You mostly want the expired merchant in the early game since there is barely any silence and its pretty nice to copy some cards for the late game or even mountain giants
I knew theres a damn control warlock in this meta, not this Galakrond zoo shit or the weak attempt at handlock with only 2-3 cards that support it.
Anyway this deck isn’t the final product and can be improved a lot.
You would want to use the mortal coil only to combo it with the expired merchant or the voodoo doll. Now of course you also have EG in your hand to combo it with those cards as well to get the lackeys.
If you want more presence in the early game I suggest switching out 1 dragonmaw (maybe even 2 since this deck has a lot of good single target removal) and put in the 2/2 minion that discovers spells if you’re holding a dragon. Or if you’re looking for a bit more aggro prevention and less pressure in the early game switching the EG and maybe hellfire for the Kahurt defender and snip snap.
Alexstrasza definitely isn’t needed in this deck but it seems like a good way to finish the game with smorc. Battle it out till turn 9 stabilize the board put you’re opponent to 15 and then smorc him with nether wings, nether breath, hellfire.
Also this deck seems to have a lot of solid healing so I would suggest switching out siphon soul for another extra Riftcleaver for the extra tempo and pressure since the lost health can easily be put back.
Also the deck lacks silence and weapon removal so maybe replace one of the evasive wyrms and maybe siphon soul for a silence and a weapon removal.
Also zerraku the warped isn’t needed in this deck its just a pseudo taunt and extra late game pressure and push.
Forgot to add that the 1 copy of plot twist isn’t some stupid combo shenanigans but its purely there if it happens that u don’t have a mountain giant or dragons in your hand to just play it and get a new hand for cheap
This seems substantially worse than Handlock. There are weird cards in this list like expired merchant, evil genius, alex. Dragon Handlock has all the strengths of this deck; being the card draw, and potential for big minions. But adds much more survivability in the form of 2 sun fury protectors to turn those big minions defensive, and an extra siphon soul as clearly staying alive is this decks biggest issue. Control decks want to answer early game plays 1 for 1 usually which doesn’t synergize well with the Giants and Abyssal Summoners unless you draw the Draw 4 guy but even if you do it’s likely you’re dead if you don’t play a big drake into a giant or something. I think 2 doomsayers + pure Handlock build is far superior to this list. I have a list on my account if u wanna check it out and see if u agree or disagree
