Is it okay to take out 2 Earthen Ring Farseer, and 2 Faceless Manipulator in favor of 2 Mixtress of Mixtures, 1 Lord Jaraxxus, and 1 Abyssal Enforcer?
Nice deck list. I wish that the next expansion gives more support to Handlock because Handlock as of right now gets overshadowed by Zoolock
Im adding more detailed info to the guide at a later date, just wanted to update you guys on the new list, aswell as the mulligans for it.
why the heck is the list including alexstrasza over jaraxxus especially with no molten giant not being affected by alezstrazsa?
Alexstrasza can be used to heal yourself, but can also be used to set the opponent down to 15 for the Leeroy Jenkins + PO + Faceless Manipulator combo
hey, is there an update coming or is handlock dead ): ?
I'd say handlock is not dead, but I would make some changes to this deck, like no ancient watcher is a big problem, and it hurts to not have a early game minion like dark peddler especially when zombie chow is not an option anymore. Also, stampeding kodo works wonders and is a great mix of removal and minion presence. Finally, I say you should include molten giant, try it out before you dislike this, it is actually still very strong when used correctly, and is a defining factor in zoo, midrange hunter and more,
Hey, could you do a list for Wild? Next Year TGT , BRM and LOE are rotating out and Warlock will lose a few more cards. I'd really like to see a list of how Handlock used to look like prior to WOG and compare. Handlock will never die in Wild and i think he is actualy stronger there. Could also do a secondary experimental list where you experiment where you try to improve wild handlock but you really need to standardise a list for both formats
And also, what variation of Handlock is your favourite?
I can try to whip something up for wild in my free time il definitely look into it.
What are your thoughts on Frost Giant instead of Molten?
No i think its a really bad idea, the purpose of molten giants was to punish fast decks, frost giants punish long games as you are required to tap numerous amount of times in order to get any type of value from them and in most games against aggro you sometimes arent even able to tap without risking death.
I say still use molten, try it, and it crushes zoolock and midrange hunter :D
What do you think of this list http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/568984-godbokis-handlock
Its quite similar to the list i have now so I assume its good. I will be revamping all of my guides soon and adding new ones that thrive in this meta.
Are you planning on updating the guide?
Yeah, im still looking for a somewhat good list, last season i got stuck at rank 1 with this deck. So its not too good. Hopefully I can develop one that can do better this season.
Are there replacements for 2x Faceless Shambler?
My next list may not have them so hold your dust for now.
i just crafted 2 of them :( feelsbadman
