If anyone has any tips for tourneys let me know.

I am planning on bringing 3 decks

Secret Paladin
Handlock
Tempo Mage

I need Handlock advice, I am pretty new with that and it is fun but I don't really know the finer details and tricks of the deck. If anyone has any good deck lists please post as well.

I am rank 14 so im not that good.

Thanks

Count out how your opponent could have lethal on almost every turn. Life tap accordingly.

This. knowing your opponents reach, when to heal, when to taunt and when to go aggressive are a big part of a properly played handlock.
Figure out your matchup and know when you need to utilize your spells for maximum effeciently.
Try to not over extend if the situation presents itself and they could have clears.
know what to mulligan for/keep in a certain matchup.
chances are if your playing against a hunter or something you probably don't want to throw back the healbot/w.e early game you got going for a first card giant chance.
Also know when to taunt only one minion vs both minions you could can also lead to a victory.
IE taunt up that healbot instead of the giant +bot if they only have one monster and used alot of removal. or maybe only taunt up the giant if they are a weapon class and it means the difference with your follow up burst play that he takes 8 dmg to remove that now.

Tl;dr Know your matchup. Know your deck. Know your draw chances and give yourself a line to win when all else is looking bleak.

If your playing Vs control be as greedy as possible (life tap often).. If your playing something like face hunter your allowed maybe 1-2 tap for that game at best if that. Most importantly think about your turn before you execute a tap or a drop. And if you are going to tap tap first because your turn might change from what you draw
