Blizzard broke the Warlock class so freaking hard

Warlock paying for the sins of seeds and basically all of 2021 season.

I’d say “lower mana cost”: 2 mana is very hard to play for the opponent, so the only good late game strategy is do nothing and keep your hand almost full to prevent OTK.

I also find it detrimental to play curses for another reason: if you play it, you free space in your hand and your opponent will give you a new stronger curse.
If you don’t, your hand is full and the opponent can’t give you another curse, but you won’t miss your draw because the curse vanishes before the draw phase.

If you play the curses, you are already losing (both tempo and damage); the design of this mechanic is awful imo

I’m not classist, I just don’t own that many cards for all classes.

Funkimonki built what is now the best Curse Warlock list. It’s still not high tier. Its biggest counters (druid and warrior) will be nerfed soon. Let’s hope this adds to viability. I wouldn’t even mind if Curse Warlock stays bad if murlocs could be buffed. Just give us something to work with. Jeez.

It’s a solid deck but lack of Curse of Agony means his games drag on longer than they need to. Agony does the chip damage necessary to make the curses more effective and takes away your reliance to Brann.

The sad part is that this deck could be top tier but if ever did it might border on broken/oppressive.

Do you wait for Tamsin to use your Agony’s? It’s a shame the class doesn’t have more in the way of tutor. It feels very draw dependent.

Glad I didn’t craft any of those useless cards!

I am using School teacher in my version and you can find extra copies that way or just extra removal. Usually the 2 are enough but if i feel i need more i’ll use the ring and do a 3rd copy instead of copying a curse to hand.

I’m using the treasure guard because it’s so good and trawler for dredge. It’s not perfect but Warlock doesn’t have the search tools it once did although tap is still top notch. I messed around with whelp bonker but that works better in mage where you can control the health of opposing minions better.
