Spiteful got me to 5 today. I've tried just about every other deck and they seem to struggle. There was a Control Mage on here that worked pretty well off and on. And of course, I used Control Lock a few times because of the meta changing each day. Took me a while. I'll check how many games I played. But I lost a lot of games playing the other decks. I mean there were the biggest losing streaks I've ever seen.
I also tried Big Priest, does ok, but can struggle against control.
I even tried tech cards, but learned that the best build is the default with 2 x kabal talonpriest and 2x of the 2/2 give a minion +1/+1 guys.
You just cannot out value the spells, stealing, and early board control the deck offers. It takes some practice but out performs the rest.
So your saying cubelock is the best deck to climb with?
That was the question from OP.
I didn't say you can't climb with cubelock, but it is not the best deck in my opinion.

Aggro pala, Control lock, spiteful or control priest
I’m considering aggro paladin at the moment just wasn’t real sure
Tried Dude Paladin. I think I may have had the worst luck. Lost so many times to BS and shenanigans. I won a few games with equality, but otherwise you get so beat up quick that it's most the time just concede. Here's what would happen -
- get out valued on board and could never come back. (couldn't draw equality)
- no healing (just dead too quick)
- Big minion to deal with (can't expect to keep Tarim in opening hand, and if not you won't draw him or have a board when you do)
- If you keep Divine Favor, you almost always draw the second one before you can use it. If you discard it, you get it too late or never.
- mirror match, not much skill here, just card draw.
There isn't much skill in this deck. Only when you have knife juggler on board, then you just have to play/trade the board clear.
The only times you lose against this deck are when you don't have a board clear. Most decks play around 4 or more.
To be clear I'm using my own "Voidlord-factory" cube deck which excludes the Doomguards alltogether so it leans towards the control veresion. It just has everything! Mountain Giants are your big beaters which can be duplicated and triplicated with cubes and Manipulators. Hellfires, Defiles and Doomsayers clear aggro. Voidlords, Guldan and N'zoth protects you and adds huge late game value. And as said before it has it's counters and it can be beaten but for me it is the best and most versatile deck to play. Seldom I have a feeling that a match up is unwinnable after the Raza nerf.
I play the same deck only with doomguards and without mountain giants.
I am a quirky kind of player, so my words cannot be taken too seriously, but I hate randomness to the bone! If pitted against aggro I 100% must get a Voidlord out with a Possessed Lackey it hurts my very soul not knowing which of the demons it'll summon. For me knowing it will be Void-Daddy every single time is honey to my heart and I'll gladly let the Giants do the beating :P
I prefer dumping my hand as fast as possible with so much paladin on the ladder. I rarely but sometimes find myself in the position of not pulling anything from lackey i don't know if 2 voidlords are too few demons in your deck to get the much needed combo off. I played a Spitefull priest with 2 mind controls and my experience was underwhelming to be honest.

Spiteful Priest is a tough matchup, but you can play around them. The keys are to have more than 2 Voidlord's. Use Faceless' or discover them from your Stonehill's. And, whenever possible, I will save dark pact to kill off my voidlords. Get them back with Gul'Dan, and again with N'Zoth.
Its probably the funnest matchup because it requires some thought. Playing against aggro is so easy it almost seems unfair, and against secret mage its almost an auto concede.

I love playing vs control locks with my spiteful priest. They have so many valuable cards to steal with Drakonid OP it's crazy, I could turn myself into a warlock late game by stealing a couple of their Voidlords and a DK. Stealing Twisting Nether also helps a lot after they resummon all their minions. I'm currently 17/2 vs various breeds of control locks as of this moment (rank 2).
Basically, it helps to have silence on turn 4 (especially when starting second) vs many decks. Stats are much worse, but you get to silence on turn 4 without using coin or just having a cheaper card to play late-game in conjunction with something like Spiteful Summoner.
So in your opinion cubelock is the best deck? Even this shows me right, cubelock is not a good choice for best deck.
nope, I don't think cube lock is the best deck, just annoying. I was only curious to understand what for you were the other 11 decks better that cube lock...

aggro pally does not run equality....
-:)
Dudeadin often runs one copy of it for trading with 1/1s
How does Big Priest do in later ranks? Climbing early ranks was so easy, that I needed to take a shower after about an hour of playing it.

funny all those rankings...
You people who judging what I said about cubelock not being a good choice.
But what OP asked was best Deck, to climb and was saying he's having trouble with doing it with cubelock.
Cubelock is not a good choice for best deck to climb with. Anybody saying it is..... Is fooling themselves.
I have done Legend with this anti-aggro version of Control Warlock :) give it a try :)

I'm using a very greedy version of spiteful priest with Medivh and Zola with great success, rank 2 with 3 stars at the moment and climbing!

Control lock with lots of early game bullshit like Doomsayer, Dirty Rat, Defile to piss off all the aggro mages.
Then some late-game big guns like Rin + Medivh, N'Zoth, Bloodreaver Loldan.
Secret Mage.
