Deck I made based on Krul the Unshackled
Updated the deck and have been on a win streak of 8 games. Enjoy!
*Update 12/15/16*
- Dark Peddler
- Sunfury Protector
for
+ Brann Bronzebeard
+ Sen'jin Shieldmasta
*Previous update*
I removed Fearsome Doomguard and replaced him with Kabal Trafficker (orginally had her in this deck) and fell in love with her RNG drawing Krul the Unshackled or Lord Jaraxxus then next turn taunts up. With Kazakus, I prefer to get armor or summon minions that died. I've typically always rolled a 5cost unless I can combo the potion with Emperor Thaurissan. I suggest creating a potion that fits your opponent.. if you know hes a smorc warrior then craft armor and damage to board.
Don't be shy to modify the deck, I'll say it again, this deck is meant to be changed to fit the meta. If you face more control, add MCT instead of Shadow Bolt, add Cult Apothecary for more heal. For a more defensive approach add in Second-Rate Bruiser, Dirty Rat, or both when facing aggro
Thanks for all the feedback friends!
Suggestions mentioned:
+/- Dark Peddler OR Brann Bronzebeard
+/-Twisting Nether OR Felfire Potion
+/- Faceless Shambler OR Second-Rate Bruiser OR Sen'jin Shieldmasta
+/- Fearsome Doomguard OR Kabal Trafficker
+/- Mind Control Tech OR Shadow Bolt
+/- Second-Rate Bruiser OR Dirty Rat
Combos:
Krul the Unshackled + Lord Jaraxxus + demons (Winning.exe)
Sylvanas Windrunner + Power Overwhelming
Sylvanas Windrunner + Shadowflame
Minion + [card]Power Overwhelming[/card] + Shadowflame
Krul the Unshackled > Next turn Faceless Shambler to grab life of highest minion (if Lord Jaraxxus is pulled, win)
Twilight Drake + Faceless Shambler
[card]kazakus[/card] > 5 / 10 cost potion can allow you to summon minions that died, demons to hand /board, freesze minions, + life, + armor. damage to all / single target
Any suggestions are appreciated and welcomed
I've thought about adding him, he could fit
I've been trying this deck and Krul is by far my favorite card. Playing Krul the Unshackled and then through it at the same time dropping a 3/15 Lord Jaraxxus with Doomguard and perhaps something else is not an uncommon sight, and will often win the game right there. If your opponent doesn't win on the next turn, he likely never will. Initially, I wasn't exited about this card, but tbh I haven't had the rush I get playing it playing a card since Mal'ganis.
how good is Krul the Unshackled in this deck?
main focus in this deck, without him id look into crafting a straight up reno lock deck
Hi, I'd like to submit my opinion as someone who as climbed to legend entirely with Renolock and has played 3 variants of the deck and basically loves Renolock.
I think Alexstraza and Ragnaros make no sense in this deck. I think you need to decide between Jaraxxus and Alexstraza in Renolock, as they are just too similar. Alexstraza makes more sense in a Leeroy + Faceless combo variant deck where you can insta-win vs certain control decks after playing Alexstraza, or after stabilizing against aggro. In this deck, we are using Jaraxxus as our anti-control card, and even though Jaraxxus is a pretty silly card at times I am all for it because I just love playing him.
Ragnaros is just a generic late game legendary that has no place in this deck. We most DEFINITELY do not need more late-game. If you look at the curve of this deck, even without Rag it looks way too high. I'd rather replace this with Fearsome Doomguard to get some juicer Krul turns.
I think it's a crime not to run the Mistress of Mixtures card. This is the new zombie chow, come on.
What is Bloodfury Potion doing here? Please. This card should be shunned.
Faceless Shambler is a win-more card that doesn't help us take back the board against the shitfest of aggro decks and their 1/1 charging pirates that fly out of their decks at will. I would rather have Mind Control Tech for serious swing turns. Coining imp gang boss into MCT is an amazing way to take immediate control versus an aggro warrior that refuses to trade on turn 3.
Power Overwhelming is really debatable without the Leeroy combo, but it's acceptable with Shadowflame and I'll experiment with it. Basically, what this all boils down to is that a Krul deck is inherently greedy and we need as many early game cards as possible.
hey lazy, thanks for the detailed feedback. I've sent you a priv msg and would like to speak in further detail to improve the deck. look forward to discussing improvements !
