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.
Im a long time fan of control lock as a playstyle but I just cant seem to get this deck to work properly as intended, if the playstyle seems fun, by all means, go for it, but I believe there are stronger (all be it, more expensive) options out there
Examples plz

[card]Medivh, the Guardian[/card] is so slow. Guess is possible play the deck without it. I'm trying and win % is a bit higher. Switched with The Darkness, also good for counter kaza deck :P
Hi, is viable The Darkness in this deck?
i think you can play him
what i can replace for him?
I dont know exactly,but you can try removing a Kobold Librarian
I have the darkness as well, so may try adding him myself.
I'd also like to possibly try adding Master Oakheart and 2 x Voidlord but no idea what I'd take out.
The Darkness would be nice as well though. let me know how you do with that card as I have been dying to try it since I got it in a pack.
i really feel you need the 2nd twisting nether :)
I've lost so many games with this, what the absolute fuck am I doing wrong? Literally every deck there is, counters me. Loosing over and over even in rank 19 its actually humuliating.
Hi,
Rin Warlock with Eater of Secrets is an absolutly Magekiller.
Had just 2 fights against Secret-Mages, both won in Round 11!
They give u the time u need for destroying their deck without eliminating any opposite minions on field.
Rin is much better than I thought.
Thank you for ur guide!!! I love this kind of Warlock <3
Im really glad you like the deck!
Hi, Darkshoutz! What do you think about Skull of the Man'ari and Master Oakheart and their use in this deck?
Hi!
If you want to put Master Oakheart you need to put Voidlord too because is a lot of value with him.
In my personal Opinion Skull of the Man'ari is great only if it puts on the board large minions like Voidlord and in Wild cards like Mal'Ganis.The fact is its a really slow card,and if you get even a "big demon" like Abyssal Enforcer is not that great,because its Battlecry is a really good AoE effect.
And if you manage to get Azari from Rin, the First Disciple ,this card can really screw you up by playing it.
So i think Master Oakheart can find place in this deck with some revisit,but i think Skull of the Man'ari is particularly bad in this deck.
definitely trying my own iteration of this tonight. I need to change it slightly as I can't just play a carbon copy netdeck, I always need to change it up a bit,
please check out my current version of my deck, dude. I PM'd you anyway for a little bit of advice before I craft those tyrants.
I'm running the version with the weapon and master oakheart, it works really well ( feels great to put voidlord turn 6 or other demons for free ) . But I feel like Rin fits better in the medivh version. I would also like to know your opinion Darkshoutz ?

Will this deck still work if i replace : Fungal Enchanter to Eater of Secrets, Rin, the first discliple andMedivh, the Guardian to 2x Stonehill Defender(Chance to get Rin too) , 1 Arcane Tyrant to ooze , the other Arcane Tyrant to Corridor Creeper ?
Medivh, the Guardian and Arcane Tyrant are key cards for this deck to work,if you want to change them i think its better to do another control warlock configuration,because without them the deck is worse.
If you want to play Stonehill Defender or Ooze you need to remove other non-key cards.
