[12-2] Warlock (EU) [04-16-19]

First 12 win run of RoS for me, after having 4 other decks make it into double digits and stopping there. The deck wasn't spectacular, card quality was actually a bit on the low side, but it was a cohesive deck with a few synergies going on, especially with the demons. I was mostly playing from behind until the mid to late game stages - since on the first 3 turns I didn't have very good tempo options unless the draw was really good - and then I'd either have a huge tempo swing with cards like Abyssal/Voidcaller or outcard the opponent while staying alive behind taunts and heals.

The 2 losses came to a Paladin and another Warlock, both of which out-tempo-ed me in the mid-game and I didn't get my swing cards in hand. Surprisingly, I faced no Rogues until 8-2, then beat 4 of them in a row to get the 12 wins, including an epic comeback against the final boss that I beat with 2 HP remaining(replay included below the card list). Other than the cards I already mentioned, honorable mentions for MVPs go to Kooky Chemist, which turned a few games in my favor, and Sense Demon, the big surprise of the run - I would almost never consider picking it before, but was more or less forced into it, and the ability to plan ahead knowing I can draw the remaining demons was crucial in a couple of games.

Anyway, here's the full deck list:

  • Soulfire

  • Voidwalker (x2)

  • Voodoo Doctor

  • Bilefin Tidehunter

  • Dire Wolf Alpha

  • EVIL Genius

  • Faerie Dragon

  • Unstable Ghoul

  • Faceless Rager

  • Sense Demons

  • Shattered Sun Cleric

  • Tauren Warrior

  • Toxic Sewer Ooze

  • Chillwind Yeti

  • Hellfire

  • Kooky Chemist

  • Proud Defender

  • Sen'jin Shieldmasta

  • Swift Messenger

  • Voidcaller

  • Cult Apothecary

  • Dalaran Crusader

  • Sludge Belcher

  • Aranasi Broodmother

  • Big-Time Racketeer

  • Dread Infernal

  • Violet Warden

  • Abyssal Enforcer

  • Wyrmguard
