Hearthstone Standard Rotation: The 5 Best Cards Warlock Will Lose From Arena in Blizzard's Card Game

#1. Despicable Dreadlord

Expansion: Knights of the Frozen Throne

Despicable Dreadlord is cheaper than a Dread Infernal and doesn't deal damage to your face or your own minions. AOE effects have a lot of value in Arena and even more so if you can clear small/token minions. That's why Dragonmaw Scorcher and Dread Infernal are so highly rated right now.

While Warlock has a lot of board clear effects, Despicable Dreadlord is the best-rated card from the 2017 sets according to Heartharena. He will be missed.

Honourable Mentions

Shroom Brewer

Expansion: Kobolds & Catacombs

Shroom Brewer is a really good heal and exactly the one Warlock needs. Although this is a Neutral card, most Warlock heals such as Dark Pact are pretty useless in Arena. Warlock takes so much damage from its cards and Shroom Brewer can help you stay alive, even if it's just a little bit.

Stonehill Defender

Expansion: Journey to Un'Goro

Stonehill Defender is a solid card on its own, but it allows Warlock to Discover Voidlords, Rin, Vulgar Homunculus and many powerful Warlock class Taunts. It is extra strong in Warlock just like it is in Paladin, Warrior and Shaman.
