SN1P-SN4P Warwock is a deck that was invented in the Rise of the Mech patch. This deck tries to make a one-turn-kill using SN1P-SN4P and any mech that sticks on the board for more than a turn. The idea is to reduce SN1P-SN4P’s cost to 0 mana using Mechwarper and Summoning Portal and magnetize him an infinite amount of times.
What is good about this deck:
The full SN1P-SN4P combo is available as early as turn 4
A Mecha’thun package can be included to beat heavy control decks
If you fail to make your main combo, you have other win conditions involving Glinda Crowskin
How to play this deck effectively:
You need to draw your combo pieces to win so try to cycle out your deck as fast as possible.
You have a few boardclears and defensive tools. Use them wisely against aggressive decks.
If you are facing a lot of control decks that gain too much armor and can survive a hit from the biggest mech you can make, remove one Skaterbot and add Mecha’thun to your deck.
Thy to stick a mech on the board the turn before you can make your combo, so you can attack your opponent’s face, the turn you magnetize SN1P-SN4P.
During the mulligan try to find SN1P-SN4P and Kobold Librarian.
