This deck is a new handlock I made.
I started playing this deck at rank 400 and for now i made it to top 50 :
Update: I reached top 10, by swapping harrisson for 1 molten
Here is a french video about this deck
Mulligan: Always keep Doomsayer Twilight Drake
With coin: Dark Peddler, Mountain Giant, Hellfire against aggro, Mortal Coil against druid, warlock , and hunter.
Without coin: Mortal Coil against aggro
Some people asked about Brann Bronzebeard it's another healcard, or it can be used to make 4/15 Twilight Drake
Molten Giant seems weird after the nerf, it's a tech card against zoo and dragon warrior.
I'm currently trying -Molten Giant -Alexstrasza +Ragnaros the Firelord +Shadow Bolt. Both versions are descent, choose the one you prefer.
-Molten + Ragnaros ?
I probably will go for bgh :) Last thing, what do you think about thijs choices? http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/598560-legend-thijss-handlock
What do you mean by this deck doesn't work against aggro? It's not easy but this deck has tons of early cards especially for aggro decks. 2x Mortal Coil, 2x Doomsayer 2x Dark Peddler 2x Hellfire - perfect cards for stalling the game. As soon as you stall it push for heavy taunts and heal yourself. Of course if your opponent has good hand, your face will be smacked but still you have good chances to win the game.
I like "Old School" Warlock. My changes:
2x Dark Peddler ---> 2x Shadow Bolt (Best Target - Totem 2mana 3-4,Imp 3mana 2-4)
2x Doomsayer---> 2x Ancient Watcher (Best Shadowflame target)
1xPower Overwhelming ---> 1x Acidic Swamp Ooze(Doomhammer)---> 1x Big Game Hunter(Best target - Shaman 4mana 7-7, Dragon 6mana 9-9)
i replace the molten giant with Twisted Nether
Smooth climbing with this deck so far. I had to make some adjustments due to missing cards.
-1 Faceless Shambler, +1 Evil Heckler = I only had one Shambler, so a equal 4 cost 5/4 Taunt from Evil Heckler fits w/o having to rely on another minion to get decent value.
-1 Molten Giant, +1 Soggoth the Slitherer = DE'd all my Molten Giants after the changes. Soggoth, while a 9 cost, really screws up Mage/Priest/Shammies with easy removal spells and helps clear up some mobs in a pinch. You can also heal him with your Earthen Ringseers if your own health pool is fine.
Evil Heckler also offers that 5 attack that goes well with Shadowflame clear.
One of the clunkiest decks I have ever played. Old Miracle Rogue level of clunkiness. I mean for everything to go right you need too much of "IFs", but when it actually works it's damn impressive.
To everyone who is saying "lol no way its a top deck" please understand that this is META NICHE deck to play against specific decks. Cruising with this deck through aggro shamans, zoo and other bullshit is not that easy.
I honestly want to switch something for Eerie Statue for taunt/shambler/shadowflame combos.
Yes, you definitely need second argus then, but then you would like more stats and minions and... that would be a totally different deck :)
dude you will discover a card with dark peddler. it wont change . but you will have 2-2 on board
oh . yeah that's right. i didnt think tap on turn 2
amazing.. I just faced something very similar before, had some weird tricks. I'm not used to facing good locks that aren't zoo though, was not prepared for it at all.
I kind of feel like you missed the part where he said, "Top 10." I'm a little confused why you would even criticize the strength of this deck at that point.
100% with you here. It can be top 10 or anything (there are excepcional players who can bring milk out of a stone), but isn't as close as strong it was. There is no reason for not playing Reno over this.
I goofed around with this deck and really enjoyed it. Faceless Shambler is a really cool addition to handlock. Since I DE'd my Molten Giants, I decided to add one Ancient Watcher back in as it's good with Shadowflame and taunts.
How is a BGH anti-aggro aside from Flamewreathed Faceless? There are three taunt-givers in this deck that you can use with ancient watcher so having one doesn't seem too bad. Besides, like I said you can use it in conjunction with Shadowflame as well. Ooze seems like a decent pick and Cult Apothecary could actually work if you combo'd it with Shadowflame or Hellfire.
Ahh that makes sense. And I like your suggestion. I'll have to see what works best.
Will you make a full guide for it?
Oh okay, thanks for the reply! Doing good with it so far 4-0, really awesome deck but i am not 100% sure that I am playing it right because i didn't play warlock in quite some time, so it would be amazing if you made the guide :D
luv this deck
