Hello guys my name is Promsaka I am a huge Hearthstone fan and big competitor on ladder. I've made it to legend multiple times playing all sorts of decks, but my favorite deck by far has always been Control Warrior. Control Warrior is a deck that focuses on clearing mass amounts of the board as efficiently as possible while trying to survive to place huge threats in the later stages of the game. This deck has the potential to beat decks tempo decks that play high threat minions for a cheap cost with removal from Execute and Shield Slam. The deck also boast a huge amount of board clear with whirlwind effects to clear tokens over and over again. Control/value decks will also struggle against you due to the fact that you play a ton of value as well with your legendary minions.
HUGE DECK UPDATE!!!!!!!!! I just want to say this deck has huge potential you are playing so many big minions from hand that The Boomship is actually AMAZING in this deck. Dr. Boom on 7 is great is most cases. Took out armor cards bc you auto win against Paladin(odd). The deck is performing really well so far. But you do lose a lot to mecha'thun warlock.
was testing some stuff with friends and finally pulled it out to ladder I think mecha'thun for geist is fun. My logic is that Mecha'thun is the largest neutral legendary we can pull without any negative side effects.
This is the ideal hand late game that wins you most of your matches. The tempo swing that The Boomship offers is AMAZING. 9 mana for The Lich King, Ysera, and some random card all with rush is just disgusting.
Odd Warrior just incase anyone wants it I had a request in chat ask me to make this so I did!

Without anymore talk ill get straight into the guide.
Mulligan!!!!!
Against aggro -->keep your eternium rover. If you know its warlock you never know if its zoo so keep brawl and blood razor if you can. Drywhisker armorer is the best minion against aggro as it contest early drops well. keeping shield slams and execute isnt a bad idea either.
Against control --> against control you want to find your cycle. such as acolyte of pain, and shield block. this is so that you can keep up in threats against their big drops. and force them to react to your draw which will delay their combo/development.
So as I was saying previously the plan is that you start with strong clears/weapons to get you through the early game then you use your legendary minions with strong effects to carry the game later on.
Shield Slam - A really efficient clear that is good against medium/large minions when you have some armor.
Whirlwind - There is one copy of this card in here because we already have a lot deal 1 damage effects. However this effect can wipe out Paladins or just proc the Grommash 10 damage charge combo that we have.
Dead Man's Hand - We have this in our deck just so we can have more value and win against control decks that try to go longer than us. Also we can copy our spells that clear so that we can continue to clear threats against aggro.
Drywhisker Armorer - The card is amazing against token decks! If you think of a board of Paladin tokens playing this card negates all damage the tokens will do and with our clears we can just sweep the board right after we play it.
Execute - Easily one of the best cards in this deck due to the fact that we can kill any minion that we want with our deal 1 damage effects to proc it. Not much else to say other than save it for something BIG like Lich King or a huge taunt. (Against aggro use it on a high threat minion like Hench-Clan Thug or an Edwin VanCleef.
Slam - One of.. Just used to either clear or draw cards. A popular combo with this card is to slam your own Acolyte of Pain. for a two card draw on the spot.
Warpath - This card is nuts in the late game. For its value you can deal up to 5 damage to all minions for 10 mana. In most cases that is a full clear. What can I say other than wowzers.
Weapons Project - One of the newer cards to the Control Warrior. This card is one of the ways we can make our Shield Slam a more powerful clear. Also gives us a 2/3 weapon that is very anti aggro. The downside however is not as bad as it seems. In most cases we do not care about the armor they gain and the 2/3 weapon is on par or less than the weapon they can have. It can also take out weapons like Twig of the World Tree or Aluneth. Lastly you can Harrison Jones the opponent's weapon for a nice draw 3.
Shield Block - A really good anti aggro tool that we have on our hands. Helps to strengthen Shield Slam and draws us a card.
Blood Razor - Another whirlwind effect that we have. The weapon is a mini Swipe and then if you attack you can try to kill it again for another mini Swipe.
Brawl - Our main board clear in Control Warrior. This card should be used in the most dire of circumstances as its very powerful and we only have two. Note that one minion WILL remain after we Brawl, so do be careful that you can clear the minion that is leftover or that minion will be a non-factor.
Giggling Inventor - This card is easily the best neutral in the set. The card offers two much needed taunts with bubbles on them which can block an average of 4 attacks which would have gone elsewhere. Amazing defensive capabilities and a good statline.
Dr. Boom, Mad Genius - Without any mech synergy other than Zilliax which already has charge this card is in our deck for the Control aspect that the hero power provides. The hero powers are very control oriented and can help us last longer or go on the aggressive.
Grommash Hellscream - Good source of removal or a very strong finisher when 10 damage is needed.
Acolyte of Pain - Our main draw engine for the deck. This card is good to contest tokens. It also can help to act as a soft taunt as the opponent doesn't want you to draw 3 from the card and gain max value.
Harrison Jones - A good tech card for weapon based classes such as [deck]Rogue[/deck] or [deck]Warrior[/deck]. Synergies with Weapons Project.
