Introduction
Thanks guys for the support of the first deck I've made.
I've been looking forward to making a dragon deck for a while now and after trying with a few classes i decided to go with warlock because drawing cards means we're more likely to be able to take advantage of the dragon synergy. I've have been playing this deck since the start of season 14 and on the second day of the season am rank 6 on EU.
Deck Breakdown
The deck combines the stability of Handlock along with the strength of dragons and dragon synergies.
One of the big game changers of this deck is the Blackwing technician. played as a 3/5 this card kills the first half of a piloted shredder and survives, something which no other 3 drop can do. The decks early game can be altered depending on the meta. Right now i have kept the decklist relatively neutral.
Additional point: A lot of people are complaining about aggro, and rightly so, this deck is weak against face hunter and aggro spell mage. if this is the case make some changes to the deck. This deck is not set in stone, even i have changed a few things to try out too, i have only provided an alternative class in which dragons and dragon synergy can be incorporated. i have not played an insane amount of games with this deck so a lot of the results are still due to variance.
I will update this as i continue playing with this deck.
Well, after testing the deck for some days, i must admit it is just a question of favour. I played with Jaraxxus first and after some games with alex and i think they are not the main focus of the deck, just some backups for healing or super lategame.
Sometimes the Jaraxxus-Weapon can get you the lethal, if you are some points off, which can help. But in general, you don't really need the 6/6s because the deck is itself packed with strong minions and a good curve.
Against some other heavy control Alex might be a bit better for offensive "healing" and against aggro you're getting up to 15hp from both and you have an instant impact on the board.
Seems like a nice concept, been playing classic handlock for 2 weeks with great succes. I'm willing to try this. Also i don't think face hunter is a hard matchup if you keep moltens and taunts makers in your mulligan, its a faceroll.
Upvoted.
Nice deck! I have been playing a very similar list and I find 2 Antique Healbots to be more effective especially versus aggro. Replaced Defender of Argus for the Antique Healbot since you already have 2 Sunfury Protectors.
Wow. It's a really good deck. Thank you )) But why u change Ancient Watcher for Darkbomb?
Clerics are not needed to deal right away, and in mage matchup you will not win if you darkbomb a mana wyrm. You need to mulligan hard for hellfire and moltens.
Jaraxxus? Since it's a DRAGON deck I gonna trade it with Alex.
Been toying with dragon lock a lot and this looks similar except i used volcanic drake. clearing with shadow flame(i use 2 copies) and then free volcanic is pretty strong play and more times then non it leads to wins.
Great deck and its great to see more innovate decks with the BRM release!
You can't play Handlock without Mountain Giant, it's a core card.
I really do not understand how this deck got soo many likes, its really weak vs almost everything and the fact he said''15-1'' is a LIE, i've got 2-10 with this crappy deck after i've changed some things got 2 wins
This deck is just terrible. Even usual Handlock would be better
Are we really calling this "Dragonlock"? I hardly think so. It's just handlock, but you swapped out some of the good cards with not-as-good dragon-related ones. Minus Chromaggus, that is. And why even have an Ancient Watcher? Why not another dragon so it can actually have more synergy, or a second Defender of Argus?
How this has over 30 up-votes is beyond me. I feel like people don't even really play-test decks anymore before voting. You don't even maximize on Blackwing Corruptor, which is most certainly one of the best cards for dragon decks right now since it can one-shot Grim Patrons, the most prominent deck in legend.
Edit: I want to see someone using this deck in higher-up legend ranks and winning more than 50% of their games over a longer period of time.
I extremely doubt this deck beats Grim Patron. Commanding Shout + Warsong combo would blow whatever you have on the field away.
i try this deck, loose the first 2 games against Hunters and delete it...i prefer the old Handlock!
I have the same issue, so far lost about 11 games in a row to either Face or Dragon Priests, first just obliterate you through minions and priests just steal your cards and remove your entire board constantly, you have very few removals, so constant board control is only possible if you get a perfect run of card draw. Your 17-1 seems a little bit more like luck than this deck actually being good. I basically had to run Sunfury Protector, Zombie Chow, Defender of Argus, to even have a chance at beating zoo, mage, hunter. Mage being the hardest cause they just remove your minions like they are not there.
Why not alex instead of jaraxxus
0/10 to much originality -IGN.com

woo boy, that corruptor doing work. i might need to double up on those guys.
Do I play handlock with dragon synergy in mind?
