I love warlock. Some of my favorite effects involve discarding other cards. There are various types of discarding cards but I want to ask about Expired Merchant.
( I am making a huge assumption that Shriek or Reckless Diretroll basically work the same way except for targeting the highest card in hand, Shriek and Reckless Diretroll target the lowest.)
Here is my Scenario:
I have Expired Merchant in hand along with Cruel Dinomancer and Reno Jackson. Assuming no other card is greater than 5 mana in hand which card will be chosen? Is this random? Is the card that is Alphabetical first/last? Does it target the cards from left to right or right to left. Does it choose the card based on which card set came first? Is there any rhyme or reason once two cards are of the same mana level in hand? Do I have to play Reno to order to guarantee that Cruel Dinomancer is selected?
Is this mechanical process the same when dealing with discarding your lowest and highest cost cards?
1. First, this deck is called an aggro deck but loses tempo with Sense Demons and Lakkari Sacrifice. I am not saying that you drop the quest but I would suggest dropping Sense Demons because it is too slow.
2. Drop Lord Jaraxxus because the card is extremely risky to play. Lord J. is currently a dead card. I love him and he was absolutely my favorite Hearthstone card but Blizzard has murdered the card beyond any redemption. Why? Well, if you are playing against any Highlander/Renolock deck of ANY class type then they will most likely have Zephrys the Great and once you play Lord Jaraxxus they can kill you instantly because Zephrys the Great will produce a Sacrificial Pact.
3. Millhouse Manastorm is a liability card and should not be played in any deck.
While I love the idea of Lakkari Sacrifice the card can be a bit slow however I haven't written it off as a lost cause. I might consider replacing Howlfiend with Reckless Diretroll because this deck doesn't contain a Treachery and Diretroll allows you to control what you discard or another option is to include Faceless Manipulator because of it works really well with your Doomguard and another replacement card suggestion listed below.
Thank you for sharing your feelings with this community. Sometimes, the community can be harsh so thank you for your openness. I am hearing that you have lost interest in hearthstone. To that end, it's okay. It is just a game. It's not a person and taking a break isn't breaking any moral or ethically considerations.
That being said I heard you when you said, "I'd appreciate any tips for some decks you guys have success with as nothing I came up seems to work."
I wanted to present to you a deck that I always play the first three days of any new expansions. It is a one card deck called Whizbang the Wonderful. If you have any real-life friends that play Hearthstone you only need one person to have the card and then you both can battle against each other with the same deck (randomly generates decks). I played against my dad and it was great. Also, I started at standard rank 20 and now I am at rank 18. That is where I get my fun from.
Regarding which cards are currently seen as the best craft I would recommend one of these two lists from HSReplay.net:
Whizzbang cannot rotate out easily, because recipes are standard only decks that will find no place in wild. If Whizzbang goes to wild, he will be more useless then Milhouse Manastorm. Either they move Whizzbang to classic (and we still need to replace Ragnaros and Sylvanas), or they start making recipes for wild format. I bet they'll choose the first.
Brightwing and Whitemane wants to talk with you. But you are right that Whizbang would be useless, when he is rotating out.
I disagree with both of you. Whizbang will always be wonderful.
Even if Whizbang the Wonderful is moved from standard to wild he would still serve a very niche purpose. If you have friends that love standard and want to check out new standard decks but can't afford to fork over tons of cash or game coin then both players can battle against each other in wild format using Whizbang the Wonderful. That being said I do hope they rescue him from the wild format.
I was playing The Dalaran Heist when I ran across this boss with the picture that states [PlaceHolder]. Its kind of cool to see another version of Nozari. I wonder who is the artist? Well, I guess your artwork is no longer a Placeholder but is the real deal. It's live!
What do you guys think about this placeholder? Does anybody know the artist?
(This was also an attempt to upload picture. I give up. I don't know how to add the darn picture.)
I wanted to say thank you to Blizzard and to OoC. It's been a long time since I have won anything from anywhere. I was shocked and surprised to hear that I was among the 5 lucky ones. I appreciate you all.
To answer the prompt:
I am still excited about the ramifications of Plague of Murlocs on Wild however I will be eagerly hoping for the "perfect card" in Zephrys the Great. I am still most excited about queuing into a priest rez deck with Plague of Murlocs in hand.
I do believe that OOC deserves the benefit of the doubt. Also, one shouldn't spam their comments... feels like a toddler throwing a fit. There will be 5 winners and then the rest of us. That is fine because that's not really what this website is about. At least, I hope it isn't becoming about freehand outs. Furthermore, if they had a closed giveaway for the Mods, I would be okay with that because they work really hard. OOC would not need to go to such desperate and misleading measures to celebrate the good work of those who help this community.
To those who doubt OOC, I say look at their track record.
I really wish that HSReplay.net was easier to use. I have had difficulty in the past using Hearthstone Deck Tracker so when Hearthpwn came out with InnKeeper it was a great relief on how simple and easy it was to take Hearthstone decks and load it into InnKeeper. It was automatic! I believe that this partnership between OOC and HSReplay was a good step but there should be a dedicated section of this website dedicated to helping its members in understanding how to upload decks into HSReplay. This section could be referenced by others when it comes up in discussions (which it inevitability will.)
Edit: I had an earlier version of HSReplay.net and I re-downloaded it. Once I figured out how to sync my collection with "Collection uploading" things became much easier for me. I think HSReplay.net has greatly improved their app from previous versions.
I love the flavor of this card. It seems like this could be slow but I like the concept of hurting yourself warlock. Its flavor is right but I don’t think it will be mainstream.
I love this card because it creates a wonderful silence bate situation for your opponent. It synergizes with discard decks and the discard can be aimed. This is a strong card which I am a little fearful that it will be nerfed but I love cards that help discard warlock type.
I love how this card both synergizes with other shaman cards and completely hurts resurrect priest and lopsided decks that I feel are not fun. Murloc decks are fun. This card pushes toward a more fun meta.
"To witness the harmony of arctic Elementals from Jaina and fiery Elementals from Reno."
I love your description. Especially the arctic part. :)
Watermelon86,
I think you won the internet with this deck. Good work!

