OVERALL STRATEGY

This deck relies on the synergies between Grim Patron, Frothing Berserker and Warsong Commander

You want to control the board with all the usual warrior control cards such as: Shield Slam, Execute, Fiery War Axe, Death's Bite. Meanwhile, you are digging for more cards with Loot Hoarder, Acolyte of Pain, Shield Block and Battle Rage.

Once you get a Warsong Commander my friend, it is time to roll. Turn on Darude - Sandstorm. ALL of your minions (Grim Patron, Frothing Berserker, Loot Hoarder, Acolyte of Pain, Armorsmith, Cruel Taskmaster and Unstable Ghoul) can be buffed by the commander.

You will now get a board full of Grim Patron and/or two Frothing Berserkers on fire. Thanks to all the damage triggering cards (Unstable Ghoul, Death's Bite, Cruel Taskmaster, Whirlwind, Battle Rage) and all the enemy minions on the board, you will easily get back full control of the board + direct damage to the opponent's face. Usually the next turn the dude will concede.

Grim Patron's are actually hard to clear, they are safe against Swipe, Unleash the Hounds, Blizzard for exemple. You will only die against heavy AoE such as Flamestrike or Oil Rogue combo. But hopefully you have so much armor and card draw that you can build your next attack with another Grim Patron.

SOME CARD CHOICES

Why not Brawl? The idea of Grim Patron is that you NEED a board to be able to develop efficiently. Brawl is a good tempo card but it is not suited for this build.

Why not Grommash Hellscream? You don't actually lack damage power and you win via control rather than real face damage. The idea is that you win because your opponent no longer has any available card to deal with your full board of Grim Patron. Plus Frothing Berserker is here to provide additional fire power. If you really want to get one then you want to remove one Frothing Berserker.

STRATEGY VS. CLASSES

Obviously the strategy depends on the opponent but most of the time you want to get Armorsmith, Acolyte of Pain, Fiery War Axe. If you play against druid, you may want to keep an execute or a shield slam, while you will keep a Whirlwind or a Death's bite against a face hunter.

FACE HUNTER - EASY - Believe it or not, this one is an easy match-up. Get Armorsmith, Cruel Taskmaster, Whirlwind, Shield Block ASAP and build up your armor. Get Grim Patron on the board ASAP and you will win the game.

RAMP DRUID - MEDIUM - The trouble is that the druid has heavy units. You need to get Shield Slam and Execute to get rid of his early Ancients. 

I'll try to post a video and explain more the dynamics whenever I can. Please enjoy!
