I've been finding discolock to be decent, but this is mostly a win more card. Since the portal costs 5 to play, the first turn you play it, it is just a worse Kara Kazham! After that you just get 2-health imps, which aren't too hard to deal with.
I very enjoy discolock with this quest right now at rank 7(climb from 21), the thing is that you don't need to do the quest at all cost, like throw soulfire to a 1/2 elemental (except pirate warrior), just try to hold the board your massive value minion will help alot ,the quest is just for late game vs control, taunt warrior, deathrattle priest and quest mage are examples ,or at some extend, shaman elemental (vs control, especially priest, the portal of discolock is like lord jaraxxus in reno, this card single-handly take any hope out of them). I still don't know why people don't play it much (guys please explain to me @@), because in my opinion, this card is a perfect part that discolock was missing before.
The problem is there are almost no control decks, so usually youre just wasting cards&time(for example turn 1) to play the quest.
A Zoo/Discard lock without the quest is much more effective vs eg rouge,schaman,warrior(YES,EVEN TAUNT WARRIOR IS MUCH EASIER) etc. After I stopped playing the quest I played like 10-1 until rank 10. (with Quest 20-20)
I don't know how but in my experience , I feel like I never can win vs taunt warrior and shaman elemental without the quest like you said, and in some fast matchup that I really need a turn 1 drop like rogue and pirate warrior, I choose not to mulligan to the quest and play like an original zoo. This is always an option and 1 card advantage is not a big problem in discardlock since you will discard it as long as you want. Can you explain more detail for me?

I agree. Alot of people act as if you have to drop the Quest on turn 1. I hardly ever do. I don't want to lose the early tempo that Zoo needs to be good. With it only costing 1 mana, it's easy to fit in somewhere later once you've taken board and are going to start discarding things...
I have no idea why people can't loose some aggressivity from zoo and make a midrange deck for the quest. The reward is absolutely amazing, usually can do it until Turn 7-8 and it can win the match pretty fast an easily.
I'm running this version of the deck. It has potential in every stage of the game. I'm still trying to make it better but it is fine now.
Anyone have a deck list that seems to work well with the Warlock Quest?
I've heard several streamers who seem to think it's really bad
.
I tried with zoo list, but than realized you need to pass half of your deck to get it, and than it is too late even against slow decks.

I like the quest, but Quest Rogue and Quest Hunter just poop on the deck hard.
