Hi, everyone! My name is Cheelmind and I am a casual HS player from Russia who hit legend couple of times in past few months.
As the new expansion Kobolds and Catacombs has arrived I am trying out a lot of new decks and post the ones I like and that are really competitive on ladder (with gameplay videos) so other people can achieve their legend rank too. Here is a Rin Control Warlock.
If you like this deck please up vote, your support is really appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.
Here are other deck I play : http://www.hearthpwn.com/members/Cheelmind/decks
The worst luck in history :) (Highlights 1:45, 2:15, 10:35, 13:00)
Edit: You can has swapped Skulking Geist to The Darkness. It is really good against Razakus priest because you put 3 candles into their deck and they basically can't get a battle cry of Raza the Chained and Kazakus. It is also decent against jade Druid, because they cycle there deck very fast to get big Jade idols and awake The Darkness with is hard for them to deal with.
If you encounter a lot of agro though Hooked Reaver is great Eater of Secrets ( I get 34 percent hunter and mage combined and the all run secrets and lots of them)
Basic mulligans :
In all match ups except priest always keep Kobold LibrarianDefileVulgar HomunculusMistress of MixturesDoomsayerTar Creeper. IF you already have Kobold Librarian or Vulgar Homunculus you can keep Lesser Amethyst Spellstone.
Against Priest Rin, the First Disciple and Dark Pact will be very helpful on turn 6 with a coin or turn 7 so the opponent does not silence here, then burn the deck asap. This help a lot against Big priests. if you realize you face Razakus Priest with Prophet Velen, forget about playing this combo and just play as aggressive as possible, you will have not enough time to burn his cards. Kobold Librarian is definetly a keep in this matchup as well .
Here are some gameplays:
Vs Tempo Rogue and Hunt alone hunter (How Doomsayer saves the day)
Vs Big Priest was one of the hardest match ups and I met like 3 big priest in a row on rank 2-3.
Vs. Priest and Tempo Rogue
Vs. Hunter
Vs. Spider Rogue
Vs beast hunter
Here are my stats so far going rank 8 to 2:
Will be more then happy to get any feedback on how this deck is doing in your hands.
Best regards.
Hi and thinks for your comment! I will write a mulligan tomorrow in the evening. Glad you liked the deck, appreciate it )). Good luck.
you take out skulking geist for eater of secrets/ let me know if it's better. thanks. TBF maybe both are needed.
you getting much use from geist? I have been using dirty rat as tech, but don't have much room so can only run 1 tech card right now. geist might be better, just not sure till I play more games.
you think it's worth me crafting 2 x doomsayer as well?
will try this one out, just need the doomsayers, and been wanting to add some to mt collection anyway.
if you have a minute to check out my version of this style of deck, would be great.. upvoted you for a cool deck.
PS: have you thought of trying a stonehill defender over the tar creepers? I crafted some, but I'm currently running 2 x dirty rat in that slot. they are great for destroying certain decks, and can even just ruin cards in all sorts of decks. it can also screw you over though by dragging out taunts and minions without battlecries though.
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked the deck. Will check your out for sure.
From my point of view Tar Creeper is great in this deck and there is no need for replacement. He is so great against agro and you will see many Rogue, Hunters and new tempo mages on ladder.
nice deck. is dark pact a necessity? and is it better than sacri pact?
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Dark Pact has been working great for me so far to be honest. It provides 3 more health for just one extra mana and some times I use it on Rin, the First Disciple on turn 7 against priests so they do not silence her.
oh so you also use it to deny it from being silenced. i see. the other pact was good against opponent demons as well but i can see that dark pact is indeed the wiser choice for this deck.. one last thing, if you have the choice to switch geist, what's the best card for that spot? im loving rin.
Skulking Geist is a typical tech card, which I use against Jade Druids I am facing so often (They tend to keep at least one copy of Jade Idol in their hand and play it right after I use Azari, the Devourer to keep cycling and avoiding Fatigue). You can use Eater of Secrets if you face a lot of secret mages, Harrison Jones or another weapon removal, maybe even another copy of Dark Pact.
please check out my deck in my description and let me know what you think.. you are good at building decks.. the dark pact on rin is such a great idea.
Thanks for you comment, really appreciate it! I looked at you deck and I think Skull of the Man'ari is not a good card, adds randomness that you do not really need in this deck. I personally do not like Dirty Rat as well because so random, screws a match like 50 of the time as I have experienced. Adding two Doomsayer is great and will help you a lot if you use them wisely. Add Master Oakheart he truly shines in this deck, so so good.
As for Skulking Geist against Jade druid you play is asap an less you are really under pressure. If you meet a lot of Razakus priest so try The Darkness , they cant use their Raza and Kazakus with 3 candles in the deck.
Good luck
