So... Ratcatcher was one of the cards that I was most exiceted to try out. I figured he'd be staple in every cubelock as he a) popped cubes and b) created a body that could actually deal with whatever board the opponent would have. But... so far I've seen him used in little to no Cubelock decks! How come? Is Voodoo Doll a better option because it's more flexible? What's your thoughts on the card and if not in Cubelock, what decks could you see him fit into?
That's the question! I toyed around with a version of Cubelock that ran Sanguine Reavers for a while. It seemed like you consistently drew possibilities to pop cubes and Lackeys which I SOMETIMES (not often) find my self in need of. However, Ratcatcher being 3 mana isn't as "effective" as a one mana card, obviously, I just feel like Ratcatcher's effect is super fucking good in order to generate board pressure and an immediate response to the board.
I dunno why people were so optimistic about this Ratcatcher. Void Terror didn't see any play in warlock for ages, so why would this card? Certainly you wouldn't play it just for Rush cause it's not what warlock needs.
P.S. I suppose Void Terror is a demon thus it screws the whole deck badly.

I guess Void Terror interferes with both Gul'dan, Lackeys and Skull of Manari which makes it quite terrible. But I see your point.

Cubelock has a luxury problem atm. to many good cards, ratcatcher has no space atm. whats your suggestion to cut for it?!

I tried it once, than dusted all of my warlock/cubelock cards (except cube itself) and regretted ever playing that cancer
Don't mind me just passing by
