  SirHerpDerp,

  Okay, I have played this deck-ish a lot. The truth is that I don't have Millhouse Manastorm and I am not going to craft him for this deck. I also only have one Cataclysm therefore I had to make changes to this updated deck (I know those cards didn't change.) I chose to add Defile and High Priestess Jeklik. I added Defile to deal with aggro decks and leaned into the quest card to help deal with more controlling decks. 

  I have found this deck to be strong (around wild rank 10 to rank 8) but more than that it is fun. I will keep playing with it. Currently, I play this deck more than any other. Nice job SirHerpDerp!

  Artic Fox,

  I'm really glad you're enjoying this deck! I can't blame you for not wanting to craft Millhouse Manastorm. I think I only use him in 2 out of over 100 decks, so it's really not worth it. Keep tweaking it, I'm sure all my decks will require a bit of changing since I don't tailor them to the current meta, but instead try to create the best possible deck list for each archetype. Good luck with your ranked climb and have fun!

  "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! ;)

  Hey ArticFox,

   

  Thank you for your suggestion, you made some great points! I threw in Soulwarden and Faceless Manipulator for Sense Demons and Lord Jaraxxus.

  I agree that Millhouse Manastorm is an absolute meme in 99% of decks but i think he'd surprise you in this one. If played at the right time he is absolutely fantastic. If you draw him late in the game when your board is full, simply let him get discarded.

  The reason I kept Howlfiend over Reckless Diretroll is because I don't care what I discard, i just want to do it quickly while playing big threats. As for including High Priestess Jeklik, i'm not worried about having extra cards to discard and she isn't helpful to my aggressive play style.

  And yes, Lakkari Sacrifice is a bit of a tempo killer but I really wanted to build a deck with it and it's pretty decent if you can get it out there quickly.
