Reno Warlock, often shortened to Reno Lock or Renolock, and known in Standard format also as Highlander Warlock, is a Warlock deck built around The League of ExplorersReno Jackson, Mean Streets of GadgetzanKazakus, Saviors of UldumZephrys the Great, and often Descent of DragonsDragonqueen Alexstrasza.

Reno Lock was originally invented in League of Explorers with the release of Reno Jackson, and got significantly stronger in Mean Streets of Gadgetzan with the release of Kazakus. It became a Wild deck with the start of the Year of the Mammoth and Reno Jackson's removal from Standard format, but was reintroduced to Standard with Saviors of UldumZephrys the Great and Descent of DragonsDragonqueen Alexstrasza in Year of the Dragon.

Deck type[]

Reno Lock is a control deck, and uses similar cards to other control Warlock decks, such as LegacyTwilight Drake, LegacyMountain Giant and LegacyLord Jaraxxus. LegacyLife Tap is an essential part of Reno Lock, as drawing Reno Jackson as early as possible is important for countering aggro decks.
