Hearthpwn

 Bottom line:  If Charge is the problem then say it plainly in the rationale and advise that this was a quick fix while they work to overhaul the entire mechanic or eliminate it.  I think they need to be more upfront about it.  You take this away and you are really diminishing warrior, which had limited options before the patron warrior deck came into game.  I don't appreciate the notion of taking something out when a replacement is being offered to warriors at the same time.

Blizzard had horrible nerf bats in WoW at one time where everyone was ground down.  I hope that doesn't happen here.

I've had a few days to think on this.  My problem with what happened here is that Warsong is the poster child for a larger problem: Charge.  Well, Charge has been the catalyst for a ton of decks that haven't really been nerfed (including face hunter, etc).  So if the problem with Warsong isn't the card but the ability, then would it not be more productive to change the mechanic or remove it altogether than to destroy one of the two basic warrior deck constructs?  I wasn't a fan of the suggestion that Warrior really wasn't popular on the Arena rung anyway etc. as a rationale.

If this in fact was the first step in a larger overhaul or elimination of the Charge mechanic, then at a minimum the explanation provided by Blizzard should have been more blunt about it.

Well it is unfortunate that they found this necessary.  I found Grim Patron decks quite manageable in the current meta.  Just took some strategy.  Oh well.

I had been using a modified deck off of the Legend 2 leader deck on Hearthpwn.  It uses 1 ghoul which can be effective on agro...

Thank you.  Geddon is the only one I don't have.  I usually don't have Harrison in the deck because of the slow play and lack of concern for the most part about weapons coming back at me.  I have a Black Knight as well which is usually a surprise to most to see.  It is however very appreciated.

Hmm what is going to come out of the deck haha.  The "matrix" is fairly set in control warrior.  Not many empty slots to fill.  I suppose I could replace an acolyte and a ghoul in my deck with those two.  Or get rid of a taskmaster, but I find them to have so much utility.

interesting.  Thanks for the advice about Deathlords.  I could throw them in instead of Sludge Belchers.

I have a legendary control warrior deck (net approved etc).  I find it so difficult to ramp up when I am combatting Face Hunter.  It is a very slow moving deck for the most part as you build up armor and demolish minions etc.

Can I get some advise on ranking in the meta?  Should I be using a different deck to get through the 20-15 bracket?  Why I can't break through 18 with this deck is beyond me.  Never had problems getting at least to 15 without struggle in past metas when I tried.

That's what I thought.  Many thanks.  I've been playing Dreadsteed a lot for fun and love it.  A gold one was in a pack so I had to make a deck around it :)

Can someone explain to me the comment about getting four dreadsteeds before dropping Baron?  Do you mean four before Baron dies?  I don't see a way to dupe the dreadsteeds in the deck without the Baron so perhaps someone could educate me? 

I just envision a legendary laden deck with bad draws waiting to unleash varian lol.  Waiting to see.

I agree.  I am on the fence on this but really want to put a new CW deck together.  thank you for replies

Honest opinions on which to craft first?  Isn't Justicar a more flexible and balanced approach?  Just curious what Control Warriors think.  Also obvious that as a neutral can go into other decks like Pally.

I want to dust my Skeleton Knight and one other bad legendary from the TGT.  Does anyone have historic knowledge about rebalancing legendaries shortly after expansions?  Would hate to dust and then find they offer complete replacement value for the card in dust ;P

I have played all kinds of variants with this deck.  The fascinating issues that arise are these: (1) priming the pump:  you have to have a way to feed more cards into the deck or you will lose a GREAT DEAL more than win.  The acolytes are essential and I am contemplating where we might add one more card, like an Azure Drake; (2) sequencing with Mana.  Thaurissian might be essential too.  I have been playing without him but yes I can see where his inclusion might be essential to more consistent wins; (3) debating whether 1 or 2 blades are important in the deck.  So many ways to spawn the Patrons already.

I love Grom.  I find the deck is so primed to cause Enrages that he fits in perfectly.  Kelthuzad?  Not sure.  I threw a Dr. Boom in for fun because the enrages also prime the mines heh. 

So many synergies in the deck its a beauty when it works....
