A Dispatch from Witchwood: What to Expect from the Upcoming Meta
If they made Dark Pact 2 mana, Warlock could just run something like Sanguine Reveler/Ratcatcher to activate its deathrattles, plus there’s that new 1 mana spell that can activate Possessed Lacky. I think that, if they were going to nerf cubelock, they’d have to do something to Lackey for it to be truly effective.
Curse of Weakness
Maybe in a Genn Warlock deck, but I doubt that deck will be better than Cubelock, and Cubelock doesn’t really need to play it. This might be a decent card after the Year of the Mammoth rotates to Wild, but for now, I think it’s really overrated.
Dollmaster Dorian
This is a really fun card. Nothing broken comes to mind immediately, but I expect it to see heavy experimentation.
WANTED!
The dumbest combo I can think of is Kobold Illusionist with Malygos in your hand + Wanted, which puts a 1/1 Maly on the field and gives you a coin, which you can then combo with some cheap damage spells for an alright amount of bust damage. This is slightly better then just playing Malygos, since you have 3 mana to use for an OTK. The highest amount you could get right now would be 40, assuming a perfect turn (Sudden Strike x2, Coin, Razorpetal, Preparation Eviscerate x2). Would you ever be able to do that consistently? Of course not. But, luckily for you, Rogue tends to not have minions in the hand. Losing the Curator sucks for this though.
Duskfallen Aviana
It’s just too easy to remove. Aggro decks might not be able to remove it, and they benefit less from the effect, but against aggro you don’t need to kill them with the Malygos combo, since you can just run them out of resources. And if they can’t get rid of a 3/7, they definitely can’t remove a 4/12. Control decks are where you really care about the OTK, and Control decks WILL have a way to remove this card, and their removal has the potential to be FREE the next turn.
At least Temporus is guaranteed to give you 2 turns, even if it dies…
Cathedral Gargoyle
I’m so glad classes other than Priest are getting Dragon synergy! Even if this never sees play, it’s a good sign.

Maybe it’s considered too inconsistent? Then again, Big Priest was super common and that isn’t exactly the king of consistency…

I think it’s pretty funny that the player named RenoJackson… isn’t running any Reno decks
Witching Hour
Two things come to mind: First, Charged Devilsaur can go face. Secondly, Hadronox is a beast. If you run a bunch of taunts that AREN’T beasts (so no Grizzled Guardian or Witchwood Grizzly unfortunately) you could bring back all your taunts a bunch of times (turn 10 Hadronox+Naturalize, then after most of your taunts die you do Witching Hour + Carnivorous Cube or something). Is it a strong enough late game to stand against Guldan? I dunno. Maybe?
Chameleos
Could be good, but I feel like this is meme material mostly. Shifter Zerus never really saw play so idk about this one. It does have advantages over Zerus, to be fair. The real question is, if you’re playing control priest, do you have room for this card?
Deathrattle Priest OTK (Witchwood experiment)
It’s incredibly stupid but I’m going to try something like it on release. At the very least it’ll take opponents off guard… by how dumb it is haha

I really hope that Jades rotating will make way for Astral Tiger taunt druid
Deathrattle Priest OTK (Witchwood experiment)
-1 Faceless Manipulator
+1 TEMPORUS
Okay it’s stupid, but probably the only way you can make this 2 turn combo work. Obsidian Statues plus Amara helps you survive into the late game to get your combo pieces and lock your opponent out of doing lethal in 2 turns.
The Mossy Horror combo will probably be too slow, but I think it’s something I’ll experiment with. The Lich King is good, and going with some more old school Handlock cards could be cool too. Honestly not sure how I feel about Summoning Portal, I guess it helps abuse Glinda but idk. Glinda might not even make the cut, and the Sea Giants will probably be the first to go.
Bloodbloom could be fun, but it doesn’t activate spellstone which kinda sucks.
