Hey guys so I just ended up #1 NA by the end of this season with this deck. Its pretty much a traditional warrior deck that has no bad mu's really and a strong deck for ladder currently.
Frequently asked questions I got why no unstable ghoul?
It's pretty much a dead card in mu's like handlock, warrior mirror (gives your opponent ways to trigger their acolytes) priest so I decided to go with more traditional 2 cruel taskmaster to handle aggro decks instead. Unstable does however increase the aggro matchup's alot but I felt like I could handle the aggro decks without them.
Cruel is more flexible. Makes bgh useful against non +7 attack minion decks. Most people run loatheb atleast so you can cruel it and then bgh. Cruel works well with armorsmith making her a 3/3 earlygame and is obviously great with acolyte (same as unstable ghoul)
There's many times where u need that 1 extra damage lets say u have fiery waraxe equiped your hunter opponent gets mischa or leok u can kill it with weapon+cruel and still develop your board.
Why ysera instead of alex? I met alot of bgh decks this season and playing too much bgh targets lost me games where I was in control. Alex is more flexible tho and isnt a dead card vs aggro so again if you struggle with aggro decks use alex instead.
Why senjin? The control warrior deck always lacked 4 drops and senjin is a stable one you could go with gnomish inventor but senjin has been really good to so try it out.
Why cleave? I use this mainly for hunter. Amazing early game and works as a silence against empty board highmane
black knight in current meta is amazing. You have targets against pretty much everydeck (everyone run sludge belcher)
General mulligan strategy is:
1. fiery war axe
2. armorsmith
3. acolyte
4. cruel (if you know youre facing aggro / midrange)
against handlock is the only diffrent one pretty much
1. execute
2. bgh
3. acolyte
4. shieldslam
Here's some vods from me getting #1

here's some stats from the deck:
Wins - Losses - Games
Druid (Kolento) 1 1 2
Hunter 7 3 10
Warlock (Hand) 5 0 5
Mage (Hyped) 1 1 2
Priest (Kibler) 2 1 3
Warrior 9 2 11
Druid (Ramp) 4 1 5
Mage (Face) 1 0 1
Miracle ("New") 2 1 3
Paladin 1 0 1
Priest (Control) 1 1 2
Shaman 1 2 3
Warlock (Zoo) 2 1 3
Score 37 - 14 (thx to trump for providing me with the score)
So, this is going to sound odd. The only cards i don't have are: Shield Slam x2.
Any ideas on replacements xD
i dont have alex or yesera, thoughts on a replacement?
When u play mirror match Alex is much better then Ysera. But against priest Ysera can really helps u.
the deck does exceptionally well against shaman (i'm 9-1 on rank 7) but it runs into a lot of issues against aggro like the new mid-range hunter and zoo. any tips on how to adjust for this meta? i switched out loatheb for alex but doesn't seem to be doing much.
I was at rank 9 and droped to rank 14 with this deck, playing on eu. in my opinion this deck is dead, and i regret crafting cards for it. It was my favorite when i saw it on streamers, but after playing it i consider it is the most retarded deck of all in this meta
Maybe you're just bad with the deck. If it made it to Legend rank 1 NA, then it's obviously good.
Unstable Ghoul dead card in matchups like handlock? I disagree. It has its uses in setting the giants up for executes. Also I believe Whirlwind effects are really important and Death's Bite just doesn't seem enough.
Just my 2cents.
Sjow has been running Alexstraza over Ysera in this deck lately.
If u want to play only this deck, definetily Grommash. Is our best finisher (Grom + Cruel Taskmstr FTW) and i don't see a replace for him. Cairne and Sylvanas can be replaced by Sunwalker, Stampeding Kodo, Spectral Knight, etc... Browl i don't how can be replaced, maybe a second Cleave...
Hey pepepatyka, if you are missing most of the cards, you can also try a OTK warrior that uses the Raging Worgen. I mention that because control warrior is one of the most expensive decks to build and many of the cards are irreplaceable. If you craft a Grom and use the warrior class and naxx cards, you can make a deck that will win you a lot of games.
I agree, zoos and the similar archetypes are everywhere in the meta.
Hi i really want alexstraza in with ysera. What can i possible replace for her in, though off Faceless - BGH - Sen'jin - cleave. Please answer someone :D
(Right now replaced cleave for alexstraza since rare a hunter matchup)
Great deck, a lot of synergy. I've been trying to get the Melee Warrior deck to work in this meta, but it's just getting spanked left and right. After several lost matches and increased frustration I decided to give this one a try and so far, I'm undefeated with it (5-0) and am making back my lost stars.
Ty for posting the deck, it's a lot of fun and it is competitive.
Oh yeah, I had to substitute Gorehowl for Grom since I didn't have him. It's worked great so far.
Loved the shades you put on after getting #1! Warrior is a great class, glad you brought them to #1!
Great deck, fun to play.
