The Warlock class is just one of the nine available in the Hearthstone beta, and is my personal favorite. Represented by Gul’dan, the class is not as versatile as it is tricky. You can never be sure you have a good Warlock beaten until you see the victory screen.
New players may be wary to dip their toes into the demon-filled well of the Warlock class, but those who are willing to fight that uphill battle to learning and obtaining necessary cards will be rewarded with some tricks unique to the class such as replacing Gul’dan at low HP with Lord Jaraxxus.
Even without the Jaraxxus card, the Warlock deck is still powerful and is one of the most unique in Hearthstone, with the hero spell Life Tap being reminiscent of black decks in Magic: The Gathering.
The card list below includes the Warlock’s minions and spell cards in the current build of Hearthstone (1.0.0.3939). Those that are not collectible are noted as such.
Keep in mind cards noted as being ‘Basic’ are those the player receives by default as they level their hero.
