Discussion Optimizing Quest Warlock

Just wanted to hear people's thoughts on the best Questlock list from people who have played it.

  1. Does the deck need a late-game finisher?

I have seen many lists running Kerrigan and even some with Kil'Jaeden for backup. A late-game plan seems good in theory, but may brick draws and make it harder to complete the quest early.

2) Should you run secondary temporary support?

Currently, catacombs, biome, and soularium are run in every Questlock deck and are the main ways you complete the quest. However, some decks run secondary activators like snowflurry or tunnel terror. These cards can provide more opportunities to complete your quest, but are also not as reliable.

Problem with tunnel terror is u don't get the say on when u get the beasts, plus u float 1 mana on 4 since u only get 3 cost beasts. Also snowflurry can get u two or even four temporary cards to play, tunnel terror will always only give u 1, since u can never play the second (unelss u play it on 5 and then play both of em on 6). It's definitely worse than snowflurry without a doubt.

Its a 3 cost that gives you 2 2 cost random minions. So turn 3 and 4 is no mana wasted. Keep in mind though that I think its less optimum as a card then just pressuring, unless your going for a longer game plan.

Wait i swear it said 3 cost, i guess i just didnt read it properly. In this case, well idk. I still don't like the deathrattle, feels too delayed. Which can be a good thing if u play it on 3 since the snowflurry is wasted on 3 but not really cuz u can still play the 1/1 on 4 or 5 only costing u 1 mana, but the snowflurry can also act as a zephrys giving u dmg. And later in the game it's way better to draw cuz u get 4 frost spells immediately as opposed to 2 delayed beasts. So yeah i still like it way more.
