Renolock is an extremely versatile archetype due to having 30 different cards within its highlander style deck. This deck has 2 different endgame goals based on the matchup. Against aggro, Renolock tries to play defensively, using strong value cards to remove early aggression from the board using removal spells, using defensive minions such as Deathlord and Sludge Belcher, and eventually healing to full with Reno. Against control match-ups, the goal of the deck is to get value out of your cards, using Brann/Kazakus then finishing your opponent off with Jaraxxus, Leeroy Combo, N’zoth or a combination of the 3 based on how the deck is built. Due to having 30 unique cards, there are a lot of slightly different decks circulating the wild ladder. The decks that we are showcasing today are some of the stronger variants that we have ran across, as they are the ones that are the most refined.
In this current meta Renolock is one of the top decks, being able to consistently beat the rest of the tier 1 decks. Renolock is a higher skill capped deck than most of the ones on this list, allowing better players to showcase their skills by playing the deck at a higher level.

Uhm this list is completely missed the Leeroy Combo but in the text you mentionned the combo. Is this correct?
I'd rather prefer the Leeroy combo that N'Zoth, cause you can steal some wins by surprise.
Probably cut a Mistress or the Earthen for the N'zoth?
Great Deck overall!
It's meant to be a general write-up of Renolock as a whole. We mention that the primary finishers of Renolock are N'Zoth, the Corruptor, Leeroy Jenkins combo , and Lord Jaraxxus or some combination of the 3. This list is a N'Zoth build. Renolock is the only true control meta list in wild right now. So burst means very little. Your gameplan vs. aggro is to stall the game. Mid-range to out-value, Fatigue to out-tempo, and vs combo well you'll probably end up dead by turn 11 either way. None of these matchups particularly improve with Leeroy combo. While they all are helped by N'Zoth. If control decks like Control Shaman, Control Priest, or Jade Druid have a bigger impact on the wild meta we may see more players opting for combo.
More and more decks were putting in burst damage. Secret Pallys running Anyfin Can Happen, Control Shamans running Leeroy Jenkins Combo. It became difficult to play Lord Jaraxxus safely. Many top Reno plays have opted for Ragnaros the Firelord instead, although certainly both are run.
Question: What could we take out for Lord Jaraxxus, I guess Dark Peddler because we don't have the Leeroy Jenkins combo anyway?
