Introduction

Hi guys!My name is Bane.I'm an italian 10x legend player. This season i've reached top400 legend ladder with this funny dragonlock. Thanks to all for the upvotes!:D

Renolock deck is one of the strong builds to come out of the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan expansion but i always love alternative decks when i play hearthstone so i built this dragon version. Let's start.

Dragon Renolock guide and mulligan strategy:

General mulligan vs any decks:

Reno Jackson

General mulligan vs fast decks:

Mortal Coil, Demonwrath, Imp Gang Boss, Hellfire,Mistress of Mixtures, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Doomsayer, Kazakus.

General mulligan vs slow decks:

Lord Jaraxxus, Netherspite Historian (if u have a dragon) in ur opening hand, Twilight Drake, Mountain Giant.

Dragon Renolock Matchup advices:

In this section, I’ll give a few quick tips on how to play in the most popular matchups.

 Shaman:

Slightly favored matchup. Hard mulligan for a good early game (Mortal Coil,Mistress of Mixtures,Ooze,Doomsayer,Imp gang boss, Twilight Guardian if u have coin,a dragon and other good starting cards), Reno jackson and some Aoe like Hellfire, Demonwrath or Kazakus.

Try to stabilize the game, think to the future turns and in which mode u can counter the shaman oppo. Try to have always an answer for the 4 mana 7-7, like a dragon and a shadow bolt or corruption. When u stabilize the game the match is over in 90% of the case.

Pirate warrior:

Another slightly favored matchup, depend a lot on the early draws. The mulligan is the same mulligan that u have vs shamans but in this case u have to put even more attention to ur hp.

Ooze ,coil,demonwrath,doomsayer,kazakus and obviously reno are the key cards to win this game.

Don't risk too much, pirate warriors have a lot of burst in their hand so don't tap too much less than u have a bad hand.If u are capable to arrive to turn 6-7 probably u win.

Dragon priest:

Very favored matchup. Mulligan for Twilight Drake( hard to remove), Mountain Giant, Reno, in some case Thaurissan and Lord Jaraxxus.

This matchup is easy but if the priest has a good start this can complicate the match so put always an eye on your HP.

Obviously in most case the key to win this match up is Lord Jaraxxus. Play it when u have baord possession, good removal in ur hand, when ur oppo has not many cards in his hand or when u can spawn the abyssal 6-6. Priests cannot counter a 6-6 any turn.

Renolock:

Renolock is an hard matchup. This version is unfavored against other Renolock versions like the combo's version. Mulligan for Twiligh Drake, Mountain Giant and in some case Thaurissan.U have to take advantage of ur oppo turn by turn, playing safe and good. You must use ur resources in the best way. Brann+kazakus+netherspite historian is a good idea.

If u understand that ur oppo doesn't play the combo version u can play jaraxxus when u know that u have board possession and good cards and start to kick his ass with Oblivion's Lord.

Miracle rogue:

Very bad matchup. They have everything to kick ur ass. Sap for ur drakes and giants, burst for ur hp....a big edwin on turn 1( -_-'').

BBBBBut...we can try to stop them. Mulligan for a good start. Kazakus is a key card in this matchup. Other good cards are Ooze, Reno Jackson obviously, Imp Gang Boss, Mortal Coil, Doomsayer, and some Aoe for the little pirates like demonwrath or hellfire. The other key to win this matchup is to know when u can risk or not. In some case the only way to win the game even if u'are on 12hp is not to play reno but maybe play an Abyssal enforcer to kill some enemy minions.

Jade druid:

Not properly a good matchup. Try to control the board soon. Good cards to mulligan are Twilight Drake,Mountain Giant, Thaurissan in some case. Try to end the match as soon as possible.

Reno mage:

I think that this matchup is a sort of 50-50. We have to use our resources absolutely in the best mode. Use Kazakus only with brann. Mulligan for Twilight Drake, Mountain Giant, Reno. A key to win this matchup is Lord Jaraxxus but we have to pay much attention, is better to play him when u know that our oppo has ended his burst coz we can run out of hp very soon. Other keys to win this matchup are to play Ysera when ur oppo has just used his Polymorph maybe on a mountain giant or  hoping that Dirty Rat pull out their Kazakus. (^_^'')

Reno Dragonlock combo :

Dirty rat+twisting Neither.

Brann+all battlecry minions.

Dirty rat+mind control tech

Twilight drake and mountain giant+Faceless Shambler

Card replacements:

My advice is to keep the deck like it is but if u don't like something u can write in the comments and i can give u an advice on some replacements.
