but I really don't think a "flood the board with tons of little cute things" type of theme fits the identity of warlock.
Actually, that fits a WoW Warlock all too well. Between the lore and the Demonology spec, Warlocks have a habit of summoning, a lot in terms of Demonology, which as far as cards are concerned in Hearthstone, there's way more Demonology based cards than there are Affliction/Destruction.
Tempo Mage is still very much alive, though I play a deck without Yogg and instead Ragnaros. Yogg Saron is fun, but he's not a trustworthy card IMO. Here's what I run.
As someone who just farms gold, I just want fast games. Not to say I'm using aggro decks, using a N'Zoth Rogue personally, but if my opening hand is bad, I may as well concede.
One of the cards that I will probably get bashed on. But Sigma, there aren’t that many Choose One cards now that Keeper of the Grove is gone and Druid of the Claw probably won’t be played,
I honestly believe that the Dark Arakkoa makes the Druid of the Claw obsolete when it comes to his taunt side. The Charge can still be quite useful though.
"MUST REMOVE, which will be hell for a lot of classes, and unlike Brann, even for priests, as 4 attack minions are practically immune to any priest shadow word Death shenanigans."
Well, Fandral Staghelm with 3/5 body (->Shadow word:pain), so you probably should correct part about 'even for priests" and "4-attack minions"...
I honestly don't know what happened there. I will correct it now.
I love this list, even if I don't agree with every choice (cult sorcerer). However, this thing is drought with errors. The priests thing, sinister strike as an honorable mention. I honestly expected more from you.
I corrected the mistakes. Honest mistakes happen, no?
Staghelm has 3/5 for 4, so the stats check out. Just because you are not sure what will your opponent be getting this card will be a MUST REMOVE, which will be hell for a lot of classes, and unlike Brann, even for priests, as 4 attack minions are practically immune to any priest shadow word Death shenanigans.
I think you had a brainfart and thought that Staghelm had 4 attack for a second. :P
Good list! I think it would be more interesting to explain the runner-ups as they are not as obviously powerful as these cards.
I wanted to analyse all 134 cards at first, but that would take too much time. I might make another one of the second 10 after these if there is enough interest.
I'd argue about that, frankly. I've started to see a LOT of Fandral Beast Druid playing, and Druid is still used.
Hell, I'm still seeing it used regularly alongside Fandral in C'thun Druid.

So, where do you find it? The link I mean.

Herald Volajz, hands down.
Velen sees play in Burst decks, Vol'Jin saw play when he was available, and Paletress still sees use in Control.
Volajz is just weird and doesn't really fit in anything atm.

For a second, I read the title as this would be the reward for this week's Tavern Brawl.
Should never read things to fast, kids, or you'll wind up as a dumbass like me.

Serious question.
I really, really don't care for the 4 mana 1/1 that turns into a 5/5 on death and value the body and effect of Tomb Pillager much more, personally.

Title.
I see a lot of Patron decks run Finley, but is there a 'tier list' of sorts for which Hero Power you want in Patron?

Again, why would DotC not be played?
1
What's your reasoning to say that DotC won't be used?
I see it in every C'thun Druid deck I play against, and they also run Fandral.
Perhaps you meant Ancient of Lore?

Oh, and Mech Mage.

Sylvanas is a solid choice all around.

Is he a keeper, or a gimmick that we'll probably drop in a week or so?
