There is a lot of Renathal activity in Warlock, with the prince taking over the Curse Warlock archetype and lifting its play rate. The class with Life Tap was tipped by many to be one of the best fits for the legendary.

Curse Warlock looks quite weak, and Renathal seems to be a trap that has only made the archetype worse. Loss of the deck's consistency in finding its win condition has resulted in worsening results in the deck's performance against other late game strategies, while the benefits have been marginal. Gul'dan wins our “bait of the week” medal. Congratulations.

Curse Warlock has proven to be a poor fit for Renathal, contrary to the initial thought that the class with Life Tap would appreciate the extra health. The problem is that Warlock lacks the characteristics that make Renathal successful. It doesn't have strong tutors to its win condition, so its game plan gets much slower and less consistent with extra cards. Its removal and life gain packages are already strong, so it's not desperate for a cushion of health because it's already defensively sound. Adding cards only dilutes its defensive shell. There are exceptions, such as pure burn decks like Bomb Rogue, but those matchups just aren't common.

Based on our estimates, running a 30-card build of Curse Warlock should be better, and we're featuring a curated list with some flex/tech options. There's a choice between the value of School Teacher and the standalone impact of Demonic Assault. Then you can sprinkle some tech cards to replace Mortal Coils, if you're desperate for them (in this format, you shouldn't be).

We're still featuring a 40-card build in case you insist on making your deck worse, or if you're wondering how we would build it in case it made more sense down the road.

The bottom line though, whether it's 30 or 40 cards, Curse Warlock isn't great.
