Hi all! i want to share with all of you a really fun deck to play(and maybe good too,who knows!)
This is a little guide that explains the deck
It plays like a Control Warlock,it starts really good with early minions like Kobold Librarian,Vulgar Homunculus and Voidwalker.
Fungal Enchanter is a better Earthen Ring Farseer and it works really well with your early minions.
Medivh, the Guardian works really well with cards like Rin, the First Disciple Seals, with big spells like Twisting Nether and Siphon Soul
Arcane Tyrant is a really good card in this deck,it works well with big spells and seals(a 4/4 and a 2/2 for the first seal resolve a bit the tempo loss)
Hooked Reaver is a MVP card versus aggro decks. a 4 mana 7/7 with taunt helps alot on the board, and its really likely to have 15 or less health with this deck,especially in aggro matchups.
Lesser Amethyst Spellstone is awesome with all your deal damage to yourself effects,and it gives you a bit of heal and a great removal.(its considerable to run two of these instead maybe of a Hellfire)
Rin, the First Disciple like explained before, works well with Arcane Tyrant and Medivh, the Guardian because of Seals,This Card is more of a control matchup card,in aggro matchups is like a bad 6 drop with taunt.For this card you dont need to think of the final reward(Azari) but more of the value it offers with the Seals.
Im open to answer all of your questions (if you have some :P)
UPDATE 1: Removed a Mortal Coil and Drain Soul and added 2 Defile.
UPDATE 2: Is considerable to Remove an Hellfire or an Abyssal Enforcer for an Healing tool,only because of Hunter hero power and aggressive cards(it depends on how many hunter do you encounter)Same thing for Skulking Geist if you encounter a lot of Jade Druid.
UPDATE 3: Removed the last Mortal Coil,Removed a Hooked Reaver,Removed an Hellfire and added 1 Skulking Geist 1 Drain Soul 1 Lesser Amethyst Spellstone
I removed Mortal Coil because Drain Soul is better in aggro matchups, offers a early removal and healing for your hero and it helps more to set a good Defile
2 Hooked Reaver were too much,because in control matchups most of the time they were only 4/4s sitting in my hand,So i decided to remove one and put a Skulking Geist for jade druids,dragon priests(inner fire) and Kingsbane Rogues(deadly poison).
I removed an Hellfire too,because we already have cards Like Abyssal Enforcer,Defile,Twisting Nether and Despicable Dreadlord for AoE,I put instead another Lesser Amethyst Spellstone for healing potential and a good "big minions" removal.
If you want to see the deck in action,there's the video of kiwiinbacon playing it!
If i wrote the "guide"in bad grammar,im sorry but my first language is not english but italian.
Would there be any reason not to use Bloodmage Thalnos in place of Tainted Zealot if I've already got him?
Defile is the only reason i can think of.
That makes sense. Thanks!
I think you can use Bloodmage Thalnos.
Defile is still good, because you can still combine it with Mistress of Mixtures to have a 2 health minion.
Really fun deck! +1
Ok, so I don't have the dust for Cubelock but I have enough for this deck. Is this deck good enough for consistent ladder play and what is its good/bad matchups. TY :)
Very viable and fun deck that I thoroughly enjoy! :)
I replaced Rin (because I dont have her) with the Lich King and Medivh with Stonehill Defender.
Sick deck, love it!
I've replaced Rin, the First Disciple with Stonehill Defender and Medivh, the Guardian with The Lich King
The deck is still very powerful :D
This deck is incredible! Rode a win streak straight from rank 9 to rank 5. Works wonders against all the commonly seen decks!
I like your deck but if you're a looking for a nice working kazakus variant, plz check mine out:
Greetings guys!
I was really hesitating with crafting the Rin since it is a lot of dust but I decided that I will give it a shot and I cant say that I would regret it. The seal thingy is nice addition to the control style of warlock I really like! The inclusion of the tyrant is absolutely insane I feel! I would say it is something like the Corridor Creeper but instead for casting a spell - with seals and siphons you can do it really easily.
In the video bellow you can see a really intense match versus a new pirate warrior ! Even though he skipped first two turns he was not a easy opponent to defeat. He used some sick combos using the Mithrill spellstone and put me under a lot of pressure. I feel like I had a lot of hard decisions to make but I make it to the end and I won with the best top deck possible - see for your self in the video :P
I hope you can enjoy that video guys and have a nice day :)
Yes. Arguably he's too slow against both control and aggressive decks. I stuck in Jaraxxus as an emergency heal and alternative win condition, but you'd honestly be better off with a lot of other things. Especially with everyone running weapon removal.
Arcane Tyrant is very good tempo. It basically turns things like siphon soul into a firelands portal and it turns the first two seals from a low tempo play to an acceptable tempo play.
If you don't want to craft it yet, I'd just stick in some more annoying midgame minions to try to contest the board to the point where you can play the seals or survive until you can drop your death knight. Another farseer, hooked reaver, or abyssal enforcer or something like that, depending on what you're facing.
As a warning, this deck can beat aggro and combo consistently with a decent draw but it really struggles against big priest and druid as well as jades, especially the ones that go all in on the greed.
Always wait a month
Cut Medivh, the Guardian or Hooked Reaver
Loving this deck and loving Rin. Only thing I changed was taking out a voidwalker and putting in a dark pact. Faced a lot of mages and having a way to burst heal while also removing a minion that can be turned into Frost Liche fodder is pretty nice.
You can useDark Pact on Rin to deny silence by priests!
rin replacement?
Every another deck from new meta just destroy you with this deck.
Maybe you're just bad
