SN1P-SN4P Warlock

SN1P-SN4P Warlock was a combo Warlock deck type. SN1P-SN4P Warlock used SN1P-SN4P and various cost-reduction effects, namely Summoning Portal and Mechwarper, to potentially play an infinite number of SN1P-SN4P's.

Due to the change to Echo in Descent of Dragons, SN1P-SN4P Warlock is considered to no longer be a playable deck.

History

SN1P-SN4P Warlock was one of the only decks in Hearthstone that needed to consistently factor in time. A Warrior with a large amount of armor may actually survive theoretically infinite damage due to the lengthy animations, and Nozdormu could critically impact the gameplay of SN1P-SN4P Warlock at times, although it was too slow and ineffective to be an actual counter. Because of such time limitations, it was often vital to maintain a stable connection when playing SN1P-SN4P Warlock, much more so than any other deck.

With the introduction of SN1P-SN4P near the end of Rise of Shadows, SN1P-SN4P Warlock came into existence. While not a deck discovered immediately on launch, it did dominate the meta immediately. With no consistent counter, SN1P-SN4P Warlock was consistently the best deck in the Wild meta throughout Saviors of Uldum.

As the deck got refined, SN1P-SN4P Warlock grew even stronger. Some players even started to abuse scripts to extend their turn to play more SN1P-SN4Ps. This eventually lead to Blizzard banning said scripting players. Notably, this was the first and only time when using scripts could provide a sizable advantage to warrant bans.

After complete dominace for more than 5 months. Echo was nerfed to make Echos not cost less than (1) after the release of Descent of Dragons, resulting in the complete disappearance of SN1P-SN4P Warlock from the meta.

However, it is still possible to be played, building a big minion that, whilst not an OHKO, can pose a serious threat.
