Ahoy mateys! I used this dragon warrior to reach top 10 legend. It made me really happy that dragons can work in warrior, especially in the control version! The list excels in the meta and performs better than the standard version, especially against mages and priests!
Check out my stream, I play awesome decks competitively and you can also watch the videos of the climb with the deck there if you're interested! twitch.tv/urkoth
Mulligans and the game plan
Burn/Freeze Mage: We want to gain lots of armor. Save the armorsmiths for the big whirlwind effects and get your Alley Armorsmiths going, especially on turn 5. Try not to use the shield block if you can't hero power during the same turn as well. Since the dragons are big, you can afford to not use your hero power here and there if it gives us lots of tempo, otherwise stick to the plan of gaining armor through the hero power, even if it involves coining it out after you play a card. Keep Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Armorsmith, Shieldblock, Acolyte of Pain, Alley Armorsmith.
Aggro Murloc Paladin: Get rid of their early stuff as much as you can. If you're not able at the moment, set up big clears. Murlocs are a priority target. Keep Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Acolyte of Pain. Sleep with the fishes is optional.
Aggro Druid: Clear their board but don't use the brawl and AoE if it's not needed. Dirty Rat can win or lose you the game, be careful it's risky but it might pay off to play it on turn 2. Keep Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Acolyte of Pain, Sleep with the fishes, Dirty Rat and Armorsmith are optional keeps.
Control Priest: Get em with dragons, they can't deal with them. There's not a better version of warrior than this one against them. I even keep Ysera because I realized how much they like to play Dirty rat on turn 2, and if they don't she just wins the game anyway. Don't play the Dirty Rat if you don't have a removal in hand. Keep Fiery War Axe, Acolyte of Pain, Twilight Drake, Ysera is optional.
Questard rogue: Dirty Rats. Throw everything away for them, including the Fiery War Axe. They really help a lot. Don't destroy their Igneous Elemental. Keep Dirty Rats.
Token Shaman: Don't use Fiery War Axe or removal on the small things, save them for Flametongue or Mana tide totem. Play around bloodlust! Discover more Primordial drakes and try to play around devolve by not overextending on the board if you don't need to. This is usually an easy match-up. Keep Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Acolyte of Pain, Sleep with the fishes is optional and I also like keeping a Dirty Rat.
Pirate Warrior: Remove the pirates, set up the taunts and gain some armor. Frothing Berzerker is our priority target for removing. Keep Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Acolyte of Pain, Armorsmith, Dirty Rat.
Thanks for reading, I will update the mulligans and game plan section if the deck receives some love from the community, I definitely have been having tons of fun playing it! Feel free to post any question or thought in the comments!
You can try my N'zoth or one my control warriors, Siska.
I cant imagine this deck is worth making without those two. Netherspite is probably one of the most important cards because it's giving you powerful options on dragons. Book Wyrm is part of the board clearing/defensive side of the deck and is also very important. They aren't too expensive to craft. If I were you, and you were planning to anything with dragon decks, I'd immediately craft Netherspites.
Interesting deck... Will give it a try for sure :)
Have fun, Xyr0phone!
playing this deck at rank 3-2 will see how it does.
Good luck, Acre1!
didnt go very well back to rank 5
Amazing Deck. I’m really enjoy the game with it. Get 4000 to 1000 legend rank in one day.
Great work Rhino and I'm glad you enjoyed the climb!
Autoloss to quest war, so strictly inferior
That's not true at all. Just because your weak in one match up that doesn't even come up all that often does not make the deck inferior.
The deck can outperform quest warrior in other match ups which are much more frequent.
why 2x twilight dragon?
I'd rather go with +1 book wyrm and +1 gromash.
what do you think?
and what about curator+ direhorn for more consintency on dragon card?
... and what about stonehill defender?
Feel free to experiment NoGameNoCesco, I like having 6 dragons in dragon decks. Bookwyrm isn't that amazing, so I wouldn't run 2 of them. Curator is interesting if you find a place for a beast.
oh thanks :D
would you run this deck in a tournament lineup?
Yea, I will be playing it on my stream in a tournament in 5 minutes!
how exactly are you going to enrage grommash after playing it?
while having 2 Sleep with the Fishes i suggest adding a Whirlwind instead of another Book Wyrm.
i miss one sleep with the fishes, is it essential or can it be replaced?
Go for one whirlwind, slam or doomsayer. Or go for Elise if you're feeling greedy, findikjelibo.
Heyo Snake, you can try a Doomsayer, Whirlwind or a Slam.
Way too little whirlwind effects or other Execute activators. It is almost useless to run Execute with this deck. 9/10 times i had to trade in a minion to then do the last 1 or 2 damage with an Execute you could as well just run Slam.
No real lategame and way too vulnerable against midrange decks. Even Burn Mage is a hard matchup because it is really hard to keep removing their minions and at the same time generating much armor with this deck because that is the only way you win this matchup.
I honsetly dont know why you would run this deck atm. Aggro is not that popular right now.
