Handlock with Archwitch Willow!

General Strategy:

This deck plays out like other traditional Handlock archetypes in that you generally want to be tapping for the first few turns of the game and often throughout the game to fill up our hand to make use of many large-hand cards like Dark Skies, Twilight Drake, Abyssal Summoner, etc.  Of course, if playing against aggro we usually don't have the luxury of tapping so frequently as that just helps them kill us faster.  And it's wise not to get too greedy with your removal against aggro decks as well. 

Tips -
   *  Always keep track of how many Soul Fragments are in your deck to manage Void Drinker and Soulciologist Malicia properly.  If you are not using a deck tracker, Soulciologist Malicia will show you how many you have in your deck.

 

Mulligan:

Always Keep - Kanrethad Ebonlocke, Soul Shear, Dark Skies, Twilight Drake

Sometimes Keep - Unstable Felbolt (Vs. DH/Hunter/Paladin/Shaman/Rogue), Acidic Swamp Ooze(Vs. DH/Hunter/Rogue/Warrior), Nether Breath (Vs. aggro decks), School Spirits (Vs. aggro decks), Ironbeak Owl (Vs. Paladin)

    Any alts for Alexstrasza? That's the only card in the list I don't have.

      Hmm, that's a tough one. I hate to say it, but I think she is vital to the deck. Not only is she a dragon in hand that activates Nether Breath and [Hearthstone Card (Netherwing Drake) Not Found] but one of your win conditions against Priest.  You could definitely try out some options but I don't have anything off the top of my head for replacements, sorry.

    why keep Kanrethad in your mulligan? You don't want to draw him off Willow later.

     

    Also, what about running Felosophy to copy Kanrethad Prime later on to have more lategame.

      The meta is so fast these days that you don't want to get too greedy with value.  Against Priest, no matter how much value you have in the deck you'll never outvalue them and against any other deck you won't live long enough to see the value.  Kanrethad Prime and Archwitch Willow are more so late game win conditions and you shouldn't need more than 1 or 2 of them to win.  Also, if you happen to get Kanrethad Prime from Archwitch Willow it's still a free 7/6 and you'll get another taunt demon along side them so you're still getting a boat load of stats
