Experimental: The deck should be considered a work in progress.
StrifeCro is one of the few people rolling Reno Jackson into Warlock. The deck shares similarities with Handlock, but only contains one of each giant and taunt giver. The deck also leans on some demon synergy like Demonwrath, Voidcaller, and Mal'Ganis.
This deck actually climbed StrifeCro from rank 2 to legendary! You can watch the stream VOD here.
replacement for molten and mountain giant
Would be pretty difficult to play without those cards.
how good is this deck right now?
Preeeettty good.
Dont have Ragnaros some replacament? Ty ^^
Nefarian.
He also played a variant of this deck where he substituted the abusive sergeant for a second Molten and waited until he drew one to play Reno. Don’t know if it’s necessarily better than this version, but it seemed to work, as well.
Would a 2nd molten giant work over demonwrath?
Love This Deck!!!
So with a Reno Deck, I like to use the Brewmasters if possible. What do people think about replacing Abusive, Imp Gang Boss and Ancient Watcher with Youthful Brewmaster, Ancient Brewmaster and Faceless?
I’m missing Mal’Ganis and Jaraxxus what can I replaced for them
Ysera and Nefarian might work.
What’s a good replacement for Ragnaros? Ysera?
Ysera would work!
I’ll relace ooze witch harrison. What can i have in place of rag?
Loatheb or Sylvanas.
How important is Mal’Ganis in this deck?
could replace with ysera
He’s not as crucial to this deck as he is to other Warlock decks since there are only 4 other Demon cards even when counting Implosion as a Demon. Mal definitely lets you make some sick plays off of Imp Gang Boss and Implosion, and dropping him out of a Voidcaller is as devastating as ever, but I think you could get by without him.
That said, you may wanna cut Voidcaller if you aren’t running Mal’Ganis. Without him, the only Demons it’d pop out are Imp Gang Boss or Jaraxxus. Imp Gang Boss out of Voidcaller isn’t a strong enough play to warrant a Voidcaller on its own, and Jaraxxus out of Voidcaller can be good sometimes but a colossal waste other times.
I’m not sure what you’d fill the empty slots with; few cards replicate Voidcaller’s “stickiness” and the deck already includes a copy of the best one (Piloted Shredder). Likewise, there’s nothing that can mimic the way Mal’Ganis serves as both an alpha strike and as a quasi-taunt. You could try Piloted Sky Golem/Haunted Creeper for the former and Doomguard/Stormwind Champion for the latter, but those options seem janky by comparison. You might be better off just taking things in a different direction and putting in more control like Ysera/Sylvanas or leaving Voidcaller in and playing Doomguard or another fat Demon.
Either, Malganis can become dropped very fast – or Reno kills you by limiting taunt or with bad draw of a single Voidcaller.
Pretty nice deck so far.
