    Hey Almaniarra, I noticed that you made this deck a week ago which was before the SoU final reveal stream, I wanted to ask what would you replace for Zephrys the Great because I most likely would think you'd want to run him after seeing what he could do!

    For me, I think the only quest I would hate to receive (and it pains me to say this) is Supreme Archaeology and Warlock is my favorite class to play :( 

    I honestly am not certain if a deck with Plot Twist can fully utilize it's potential as of right now

    Hey Menelder

    I noticed your decklist from the forum post you made recently, and I built a similar decktype. I wanted to ask if you think the deck will have enough Life gain? of course the overall premise of self damage warlock is to take damage but you necessarily don't want to be too low. in terms of health gain your only card that offer it is Lord Jaraxxus and that won't be til turn 9. I know zoolock don't typicaly care about healling but with so many self damage cards I personally would worry about being killed early by my  opponent with no way of gaining it back. Do you have any thoughts about that?

    Hey so during Rise of Shadows I was using the Hpwn for saving my deck lists for Hearthstone, but I specifically remember on the Day of the expansion (Naturally) the site was very slow or non-responsive due to the Influx of traffic on the site.

    I switched over here about a two weeks ago and wanted to ask If Out of cards is going to receiving any slow downs during the Opening day of the expansion and if so Is there anything you guys can do in preparation for it?

    Oh I see, Yes! I do believe in my opinion it is necessary, this deck is definitely a more swarming type of deck with tons of reload, Your opponents that run big taunts will be a problem for the deck, Toxfin makes it so you can remove their threats more efficiently, I know that having toxfin might be a consistency problem but I don't think you want to sacrifice tempo to get your quest reward online early. I could think about removing another 1 attack card but I don't think it would be Toxfin

    no thats not what it means I think it means that it would offer you a card from the whole Basic and classic collection

    I think it's crazy that the secret you draw just stays at zero mana, like when I first saw it on stream I thought it was "It costs (0) this turn" but this is way more powerful, the two obvious synergies from this set are Arcane Flakmage and Cloud Prince

    Turn two play Ancient Mysteries turn 3 playArcane Flakmage and the zero cost secret to almost always clear your opponents board.

    very good card against flood decks reminds me of a proactive Rabble Bouncer I think you'd want to play this in a deck where you also flood the board because it says "each minion" not just enemies

    If you combine the stats on the cards it's a 6/7 for 4 mana with a minor requirement. I think this card is pretty good but it will be hard to say where this card goes into druid

    I definitely not a bad card, I honestly thought the weapon warrior deck wouldn't get cards in the late game but I was wrong, I think this pushing into another direction (control) that I don't think will work as well

    It's a slightly worse Nerubian Egg but I think it will definitely have a spot in egg zoo for sure

    This card is pretty sweet, a 5 mana 5/5 with an end of turn effect that can't just be ignored. Against many Aggro deck this will be a number 1 priority to kill. This card basically has taunt. I think it will be seen in either zoo priest or control Priest type decks

    Man, just came back from the Stream Zephrys the Great seems like such a cool card that the Blizzard team designed. I would really like to see like a Behind the scenes of how the process of making this card came about. A card that reads the situation and give you the best 3 options (From the Basic and Classic set) for you to choose. If this card consistently works the way they have explained it It will easily be one of the best cards they have ever made.

    NOW from the Standard point of view I have to play a bit of Devil's advocate. Will Reno-style decks make it into the competitive meta? There is no doubt in my mind that Zephrys the Great is an amazing card but will he (and the other reno style Legendary) be enough in standard to become competitively viable? My guess is yes but we'll have to wait and see

    I was hoping that the Lackey generator for warlock would be a bit more spicy but all in all It's a pretty decent card. Discovering a Lackey is going to be useful obviously for Dark Pharaoh Tekahn and just for zoo in general I hope Warlack ends up becoming a good deck

    I think the quest requirement for this card is very minor, Rogues have so many ways to generate cards from another class, with cards like Pilfer, Blink Fox, and Hench-Clan Burglar are already run in a Thief Rogue decklist. We also have the two new cards from this expansion that will help with it, Pharaoh Cat and Bazaar Mugger. I think the hero power is pretty decent overall, not crazy strong but just enough power. The problem currently is that it has anti-synergy with Spectral Cutlass. Yes a 3/2 weapon that makes you immune while attacking is nice to have but it doesn't offer any sustain which many Rogue lack. I'm going to make the prediction that it won't probably be as impactful

    the quest reward obviously looks good, I'm interested to see how the card plays out in priest. One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is you might want to think carefully when running Auchenai Soulpriest and/or Auchenai Phantasm along side the hero power, I believe if I am not mistaken It will deal 3 damage first and then give the +3/+3 but if the initial damage didn't kill the minion It can still buff the attack. Just something to consider for people who are thinking of building a heal priest.
