Hi guys, recently I watched a few films on youtube of guys who were playing Handlock. I just want to create one by myself and it need to be very cheap (I know handlocks aren't but I saw one). And my question is: what's the core of Handlock? How to build without any legendaries? I have only 7 (5 from LoE, C'Thun and Greenskin) and don't have dust to create any.

Moved to Warlock forum.
Ancient Watcher is still playable in this deck? thought after Ironbeak Owl nerf it isn't. I don't have for now those Giants, Ancient Watcher and Sunfury Protector. What's the best way to get dust to craft them? Oh and I forgot about King Krush that I have.
Yeah it is, simply because its a cheap huge body you can taunt up with sunfury or argus. Silencing a watcher is not a good play generally speaking, only to finish the opponent off, so silence nerf didn't affect that. Silence and bgh nerf really buffed handlock minions, now drakes are getting value, giant can't be bghed just like that. Taunts don't get silenced.
To get dust you just win games, play a fast cheap deck like zoolock, do tavern brawls each week, if you are prolific in the game start doing arenas, its time consuming, but youll get the most dust from it. Watch Kripparian play arenas on stream, learn what cards to pick from arena tier lists, that you can find on the internet. Like King Krush is just too slow for a hunter, its not seen play in any decent hunter deck, you can easily DE it. Greenskin is basically only good in aggro warrior right now. Not needed if you dont play to play aggro warrior.
I met a Handlock at rank 6, while playing Miracle Rogue. He actually won the game, but now I'm rank 3, and he's rank 9 (I added him after the win, and congratulated him). Cudos for trying to make it work, but it's difficult.

Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.

I'm not a good player. I started playing rankeds for real 2 months ago and my best rank is 17 :/
Craft Mountains first, they are better than moltens at this point. And handlock ain't dead, its just after molten nerf, noone even tried basically to create a competitive deck thats gonna work. Noone even tried to play moltens again, cause on paper its bad, but in reality they are still pretty good. Im pretty positive I'll reach legend with my dragon handlock next season.

Ok, I'll craft Mountain Giant and I think I'll disenchant Greenskin for 2x Sunfury Protectors and 2x Ancient Watchers but still thinking.

Hey mate. Handlock is a pretty expensive deck out there. And it can pretty much work only if you got all the pieces.
The core of handlock are cards like Twilight Drake Mountain Giant Molten Giant Ancient Watcher Sunfury Protector Defender of Argus. I guess you are aware of Molten Giant nerf, so handlock is not in the best position right now.

I am playing Greenskin is Pirate Aggro Warrior and it's good.
With the nerf of owl and molten giant handlock is pretty much dead now, even if you try to sub them, you will get rekt by shamans in turn 5, sorry
But I'm not playing it very often and maybe I'm going to disenchant him too.

Also u can read my previous guide just to get a lil bit of understanding, although its old format, there you might find some good info

Is your deck still good? Maybe sometime I will be able to create something like that. Anyway, thank you for your help!
