Handlock in this meta is OP , has good winning stats against every deck with the right mulligan. If you like my deck give +1 . Thank you :)
I run 2 x Healbot because its really good against aggro decks, to give you the right health and time to win. Also 2x Mortal Coil very good for clears with Hellfire or Shadowflame .
I dont play Siphon Soul cause its really late card . if you have it in your hand from the beggining its useless. Instead of this we have more minions so you have always something you can drop on board . Cause of this you can remove big minions easier with your minions and you dont need the Siphon Soul.
Mulligan Techniques:
Against Aggro Deck : search forHellfire , Mortal Coil [/card], [card]Healbot , Dark Bomb. You can also keep Molten Giantits perfect if your opponent plays face hunter.
Against Control Deck : search for Mountain Giant , Twilight Drake , Defender of Argus .
Changes :
After some thought and based on your comment i will try to use 1x Emperor Thaurissan instead of 2x Mortal Coil i think that is one good change and i will try it
You can replace Lord Jarraxus with Ragnaros the Firelord . Any other replacement its not worth it.
IF YOU LIKE MAGE DECKS , CHECK THIS DRAGON MAGE :
Are you kidding me ? i run 2 owls dude :/
ok maybe 1 siphon soul is good but what you replace to put it?
I agree. I tried dropping mortal coil and one healbot for shadowflame and siphon soul. I also switched one hell fire for another shadow flame because against mech mage hell fire really wasn't enough
Um.... this deck is getting destroyed out there. Midrange Hunter and Mech Mage just seem to be getting way to much tempo in those turns I have my finger up my butt tapping away. If I don't get Hellfire I get creamed and if I get Hellfire... I still get creamed. I've lost soooo many ranks since I've picked this up. I was doing much better with control warrior.
I'm not a fan of the Ancient Watcher + Ironbeak Owl + Hellfire package anymore, atleast for laddering.
I've switched to an Imp Gang Boss + Explosive Sheep + Demonwrath package. This gives you way more game versus aggro decks.

Interesting changes, though Demonfire targets all of your minions except the Gang Boss too.
Demonwrath costing 1 less and not causing self-damage is huge in the matchups you want it the most. Hitting a turn 2 Imp Gang Boss (with coin) followed up with a Demonwrath is also very swingy vs aggro.
yes but Demonwrath does not clear : Shredders or Grim Patron. Also the hellfire is better cause you can summon molten giant earlier, and clear the above minions wich is must in ladder. At the end hellfire with mortal coil easily removes a 4 health minion.
Wtf is this guy talking about, Alexstraza is the only viable replacement for jaraxxus. Personally i never crafted raxxus because i prefer alex, not weak to harrison, doesnt set your top health to 15 and you can use it vs opponents sometimes too, + an extra 8/8 body
And to that guy who said handlock is difficult to master especially the mulligans.... ha.It's one of the easiest decks to learn in hearthstone... VS aggro you want chow, board clears, taunt and owl vs scientist decks vs control you want the tempo breaking tappy turn ~4 big boys
if you cant get good at handlock, in the last few days meta then just find a different game. Also worth saying testing in casual is like having no test at all, casual is useless for meta testing.
I lost 5 games in a row last night with Handlock (a few minor card variations). Mech Shaman obliterated me, a patron warrior got off a Warsong combo, and a tempo priest just removed everything with SWD/BGH. I am still new to handlock, so can't say the deck is bad, but it does require a new level of skill and mulligan knowledge that I haven't achieved yet.
Just a warning to new handlock players....it is a steep and brutal learning curve. Don't expect great results until you have put in a hefty amount of games and mastered mulligans for the meta.
Sadly this was in casual as I practice with this deck.
At the beginning of a season, casual is going to be much much harder than ranked (assuming you are a competitive player)
I don't think it's overpowered, but it is definetely good in current meta when u see grim warrior and demon zoolock everywhere but face hunter and mech/freeze mage is still not favorable for this deck. Also I dont think Ragnaros the Firelord can replace Lord Jarraxus, the only card that can replace him is Alexstrasza
You really shouldn't play Handlock without at least 1, if not 2 Siphon Soul in a meta game defined by Lord Thaurissan, if you ever let that Dwarf stay on board for another turn you've lost the game.
I Disagree. He's almost he only target u'll find for syphon soul (bgh deals better with boom and sylvanas shadowflame can be kept to deal with tirion). It's too unlikely ur syphon soul will find a good target.
If the meta keep slowing down, syphon soul could become a legit choice again.
Meh, that's only true in the Face Hunter ranks, once you reach rank 5+ to legend I think you'll run into other aggro decks where Siphon Soul is at least decent as removal vs pesky shit like Flamewaker, not playing at least 1 is REALLY asking to lose vs anything that drops Emperor on a clear board.
Hi Sevasmos, may I ask what is your current rank with this deck for this season?
Idk why people dont play Alex over jaraxxus..... its super common to have 15+ dmg sitting on the board late game with your opponent at 20+ life. all you have to do is drop alex and win. Its how i win half of my games.
I feel you. However I find Lord Jaraxxus better in handlockdecks due to the efficiency of his powers
However if you went dragonlock it's the other way around :)
what do you think of playing the combo with faceless, power overwhelming and arcane golem. only just started playing again recently and not to sure what the meta is like apart from a lot of face hunter
Also you dont have any earthern ring farseerer's?
