willow ? its the only one i am missing , but i suppose is a key card
Hello, yeah, in this deck its core card. If you want, there are some versions without Archwitch, but its just handlock. I doubt there is some big demon version which doesnt include archwitch. Check out for some handlock decks tho!
Looks interesting
So you keep a full hand, does it work out in this fast meta so far?
i dont feel good about Archwitch Willow If you have Tick in Hand it could pull him without effect or even pull it from deck.
Is it just about tempo and board threat in that case and is it good enough then or do you always make sure to play a corrupted Tick - and then go for witch?
Thanks in advance :)
Hello,
it does work, not saying its meta breaking deck, its just off meta idea, but if you re lucky enough, yeah it works. Depends a lot vs who you play, but mostly you want full hand because of Anetheron, Gnoll or Pact. A lot of healing can sustain you after clearing board.
Tickatus, especialy in this meta, is too slow to corrupt (vs most decks) and doesnt have big impact. You will use him just versus few decks, such is OTK DH, maybe even Questline Mage, in case they drew most of the deck and you want to get rid of Ignite.
As i mentioned, its not meta deck, you wont push ranks fast, but it is possible, reaching D5 at last. Sadly dont have a lot of time, tbh, played just couple of games. Maybe more editing required, we will see.
Do you think Deck of Chaos fits in here somehow? Can go crazy with spells after Tamsin costs 1 - every big boi costs so much less - if u say Tick doesnt need to be corrupted, but still could be via Jaraxxus .I mean yes its slow like Rustwix but maybe dont use it and play the Deck like intended before.
Maybe cut Viper for it?
Hey, deck of chaos is cool idea, if you change some cards, ill try to check it and make a new version later.
