For a very short period of time, right before dark moon fair and Scholomance got rotated out, Control mill Warlock was actually very good. Tikatus made other control decks irrelevant and you had several win cons with Jaraxxus, Neeru, Malicia, and Rustwix duplication after Neeru. Worlds was full of control warlock. I don't remember if Neeru was played there but I do remember it seeing play in ladder.

One thing I find odd about the current rotation is that they tried to push Discard Warlock again with a few of the current core cards being ones revolving around the Discard mechanic, including High Priestess Jeklik.

I know this isn't with Wild in mind, but from a Wild perspective: -There has been some experimentation among some reputable offmeta players with the self-discard warlock, though it was very shortlived. Soul Rend found a home though in Evenlock/Reno Evenlock -Token DH, and by extension DH in general, has really struggled in Wild. There was some attention to it when Castle Nathria got released, but Druid just did the Denathrius strat better. -Shadow Hunter Vol'jin quickly became a center piece for Mecha'thunlock, though other variations quickly took its place once Runed Mithril Rod and Tome Tampering came in (though Tome Tampering as of this comment's date is banned in WIld now). -Trickster is not good in Wild, though I see that it's a big piece of Jackpot Burgle Rogue in Standard. -Overdraft is a very wild-worthy card. There are times where Spirit of the Frog Shaman builds will pop off, and this card is a big part of that deck, whether it's the pure burn, QL, or Giants Shaman. Same thing goes with Investment Opportunity. This is one of my favorite decks, gives me Miracle Rogue/Darkglarelock vibes.

Thanks for telling me this. I am not as familiar with the Wild meta as Standard so this is very interesting. Also I do love watching Dane do overdraft + spirit of the frog combos.

I think discard or self mill decks would probably be more powerful if Hearthstone had a easier to access graveyard mechanic. Having more consistent access to the cards you're binning is a much better pay off than some of the stuff Blizzard has tried imo

@mrchundo

Жыл бұрын

Yeah it's starting to feel like the design space of Hearthstone is running out if they don't add in a big shakeup like a graveyard. Dredge was a nice start.

Swiftscale trickster you didn't do justice. I regularly manage to pull off insane combos using swiftscale + jackpot. You can easily get cards like drakefire amulet out on turn 4, leading to a ridiculous board if you get lucky. Either you can get off a crazy spell or find something like nightshade bud and play crabatoa early when the opponent has almost nothing. Overall a very good card in my experience with a lot of cards which summon several powerful taunts coming from jackpot.
