Extremely effective Handlock deck! I have about a 70% win rate vs rush decks (Hunter, Mech Mage, Zoo & Paladin). With this deck I do even better against control (Warrior, Priest, Druid etc.)
Key Card Choices:
2 x Shadowflame & 1 x Hellfire: Good AoE removal, especially with so many hunters in this meta!
2 x Siphon Soul: I used to run 1, but this card has proven itself to be too useful! It gives you health back (good vs. Rush) & can take out big boys like Ragnaros!
1 x Defender of Argus: It's nice to taunt up minions like giants. I thought that 2 was too many because there were already 2 sunfury & 2 sludge belchers.
Big Game Hunter: Dr. Boom is everywhere...
2 x Antique Healbot: All you can eat buffet.. today's special is Face Hunter with a side of Mech Mage!
Harrison Jones: GvG gave many classes a lot of new weapons. At worst a 5/4 cowboy explorer with a whip! It's also very funny to use this vs Jaraxxus or a Doomhammer >;D
Dr. Boom: Op written all over it! Boom bots are great and the big 7/7 baits out BGH.
Ragnaros: You can replace this big boy with Alexstraza (I don't own her). Fire boy is a good card & Blizzard highly recommends you use him!
excluding ancient watchers doesnt weaken your game against aggro?
They're inconsistent because they require another card to be useful. You could use another hellfire if you need more power vs aggro.
is there anything to replace jaraxxus with that isnt alex?
Maybe another big guy who puts on pressure. Kel-Thuzad is always a nice go-to card if you're missing a legendary
I was always more of an arena guy. I play around 10ish and derank or go up in rank from there.
Never really thought of doing that. It could work but seems kind of situational.
