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? :)
Handlock is ALIVE \ Kreygasm / !
Ended up tech'ing in Bane of Doom, acidic swamp ooze, and abyssal enforcer.
I don't have kabbal trafficker or Sgt. sally, any suggestions, I love handlock.
Would try but I'm not investing 800 into dead Molten Giant :(
there is not enough heal in this deck
Ok, but how do you stay high with health?
Old school Handlock player since Season 10, 6-0 so far great list!
Nice deck!
Is the healing you currently have enough? I was thinking about throwing one or two Earthen Ring Farseer in, although I'm not sure what to replace in any case.
I've found that you don't really need heal (vs. Aggro if that's what you mean) because Mistress of Mixtures and Imp Gang Boss on coin do a pretty good job of keeping their little minions busy to get to your later stuff.
yes, and you can discover more Mistress of Mixtures from Dark Peddler
fair enough, thanks both of you
I really like handlock and this deck seems very good, but I was wondering if you could possibly make a Nzoth version of this deck.
We try to resist Aggro decks, so there is no room for N'Zoth.
But if meta will turns to control we'll make this deck heavier.
Why not run combo? I play HandLock too but i use Leeroy, Faceless and double P.O in mine - it's extremely good against Priests and other Warlocks and in aggressive matchups you can use the Faceless to copy a big Taunt and the P.O's for improving trades, shadowflame and the Shamblers. :)
Also what's your opinion on Ancient Watchers?
well i guess its just no handlock with the combo in it
There is no room for combo, because too many aggro decks.
But Leeroy and Manipulator are not good vs Aggro decks.
But we can win all control decks without Combo.
Can i replace Jarraxus with krul the unshackled ?
