OurWild Darkest Hour Warlock Deck List Guidewill walk you through how to play this powerful new edition to the Wild meta in the Rise of Shadows expansion! We’re taking a look at mulligans, play strategy, and which cards have been chosen to fit into the deck. We’ll also take a look at some of the combos that make this deck so good at the moment.
Wild has had troubles in the past with certain decks that are too powerful in the format. While it’s a bit too early to say, it is kind of looking like thisDarkest Hour WarlockorBig Warlockis going to be one of those decks. It can do a lot of crazy things, but one of the craziest is that it can produce an insane board on turn four that is nearly impossible to come back from. If the opponent has taken any damage by that turn four or five, then it’s even possible to get a lethal on the same turn with some of the charge minions that are in the deck.
Deck Code
Wild Darkest Hour Warlock Mulligan Guide
We’re mainly looking for our combo pieces, and if we have those we can just about win a game on turn four if we’re lucky. The other cards are largely unimportant, but just ensure to pitch back your big minions, we don’t want to see those in our hand at all.
Situational Keeps
Wild Darkest Hour Warlock Play Strategy
Our main combo is using some kind of spell to get a board full of minions, then useBloodbloom, and use our health as mana to castDarkest Hour. We don’t always need to hit a full board to do this, if we hit the combo on curve then we’ll likely get four minions out of it. These minions will likely be huge, and some of them will have charge and can do a ton of damage. We’ll also be pulling out stuff likeRagnaros the FirelordandThe Lich Kingwho can deal damage and give us some more resources. This combo can be done as early as turn four if you have The Coin, because we’ll cast the Scheme, then Coin, Bloodbloom, into the Darkest Hour.
In the early game we’re mostly just looking for the combo pieces. If we don’t have those, then we’re aggressively drawing cards until we can dig them up. We do have some stuff that can sustain us in the meantime.DefileandDemonwrathcan clear boards if we’re struggling to find the cards we need. We’ve also got the strong Demon base to back us up, withVoidcallerandSkull of the Man’ariable to get us some early game firepower.
We have another big way to cycle for the combo withPlot Twist. You’ll obviously want to be careful with this, because if you have one of the pieces of the combo, you might not want to be dumping it back into your deck only for you to lack it in your new hand.
If you already have the combo, you might want to avoid using your hero power for more cards. You really don’t want to draw any of your big minions before you get the chance to play the cards and pull them out of the deck.
