OurHeartstone Dragon Warlock Deck List Guideis an early look at this archetype for the Descent of Dragons! Warlock is getting a chance to back to its roots with a control based deck that looks to fill up its hand with cards. With Warlock getting some pretty powerful Dragons, it shouldn’t be too far-fetched to see some kind of deck end up highly played utilizing these magnificent beasts!
While we’re still very early on in the process, it looks like Dragons could be a very viable way for Warlock to head when looking for a new archetype. It wouldn’t be that new of a theme though, because the deck will likely combine these new minions with the old school Handlock shell that was so popular in the past. The strategy of keeping the board clear and dropping heavy minions on the board would still be the name of the game. We will see if this ends up being the winning route for the class.

Here’s a first look at a possible Dragon Warlock deck in Descent of Dragons:

We’re likely to see some changes to the archetype in the future, we’ll be updating this list and guide with more popular versions once they are revealed!
Possible Keeps
Play Strategy & Card Combinations
This deck doesn’t really start to get going until late, but there will be times when you can stick a Mountain Giant that really hinders the abilities of your opponent. We want to accumulate cards and continually clear the board with our removal spells and AOE. Once we get into the late game, we can start dropping our Dragons and cards likeAbyssal Summonerto pressure our opponent into submission.
You are just merely looking to keep the board as clear as possible early on. You are happy to just tap on turn two, but if you’re facing a faster deck you’ve got things likeDoomsayerandNether Breathto deal with them. You also haveFiretree Witchdoctorto trade with or at least occupy our opponent briefly.
Once we head into turn four is when we can sometimes start to make things happen. We’ve got the standard Mountain Giant and Twilight Drake to pose a threat that needs to be dealt with, but we also ideally would like to playFrizz Kindleroostto get that reduction in cost on the cards we draw in the future.
If we’re later in the game, one of the big turns we can have is hitting aValdris Felgorge. This not only increases our hand size, but it draws us four cards right away. If we can then follow it up with anAbyssal Summoner, we should be looking good to continue dropping big minions on the board.
Zzeraku the Warpedhas the potential of being very powerful. You can obviously hurt yourself with your Hero Power, butHellfirewill also work as well. You’d really like to get Frizz Kindleroost on the board before drawing it, so we can use Zzeraku sooner or get more out of it on a single turn.
One of the more questionable inclusions right now areDragonmaw Poacher. A lot of decks are going to be playing with Dragons, so getting the buff out of this is a strong possibility. However, as we move forward it will largely be a meta decision on whether or not we would like to continue to feature this in the list.
