Hi everyone!
Since the warlock quest was announced i was intrigued about crafting and playing it, but since im a f2p player i always was too scared to invest that much dust in a not really working mechanic.
Two day ago i got really bored of the decks i was currently playing and i finally crafted everything needed for a Questlock Deck.
I had to dust a lot of Legendaries to gather the needed dust, but, boy, it was worth it!
I haven't had so much fun playing Hearthstone in quiet a while.
The first day playing i tinkered around a bit, the core of the deck is from Kibler's Questlock, but i swapped out quiet some cards.
When i thought it won't get better i started playing ranked.
I managed to climb from Rang 10 to Rang 5.
I will continue playing and update where i get to .
So here's my list for everyone who is interested and in case you have questions and or this gets enough attention, ill try and write a detailed guide.
(Not too detailed, because one of the strengths of this deck is to really surprise your opponent ) :D
Lets get it straight guys, if you dont have a vast amount of dust and or are reeeeeeeally hyped to play a discardlock, it's probably not worth crafting all the cards for it, youre better of with zoolock and or control, like some commenters said.
And yes, i use crawlers because everyone, their mothers and their pets uses pirates.
If they use pirates its a goddamn strong card, if they don't, youre happy to discard them :P
My hopes are that the next expansion brings some more support to discard, like the last ones.
I'd like a card that says: 'Recruit a Minion you discarded this game' or 'Discover a Card you discarded this game'
This got way more attention than i anticipated, thank you guys for the advice, videos and so on :)
Here are my thoughts about the deck and it's variations:
The whole Package:
Basically just like you see it here, the quest, gul'dan, both legendaries, heavy discard focussed with some control tools.
It's the most 'complicated' and you can be heavily punished by discarding the wrong stuff.
You will lose tempo because you play the quest on turn one instead of a 1-drop.
The Board can be won back by playing heavy minions like lakkaries, discarding golems, or by defiling the enemy board (e.g. vs shaman or rogue).
If you want to utilize the quest you need to be careful when you play howlfiends!
I only play the quest if i really are able too, because, here again you will lose tempo.
So, if youre behind on the board and you have something better to play, just risk discarding it :)
Same goes for Gul'dan, discarding him in the early turns doesnt matter, but if i draw him on turn 7 or 8 i try to keep him until 10 and just discard him when i really need to.
Bloodueen is similar again, shes really great if you can play her and keep in mind, she still gains attack (heal) if she's on board and you discard stuff.
The Package with 1-Drops:
I took out stuff like Drain Soul and put it Flame Imps and Voidvalkers, so turn one you can decide if you want to play the quest or hold it back for some time.
Aggro:
Take out the expensive stuff :)
No Bloodqueen, no quest, a lot of oneand two drops, you want the board, you get it and you stay there.
Gul'dan is optional here, really strong if you can play him.
For this you should check out JackieChans deck he played in the GameGune Tournament 2017 ;)
The whole discard staff is pretty whacky and i think everyone whos interested in playing it/has the cards anyway needs to tinker around by himself.
My personal favourite is the whole package, you really need to think before you play something, you need to adjust your plan all the time, discard by discard, draw by draw ;)
Someone (everyone) should send this to Firebat's Deckdoctor, i want to see what he does with it :) (The Quest is the Soul of the Deck)
Well, the new card (Cataclysm) looks amazing.
You can, if you fall behind, wipe the board, do your quest in a single turn and if it works like deathwing, refill your hand when you play a Malchezaar's Imp.
if you run 2 howfiends then you must run 1 treachery because if you complete the quest then draw the 2nd howlfiend you must then send it over to the other side or you just gonna be losing so many cards as the deck is already discard heavy and trying to even make that combo in a discard deck might not be easy,,,,,,personaly i think no howlfiend at all is needed here i mean come on how annoying when it discards the quest ,, better cards altogether can be used i plus 1 your deck regardless nice to see somthing different :D
I played the warlock quest since it came out and this deck is fine but please take out Howlfeind. That is not controllable and most of the times makes you discard the quest.
I have had a lot of succes with Howlfiend honestly, because most people start trading and using their ressources in weird ways to discard as much as possible from your hand, because that's what they do when Howly shows up in other matches.
And it's a 3/6 on 3.
A Howfiend on three has got me the quest turn 5 on many occasions ;)
and discarded it round 6 so many times :D
how are you finding the deck, then? I really want to see disco do well, despite being an under dog.
hope you get somewhere with this. would love to see some footage if you record, or failing that, if I could add you on battlenet, maybe be a spectator for some of your games?
Discarding Gul Dan in early really sucks XD
you should try wild, cards like "fist of jaraxxus" make it really fun
will do =)
Replaced quest, quenn, drain soul and defiles with voidwalkers, dreadlords and flame imps. I think first drop is really necessary, went 8-0
You can play a 1-drop friend! If you have quest in hand, hold on to it, and on turn on drop a voidwalker or discard-imp and then turn 2 or 3 drop the quest right before you discard your first card. This way flame imp and such can still do work and you dont miss a beat on the quest (or discard it)! Good luck to you friend!
Upvote for being so brave to play Discardlock. I really would like to play this deck, but I'm missing Lakkari Sacrifice and I don't want to craft it.
b/c you are poor
I disenchanted it and got it right back. Blood-Queen Lana'thel, too...
Think I'm gonna try this for sure!
Do you think Feral Gibberer could be a good card for this deck to increase the amount of waste in your hand to discard?
As long as Patches is around Feral Gibberer will be useless.
You've completely missed the point with this response...
Rank 15-->14,so far so good.Besides,lot of fun!
