Hey guys!
Zananananan here, I'm a german Hearthstone player and I'm currently playing for http://www.sfd-gaming.com/. I just wanted to share my Discardlock with you. I played Patron Warrior on the first day to hit rank 4. On the 2nd day the last Karazhan wing came out. I built this deck and hit Legend with it.

Guide:
This deck is usually favored against other Aggro decks, you want to trade as much as possible. Go face against Midrange or Control decks. The key is to realize when you have to go all in and when you can afford to play around AOE.
Let's talk about the placement first. Most of the time it doesn't matter, but it can still win or lose you some games. You always want to maximize the efficiency of Dire Wolf Alpha.
- In general you want big minions, minions with deathrattle or taunt on the side and small minions in the middle.
- Knife Juggler has to be on the side (Taunt or deathrattle doesn't matter). You don't want to trade with him.
- Imp Gang Boss on the left. The Imp's will spawn in the middle.
Mulligan:
I'll talk about the cards you always want to keep first. No matter what you are playing against. After that I'll take a look at specific matchups.
Flame Imp > Voidwalker, Possessed Villager, Malchezaar's Imp > Abusive Sergeant
If you have Silverware Golem and Soulfire or Darkshire Librarian you can consider keeping both. You have a 33% Chance to discard the Silverware Golem on turn 2. If you don't have the coin and you don't have a 1 drop throw everything away. It's okay to play Abusive Sergeant on turn 1 if you don't have something else. I usually don't like keeping Dark Peddler, only keep it if you already have a good hand. Keep Dire Wolf Alpha if you have the coin and 2 1 drops.
Druid:
favored - Darkshire Councilman is fine if you have a 1 drop.
Hunter:
favored - Keep Imp Gang Boss if you a 1 drop. I don't like playing Voidwalker on turn 1 if they have the coin. You still have to play it if you don't have something else. They can coin out Huge Toad. Keep Dire Wolf Alpha if you have Possessed Villager. Keep Houndmaster and Unleash the Hounds in mind.
Tempo Mage:
favored - Keep Imp Gang Boss with a 1 drop, it's good against the Flamewaker. You don't have to play around Flamestrike, most lists aren't running it.
Freeze Mage:
heavily unfavored - Darkshire Councilman if you have a 1 drop. You have to go all in on him having no AOE.
N'Zoth Paladin:
even - Play a bit about Consecration. Darkshire Councilman again if you have 1 drop. Be careful about Doomsayer.
Aggro Paladin:
favored - Keep Imp Gang Boss with a 1 drop.
Priest:
even - Darkshire Councilman is good but it's better to bait for Shadow Word: Pain before playing it. Keep Excavated Evil in mind.
Rogue:
even - Keep Darkshire Councilman or Imp Gang Boss if you have a 1 drop. Avoid playing a 2 health minion on turn 2 if he has the coin (SI:7 Agent).
Aggro/Midrange Shaman:
heavily favored - Imp Gang Boss if you have a 1 drop. Beware Lightning Storm. Soulfire is strong against his Totem Golem.
Control Shaman:
heavily unfavored - Try to find an explosive start, keep Darkshire Councilman with a 1 drop. Kill Wrath of Air Totem.
Zoo:
even - Imp Gang Boss is insane in this matchup. Keep Dire Wolf Alpha if you have Possessed Villager, you can kill Flame Imp or Dark Peddler. You always want to clear his board, he can't use Abusive Sergeant, Power Overwhelming or Defender of Argus this way.
Renolock:
favored - Keep Darkshire Councilman. Don't play around AOE, they only have 1 Demonwrath and 1 Hellfire for early game.
Dragon Warrior:
even - I don't like Voidwalker because of Alexstrasza's Champion. Soulfire is good against Frothing Berserker, Fierce Monkey and Blackwing Corruptor.
Control Warrior:
unfavored - Keep Darkshire Councilman if you have a 1 drop. I like Possessed Villager on turn 1 and coin Darkshire Councilman or Imp Gang Boss turn 2. It plays around Fiery War Axe. Be aware of Brawl, Revenge and Ravaging Ghoul.
Questions
Why aren't you running other discard cards like Succubus or Tiny Knight of Evil?
I wanted to make the deck as consistent as possible.
No Power Overwhelming?
I don't think you need it. Soulfire is good enough.
You are awesome. Thank you for your support!
The best counter to this deck is to play real slow and squelch your opponent :)
the dust-to-potential ratio of this deck is insane. it outperforms many decks that cost 10k dust easily.
wonder what are some of the potential upgrades?
cut librarians and 1 flame imp for ooze and forbidden ritual. also PO somewhere. it is good deck, but if you discard doomguards, you may not be able to win in close/long game
Facing alot of Shamans, considering to tech x1 Crazed Alchemist, So what card should I sub for it ?
really weak deck strugless vs any deck that are played now AVOID IF YOU LIKE YOUR RANK
First game with this deck: Malchezaar's Imp + Malchezaar's Imp + Doomguard. Draw 4 cards. Opponent concedes. Northshire Cleric nodes with approval.
Upvote!
imps are good, better than argent squire, 3 3 golem for for something too perhaps.
too much discard. when you play against blizzard bot it draws perfectly, 5 turn win. when you play it, you discard your win condition.
Thanks. Very nice deck!
any place for leeroy jenkins?
got legend this season using this list with a 62.2% winrate, this is the best discard zoo list. Thanks.
Ive been playing with this deck since rank 14. I have now managed to hit a PR of rank 2. This deck works amazingly. My stats are 65W 35L at 65% wr. Thats over 4 days of play exclusively with this deck.
deck is okay and all but 12.5 an hour for coaching? u mad bro? wtf are u thinking ripping people off like that?
if you check any pro player for coaching, they tend to ask for even up to 80$/hour, I think the average is around 25$/hour, so I wouldn't say it's super expensive.
How much do you make an hour? 12.50 isn't a lot, especially for freelance work. It's actually a steal. But if it's not worthwhile to you, don't complain about it, just go spend your money where you find value.
Wow.... lucky you haven't entered the poker world. I don't know much about Hearthstone coaching prices, but 15 euro an hour sounded like slave labor when I read it. Try 50k a session from top poker pros, if they'll even bother.
No? Never? http://www.poker.org/videos/phil-hellmuth-50k-coaching-122500/
First off. Took me all of 5 seconds to find that. Then there's the players that wouldn't mention it. You do realize there's games running in Macau and Manila where the blinds alone are US12.5k/25k? With $10M+ pots no surprise. You think the odd billionaire whale would sweat 50k or so for some advice?
I am however extremely jealous you've managed to get your hands on a record of the entirety of poker history!! You really should read it one day :).
from rank 13-14 went to rank 5 with a score 25-4, but stuck at runk 5, now its 30-12.I have a huge problem with midrange shamans and control warriors.But still 71% winrate is great.
Yo, I made a video about the deck. 1 drops, 1 drops, 1 drops everywhere, but that's what everyone likes, so this is the deck for everyone. It's cheap( yeah right), it makes your opponents cry, it's effective and it has that little spice of rng that everyone likes. Check out my video and leave a comment or two.
It's really cheap. Only 1200 dust is pretty dang good.
It is cheap in dust, but you need the adventures, so that's at least 700 gold+ for them, which makes it a bit more expensive.
