Ahoy friends! This is the list I used to climb to top 100 legend after experimenting with decks and builds. - Proof - I love playing playing control warrior and think that it's one of the best performing decks in this meta. And I do think it's better than the quest warrior.
The reason for control warrior performing so well is the current state of the meta. I will go a bit more in-depth about it during the match-up discussion.
Match-ups:
Mage: Favored. We can win through armor gain whether it is the control or aggro version. Be careful though, mage decks are pretty strong right now.
Hunter: Favored. They can win if we don't have an answer if they go for a big hyena during the early stage. Otherwise it's easy for us, clear their stuff and win.
Rogue: Unfavored. Just like any deck that doesn't go straight face from turn one, we are unfavored against the quest rogue. Game strategy is waiting for Blizzard to nerf it. Games are still winnable if we pressure them a lot and lethal with Gromm or silence the Igneous Elemental . We are favored against miracle rogue though.
Paladin: Favored/Even. Paladins are tough but with our Gluttonous Ooze and Spellbreaker techs we are in a really solid spot against them. Save the Ooze for Tirion Fordring!
Druid: Favored. We are in a greeeeeat spot against them! Especially with double Whirlwind and double Sleep with the Fishes. Their only way to win is double innervating a threat on turn 1 that we can't answer.
Priest: Favored. It's the silence priest most of the time and if we remove their minions early on, we're in a good spot. Brawl can also be a good card in this match-up.
Shaman: Favored. We have enough removal against the bloodlust version. I met only a few controlish versions and won those games.
Warrior: Taunt even, pirate favored. Be proactive against the taunt version. We have enough removals and life gain against the pirates so it is a pretty easy win for us most of the time.
If you have some questions, comments, suggestions etc, post them bellow or ask on my stream where I play these kind of decks competitively twitch.tv/urkoth
EDIT: Since you awesome people gave some love for this awesome deck, let's include some mulligan and playstyle tips!
Mulligan:
Fiery War Axe is a keep against everything and the most important early game card. You don't have to mulligan hard for it though.
Whirlwind is good against token classes, Ravaging Ghoul is better to keep though.
Acolyte of Pain is good versus control since the games usually don't go to fatigue anymore, so drawing cards from it gives us more proactive options. It's still good in other match-ups, saving one in the starting hand is fine most of the time.
Armorsmith is hard to remove early so it's usually a fine keep vs aggro. She represents a win condition condition with whirlwind effect against mages, so save her for a big armor gain turn against them.
Sleep with the Fishes is not a keep usually but can be useful if our opponent plays lots of minions early on and we do have a lot of activators for it. I do think that it's not correct to keep it most of the time.
Alley Armorsmith is a fine keep against mages if we already have early game cards next to it, especially Fiery War Axe.
Execute is a fine keep against priests.
Gluttonous Ooze is good against warriors and paladins, though it should be saved for Tirion most of the time. I even sometimes keep it against mages if I'm expecting early Medivh.
Grimestreet Informant is not a keep even though he can be played on turn 2. He excels at late game or even mid game.
Trust your guts and enjoy the deck!
We shouldn't be greedy with war-axe and shouldn't play around it but that is a good observation zac, it did come to my mind before. And glad that you're enjoying the deck!
I find with your decklist of 6 aoe effects and 2 armorsmiths it's easier to play greedier in some situations. Currently 6-1 with 1 loss to jade druid who had perfect ramp into a auctioneer with two innervates on turn 6. This is is by far my favorite control warrior list yet.

Control warrior and priest Jo, all day, every day!
I have been using this deck. I recommend dirty rat instead of grimestreet outfitter, as there are a lot of big minions it can pull in this meta (alex, medivh, tarim, lightlord). i would also add alexstraza.
Dirty rat is definitely good in control warrior, nysupastar! It all depends on the match-ups you are targeting. We are already in a good spot without it but it can be added with the main goal to have a bit better chance vs the quest rogue.
SeemsGood did pretty well with this deck I feel like it's super consistent great work friend :D !
Ayyy Kristophesaurus, always good to see you bud! Thanks for the quality video, good games!
:3
Would be cool if you could stop BMing and missplaying, mr. khristophesaurus.

How would you feel about a 2nd informer in place of elise? I'm not sure how many decks she fits into so I'm not sure if it'd be worth it to craft over something else.
Elise is just too good itsjoystick and I recommend you craft her, she will also bring you more joy to the game.
Alright I'll trust.
very solid deck. thank you very much.
Thank you masamunevntn, very glad you're enjoying it!
I'm really struggling with the early game with this deck. How exactly should I play it? I can never seem to put in a decent amount of damage.
War axe rocks! We still have double whirlwinds and double sleep with the fishes along with armorsmiths so we're usually fine. Even if our early draws aren't perfect, we still have a solid chance of stabilizing, Godo. Play smart, friend.
Elise is trivial to this deck?
Absolutely Gremash, she's good and reaaaally fun to play.
