Handlock is alive. Playing high ranks with 55%+ win rate. #PraiseHandlock
How to play Handlock?
We have good big minions, we have strong spells and we have Lord Jaraxxus.
All these things are our Win Conditions.
Playing versus Aggro Decks:
Remove all threats carefully. Don't use your mass removals on the weak board. But count opponent's damage.
We need to make Big Taunts with Faceless Shambler + Twilight Drake, Mountain Giant and Kabal Trafficker.
Also you have good combos with small minion and Power Overwhelming to make great Faceless Shambler.
Mulligan:
There are a lot of useful cards in this deck.
Mistress of Mixtures, Mortal Coil, Dark Peddler, Imp Gang Boss, Shadow Bolt, Twilight Drake and Sergeant Sally.
Demonwrath vs Warriors.
Hellfire vs Shamans.
Playing versus Control Decks:
We have 2 main win conditions:
1. Play all our Big Boys - because Control decks have no all answers for them.
2. Lord Jaraxxus.
I advice you to play in such matchups as you common Reno Warlock with one copy of card and Reno Jackson. But NO! :)
You have to know how your opponent can remove your Big Daddies.
Mages: Fireball and Polymorph. All other are random.
Druids: one copy of Mulch.
Paladins: play around Equality
Priests: Shadow Word: Death and Dragonfire Potion. If Reno - one copy of Entomb.
Warriors: Shield Slam, Execute and Brawl.
Warlocks: Blastcrystal Potion, Siphon Soul, Shadowflame and Twisting Nether.
If you know it and count what he still has - you will win.
Mulligan:
We need to find just: Twilight Drake and Mountain Giant.
Tips and Combos.
Our main Combo is Sergeant Sally + Power Overwhelming. We have 2 copies of PO in the deck and can discover 2 more from Dark Peddler.
Minion + Power Overwhelming + Faceless Shambler will give you big Taunt and he will not dead in the end of the turn.
Try to play Lord Jaraxxus on empty board or on the board with your Taunts.
Count possible damage before playing Lord.
Are you ready to play Handlock? :)
I am missing a 2nd Faceless Shambler. Any suggestions for replacements? I am thinking Sylvanas Windrunner, Big Game Hunter or a 2nd Shadowflame.
That moment you just dusted two of Kabal Trafficker
Eerie Statue is a great replacement for the Kabal Traffickers !
Awesome deck man, , its fucking good to beat some Reno Locks with it :D
double sry
So I substituted one faceless shambler for Sylvanas. What are your thoughts on subbing a Kabal trafficker for Leeroy? Or maybe even the other Trafficker also, for thaurissan
What the hell is up with people commenting on this deck? Half the reason I'm interested in this deck are the cool/different cards. Sure Sylvanas would be good in this deck but Kabal Trafficker is a card with good stats and it's a constant stream of card draw if not dealt with. Sergeant Sally is cool as shit and is the only way I can think of to do 5 damage JUST to your opponent's minions for 4 mana or less (maybe Shadowflame shenanigans but you lose a big minion for that). People sometimes just need to try out new things and enjoy them for what they are. I crafted Sally for this and I'm glad I did because it's such a fun card.
If you guys don't have Sally, I replaced the pos and Sally with 2 ooze and a 2nd demon wrath for aggro. If you encounter a lot of reno decks, replace wrath with enforcer or sylvanas
No farseers, no reno, no doomsayers, your consistency against aggro is worse than a standard renolock.
How to replace Sergeant Sally? And why no Sylvanas Windrunner?
Another Hellfire.
I think there are not a lot of targets for her now.
Kabal Trafficker has more value. IMHO.
Yea I think so, this card has potential, but sadly I don't have her too, tbh I don't some more cards for this deck. But Kabal Traffickers and one Faceless Shambler are the main I don't have. Don't think there are any replacements for those.
I think at least one Trafficker is worth, but what about Faceless Shambler? I have only one, should I craft another?
Ok, thanks. Anyways I think Kabal Trafficker has big potential in demonlock especially on Wild.
Another Hellfire.
Cheap control deck, you don't really need sally in it.
I am a simple man,i see handlock i upvote!!!
As for the deck i have everything except kabal traficer.Any replacement?I would go for sylvanas/thaurissan or more heals but it would make the deck less interesting wouldn't it?
you can use Combo: Leeroy Jenkins + Faceless Manipulator
