I have been tinkering With the build since the latest release of the final wing of Karazhan. I finally worked out all the bugs in the deck and from my experience this it the best list. If i get enough likes on this list I will write up a full tutorial. The deck can have pretty powerful burst potential as well as being a strong aggro deck aside from the discard theme. Once you get the discard engine running it is awfully hard for your opponent to stop you in time. The deck is too fast for the new control decks and keeps up with other aggro decks VERY well.
Thank you and please give feedback. Any suggestions and commentary will be reviewed and tested and who knows, perhaps you will aid in altering the deck.
Again, Thank You.
Big Thank You To FurO for making a video of this deck, Enjoy:
*Update- Seemingly good match-up versus that pesky Hunter aggro, often wins before they get to 8 mana, and if it doesn't you have a good lock-down. Haven't lost the match-up yet./
*Update- Due to the Overwhelming support, I am working on a guide currently.
Out of all the discard Lock deck floating around i feel like this one had the best base synergy build. I liked it very much because of how interconnected all the cards are. I did make a few changes though the biggest being i found no real value or flexibility in Mortal coil and swapped them out Demonfire. They provided better removal or the choice of a buff that can help push your minions through an obstacle minion early or mid game.
I'm also experimenting with Sense Demon in place of the Villagers and an Alchemist in place of a Power Over. The sense Demon has been very useful as opposed to throwing another 1/1 body on the board.
All in all a very good deck though.

It works better
it's rude to plug your own stuff on someone else's work.
Leeroy Jenkins instead of Sea Giant and its perfect, if u have no leeroy, try another fist of jaraxxuss, giant absolutely useless in this deck
Leeroy is the only viable alternative that I have considered in the deck. I've tried two fists but its really aweful. Sea Giant has been a live card every time I play the deck personally and has won me games better than a leeroy would have, but this is more preference of how you want the deck played.
Aggro matchups can be tough, but a Sea Giant shines soo well there.
Actually you're right about playing styles, anyway i love this deck =)
i have been using 2 x fist of jaraxxus and it's actually worked out very well. that could be because i'm using 2 x succubus though.
that being said, i really like that you are using the sea giant, and i think i'll drop 1 argent squire from my deck and try it.
on the topic of leeroy, i had him in my deck for a while but there were too many instances where i would have leeroy and a doomguard in my hand, and that's no good. i've found that it's best to populate this deck with 3 things. cards that discard, cards that you want to discard, and cards that you don't mind discarding. i do think the sea giant is an exception to that made up rule of mine :)
Holy crap this is a fun deck. There are games where you just overwhelm people and I think people are just shocked at what's happening.
In tight games you sometimes see incredible momentum swings. Imagine on turn 6, you have Tiny Knight of Evil and Malchezaar imp on board, you have Doomguard, Soulfire, Silverware Golem and Fist of Jaraxxus in hand. So you're dealing 13 damage out of hand, buffing your knight, drawing a card and putting a 5/7 and 3/3 on the board.
Those are tempo swings no one can deal with.
Yeah when the deck treats you right, you have the best plays in the game. Having a Succubus and a Silverware Golem on turn 2 will win you most games. The Doomguard plays have amazing value. Glad to see you are enjoying the deck
I'm pretty new to the game and I've been playing retardo aggro with this deck and that seems to be the best method.
It's great because I was mostly paying Renolock and I get crushed by Hunter and Paladin all the time, and with this deck I've been crushing them.
Can't win a game against Tempo Mages or Freeze Mages. Also have trouble against Reno, ironically.
If you're playing against reno with an aggro deck, you need to beat them don as fast as possible to A. Lessen their time to draw reno and B. If the do have it make them use it as early as possible. Freeze mage is tought because it is meant to beat aggro, but the beauty of the list is it has 2 spots for one-of meta choices since the deck cycles and draws soo much you can put a card in just for your worst matchup
Yeah, Shaman is deff a bit tougher than Hunter. The Hunter matchup is pretty favorable, but depending on the shaman build it can be tougher because they can often play very tempo and if they lightning storm it can put you back. i just won a face shaman matchuplast round, it wasnt easy and I had to control their board instead of hit face.
I hope some input comes forward, that's why I posted the deck here. A one of demon wrath may not be a bad idea but any other board clear would harm the deck.
my version is actually beating shaman most of the time, but weak against freeze mage and dragon warrior. it's an unlisted deck at the moment, but you can see it through my profile.
besdies shaman, what else would you say this version struggles against?
Meh, every deck relies somewhat on RNG to a point, but there are enough aggressive cards to play as though you were a typical aggro-lock deck most of the time
I am having success with Prince Malchezaar instead of Sea Giant
:)
So I just had the luck to get matched with three Hunters...well, won all games: VOD DiscardLock
Afterwards I played 3 more games (1 Priest, 1 Druid, 1 Warrior) and took down another 2 wins. A bit too early to have a full conclusion but I can already tell that the Imp is a very strong addition to the Discard deck. Hopefully it can resurrect warlock a bit, the class is going downhill over the last couple of weeks.
YT-Player:
I'm really flattered that you made a video of my deck. If you don't mind, may I link it when I write up my guide?
Glad you are liking it! There is a bit of a learning curve with it, but playing aggressive is the way to go as long as you're mindful of the synergistic potential at the same time.
To me honest, Sea Giant has been an mvp in so many matchups, and I never had a problem discarding it in games where I doesn't have a place. If you want to go for a more aggressive face strategy you can try replacing him with Leeroy Jenkins
If you play it right you can ;]