I've also hit legend multiple seasons with renolock and agree with you. ragnaros is fine, it's good vs the mirror and druid, and okay vs dragon priest (although i like the fearsome doom guard sub). I'm currently rank 4 (Day 3, i can post a pic but have no clue how to, if anyone knows how to with a macbook let me know and i will) and will be hitting legend with this list (made a few changes). I switched Faceless Shambler for senjin, shambler is too slow against the current meta which is pirate warrior, and dragon priest.
Also took out the blood fury potion for shadow bolt, i think it's also better than MCT (no explanation needed, the card is just good vs any 4 health minions such as drake, totem golem, kor'kron, frothing berserker etc.) and took out alex for twisting nether, not sure about this. seems like the only replacement unless you want to lower your curve, think twisting nether is fine and is solid vs jade druid.
Also agree with the power overwhelming, took it out at first for demonfire, and than took that out for mistress of mixtures. i was surprised how good void walker is, i guess it just shows how many pirate warriors I was facing today.
also a side note, kazakus is def. mvp vs. some matchups. vs pirate warrior, midrange shaman and dragon priest i'd recommend going for the 5 mana spell (unless you have one mana floating and you can get board with the 1 mana spell. the 5 mana spell usually offers the deal 4 damage to all minions and pretty sure it also offers 7 armour (don't quite remember) which is obv good vs aggro and midrange decks, and vs jade druid going for the 10 mana spell (unless you are losing board which shouldn't be happening often) is good. nothing like turning their board full of jade golems into 1/1 and summoning an 8/8 or reviving 3 minions which is a good tempo swing and following that up with krul is kreygasm xD.
since the meta is quite aggro right now, i wouldn't mind the lower curve, even thinking about taking out dark peddler for another doomsayer and just run 2 copies but i guess that makes reno less reliable so I'm not sure (doomsayer is just so good for gaining tempo!) really have been unimpressed so far by dark peddler and it's discover choices vs the current meta. also mountain giant isn't as good as it should be because of the aggressive meta, it's good vs druid and the mirror, but bad vs pirate warrior/rogue and alright vs priest (depends on whether the list run 1x or 2x of shadow word: death) so if anyone wanted to lower the curve of this list i'd probably start with that card but can be convinced otherwise.
so if anyone didn't want to read my reasonings, it's - Alexstrasza + Twisting Nether, -Bloodfury Posion +Shadow Bolt, -Power Overwhelming + Mistress of Mixtures (i tried demon fire first but like lazypurplee said mistress is the new zombie chow and that card was used in every control deck when it was in rotation, yes it's that good) -Faceless Shambler + Sen'jin.
. i went from rank 13 to rank 4 today, I'm not sure how to post pics with my computer, if anyone wants to explain to me feel free to pm me or comment here. good luck, the deck is solid overall. i was really impressed how well it did today in the current meta.
also just realised there's no 5 drop in this list, I think cult apothecary or psychotron can also be added just not sure what to take out for it, i guess if u don't want to run twisting nether because of this deck lists high mana curve that can be taken out not quite sure, i really like twisting nether.
Can you run Cho'gall in this deck it has quite a lot of potential with Kazakus and the new MSOG spells for Warlock
how does this deck do against pirate warrior and jade golem druid? I've been seeing a lot of them in ranked.
I havent ran into pirate warrior much, I've beat druid no problems so far. Priest seems to be tough but its probably me misplaying
we're a favourite vs priest, most games that i win i usually stabilise and drop jaraxxus for the win. of course sometimes they curve out like a god and u can't get board and lose. i forgot what the 5 mana 5/6 discover one of your opponents card is called, but that card is hard to deal with sometimes.
How bout adding Sergeant Sally Instead of hellfire then u can use power overwhelming on sally 5 attack to all enemy minions
I don't have her! someone earlier mentioned her and I think its a legit idea . try it!
It works great i been using Sally
what the fck is shadow bane ?
and what the fck is bloody potion. {removed}. Won't play the deck.
auto corrected on my phone, will make the changes.
Oh sorry man xD I tought like you didn't really care or didn't want to pay attention on explaining things and it made me a bit salty.
I'm missing 2100 dust to try the deck. Don't have Krul.
No worries, I've been trying to keep the thread alive and be as active as possible.
Bummer, its a lot of fun!
