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!
I tried to make it as consistent as possible. I'm sure that Discolock has potential to be Tier 1, maybe not exactly this list but something similar.
Playing the exact same list since a few day. I feel like it's the most consistent and well rounded Aggro Deck at the moment.
Too sad it will start swarming the ladder because I enjoyed the effect of surprise ^^
Leeroy is strictly worse
Great deck, thanks
Currently 13-0 with this. Most games aren't even close. Seems Opie Opie
At 16-1 without a single mirror match.. Is this not part of meta yet? It will be
This deck is really strong and fun to play, thanks!
Considering this deck has both the Juggalo and Darkshire Councilman, I feel it absolutely needs Forbidden Ritual. I took out the Flame Imps since you already have so many one drops and that 3 damage can make it a dead card if you get it in the late game. Working fine so far.
Sjow's version is exactly the same as Zananananan's one except for the following substitution:
-1 Dire Wolf Alpha
+1 Forbidden Ritual
I Can't win whit this deck!! why WHY!!! :c
Shouldn't matter because the OP is at high legend.
nice deck, what is better: trade or full smorc?
thats what i think.. i went 7-3 in casual mode, first time with discart and practicing (sorry for my english)
Dude, i dont know if you refine the list, but thanks for share it, i was working in my discardlock too and it was working pretty well i just felt that my only copy of forbidden ritual was too clonky for this deck, but for some reason i didn't cut out XD anyway i will try ur decklist, it seems pretty consistant, can i add you by the way? xD i am a legend player too, welp not at this season yet, but maybe in a couple days XD
This is terribly inconsistent.
Finally a discard lock version that is actually pretty strong and consistent, i faced many players that concede to this deck at turn 5, played it for 30-45 mins got winstreaks from rank 15-12 no losses yet. I like the fact that is a little bit harder to play than old zoo decks, and for the people who complain all the time, you need to understand the discard mechanics if this deck, it can be very tricky sometimes! Finally, thanks a lot for this deck creator!
I have been legend from 20 in 1 hour.
any replacements for imp gang boss?
