Hi! this is my first deck guide on hearthpwn.com
control Warlock is a very strong against today's aggro decks like Pirate Warrior, Token Druid or Hunter's decks and also against control decks like control mage,priest or midrange paladin.
The main reason are board clears (Hellfire, Abyssal Enforcer, Shadowflame) and a lot of taunts Far Creeper, Tar Lurker.
also because of his big dudes mountain giants and drakes.
Strategy:
is to outvalue other players decks,and make the game more longer to able to play your value cards like juraxxus ,drakes and giants
Mulligans & Matchup Specific Strategies:
The basic mulligan strategy for the deck involves aggressively looking for Mountain Giant and Twilight Drake, often discarding your entire hand to look for them.
Against Aggro, you can opt not to keep Mountain Giant and instead look for more defensive tools such as Doomsayer, Mortal Coil, Shadow Bolt, and taunts.
Against Control, you can look for Faceless Shambler and deathrattle cards if you already have Mountain Giant orTwilight Drake in your opening hand.
When to Life Tap:
this is the most important thing in the game to know when to draw or to hold.
my strategy is to draw untile my health is 20.
just keeping you hp in 20 is enough to win.
Ending The Game:
most of the time your giants just end it fast .
winrate:
quest rouge : 3-8
aggro druid : 8-2
hunter : 5-7
mage(my favourite) : 13-2
combo priest : 2-5
quest warrior : 12-3
miracle rouge : 13-1
other priest decks : 15-3
murloc paladin (the worst ) : 2-8
shaman : 15-6
full wirate : 88:45
i am sure your are wining all of mage,priest and aggro druid matches .
tips :
1. dont waste all your boardclears on useless board.
2.play around cards like (bloodlust,alexstraza and counter spell )
3.try to get most health for drake and play a low cost giant
4.faceless targets are the drakes and giants only
5.dont play your juraxxs early or you might get punished
6.your target is to get on board early or to clear then play dudes
7.dont waste your doomsayer to devolve .
replacements :
lordjuraxxus : alexstraza
gluttonous ooze : normal ooze
faceless shambler : stonehill def (i dont recommend that )
doomsayer : another hellfire or abyssal
this is the final version i took out elise and nzoth with made my winrate even more than before .(72 % )
i am at rank 8 now with this deck
Pls try it out and let me know your thoughts.
Have fun and go to legend faster than ever before ;-)

Khristophesaurus Dinosaurus made a video on his channel :
How do you deal with miracle rogue? I am 0-5 now, I must have missed something... My strategy is to get drakes/mountain giants on board asap but I get wrecked by the minion that kills a minion on combo and/or sap.
its almost a value game so get your jurx and kill him with 6/6 s
Played this deck tonight for a few hours. Pretty fun and a good deck. I wouldn't recommend swapping the Shambler for the manipulator I never used the manipulator on an enemy card (I just haven't crafted a second Shamble yet)
+DOOM!x1
+Faceless Manipulator x1
-Faceless Shambler x1
-Violet Illusionist × 1
it seems that the mage is a big prob to you my journey with this deck beats every single mage
thats pretty nice
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
never mind XD
It's a fun deck and competitive against a lot of types, but it get destroyed by Jade Druid, which is seeing a lot of play right now.
i agree with you but if you can play your giants early you may have a big chance
Very interesting deck, handlock style! Thanks for sharing it.
Fun deck!! I replaced 2 faceless shamblers (don't have them) for elise and a kabal trafficker, added a Primordial Drake and Alextrazza. 9 games won in a row so far. Alex and elise have won me many games too
most of the time i am playing it at turn 6 or 7 to draw for free while have a good board also you can play your damage board clears without taking damage
Went 12-3 today from R14 to R10. Replaced Primordial Drake with a second Abyssal Enforcer. Coming out a turn earlier with 1 extra damage helped a lot vs aggro.
thats insane . the reason i dont want this is that it deals damage to your hero i dont want that
This deck seems great at the first look, surely gonna try it out. But 1 thing here I don't believe, 13-2 against mage. IMO thats possible only if most of them were tempo/secret mages, because you just get DESTROYED with any control warlock against freeze burst mage. There is not enough healing. J4ckiechan also tried all kinds of control warlock and said that facing mage is almost autolose, and his decks weren't so different. Yea, its nice to have Eater of Secrets, but I doubt that you're gonna kill mage before he bursts you down. No offense :)
that totally wrong . my match against mage is my favourite. just get rid of all his early game then let him alex you then siphon soul it the kill him with eater of secret and giants . thats how most of the games gone
I suspect the people dogging on this deck never played classic Handlock before. It was one of the most skill intensive decks in HS. In the current meta, replacing Argus and Sunfury with natural taunts(Tars) is a good idea due to not having enough mana to throw down a big minion and taunting it up in the early to mid game against all the aggro. Only real bad match-up is Freez Mage, but I've managed to beat a few thanks to Eater of Secrets.
Great deck! Classic HL was the first deck I set out to craft and had the most fun with. Thanks for posting!
Pre-Molten nerf this could have been a good deck with its current list, but we're long past that patch.
Yeah, trash reno deck that can't even reno. Creator can't even be arsed to update the explanation after taking N'Zoth out of his "N'Zoth Warlock" deck. You'd have a better time playing zoo.
this one is perfect!
4 matches and lost the 4 ...
agains mage, shaman, priest and warrior
...
Cool deck but may you update the Tips section?
You still have NZoth on there
