I was playing QuestLock before the patch but the deck I had feels useless now… Is there still any viable questlock decks for standard? I switched to shaman and mage for now but I main Warlock and its so bad right now… Thoughts?
The quest-handlock version with Anetheron and the Goldshire gnolls is doing well right now, at least in my experience. You can feel the nerf, but it didn’t break the deck by any means.

The deck remain unbeatable, Tier SSS+ GODLY invencible.
It is so insanely overpowered, so abismally unfair, so out of the charts broken, even the format with all cards release so far in this game history can’t handle the abomination.
Playing this card is the same of using cheat codes, except of course if you are playing against another cheater questline warlock.

Handlock without quest is fun too: I never played the quest in my handlock deck and I did fine (but in the low MMR part of the ladder)
Yeah it’s a lategame cheat code but it’s suicide to try to outvalue it. Hitting the warlock’s face to 0 hp works better and the quest shaman nerf means aggro decks will be stronger since quest shaman won’t be able to counter it.
In some senses, quest shaman being left dead instead of quest warlock is one of the worst things to happen to it. It’ll be overran with aggro now, and while it’ll provide ridicolous otks and fatigue kills and probably still kill any threatless purity control decks, all it has to play with will be aggro smorc decks that will hit it’s hp to 0.
I mean after all. Trying to outvalue a warlock with purity control is just stupid.
Hit their face to 0, because it’s the only thing that works is a viable answer. Lets stop beating around the brush here. The worst thing you can do to try to beat warlock is outvalue them when you can’t. The only thing is aggro, and it’s a meta where control is dead. Go nuts~! XD.
Eating the warlock as unchecked aggro is just karma. Nothing can outvalue it playing 10x 8 drops for 1 mana, so smorc smorc we will.
My Standard Questlock does well.
Okay, pretty sure your posts in regards to questlock are satirical at this point.

Quest Hand-lock (Hand Questlock?) is op. just played it with a pretty solid paladin deck. Questlock destroyed every single card I played no matter how buff or protected they were and continued to deck himself. Then healed to full with the baker and played Tamsin only to continue decking themself. I had no minions on the field at that point thanks to those stupid hyenas (whom I’d already killed three times). I’m calling bs on this deck. How do you beat someone who’s only strategy is “Draw until the enemy dies!”?
Pretty sure Handlock doesn’t run hyenas. That’s more likely a zoo variant, running imps and etc
He probably meant goldshire gnoll, which every handlock runs 100 percent of the time.
Yeah, my bad. I meant that. But every time I see it I can only think “hyena” for some reason. >_<
Unless the lock gets themselves to 0, then it’s ok. Because you can get to 0 health, complete the quest phase, then heal up, GOOD TO GO, because, you know… WARLOCKS.
Seems fair.
