Have you faced this deck?

Submitted 4 years, 2 months ago by

Yesterday in wild casual I faced a warlock deck I'd never seen before but it was quite interesting and semi-unbelievable imo. It seemed like an almost zoolock like shell that revolved around tapping into Expired Merchant and having no other cards higher than 5 mana except for Cruel Dinomancer so that it is always the guaranteed draw. What happens is that unless you are running a silence or transform effect you will eventually face up to 4 Dinomancers that can't be removed since they instantly rez each other upon death.

    Aye, it's been around for a while now, but it never reached serious meta viability (too vulnerable to Aggro and Burn), so it doesn't really appear that often.

    I actually pilot the deck often, since last expansion, and I can confirm its it's really fun, especially if you throw in a Spiritsinger Umbra. The only problem with it is it's vulnerability to aggro, and you can just not draw the combo sometimes, but the games where you do, it's really fun. If the meta becomes more greedy, it's possible that the deck could be viable.

    Seems pretty cool anyway haha. Can't believe I never have run into it until now. It really reminds me of the original Dreadsteed Lock decks pre-nerf to the Dreadsteed.

    Never actually seen it, but it's just another type of cheese. The kind of deck that looks unbeatable on the rare occasion it actually gets the right cards, but three games out of four they'll be conceding without putting up any real fight.
