 About this deck:

They said that the new quest for the Warlock class is too slow and does not have enough removal or value. This deck proves them wrong. So this new quest called Supreme Archaeology will give you the reward of a free cost card after you life tap for 2 health. This includes the follonwing:

- you must have a huge live pool to get to this new hero power: at least 6 turns of life tapping, so you need ways to get 12 health points plus the damage you take from your opponents early game minions. This will be achieved by the following cards: [Hearthstone Card (Arasani Broodmother) Not Found], Zilliax (try to magnetize it with a Mechanical Dragon you get from Mechanical Whelp), Khartut Defender, Siphon Soul 

- you must have at least 10 extra cards in the deck so that the quest reward will not only give the the tempo back but also the value. This is done with the Augmented Elekk + Plot Twist combo, be sure you play this combo in every match - it is essential, otherwise your quest reward is quite useless and you missed the point of this deck ;-)

- there is a way to go infinite with Dr. Morrigan and the Augmented Elekk + Plot Twist combo, if you have that combo, then stop tapping for free cards.

- if you face very agressive decks try to finish your quest with [Hearthstone Card (The Solarium) Not Found] + Plot Twist combo, this should enable you to finish your quest on 6 or 7.

The hidden star of this deck is Expired Merchant. Usually you play this card to double Twisting Nether or Fel Lord Betrug. Do not play this card until you have either of them in your hand, you want to double one of those cards. After you doubled them, shuffle 4 of them in your deck with the Augmented Elekk and Plot Twist combo. Keep an eye on your hand size when you played one - do not tap too much, otherwise you will overdraw!
Also, this trick of saving cards works very well with Arch-Villain Rafaam. Play Expired Merchant and discard a Twisting Nether then play Arch-Villain Rafaam to transform your cards into legendaries. When the Expired Merchant dies you will get 2 full board clears back - which is very usefull when you only have legendaries as a ressource. This trick also works with any other card - and you even get 3 of them back with Soulwarden.

After finishing your quest (and maybe already have played your Impbalming card) you can go for max value pressure with legendaries from Arch-Villain Rafaam. Only do this if you are in late game against Control Warriors. For all other control matchups you want that Twisting Nether. And Twisting Nether. And this beautiful animation from Twisting Nether. Yes - you guessed it right, and another Twisting Nether, just to show absolute dominance hehe

How to play this deck and some tipps:


Always keep Plot Twist in your starting hand if you have it. Try to find it as soon as possible, this card is the key card to finish your quest. If you twist for the first time only do it with [Hearthstone Card (The Solarium) Not Found] or an Augmented Elekk on board. Questing Explorer is also a keep, everything else can be tossed.

Since we are in meta day 3 there is no sense to talk about winrates.
