Wild Plot Twist Warlock Ranked

Deck Overview

Most of you are probably aware of the famous Plot Twist warlock, so you aren't really surprised seeing a quest version of it. Just like with the RoS deck, the current list aims to reach the late-game and to summon a bunch of minions with really powerful deathrattle effects thanks to Plot Twist and either Dollmaster Dorian or Fel Lord Betrug. Warlocks can deal with early aggression by casting Hellfire, Shadow Bolt or by playing Bone Wraith.

Against control decks Augmented Elekk can be exceptionally strong, since it delays the fatigue counter and multiplies our high-value minions. Playing those from the upgraded hero power would feel very satisfying, but Arch-Villain Rafaam deserves all of the credit for enhancing the quest. He transforms all of our weak reactive spells and taunt minions into potentially strong legendaries.


Activating "Supreme Archaeology"

Activating the quest is very easy - you gain a small progression every time you draw at the start of your turn, tap or play Questing Explorer. You can speed up the quest completion process by casting Plot Twist (hopefully alongside Augmented Elekk, Dollmaster Dorian or Fel Lord Betrug).


Mulligan Strategy

In all cases - Supreme Archaeology, Questing Explorer.

Matchups

Against aggro. Just like with every control-aggro matchup, we try to survive and reach the late game. We have some tools to deal with early aggression, so just find them. Shadow Bolt and Hellfire are the cards, which you normally need. Spellbreaker will be exceptionally strong against tempo rogue (Edwin VanCleef) and mech decks.


Against control. Reach the late-game, aim for an Augmented Elekk, Dollmaster Dorian, Plot Twist combo, so that you fill your deck with additional cards and build a board at the same time. Play Arch-Villain Rafaam, once you feel that the reactive spells won't be that helpful anymore. Spam free legendaries thanks to Tome of Origination.
