J4ckiechan's amazing Warlock deck from SeatStory Cup V.
I think his deck was tailored towards the decks he expected to see at the competition. I like the addition of a Sylvanas to tailor it for the ladder.
are you serious?
How do these guys make such good decks... genius!!
The changes seem good to me. Takes out double Soulfire, Crazed Alchemist, and Emperor Thaurissan for double Shadow Bolt, Brann and Chillmaw. There are a ton of Brann targets in this deck, ranging from the early game to the later game, so he seems good. Shadow Bolt can be more freely used to control the board than Soulfire. Chillmaw and Alexstrasza seem like flex slots.
Soulfire is so much more flexible than Shadow Bolt, its better for tempo since you deal 4 damage for 1 mana. Yes you discard a card, but you can draw another one if you want. Then it becomes basically the same as shadow bolt, only -2 hp. And since warlock usually can maintain a big hand 1 discard from 8-7 cards won't mean much. Plus its really great to burst opponent down with Alex on turn 10. Chillmaw is just a wrong card for a deck like that. By turn 7 you most of the time will be in control or dead, and when you are in control its basically a dead card. Better stick another dragon that actually can be useful or a tech card like Xzirez did. But I was really happy to see Jackie bring this deck into the tournament, hopefully dragon warlock decks will become popular soon, because they have a lot of potential.
You make good points. I do like Brann in there though.
Yeah, I tried it, and Soulfire is REALLY good to have in there. It gives you a much better chance to find lethal when you need to. And if there's something with 5 health you really need to remove, Drake+Soulfire is a nice option (without needing 8 mana). Emperor seemed pretty good too. I guess I like Xzirez's list, but with Brann instead of Crazed Alchemist.
It really does seem like a strong list (the Soulfire version) against a lot of things. Control decks would seem to be the counter, but Soulfires seem to make that matchup better, because you can pressure more effectively when you have something to finish them off.
It seems like a nice alternative to Renolock.
