Deck Tech for Realms
Realms is upon us, and I know a bunch of people who check these boards are qualified or are planning on doing so. Could be a good idea to put this site to use and brainstorm deck ideas for the new constructed format. While it may be more beneficial to go though the cardlist and see how existing top-tier decks are affected by the newcomers I prefer to come up with new (relatively speaking) decks.
With my penchant for Blue-Ally untargetable rush (go Ozzati!) seeing Helena Demonfire gave me an idea … ok, get this, Blue traitor warlock rush!
Alliance traitor warlock that’s not rip&flip?! ‘What is this guy smoking?’ is what most of you would be thinking, well hear me out. As soon as I Saw Helena I thought of Apocanon, with both of ‘em out the 4/5 for 5 (brock proof!) basically becomes an adjustable Deafening Shout that also affects heroes. Any ally based decks will simply melt and be forced to deal with it while your efficient demon pets start going for the dome. VS. control, warlock already has decent tools in the form of Eye of Killrog et al. and the new Suspended Curse could potentially deal with threats Warlock usually has problems with (turn3 twig anyone?). The hero is a human so there is potential abuse with Stormwind City. Turning into Illidan or even packing rip&flip in the sideboard could also be considered.
I haven’t come up with a comprehensive decklist but ideally it would consist of an aggressive ally curve full of elusives and shadowmeld and enough warlock burn to deal with allies in an efficient manner (shadowbolt and the new Rain of Shadow)
So what do you guys think? Too janky? Not powerful enough to compete? Lets get these boards active …

Re: Deck Tech for Realms
I'm not convinced about rain of shadows, but I think it's interesting enough to try.
Also don't know about stormwind, but that's again testable.
More generally, I haven't really thought about realms yet. Had been working on Worlds and waiting for DoW before really thinking. Still, probably need to start working on it and you've done more than I have, so nice.

Re: Deck Tech for Realms
Well, I think it has potential. Although I wouldn't call it a Rush deck if you're turning into Illidan. Also, I'm not sure if Illidan is as good any more, now that things can interrupt him. It might be better to go back to Belt in Control decks.
Rip & Flip in the side sounds good, if you can make sure you can fit it. It might require too many cards to fit in the side.

Re: Deck Tech for Realms
Thinking about it, I have to agree with Joel about it requiring too many cards. Unless you're already running RFG quests and donations mainboard, I don't think there's enough room.
Also, there's a great new 1drop from the starters who is human. I would put him in any deck you're planning to use stormwind in.
