Fuck no, I originally added Sylvanas to the list because team dogehouse had a fucking hardon for it. That card isn't the hot mess everyone thinks it is. At 5 mana it could be in here, at 6? I'll play faceless's instead.

I imagine it'd lose to control warriors pretty hard, but it still seems like a good deck. Sylvanas seems totally unnecessary in that deck because you don't need her to be a threat to their board state. She'd be more of a win-more, and a great silence target since not really many other targets scream "silence me".

Is Divine Favor that good? It seemed weird to me, like late game one-off to retain tempo in case you end up top-decking against an opponent with a hand.

He plays it as a counter to control warlocks/mages.

Oh it got nerfed to 6 mana. Ok I can understand that then since at 6 you want to be Leeroy'ing people's faces.

How does it counter them? Because of their hero powers that tend to make them pile up on cards, so he can swarm the board with his little guys and threaten heavy damage if they don't play their hand instead?

Divine Favor is a VERY good card because your hardest matchup is ALWAYS warlock and mage. These 2 decks love to have lots of card in their hand specificly because everyone is playing Curi's Handlock. The Mountain Giant thing?

In that counter match, if they first card they try to cast is a turn 4 Mountain Giant/Twilight Drake. You are drawing 7 cards on turn 4.

7 cards for 3 mana is INSANE return. Like there isn't even a card to compare it to in value because it has never been printed in the history of card games ever.

That is how good. Divine Favor is.

Yeah but what do you do to deal with the turn 4 MG, will you burn equality just for it? If not he can simply taunt it while taking out all your minis.

Cutting the 2nd Equality was actually more surprising to me than no Sylvanas.

Equality/Swords/Conc/Chip away at it.

Your goal is to kill him and maintain boardcontrol. When you out number his dudes 5 or 6 to 1, it's pretty easy even with an army of 1s and 2s and 3s.

Handlock still seems good vs minis. Hellfire is pretty good vs your deck, and without an equality in your first 10 cards if he gets 2 8/8 taunts you're probably boned.

It's still a bad matchup, I won't deny. The Favor just makes it less of a bad matchup because you simply see more cards than he does.

Why do ppl call it hand lock? It's just standard warlock control. I'm also not a fan of people attaching their name to a whole archetype.

and divine favor is excellent for weenies. It lets you overextend and be extra aggressive.

Cixah just called it that.

I like to call it slow lock, because I can also pretend people who play it are slow in the head.

Given this deck's tendency to basically play out all it's 1 and 2 drop threats quickly, even a midgame Divine Favor to get answers you want like Truesilver, Equality, or Avenging Wrath is huge.

Divine Favor for 3 cards is already above-value compared to most other draw spells in the game, and for 4 is just insane. Just watching Cixah's games, you should see it's pretty common for him to go to 1-2 cards in hand while the enemy still has 4-5, especially if he's on the play. You don't need a blowout 7-card Divine Favor for it to be ridiculous value, and it only gets better in the aforementioned hard matchups.
