This is Savjz' Renolock deck that he played on stream today at Rank 1 Legend.
Not sure if I'll ever have a better stream than today. Queuing up at rank 1 legend all day, long winstreaks, 40k+ viewers. Thanks :D (Source)
Alternatively he can also just craft the cards
Thanks for this awesome deck. First time legend with the Warlock :) I played this deck from rank 11 ;)
Screenshots from 10 minutes ago:
Cool :) what was your win rate with it?
Is the only game that i am playing it because can be played on the phone, so i can not say the rate.. anyhow from my feeling can beat any deck atm..
Missing Kazakus . What replacement can I use?
Maybe Kabal chemist or Kabal courier, but Kazakus potions are too powerful, so you actually can't fully replace him.
Is anyone suddenly having problems with jade druid with this deck. My overall wr was up to 76% between rank 10-6 but suddenly facing a lot of jade druids and losing to them. Their deck seems to be the standard jade druid, is this now a bad match up?
Yes this is a bad match-up. If you cannot beat them fast enough they will overwhelm you quickly with golems. You need to do the leroy combo or out value them with jaraxxus before their golems get bigger that 6/6(or so I've heard) to have a chance of winning.
I am not looking at the list rn but i'd tech in mc tech and id save sylvannas for when he builds a lot of high stat golems, basically save your hard removal like twisting nether, siphon soul, blast crystal if u have it, id also run taunts, theyre really good for when u play high stat minions, perhaps u can replace faceless with argus if it isnt already in the deck or if u dont have shambler, brann and argus is a good combo to make big taunts if u have board, if u get to play jaraxxus, u will prob win vs jade druid assuming he didnt build too many jade golems, if this list doesnt have rag, rag is good too.
The only card I am missing is Demonwrath. Is this deck still viable without it ? I'm planning on filling the spot for blast crystal potion.
Use felfire:)
Turn 14, opponent has huge board, I drop Dirty Rat which pulls Rag from his hand then I plonk Twisting Nether down and laugh :p
I was having a little trouble making this deck work late-game, I often found myself unable to pull the leeroy combo for lethal, or being forced to spend leeroy and/or power overwhelming for a removal... which leaves me without much of a finisher. I also found Jaraxxus to be very situationally good, rarely has he swung the tide for me, more often he's just icing on the crap-cake given to someone already losing.
...And then I replaced Jaraxxus with Arch Theif Rafaam. Yes. I know it sounds crazy. But it's been WORKING! Ok, 7/8 body for 9 mana isn't the best, but it's not terrible either, and being that I'm already on turn 11+ and usually sitting on a bunch of combo cards, easy play with a sturdy body. But then, oh boy, does it suck to be my opponent. I almost always grab lantern of power, and wait for the right minion to drop it on - by this late in the game most decks have burned through their big removals (mountain giant, twilight drake, emperor, etc) and I drop lantern of power on Slyvanas - and if they don't manage to kill her... faceless manipulator, or faceless shambler, assuming I still have one (almost always do) Now they have TWO 15/15 bodies on the board to deal with, with either both having mind control or a 15/15 taunt.. and I'm still sitting on 20 health. (I always try to get armor from kazakus potions) Obviously this strategy takes several late-game turns to set up but I've pulled this off WAY more times than getting lethal with leeroy + power overwhelming + faceless manipulator. It feels safer, it puts ridiculous minions on the board, and stalls the game even more incase you still havn't drawn reno. Even if you latern say, earthen ring farseer and have no faceless ones to copy it, it's still a 13/13 sticky minion in addition to the 7/8 from rafaam himself.
I tried using Alexstrasza, which I also found to be a better fit than jaraxxus, but arch thief still feels better to me.
I've been playing this deck all day and I'm sitting at an 80% winrate.
lol, I can't even pass rank 15 with this deck :DDDD
you have to play for long hours everyday. if you are playing a lot and still cant climb further, either you are really unlucky or making some misplays in control matchups. against pirates you need to find kazakus, reno and doomsayer. if you want to counter pirates better you can always remove jaraxxus and add mistress of mixtures.
This deck just can't beat aggro warrior or even midrange hunter if you don't get reno.
He didn't climb the ladder with this deck, but simply got legendary rank 1 with it - two different things. Either way, the meta has adjusted to deal with this deck quite nicely, so you'll probably be seeing less and less Renolocks, and more Jade Golem builds start to take over.
I have been on the other side of a dirty rat twice, the rng swung hard both ways; 1. free 7/7, 2. SI:7 not getting battlecry as last chance for lethal. i feel the rng is too damn high!! Replacement?
Guys do you have any strategy playing against freeze/reno mages?
I am rank 1 with this deck right now and 1-5 against the mages (I have +50% winrate against each of all the other decks).
I keep Reno Jackson until they play Alexstrasza but still, Leeroy Jenkins combo doesn't really work against Ice Block and can't really play Lord Jaraxxus because of their burst potential. Also I don't have any reliable tool for dealing with the Doomsayer-Frost Nova/Blizzard combo (except for Siphon Soul but it's such a precious and expensive removal). Any ideas how I can have a chance to win against them ?
P.S. Fortunately I went against only 6 Mages out of about 160 games I played with this deck so it's not a big deal lol.
never lucky with this deck, lost 4 games in a row at rank 10. always fucking jade shamans.