Zilliax - Strong anti-aggro tool that can help us gain life with the lifesteal it has. It has great stats as well as a divine shield to block the first points of damage it will take.
Skulking Geist - This can ruin Odd Rogue's Cold Blood combo as well as other new cards that can cause us trouble. I big note on this card **** you can burn druid's core cards like Floop's Glorious Gloop, Lesser Jasper Spellstone, and Naturalize(which is core in Mecha'thun decks for their finisher to kill off the card).
The Black Knight - The best tech card ever printed. There will always be taunt cards in the meta and this card is very efficient for what it does.
Baron Geddon - A stronger version of Whirlwind and a high threat minion that your opponent has to deal with or will take 9 points of damage each turn.
The Lich King - The best card printed from the Knights of the Frozen Throne. It continues to deliver and thrives in control decks because it is a large taunt that forces your opponent to react to it whilst providing strong tools that you can use to keep applying pressure.
Alexstrasza - This card is a big minion that needs to be dealt with. We play Alex for the effect it has. You can deal up to 15 damage to your opponent OR heal yourself for up to 14 if you are at 1 hp. This card is great for stabilizing.
>Turn 200 against quest priest
>Down to fatigue
>Been here for almost 6 hours now, it all comes down to this.
>He's getting desperate and was forced to swap DK Andiun into a Dr. Boom he stole
The year is now 2048
>We're both fatiguing for around 8 damage, luckily I had tons of armour and was in control of the board.
>Finally get him down to 1 health
>He plays Amara
>Alysrazor
>It's over. It's finally over.
He survived a turn 10 Barron Geddon, Mechthun and Ysera Rush.
He survived the Lich King's overbearing presence.
He even survived a 20/20 double Mech'thun.
LOL top meme
Use it on 1 durability or if they are near 10 to limit the effect of the twig. Ex. You are turn 8 and he coming up on 9 mana next turn you use weapons project and break their twig so they cant use their extra 10 mana, but they get 10 mana. Its a tradeoff that is worth it for you since you dont have to deal with their 20 mana turn
How would taking out twig of the world Tree early be helpful to you? You will have given them 10 mana crystals
Yeah just don't use it on turn 4!
Is baron geddon replacable ?
harrison for a type of ooze take voodoo doll out for geist
thanks for the answer, i'll try that :)
Yeah it is! Just use primordial drake for more defense.
hi, which legendaries should I priorize on the Craft? I already've Alex and Boom. Sorry, i'm kind of newbie so I dont even know how to Begin It.
also, could I fit deathwing in this?
Hello! thanks for looking at the deck I really appreciate it! So first of all I remember when I was playing Hearthstone I wanted to play the most expensive deck I could make, but It was just not optimal without all the dust. Ill tell you right now that this deck is super expensive compared to what you want to spend in dust and what you need to spend. The dust you have is pretty valuable early on and I would recommend a newer player to invest in zoo warlock or try some cheaper mech warrior since you already have boom. I wouldnt dare use deathwing in the deck listed above bc its just not what the deck wants. So again I would recommend some other class to play. I wouldnt mind helping you if you want a certain direction to go towards such as aggro or combo. Best of luck and thanks again!
Oh, dont worry, I was already looking for something with grommash, alex and lich king (also, i do have dust for both anyway). I'm trying my best for It, i dont care that much cuz those legendaries Still present in most decks anyway.
/edit: actually lichking and gromash was already crafted, its missing Ysera, The boomship, geddon, Harrison, mossy and the doll
do you stream using this deck? I really want to see it in action before sinking so much dust into it
yeah i can stream it but if you are hesitating making this deck i dont recommend it for you. Do no make this deck there are plenty of other decks that you can make that are more fun/viable/interesting etc. I just dont want to be the reason you lose all your dust. Good luck out there though thanks for viewing my deck it means a lot.
well i loved control warrior back in the day so this kinda takes me back. Anyways i was wondering if you could post the WR with the deck so far? and if zilliax would be a decent squeeze (for healing and late game board control with discovered mechs)?
For the voodoo ideally you can proc it with the 4 mana weapon or warpath/play voodoo onto a minion as a 3 mana 1/1 on board. Sometimes you run into situations where it is too inefficient to execute, shield slam, or remove it period. The Voodoo Doll does get in the way of the boomship but you should try using your cheap cards first then use the boomship.
could you make an odd version of this ?
yeah let me make one real quick just a skeleton of what should be in it. https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1162779-tbp-odd-warrior
warrior is the only class that i dont have ( i dont have any legendaries for him)
<pre id="tw-target-text" class="tw-data-text tw-ta tw-text-medium" dir="ltr" data-placeholder="Translation" data-fulltext="">but I enjoyed this deck so much, so I'll create it on day one </pre>This deck looks like a ton of fun. Warrior is my only golden class and I long for the glory days when Control Warrior could have an impact on the meta. I'm making this deck first and crafting Dr Boom Mad Genius no matter what. I have all the other legs except Black Knight...not sure whether to craft him (because he's classic so he'll be around forever) or just replace him. If I replace him, I was thinking with a basic control card instead of removal like the 3 mana, gain 5 armor, draw a card (can't believe the name escapes me).
