When the new expansion came out, I've always wondered if it is possible to play Highlander Warrior. I've tried many ways to construct the best deck. This is the far best Highlander Warrior which ties the hands of other Highlander decks. I've played this deck from Rank 3 to Rank Legend. Enjoy!

Thanks for 10k+ views and generous upvotes! As I've promised, here is mulligan guide:
The deck is called Highlander. Which means, we are only able to use a card once in our deck. Due to that, we should be much more careful in order to maintain greatest results. The deck simply requires more brain than other control warrior decks. The player should be able to play around full boards and such. For example, due to having 1 brawl in our deck, we should be looking for other options first to clear the board. This is why I've decided to write a guide and share deck code with you guys. I'll be briefly explaining this deck on a video, which should be aired in few days. Best of Luck!
Mulligan tier list:
Perfect: Eternium Rover Town Crier Frightened Flunky Dr. Boom, Mad Genius
Good: Shield Block SN1P-SN4P Acolyte of Pain
Against Aggro: Warpath Restless Mummy Militia Commander Weapons Project
Against Control: Armagedillo Supercollider
Against Mage: Supercollider Brawl Big Game Hunter Shield Slam
If you are facing a lot of control warriors, you can swap Weapons Project and Harrison Jones with Faceless Manipulator and Baleful Banker (for copying his elysiana)

Nice work man. Well Done!
can i replace Siamat × 1 , Zephrys the Great × 1 and Sandbinder × 1????
Maybe you can replace Sandbinder but you can't replace Siamat and Zephrys the Great because this is highlander deck
No, seriously. Is there a replacement for Siamat+Sandbinder? I'm currently running that taunt minion with rush and card draw but not sure if it's the right substitution.

I've played over 20 matches with this deck and can quite say that if you can pilot the deck well, you would be legend in a few days.
Totally upvoted. Well played.
Such a fun deck to play with! It's extremely versatile and definitely more entertaining than other warrior decks :D
I made a video Showcasing the deck in all its glory, I hope you all enjoy!
This deck is pretty mediocre. The trade off is not worth it. Control warrior works, because it's consistent.
Great deck, and great idea! Forge all the haters who cant understand why someone would play a "fun" deck rather than only the popular "better' decks. Good on you mate!
Keep em coming.
thanks for good wishes! i appreciate any kind of comment and i will try to improve my deck based on suggestions. It was a fun week for me a lot of cards got included and excluded. Still trying to perfect it. I hope i can see this deck gets more popular, because i can see it does work on current meta.
Any type of control warrior is still a braindead deck, play on curve remove all and pray u can fatigue em...
No skill whatsoever even if u make a highlander version.
i respectfully disagree your opinion. I might agree this opinion on regular control taunt warrior but its not valid for highlander version. I have a lot of different plays on every turn and a braindead person cant do anything with this deck.
it's fun but hard to win
it definitely needs control warrior experience and i view this deck as the ultimate form of control warrior. since i started to play this deck i find other control warrior decks as no-brain decks :)
Weak decks are always difficult to play.
That's a pretty bold and unfounded claim, unless by "ultimate", you mean "weaker". What you did was basically that you replaced quite of few of premium cards in the standard control warrior with their inferior/obsolete versions only to be able to play Zephyr (possibly twice, of you draw Brewmaster in time). Whirlwind is vastly inferior to Warpath, Militia Commander is inferior to Mummy, Armagedillo works worse because you have fewer taunts and you can only run one copy of the Flunker, Assembly, Omega Devastator and Tomb Warden, which are THE strongest cards in the set. The Zerus cannot counterbalance that (most often, it works just like another board clear which you can include into your deck directly without crippling the list). The 5% loss of average winrate reflects this quite well.
There is a reason strong decks are easier to play - they present consistent, powerful plays that work more often. There is nothing brainy about filling a deck with mediocre card, then roping every turn while having hard time surviving, then losing anyway.
I don't understand this deck. Warrior got no highlander support. You're better off just using a normal deck, putting zephrys in it, and using it near the end of the deck, like what murloc paladin does.
Warrior has no highlander support yes but think zephyrs as a 2x board clear guarenteed. I tried versions as you mention like normal warriors with zephyrs endgame option but zephyrs pack is dead cards when you draw it and you cant use it untill turn 25-30 and probably made you end up losing that game because other cards might be more useful than unactive zephyrs.
and again, i understood your point but this deck still can survive vs aggro and can win vs control value war.
1 little example, how many times you wished you had 2x mass dispel vs quest paladin full of eggs or undatakah :)
im not sure if cutting consistent control warrior cards for the benefit of running zephrys is worth, but its worth a shot
this deck is absolute awesome! i have much fun playing it
