**Just changed to the Leeroy combo, way better for higher ranks**
Things to consider:
A great combo in this deck vs control: While having reduced mana for just three of these 5 Cards, you can combo kill so much stuff ( You dont have to use all 5 but its epicly good to do so)
Emperor Thaurissan:
-Brann Bronzebeard + Dirty Rat + Mind Control Tech + Power Overwhelming + Shadowflame = gg Especially on an already occupied board with 3 minions, you will be able to deny to 2 cards in his hand (example reno) then steal 2 cards, then wipe his whole board.
-This deck is not only okay to survive the Pirate, it is great against priest/Freeze mage and even Jades deck and Mid range. It is pretty balanced all around! Vs control decks with high value like priest, try to get a potion effect from kazakus that gives you random demons in your hand, you could get a second jaraxxus, illidan and many other great demons!
-Why Deathwing? It is an option to get rid of those Jade Idols druid who over commit, you can keep pushing damage with your minions then, if avaible : Shadowflame stuff, then later on, you Twisting nether his board of higher Hp Jades. Then when all is lost you deathwing (preferably while you are in Jaraxxus mode) and it is usually a easy win.
-Replacement for the Leeroy Jenkins Combo Alternative :
*Replace Deathwing and Sergeant Sally for Leeroy Jenkins and Faceless Manipulator
*Replace Sen'jin Shieldmasta and Drain Life for Mountain Giant and Faceless Shambler
Board Clears :
* = Can Produce card that has board clears
-Demonwrath
-Sergeant Sally
-Hellfire
-Shadowflame
-Kazakus *
-Kabal Courier *
-Abyssal Enforcer
-Twisting Nether
-Deathwing
Heals:
* = Can Produce card that has heals
**= Good for healing minions too
-Mistress of Mixtures
-Drain Life
-Earthen Ring Farseer **
-Refreshment Vendor
-Reno Jackson
-Siphon Soul
-Lord Jaraxxus
-Kabal Courier * / **
-Kazakus ***= Armor
Removals:
* = Can Produce card that has removal
-Mortal Coil
-Power Overwhelming (kinda)
-Drain Life
-Shadow Bolt
-Blastcrystal Potion
-Siphon Soul
-Kabal Courier *
-Kazakus *
Card Factories:
-Kabal Courier
-Kazakus
-Lord Jaraxxus * = Infinite Abyssal
Brann Bronzebeard Combo :
-Dirty Rat *Double minion out then MC tech, double steal, then shadowflame
-Mind Control Tech * ^ Double Steal
-Earthen Ring Farseer * 6 Heals
-Kabal Courier * 2 Cards
-Kazakus * 2 Potions
-Refreshment Vendor * 8 Heals
-Twilight Drake * Double HP
-Abyssal Enforcer * 6 Damage Board Clear to ALL
How to win?
I know it seems weird looking at this deck and seeing how to win against control or mid-range. Because of the numerous board clears,heals and removals. But basically this is a Grinder Deck meaning: You survive the onslaught of Aggro or control with the multiple of tools available to the warlock.
Then when you are in control, some of your minions will stack up a little bit a damage, that's fine, But then the big winner is definitely Jaraxxus combined with Kazakus potions/Deathwing . Vs control you usually still Have removal or board clear by that point of the game, and you can simply use the Minion factory of Jaraxxus Abyssals to win the game very easily. Vs Jade decks, use your removals wisely and keep some for the late game, then jaraxxus, and when sh*t is out of hand you can twisting nether, and then after the other wave of jade, you can deathwing the board to secure a win.
If you enjoy this deck or the idea, please leave a Like and a comment if you wish! Cheers!
Recent Changes:
-I cut the Sylvanas Windrunner for Drain Life
What the fuck you say? yeah this deck has so much power against control, sylvanas is not even needed. so To make up against aggro and Pirate warrior, Drain life is a great addition, Trust me.
-Cut Cult Apothecary for Sunfury Protector , Really helped alot against those pirate warriors, and there is enough heals in this deck. Plus apothecary doesnt help at all vs Pirate warriors, you heal and then he damages you for that much again, and if he has a Frothing berserker, its even worse. So Sunfury really helps at the end vs the big weapons.
hovering over rank 5-7.
