I see that a lot of people are praising the warlock quest and I cant agree with this.

Warlock is my absolute favorite class, I have close to 3k wins with it and I have played every single archetype since beta. I love the nature of the class, using other resources than mana to gain advantage, sacrificing stuff to gain more power etc.

But I honestly think that the questline will fail in real ladder environment. In wild normal Darkglare lock is much better. In standard it wont be able to do so much self damage against all of aggro decks. In the theorycrafting streams they needed to play a lot of new cards and most of the streamers just wanted to try the new questlines. The warlock questline is obviously good against slower decks, but I dont think we will have a slower meta when the new expansion hits. So it will fail eventually.

Believe me, I will be happy if Im wrong about this, I just cant see a self-damaging strategy working in standard right now.

Sidenote: the hunter quest is overrated and the mage quest is underrated IMO.

 Just ask yourself the question: with these cards, do you have a crazy good winrate against aggro? Not counting self-damage of course. If the answer is yes then go for it. Or you can play regular controllock which beats slower decks anyways and since you are favored against aggro you can beat anything. Or you can include the questline to beat slower decks even more but you still dont have to fear aggro because you have so much healing.

Sorry for being sarcastic, but even if it works, this wont be the best version of warlock control in my opinion. And Im pretty sure it wont work.
