Hi guys. I reached legend rank in 4 days with this handlock deck. Its very similar to Lifecoach handlock but Im using Jarraxus instead of Sylvanas. My score with this deck is 53/25 win/lose (from rank 9 to legend but i was playing a few games with rogue). You can see my ride from rank 2 into legend in my pastbroadcasts here: http://www.twitch.tv/bloodlips/b/632632035 . Also i invite everyone to my stream http://www.twitch.tv/bloodlips :)
Edit: I also reached top 5 with it and now i have 62/27 w/l
Edit: And even top 2 :)
I've been running Handlock ever since I've played seriously. I've hit 12 at best and have 500 wins, so I'd like to think I have a decent understanding of Handlock, but can't even get past 18 this season. What gives, what am I doing wrong?
Impossible to tell without more information, but one thing I always see pros in tournaments do differently than how I would play their turns is they always tap more often than I would. If you can't get past 12 you're probably not understanding some crucial (I'm wanting to say basic instead of crucial but it sounds condescending..) ideas that apply to all decks, because you should really be able to get to 7 or 8 with even gimmick decks.
Could be the meta. Could be your deck needs updating. Who knows. I have found tapping too much vs certain matches gets you punished. I.e, mage, hunter.
Firsts days of the new season is always bad to play with handlock.Unless you tech your list to be tottaly anti aggro
-2 Ancient Watcher, +2 Ogre Brute
-1 Antique Healbot, +1 Siphon Soul
Never take out Ancient Watcher for Brute. NEVER.
Ancient Watcher is MVP
Handlock is tenacious and will never fade
Took out zombie chow for sylvanis works perfectly
Great deck, good job and congrats on legendary
Write the mulligan guide pls!
ty very much.
Edit: 1-9 in my first 10 games, can you make a guide to this please? I want to learn this deck I just have no idea what I'm doing.
Depends where you're playing this deck on the ladder. Im assuming you're playing around 20-12. Around these areas on ladder the decks you face are really inconsistent and usually ends up with having bad matches on your end, you have to start playing this deck around 8 to find it affect too climb with.
Also in these areas of the ladder where there lots of aggro decks, you're going to have the worst time. Trying to tap to get cards to do anything is difficult when you're at 10 health by turn 6.
Don't expect to climb very far with handlock, its still fairly weak in the meta right now, awesome deck though, and if you know how to play it you can do very well with it
I'll just play cancer to climb high then handlock if i get higher, thanks for the input! :)
This is the problem with hearthstone...
Can rag be replaced with alexstrasa?
There is no sylvanas.
He does it your way he dies 3 turns earlier. He would have taken 7 damage minimum that turn dropping him to 18. Then plays giant then takes at minimum another 7 damage dropping to 11 (probably alot more since the mage still has his turn 3 and 4 to flood the board thanks to mech warper). He can kill the 9/9 with fireball and one other minion. He only needs to have done 11 damage over turns 3, 4 and 5. Which he could have easily done. Or at the very least would have left him so low that all it would have taken was a frost bolt. He got unlucky by not getting any of his moltens or hellfires. If he had gotten one of his moltens your play might have been correct. You can't let a rush deck like mage and hunter spend 5 turns smacking your face and hope to win.
If you are seeing nothing but mages and hunters don't play Handlock. They have too much over the top damage.
I'd rather remove the zombie chow to add Sylvanas what u think?
it depends what you meet, your deck will be better against control, but worse against rush, a deck shouldn't be static, change to what you meet