I know iv never switched out sylvanas in any deck before, im just trying it. ;) Its doing good so far.
And there is already a demonwrath in this deck.
you see this is not a handlock, but rather a Grinder Lock. so yeah just trying something here. doing good stuff with it.
A good player knows when to use it early or not (Dirty Rat ). Vs aggro you definitely never EVER wait to do the brann/dirty rat combo. its there for control matchups and for a taunt against pirate aggro, when hes out of cards or just weapons in hand. Its pretty good!
second : Elise Starseeker is not good in this deck nor in this meta IMO. The win condition vs rank 5-8 people is killing off the jades druid , pirate warriors and leeroy mirror. having elise doesnt do any of that trust me. Jaraxxus plus potions and deathwing/ twisting nether, does it. when ur in jarraxus mode you can clear twice the board even 3-4 times with double potions. Elise will just destroy your good cards you want and that you already have.
Mountain Giant, and Faceless Shambler is good for sure dont get me wrong, but it isnt that great when you are getting ass kicked by pirate aggro. so when aggro is here you have to play your early cards to stay alive. so if you are playing cards, Mountain giants becomes unplayable cuz of the mana for cards you have. I dont like it in this meta vs pirate aggro everywhere.
and Unlicensed Apothecary Is not a bad idea you are right, I might consider checking it out soon!
Definitely almost never play dirty rat on coin turn 1 or 2. against pirate, thats for sure. its good later when hes out of steam or you have no choice to take a gamble (does he have a weapon or minion as last card?) its definitely great for control tho. If its the 1/1 pirate that gives a weapon that comes out, its no big deal.
for sure and have fun on ladder cheers!
Nice deck, but clearly lacks of win conditions, leeroy combo its kinda a must in my opinion. Cheers!
Thank you ! Yes I agree without leeroy it is kinda stale, gotta admit, thats why I put in the recomendations at the start to swap for this. but honestly iv had a great run today of 64% winrate. so I dont wanna change it yet. But il test some more soon with Leeroy! Thanks for the feedback btw
Nice deck, but the games take so long...
off course thats what's fun about renolock! but against pirate warriors its a turn 7-8 game, either you win at these turns or you lose turn 5 lol
Faceless shambler or dirty rat ?
I really like Dirty rat, for the super combo, and if not vs pirate warrior you can dirty rat when hes out of cards and its great efficient taunt
Any chance for a Lord Jaraxxus or Sergeant Sally replacement?
I guess if you are not running Lord Jaraxxus which is really important in this deck I would run the Leeroy Jenkins + Power Overwhelming + Faceless Manipulator Combo. that way you have this win condition!
So replace those two with leeroy + faceless. And you might wanna take out Deathwing as well for something else, Like sylvanas windunner if you want. Up to you on that one.
if you dont have leeroy, then I would run more taunts to survive aggro even more I guess
I've got both of those, along with Deathwing and [card]Sylvanas Windrunner[/card].
Why do suggest swapping Deathwing if I sub in the Leeroy combo?
EDIT: Forgot to say thanks for the quick reply!
No biggy ;D Iv been playing hearthstone like crazy today ahha, Hmm I dont know it just seems a bit weird together, I like deathwing when I am in jaraxxus mode cuz when you dump your hand with Deathwing, you have almost no more creature. So when you have jaraxxus and deathwing you can still pump a 6/6 each turn + the weapon.
You dont have to swap deathwing, I would say test it with deathwing first. But my first thoughts is that its not that good without jaraxxus.
Cheers, if you wish to leave me a thumbs up on the page id be gratefull!
I have 65% win rate right now in rank 10!!
I know right, but usually I use shadowflame + power overwhelming, so how does a 1 dmg to all really help me? I dont really know, but im definitely thinking about putting her. Right now I have a very good winrate, so Im not messing around, I might add her tho. shes definitely a good replacement
would probably replace the 3/5 demon , I guess, could be even better vs pirate who knows
I'm gonna test her right away
I replaced two cards since, working pretty good against most metas! and Pirate! I replaced the 3/5 demon and Cult Apothecary for Sergeant Sally and Sunfury Protector.
