This is a great deck! Very fun and thought provoking -- a nice break from all the mindless aggro on ladder. These games are LONG so not the best to ladder with if you are going for fast legend.
I really wish there was a way to fit in the Kodorider but everything in the deck is too good to replace and man oh man were you right about Flash Heal! That card gets you out of some sticky situations for sure. :)
Great deck! I have to admit I was 50/50 on Wilfred Fizzlebang (I know my luck and he will 90% of the time be the last or within the last 5 cards of my deck), but after running a few games with him I am really impressed! Great addition to HandLock and a great deck to start it out :)
I think it really comes down to the person behind the computer. If you have the time and dedication you can grind your collection and that is fine and dandy.
Other folks (myself included) simply don't have time to grind that out and would rather just pay to stay competitive in a game we love. Either way is fine as long as you keep things in check and don't go overboard for your personal situation. If you have the money, great, if you don't, use time as your currency instead. Basically just don't go broke over a game.
For me I have put about $2,000 (including TGT money set aside) into it but also have all the cards from every set including full golden decks and am not bothered in the least by this as the time it has saved me is far more valuable.
Region: NA -- GMT-5 (EST) Usual Play Times: Randomly through the day but usually afternoon. Level of Experience: Advanced -- I have hit legend but only managed to get to the 300's. Preferred Heroes: Any control or combo deck is my preference but really love the ol' classic Wallet Warrior. I’m Looking For: I haven't really ever taken the friend list seriously until they started getting into quests which require it. Mostly for quests but a good chit chat here and there is fun too. :) Tell us something about you: I have been playing HS since alpha and have enjoyed it immensely. I do have every card and am working to complete the collection in gold, albeit a bit far away at the moment. I don't play a ton, but when I can I am almost always on ladder playing my own decks and love building fun and odd decks to try on ladder to spice things up! :)
I used a variation of Gang Up mill rogue with Betrayal in the deck for the giants that did come out. By the time Ragnaros the Firelord came out I was ticking 13 dmg fatigue with 8 Coldlight Oracle's. It was close admittedly with me on only 2 hp left but end turn mill damage killed him. Pretty fun :)
The big thing was to try to get it so his HP was at 20 or above until the milling began so he couldn't get giants out and basically became hand-locked burning his other cards.
If you could actually disenchant adventure cards when you get the golden versions it would make it even better but I think 2 adventures + 1 expansion a year is pretty solid or maybe even 3 adventures and 1 expansion so something new is coming out every quarter to keep it fresh but not leave everyone behind who is crafting their cards yet.
Awesome deck and killer synergy with death rattle minions and it is nice to play a deck that is effective without having to herp derp face every game. On the topic of death rattle synergy, have you thought about utilizing Sneed's Old Shredder instead of Ragnaros the Firelord? It would be a turn 10 combo but you can get some absolutely bonkers drops from it. Just a thought but overall, awesome deck :)
Have you thought about Edwin VanCleef for this deck? He is fairly good and to get value out of him only requires one extra card to get a 4/4 for 3. Just curious on your thoughts :)
This deck is CRAZY strong except in a mirror match. Those can be pretty long matches but they are fun either way. Great deck! I really didn't think the Wolfrider would play a big part but it has come in handy a ton of times.

I would love to see a Priest build. Hard to find a solid one and I think they need to have a comeback!

I don't have Cairn or Black Knight so I swapped with Illidan and Hogger and it is working great! Awesome deck :)
