Justanamebro Coil's quite useful in aggro matches where leeroy doesn't really do too much, same with earthen and hellfire and shadowflame. If I had to change stuff up... One voidcaller perhaps. Maybe a shambler. Plus the leeroy combo tends to be a way to win a control match, though jaraxxus already does that pretty well generally.
Voidcaller? That card is not in standard... And saying an otk combo is there to win control matchup is foolish, it beats midrange as well, and all the other cards in the combo other than leeroy perhaps have great utility and synergy on their own. Leeroy is still great without faceless though. Just looks like the deck needs a finisher and leeroy combo deffinately seems like the way to go.
Justanamebro **void terror. or whatever the thing that eats minions is called. The name is escaping me right now. Removing mortal coil hurts the midrange matchup by letting them keep a stronger board though, and that extra card draw is really useful. And since you need to get to turn 10 for the combo, and have thaurissa and all the cards necessary... The thing is, faceless, while decent, is pretty much worse than the shambler in this deck. And the power overwhelmings are quite useful, but having the leeroy makes you want to hold onto them. If,for example, you were to remove the coilsor hellfire or shadowflame as you suggested, the matches might've turned out quite different. those AoEs are REALLY important. I could see taking away 1 coil possibly. While a finisher can be great in handlock, it seems to do fine without one as well, if you can get a big board state. With the lack of BGH you actually can get to that state.
Handlock was OK against aggro. Face hunter back in the day demolished it. And this was back when healbot was a thing in standard. Healing now is just less crazy. I think the new 1 mana 2/2 heal for 4 will be a 2 of in this deck.
Really enjoyed watching you play this game on stream. Glad you uploaded some of the gameplay to youtube, handlock is one of my fav decks to play :)
I played some Handlock this season it's actually not that bad although I was running a different list. Cool to see Strifecro trying Handlock again:)
The first time ever I see Eerie Statue attack.
Dattyification i saw it in purify prist :D
I was even like "how the hell did he attack?"
I really like this deck, plz some more vods!!! :)
Handlock Is the best!
Chair stream pogchamp
Handlock in 2016 LUL
Finally a good deck ♥
16:47 StrifeCro is always that lucky...
Strife, you've been sick for since i've watched you!
Get well soon! :)
Nice
Am i the only one who would have played around Deathwing there at the end?
West World? That show doesn't look like anything to me
i mean this deck might have some serious problems against spellheavy decks and rush decks
it could, not drawing sunfury or argus equal gg
I like it but isnt the meta all about rushing down your opponent.
I would propably throw in leeroy faceless, it's just two cards for a 20-28 damage combo...
What do you remove for it?

Something like coil, earthen, a hellfire/shadowflame

I need to watch it in 2x speed...
This deck probably just gets demolished against shaman.
Not always, ancient watcher is op
Handlock is actually very effective against aggro.
i5m1thy When played correctly it definitely is

Dean simmons I know. that 1 mana 2/2 will for sure be op in handlock. so will kabal courter to discover op priest removal cards.
lol
I don't like that list. Void Terror and PO are way too situational and the deck doesn't even feel like Handlock
I agree about void terror but PO is nice to combo with shadowflame. I'd probably drop both void terrors for a leeroy and faceless.
Slyvanas is missing in the list also. Kinda bad to throw away a combo like slyvanas+shadowflame just to have Void terrors in.
