For a very short period of time, right before dark moon fair and Scholomance got rotated out, Control mill Warlock was actually very good. Tikatus made other control decks irrelevant and you had several win cons with Jaraxxus, Neeru, Malicia, and Rustwix duplication after Neeru. Worlds was full of control warlock. I don't remember if Neeru was played there but I do remember it seeing play in ladder.

One thing I find odd about the current rotation is that they tried to push Discard Warlock again with a few of the current core cards being ones revolving around the Discard mechanic, including High Priestess Jeklik.

Really glad youtube randomly recommended your channel for me. Great chill and funny videos. Thanks for the content!

I know this isn't with Wild in mind, but from a Wild perspective:
-There has been some experimentation among some reputable offmeta players with the self-discard warlock, though it was very shortlived. Soul Rend found a home though in Evenlock/Reno Evenlock

-Token DH, and by extension DH in general, has really struggled in Wild. There was some attention to it when Castle Nathria got released, but Druid just did the Denathrius strat better.

-Shadow Hunter Vol'jin quickly became a center piece for Mecha'thunlock, though other variations quickly took its place once Runed Mithril Rod and Tome Tampering came in (though Tome Tampering as of this comment's date is banned in WIld now).

-Trickster is not good in Wild, though I see that it's a big piece of Jackpot Burgle Rogue in Standard.

-Overdraft is a very wild-worthy card. There are times where Spirit of the Frog Shaman builds will pop off, and this card is a big part of that deck, whether it's the pure burn, QL, or Giants Shaman. Same thing goes with Investment Opportunity. This is one of my favorite decks, gives me Miracle Rogue/Darkglarelock vibes.

Blood in the Water was played in the Thief Rogue

Just got this on my front page and I’m happy I did. Afterwards I watched a few of your other videos and enjoyed them thoroughly. You remind me a lot of Rhystic Studies and that’s very much a compliment.

What I learned watching this video:

Want to play a big minion deck? Just play Druid.
I need to stop playing Blood in the Water.

[emred]

reminds me of how ursarctic archetype in yugioh has a card letting you draw 7 but rest of the archetype is so terrible nobody plays it

[Eshiay]

Feast of Souls should've been a 2 mana draw 1 and +1 for each that died. Would've been a better overall card. But yeah we have card draw already idk who this was for.

[big_oo]

damn i really enjoyed this video then saw it was your first!

[Begeru]

I know it’s an old video but it’s cool how you identified Swiftscale Trickster’s problem early. All it needed was Jackpot! to be printed.

5:45 Shadow Hunter Voljin was very definitely played in Mecathun Warlock in Wild

[joshprice]

I think discard or self mill decks would probably be more powerful if Hearthstone had a easier to access graveyard mechanic.

Having more consistent access to the cards you're binning is a much better pay off than some of the stuff Blizzard has tried imo

[ratedbforbob]

Hilarious that swiftscale trickster is pretty good now after the lich king expansion

Any card that does not see play is bad. Cards don't exist in a vacuum.

[torhenryandreassen]

Man I really, desperately, want Discard Warlock to be good. I just really love the idea of using everything as a resource; one's health, one's cards -- everything! Must be Rakdos rubbing off on me.

[Mishaem]

Titans really brought overdraft from a dead card to a meta

[diffusegd]

Fun fact: in the mmost recent Twist gamemode, discardlock has seen potential with the additional new legendary Fanottem, along with the power level being lower in twist

[patrickkwon]

Ingenius ideas, im sad u dont upoad more. droped a like n subed

[Papa-Bumblebee]

Its kinda crazy that voljin became part of one of the grossest standard decks before rotation with thadduis shaman
