Makes me wish they had the no-duplicate legendaries, first 10 packs guarantee in place and were this generous in MSoG and Un'Goro.
Getting just Genzo, the Shark and two copies of Lakkari Sacrifice on their set's respective opening day REALLY SUCKED. Knights was much, much better with the new rules in place and Blizzard giving away bonuses and such in the weeks heading up to it.
/OMG, will Lakkari Sacrifice finally be worth playing in this expansion?

Renolock works in wild because of healbot, reno, and general anti-aggro cards. There's no point of running a higlander deck in standard, since you only get kazakus. Mage and priest are much better options for playing the higlander strategy in standard because they can survive against aggro, so the reno isn't as core to the deck as it is for warlock.
If you're trying to do well with control warlock in standard, don't run a highlander list. Control warlock doesn't struggle against control, it struggles against aggro. Just keep the consistency of running double tar creeper, doomsayer, hellfire etc
This deck is awful. But if you want to have fun, go for it.

The math from the 85 is from the 80 cap that patron and defile have, along with the initial juggles you get from those minions you play.
It's complicated, but it's definitely playable.

Holy shit this card in wild warlock.
Knife Juggler > Grim Patron > Possessed Villager > Deathspeaker on Knife Juggler > Defile
85 Juggles, 5 cards, 13 mana. And that 13 mana can be easily reduced by emperor, which is ran in every slow warlock deck anyways. And renolock will likely be running Possessed Villager + Defile from now on too.

No, that's not how you use this card in wild. Let me show you how.
Juggler > Patron > Possessed Villager > Deathspeaker(Name of the card) on Juggler > Defile
85 Juggles, 5 cards, 13 mana. And that 13 mana can be easily reduced by emperor, which is ran in every slow warlock deck anyways. And renolock will likely be running Possessed Villager + Defile from now on too.

They were playing 84D Hungry Hungry Hippos all along.

It's a thoughtsteal that gives you one more card for 2 more mana.

I think that the card is fake, but not for that reason. Hearthpwn can't format these cards perfectly, they have to do a makeshift design. Especially with how shitty the quality of the Jaina art is and the fact that we haven't had the border design for mages drop in high definition.

For all of you who may be upset that it's 2 weeks until further card reveals, just thing about how wild the card reveals will be once the 24th hits. 130 cards that they have to reveal in 1-2 weeks, that will be crazy HYPE.

For those asking about Malygos, note that in the Karazan meta the deck also had living roots and thuarissan, so the potential burst was MUCH higher than the 12 you can get atm
