Who am i? (None of your business )
So my name is Jaco, a 3x legend player (I know is not that much) that absolutely loves Grim Patron Im from spain, so sorry for my mistakes writing this guide
Wow, this deck just reached the frontpage! Thank you all guys, I really appreciate it, guide in coming! :D
Deck:
Since the nerf of Warsong Commander people has thought that patron warrior is dead, but I'm here to prove it's not, I got legend yesterday with this patron deck (no Warsong Commander nor Frothing Berserker)
It's a more control-ish version of the deck which runs cards like Grommash Hellscream and Dr. Boom
Legend proof:
¿How to play the deck?
I dont really have that much time right now, so I'll write a guide whenever I reach some likes in this deck :)

Mulligan:
-Against combo druid: Since druid has a pretty bad way to deal with multiple patrons you wanna keep Fiery War Axe for a possible early Darnassus Aspirant, and you also want Death's Bite, Inner Rage and Grim Patron that way you can get 4 patrons at turn 5, which is usually a game winning play against druid.
-Against tempo mage: You want to always get a way to deal with an early Mana Wyrm so you probably want Fiery War Axe, you also want Acolyte of Pain and Armorsmith
Against face hunter: Fiery win axe, Unstable Ghoul and Armorsmith, you may also want to keep Slam to deal with Knife Juggler and Cruel Taskmaster to deal with Leper Gnome or Worgen Infiltrator
-Against handlock: You may want cards like Piloted Shredder, Death's Bite and Acolyte of Pain, you may probably want to keep Execute just if you are sure it's handlock, BUT DON'T EXECUTE THE FIRST THREAT HE PLAYS.
-Against secret paladin: You want Fiery War Axe or Slam, Unstable Ghoul or Whirlwind to deal with early aggresion
-Against warrior: You just want the same cards like against Druid with addition of Acolyte of Pain
Guide:
So here we go with a little guide on how to play the deck, as you know with the Warsong Commander nerf we wont be able to do 30+ dmg to face in one turn by charging Frothing Berserkers. So our main goal of the deck is to overwhelm your opponent with multiple patrons that it's impossible for him to deal with.
Early Game:
Pretty much like the old patron or control warrior, you just try to estabilize the board control with weapons and draw some cards. Depending on the match up you want to use your cards in one way or another, for example against face hunter is fine to Slam a knife juggler just to kill it, while against some other control matchup you may be wanting to use it as a card draw and Execute activator.
Mid Game:
Basically between turns 4 to 6 we want to get patrons on the board, Death's Bite turn 4, Grim Patron + Inner Rage turn 5, and just go face or a minion with the weapon to spawn 5 patrons and keep snowballing from that point. Patrons are basically your win condition, so try to play around AoE as much as you can afford.
You also want to keep dropping minions, since mid game is where this deck works better, you also have minions like Piloted Shredder if you cant combo patrons, its just up to you.
Late Game:
You just try to finish off the game with powerful cards like Dr. Boom and an enraged Grommash Hellscream and keep applying pressure with patrons.
Replacements:
Many of you have been asking about replacements, so there you go:
Harrison Jones: This card is actually pretty meta-dependant, so if you aren't facing that many weapon classes you may want to swap him with Loatheb or even a 2nd Sludge Belcher
Grommash Hellscream: Unfortunately there is no real replacement for grommash, he is a very powerful card with a unique effect, you may want to swap him with Ragnaros the Firelord but it will NEVER be the same, so my recommendation is you to craft it asap.
Emperor Thaurissan: While thaurissan is a card with a very powerful effect, its not really necessary as many of you have said on the comments, I just run it because I love the card and works great, but you can try swapping him with Sylvanas, it's up to you.
Thx so much for watching this deck, dont forget to spam "Heh, greetings" emote when playing the Grim Patron
Can I replace dr boom with stormwind champion? 7/7 body with buffs on patrons
Do you mind sharing your win rate with this deck? Just anyone playing it really. Curious to know. Also if you play on EU or NA. I peaked at 67% but now i'm down to 54%, getting rekt by secret paladin and hunter.
nice deck man just hitted legend with it today but you should replace thaurissan with a bgh to have a better matchup against handlock and a good removal option more.
another thing about thaurissan is that the card doesnt get as good discounts as before because you dont have the otk combo anymore.
thaurissan is just a wasted deckslot in my opinion in patron.
I replaced Thaurissan with Justicar.
when a mage plays spell slinger and it gives you soul of the forest.....
..
What can i "replace" drboom and garrosh with?
a different deck
For budget options, you could try swapping out Boom for a Stormwind Champion. It's not as good as a straight 7 drop, but it'll make your board harder to deal with.
Grom's also hard to replace. Best shot is just anything big. North Sea Kraken wouldn't be terrible.
I love how everyone forgets how their time before Boom was... he's run in like 80% of all decks, period, so yeah you're going to see that question a lot. Is it really STILL getting upvoted when people come back with no answer and just a snarky remark? At least Khosan had the decency to not act like a damn snob and answer the question WHICH IS A SERIOUS QUESTION and deserves a serious response to anyone who has yet to craft the legendaries... So sick of the "why even bother playing without X or Y?" attitude.
How does this deck do against secret paladin?
Very good. This deck destroys secret paladins and face hunters. Druids have been the most hard for me, and handlock. But i don't see handlocks very often.
How do you beat Secret paladin with this deck? I can understand face hunter, thats a 50/50 matchup for me. But secret paladin is like10/90.
Any replace for Harrison Jones, other than the acidic swamp ooze or another sludge ?
replacement for boom?
also I haven't found much use for thaurisan, is he really needed?
I played this deck from rank 5 to legend and I opted to use Sylvanas over Emperor. As for replacing Boom, my recommendations are twofold: 1. Craft him asap, he is here to stay 2. I'd probably use Rag as a placeholder but it wont be nearly as good
Please call this deck Revenant
Idk if im using this deck correctly i have a 29% win rank...
0/10 Instructions unclear, cannot spam "Heh, greetings" with Magni.
Kappa
this deck took me from rank 3 to legend for the first time!!
