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!
Hi! Titan_HS I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your deck, this is by far my favorite deck, not only does it fair well but it is extremely fun to play!!! it's refreshing to play something else as a warrior besides taunt or pirate!
The only notable swaps I've made in the deck were including Harrison Jones in for the ooze because I do not have the ooze, and Alexstrasza in for Ysera along with removing one sleep with the fishes for Gorehowl.
I look forward to your next deck and once again thank you for giving us a different and unique way to Hearthstone!!!
Have a great day!!!
Heyoo Reason17, very glad to hear that! Consider checking out my stream twitch.tv/urkoth, I'll be playing the control warrior tomorrow and my twitter https://twitter.com/Titan_HS2 , I post all the awesome decklists there!
Do you think Control Warrior is the best Warrior atm among Taunt,N'zoth and Pirate ?
They are all strong but this one is the most fun IMO, Zakonix!
Elise is good for control decks in general, Drdoomb. Gromm is used in control warriors, but not in taunt or N'zoth. Ysera is not needed that much in this meta.
Hi Titan,
To defeat Jade druid that become more popular, which tech card can we cut to include Deathwing?
1 Primordial Drake or Grimestreet Informant
Inner Fire and Divine spirit. No control warrior beats Jade druid, Darka.
Wanting to play this deck but I dont have Grommash Hellscream should I go for it and craft him?
Yea BURNZWITHAS, he's awesome.
Do you think Ysera is necessary for the deck ? or Elise Trailblazer ? and if they are not key to the deck what can replace them ? oh and how do you deal with Token Druid or Aggro hunter at early phases of the game meaning till 5 ?
Ysera isn't necessary but Elise is. Token druid and aggro hunters are easy wins for us, try to remove their stuff as much as you can, Zakonix!
Yo ty for reply , so what can i replace Ysera with ?
Alexstrasza, Gorehowl, second grimestreet informant etc.
Which one should I craft. Ysera or Elise? Only 2 cards I'm missing. Thanks
Elise, for sure, Uzumax.
I don't like Gorehowl in this meta and I certainly wouldn't replace it for whirlwind. You can try it instead of spellbreaker though, George!
Hi Titan_Hs
Thanks for posting this nice deck which I gave a try.
I just miss Elise the Trailblazer. Do you think she's necessary ? I replaced it with Bloodmage Thalnos for the card draw but I am not convinced. You have any suggestion ? I could afford her though, if it's really worth it. Can't say for sure.
Also I often have trouble with pirate warrior, which I think ruins the meta ...
Craft her Thesos, she's the best card you can craft right now to get a great game experience, next to Lyra the Sunshard. And pirate warriors are easy for us, not sure how you're having trouble with them.
Unless they have no luck in card draw, they go too fast with face dmg and I don't have time to settle good defence/board or have enough armor.
Vs them, I mulligan this way :
- whirlwind
- armorsmith
- axe
- sleep with the fishes (not always sure about this one, but definetely keep it when I have a whirlwind)
- ghoul
- acolyte
- ooze
I put minions on board when I can (maybe too quickly ?) but it simply is too fast. So I get overwhelmed.
I will try elise to see if that helps, but that's more of a late game help I guess.
nice control deck, even this one maybe not top tier, but it's fun
-1 primordial +1 barron geddon because sometime you need clearance at turn 7
this was my game play vs priest, which got elementals synergy from ungoro pack include kalimos XD and turn into aggro lol
