  • There are still some strong Warlock decks out there, one of the top contenders in the meta being Galakrond Warlock, as spotlighted in Shadows' article yesterday. The more regular Zoo isn't it the best possible spot right now so it might be a struggle. There are some lists that are still doing well, like this one from HSReplay (although it has a low sample size). It seems quite cheap (if you exclude the legendaries; they help but are not needed) if you want to try that one out.

    • Not as strong like other decks though. Thank you for the response.

  • Best warlock deck is probably control galakrond, with around 4 core epic cards and since you get Galakrond for free its not that expensive.

    But if you just want to grind up ladder, just play tempo dhunters. Its just faster, and its currently the undisputed best deck in hearthstone standard.

    Zoolock gets eviscerated by dhunters, I can't really see anything happening with zoo unless your opponent literally draws shit for 3 turns back to back.

  • Galakrond Warlock is by no means "not as strong as the other decks". It is probably the strongest deck in the game behind Demon Hunter, with the ability to aggressive when needed. Of the two viable Warlock decks (zoo and Galakrond), Galakrond is far better. However, if your goal is simply to rank up the ladder as fast as possible, then Aggro/Tempo Demon Hunter is your best bet. You should hurry though, since the class is facing another nerf soon.

  • Yeah i like playing other classes too but the problem for me is i that im i type of player that once i picked a hero or champion i stick with it. Lol. I do agree with DH as the best bet for ranking up. Just playing zoo warlock right now is kinda hard. But the galackrond zoo control i think has the potential. It only lacks consistency. I am working on a zoo  control deck warlock. Let me know what you think of this.

  • Bump

  • I don't understand why you'd want to create a Zoo-Control Hybrid when you can just use the regular Control Galakrond deck that HsReplay features?

    • I am working on that one as well. Which is a main priority of mine.  @ YourPrivateNightmare

  • New article out since you posted this:

    https://outof.cards/hearthstone/1176-playing-ashes-of-outland-on-a-budget-check-out-these-5-decks-you-must-try

    Great timing assuming lack of expensive cards is a limitation for you which seems likely if you are new :)

    • The first deck zoo lock outland. I have encountered that one. Hehe.
