Hearthstone - That other, other, other Blizzard game

I still play it, guessing Reh does as well. You need a list?

Yes please. Still have about 5k worth of dust to work with, need to come up with a game plan. Only have 1 giant so I have a long way to go.

Besides Control Warrior, Handlock is the most expensive deck to craft.

At a minimum you will need the 4xGiants, plus the rest of the handlock core.

You are looking for probably a Sylvan, a Loath and a Jaraxxus in terms of other legendaries, and a Dr Boom would be nive.

This is what I play right now:

Swappable cards: Dr Boom, Black Knight, Big Game Hunter, edit: second Siphon Soul.
Good alternatives: Sylvanas, second Mortal Coil, Second Hellfire, Mind Control Tech, edit: Faceless.
Dr Boom is too good right now so naturally he goes into Handlock as well.
Black Knight is there for the recent surge of Druids, Sylvanas was there prior.
Big Game Hunter is something I’ll probably take out soon since everyone is playing sub-7 attack decks, maybe for a Spellbreaker but who knows.

Some other cards I’ve seen played by others: Second Healbot, Zombie Chow, Ragnaros
I’ve tried double Healbot several times and it does more harm than good in every match up except Hunter and even then it’s barely ever needed. I usually use Healbot to stabilize after my Jaraxxus turn, killing something with his weapon and then healing.
No reason to play Ragnaros in my opinion, unnecessary to put yourself in XX% position when you have so many answers already
Zombie Chows are pretty clunky in standard Handlock in my experience, if you want to play a pair of these I suggest that you try Demon Handlock instead since your T4 is still consistent with that deck.

I finally got all the cards necessary to make a solid handlock (Alex version, not Jaraxxus version) and have played mostly it this season. I also started playing Hunter finally at the end of last season just to better understand how the class works. These combined with a zoo deck I threw together in the last 24 hours have me sitting just under rank 4 with 4 days to go in the season. I still am not confident in my Handlock play yet, as I struggle figuring out the right time to heal, the right time to remove, the right time to taunt/delay, but I’m getting better.

So many cards I wish I had right now. Really wanna try out a hobgoblin/token druid deck. Cards like ooze, annoy-o-tron, haunted creeper, imp master, micro machine, cogmaster, undertaker, plus the go-to token/buff cards sounds like fun to make work. I also still need about 5 legendaries that I don’t curently have: Antonidas, Dr. Boom, Rag, The Black Knight, Vol’jin, Others I’d like to have include Mal’Ganis, Grommash, Malygos, Jaraxxus, Cenarius, Geddon, Gallywix. Wish I had had the cash while that Android deal was going on.

Nice writeup there JuuM and you’re right, still playing handlock.

That’s the one I use at the moment, even though I change things pretty much on a daily basis.
Not using Jaraxxus at the moment, way too many Jones’ around.
Was never a big fan of the card anyway, just not on good terms with big, red demons.
Zombie Chows are a must-have to me, without them against hunter… ugh.

Switching cards like Darkbomb/Hellfire/Coil etc. a lot, deck just never feels right.

Agree with Saitsu, I just don’t have the cards or the dust to do that.

Right now, Ironbark has actually been saving my ass quite a bit.

Wow thanks for all the feedback. I have a full control warrior deck. Running sjow list right now -Alex +ysera. Just net decked it to give it a shot. If I run @reh‌ list I’ll only need to craft the 3 giants. @JuuM‌ would just add jaraxxus to the mix.

I thought be handlocks would run mal’ganis (I’m out of the loop big time this season) so it won’t be as pricey as I thought. I could actually make it plus Alex.

Not too keen on Alex or Alex + combo anymore, The nerf to Soulfire and addition of Belchers made me stray away from both.
Jaraxxus gives you that inevitability in a lot of the control/midrange match ups. Spending a lot of resources on T7 and 8 just to set up a strong Jaraxxus turn often wins you the game outright.
Ragnaros + another 6 drop seems fine as a win condition if you play no Jaraxxus but you have to play accordingly.

Good news, Undertaker will only get +1 attack. Bad news, Dr Boom will still be dumb.

Wow… I was waiting for that to happen. 2 health makes the card… Pretty bad.

For a 1 drop, its fine though

Be happy that he doesn’t cost 5 mana with that health. (I’ll never forget you sweet prince of birds :cry:)

Rogues will be really good now after the patch until Harrison is in every deck again cause that card is a balanced hate card.

Mech Hunter seemed really potent when I tried it as well so wouldn’t be surprised to see some of that post patch.

Yay, now we can dust Undertaker…oh wait…

Well, it needed to happen anyway. The blowouts were too much.

They’re holding the dust back intentionally, gotta heave in that e-sports dolla while they can!

Fools, everytime you nerf hunters, they come back stronger!

Come on…what could possible go wrong?

Secretkeeper hunter new meta :wtf:

You still gotta get through mech mage, the amount of face damage you’ll be taking to take control of the board and most importantly; CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA.
