Proof:
Mulligan: Handlock has literally no Mulligan, it differs in every matchup by a lot.
Hunter: mortal coil, darkbomb, farseer, owl, molten
Mage: owl, darkbomb, farseer, hellfire
Grim Warrior: darkbomb, ancient watcher, owl, sunfury, twilight drake, hellfire
Warlock: you always want to mulligan for zoo so, darkbomb, watcher, owl, mortal coil, hellfire, farseer
Priest: mountain giant, twilight drake, owl, dark bomb
Oil rog: mountain giant, twilight drake, farseer, healbot
Druid: mountain giant, twilight drake, ancient watcher, owl
Paladin: twilight drake, farseer, hellfire, dark bomb
General playstyle:
With coin: T1 pass -> T2 life tap -> T3 farseer, ancient watcher, darkbomb, owl -> T4 mountain giant, twilight drake
Without coin: T1 pass -> T2 life tap -> T3 life tap -> T4 mountain giant, twilight drake
Basic Principles:
Do not overdraw.
Tap first.
Molten giant before Jaraxxus, but dont be too greedy.
Coin + Mountain giant.
Use your Farseers to heal your minions
Life tap is love. Life tap is life.
Without coin: T1 pass -> T2 life tap -> T3 life tap -> T4 mountain giant, twilight drake
but face hunter will kill you in T5 most likely...
I don't have Ragnaros the Firelord can I replace it with Mal'Ganis
Thats the mulligan vs control decks and the strategy to play the giants and drakes. He already explained the mulligan for aggro decks. u can replace ragnaros with sylvanas, loatheb or de boom if u have them. Malganis doesnt fit in handlock unless u play a hybrid deck with voidcallers instead of mountain giants like strifecro demon handlock, if not them malganis has not place in the handlock deck.
Thanks for your reply. Sorry that I'm new to this.
No problem chief im glad i helped :)
Any good replacements for Ragnaros the Firelord? Maybe Sylvanas?
Sylvanas and dr boom are better.
None. Jaraxxus cant be replaced. some people say alextrasza is a good substitute and some people say she is better than jaraxxus but she is not. Save the dust and craft jaraxxus if u want to make a competitive handlock. Alextrasza can only heal u back to 15 or lower ur oponent to 15 and give u a 8/8 body which is a sweet target to bgh next turn. She is a super expensive giant thats it. on the other hand jaraxxus is a unique minion, replaces guldan with him give u a 3/8 weapon and the new hero power is op, 6/6 infernals for only 2 mana and not vulnerable to bgh Which can be taunted for protection and shadowflamed for clearing the board Or simply for putting a solid body on board for only 2 mana
Yeah man, the effect of alex plus the 8/8 body cant compare with all the power that jaraxxus offers you in the long control matchup. Even against priest which struggle dealing damage u can play jaraxxus on turn 9 without even dropping molten giants before and win the match because the cant fight the constant spawning of infernals each turn plus other the minions. Alex is just a snack for priest with shadow world: death lol well whoever downvoted me dowsnt know anything about handlock lol :)
I didn't copy your deck but I did follow your mulligan guide and it has helped me so much man. Thanks and keep up the great work. I do want to ask why don't you play dr boom?
makes sense thanks for the reply. I might try him out
Nice deck, heal seems very useful against aggro decks. Can you add mulligan vs shaman?
Just pray to get Darkbomb for that Whirling Zap-o-matic or Mechwarper
Vs shaman mulligan for dark bombs, hellfire, molten giants, keep watcher if u have the owl. Never mulligan for drakes since they are vulnerable to earth shock, and dont waste ur hellfore on crappy totems, save it for other stronger minions.