"I always appreciate suggestions to improve my decks."
Hello SirHerpDerp,
I have a few suggestions for this deck.
1. First, this deck is called an aggro deck but loses tempo with Sense Demons and Lakkari Sacrifice. I am not saying that you drop the quest but I would suggest dropping Sense Demons because it is too slow.
2. Drop Lord Jaraxxus because the card is extremely risky to play. Lord J. is currently a dead card. I love him and he was absolutely my favorite Hearthstone card but Blizzard has murdered the card beyond any redemption. Why? Well, if you are playing against any Highlander/Renolock deck of ANY class type then they will most likely have Zephrys the Great and once you play Lord Jaraxxus they can kill you instantly because Zephrys the Great will produce a Sacrificial Pact.
3. Millhouse Manastorm is a liability card and should not be played in any deck.
If you remove both Sense Demons, Lord Jaraxxus andMillhouse Manastorm you have 4 card slots that need to be filled.
While I love the idea of Lakkari Sacrifice the card can be a bit slow however I haven't written it off as a lost cause. I might consider replacing Howlfiend with Reckless Diretroll because this deck doesn't contain a Treachery and Diretroll allows you to control what you discard or another option is to include Faceless Manipulator because of it works really well with your Doomguard and another replacement card suggestion listed below.
I would recommend cards like x2 Soulwarden, High Priestess Jeklik, and to replace Lord Jaraxxus you could go Bloodreaver Gul'dan because of the Doomguard and perhaps the Faceless Manipulator that may have been included.
I will stop there and I will conclude by saying, Discard Warlock is a fun archetype in the right meta and right now isn't a bad time.
Thank you for producing the great numbers of decks that you make and I don't want to discourage you from the content that you are creating.
Keep making those decks at god speed! ;)

I disagree with both of you. Whizbang will always be wonderful.

OOC,
I really wish that HSReplay.net was easier to use. I have had difficulty in the past using Hearthstone Deck Tracker so when Hearthpwn came out with InnKeeper it was a great relief on how simple and easy it was to take Hearthstone decks and load it into InnKeeper. It was automatic!

This is what I will be crafting!
Dear OOC mods,
Please include the answer to this revealed mystery: Zephrys the Great
Thanks a million!
This excellent removal works well with Lord J. on turn 10
Thank you Esparanta for all the good decks you make.
Dear Blizzard and OOC community,
I feel the need to give my top 5 cards with number 1 as my favorite. Keep in mind that I am a wild player.
#5 Diseased Vulture
I love the flavor of this card. It seems like this could be slow but I like the concept of hurting yourself warlock. Its flavor is right but I don’t think it will be mainstream.
#4 [Hearthstone Card (Frighten Flunky) Not Found]
It’s shaggy
#3 BEEEES!!!
I love the flavor of this card. This is great! Very nature and will allow easy kill offs hurt 1 hp minions
#2 Expired Merchant
I love this card because it creates a wonderful silence bate situation for your opponent. It synergizes with discard decks and the discard can be aimed. This is a strong card which I am a little fearful that it will be nerfed but I love cards that help discard warlock type.
#1 Plague of Murlocs
I love how this card both synergizes with other shaman cards and completely hurts resurrect priest and lopsided decks that I feel are not fun. Murloc decks are fun. This card pushes toward a more fun meta.
I hope the flavor text is something like "Don't touch me, I'm a real live wire
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?"
