DISCLAMER: THIS DECK WAS MADE FOR HAVING FUN AND NOT FOR REACHING LEGEND
As a Warlock main I got bored of using the only two viable Warlock decks in standard (Curse of Agony and Tamsin's Phylactery OTK decks) so i decided to make a standard Renolock.
This deck should always beat ramp Druid and performs well with a good draw against aggro Demon Hunter, pirate Warrior and both mech Paladin and Mage. Against control Warrior you will need to ensure that you pair Ambassador Faelin with Brann Bronzebeard to keep up with their custom deck of treasures. You should also try and use Mutanus the Devourer to eat their Kazakusan.
You will lose 9/10 times against quest hunter. The only times i've beaten quest Hunter with this deck have been when i have managed to use Zola the Gorgon on Reno Jackson and also drawn and played Spice Bread Baker and Alexstrasza the Life-Binder to heal up.
With mulligans always keep Reno Jackson and when playing agaisnt aggro decks keep all the low cost anti-aggro spells. When playing against Demon Hunter or Paladin keep Rustrot Viper because of Dreadprison Glaive and The Immovable Object. Also Queen Azshara is always nice to keep in your starting hand.
I am going attempt to use this deck to push from Diamond 5 to Legendary. This will be extremely difficult as in the current meta as the only decks you can really get legend with are the tier 1 decks everyone else will be using (none of which are Warlock).
EDIT: I took out Bloodmage Thalnos for Smothering Starfish to add some extra control and to help with removing the buffed minions played by Paladin.
It's just a ridiculous deck... no time bro
How will Reno work if Tamsin mixes the same cards with a battle cry and an ability?
It can mess you up, but Tamsin is just too good of a card to leave out of this deck as she works for both removal and drawing cards (and gives you 5 armour). You just need to ensure that you have drawn 2 of the rifts she created before playing Reno or simply play her after you've used Reno.
which legends are replaceable and any suggestions on how to replace them?
The only three legendaries that are replaceable are Anetheron, Queen Azshara and Lord Jaraxxus. I would replace them with Mo'arg Forgefiend, Abominable Lieutenant and Naga Giant. Also you could consider using Kazakusan alongside two other dragons such as Twilight Drake, Azure Drake, Amglam of the Deep and Onyxian Warder.
Funny to see renolock back in standard after so long!
Worth running the card that draws 3 murlocs to get gigafin or findley when needed?
Yeah definitely, I use that combination in my wild renolock deck I got legend with.
Gotta say this is way too slow and pretty awful in standard, but good effort! Maybe after some nerfs...
Yeah I’ve given up trying to get legend with it, this deck is just really for having fun at the higher ranks.
Any replacement ideas for anetheron? Dont really feel like crafting him just for this, but love the deck idea
I’d use Mo'arg Forgefiend
Happy to see players who have the same problems with the meta as me!
I climbed to diamond 5 using quest priest but I like warlock more and will try your deck for legend.
Yeah the standard meta is awful at the moment, especially for warlock mains.
