Hey guys,
I have to say that this deck is absolutely INSANE. Main thing is to mulligan for Gather Your Party And every single armor you could possibly get. Then turn 6 Gather Your Party could pull out anything and its really big threat so you can wait till turn 8. Then use Woecleaver or draw it by Forge of Souls and start your recruit madness.
Tips and tricks.
-If your turn 6 Gather Your Party summon Dragonhatcher its prolly the best otucome. because it pulls out Ysera , Deathwing orOnyxia, or even Sleepy Dragon to protect the Dragonhatcher for the next recruit.
-Against aggro you are just looking for armor, Blood Razor + Sleep with the Fishes and Whirlwind to clear as much threats as possible.
Thanks for your time and if you liked this warrior deck, be sure to rate up! if you really like it i can write whole guide for you. ENJOY

CHANGE LOG :
so recently i cut 2 copies of Slam and replaced them with single copies of Reckless Flurry and Dead Man's Hand so here's the explanation.
Dead Man's Hand - this card is a good comeback mechanic, its very valuable when you draw plenty of minions and your recruit mechanisms are still in the deck. you can simply double your big minions.
Reckless Flurry - this card seems like a really good board clear, there is only single copy because you have Bladed Gauntlet and its useless without armor, so thats why i put only one copy, if you use this early you can armor back and then use the Gauntlet. or reverse
This is a fun deck, and I can see it even being even more fun in the upcoming standard. Thanks for posting.
Just a couple comments I have for the current list:
Dragonhatcher - I have played games with this deck where Dragonhatcher can be very low value (I draw or recruit my dragons). For those who own Deathwing, Dragonlord I recommend replacing the Dragonhatcher. Deathwing creates tempo swings just like Dragonhatcher, but it ultimately represents an additional 12/12 body instead of a 2/4.
Rotface - This card seems really fun and I like that it can create additional value for the deck. For me and some others, I'm still not 100% sure if I want to craft Rotface - so I tried to find a replacement that can also add value. With 4 weapons in the deck (+ 2 Spiked Shield), I thought I'd try 1 Mithril Spellstone. I don't know if it is better because I havent played Rotface, but I have had a lot of success with it so far.
Sleep with the Fishes - This is the one card I see that will rotate with standard soon. I haven't tried to replace it with anything yet but I was curious about your thoughts. Maybe the new set introduces some other kind of board clear, but maybe it doesn't.
Hey there, thanks for sharing your thoughts.
DRAGONS
i have created this deck kinda budget way cause i have a lot of dragons and was lucky with opening golden Rotface. I am not sure about Onyxia too. i wish i had Deathwing, Dragonlord but i still think that the Dragonhatcher is so good, especially when it pulls Ysera,Sleepy Dragon but when it pulls exactly Onyxia its still a 8-8 body but it can be easily destroyed without any usage.
ROTFACE
So i think Rotface is very good card, everytime a good outcome, you can make combo with active Blood Razor + Whirlwind, you would be so unlucky to get 2 bad legendaries in a row, personally Tirion Fordring was the most common outcome of all time i played this (LUL). Also Mithrill Spellstone is a great tempo swing. but i prefer Rotface.
I've been playing recruit warrior a bit myself and have found Dead Man's Hand to be very good. Just one in the deck is good in case your hand is filled with minions before your recruit mechanisms are in place. Plus u double up on some creature :).
I would probably replace it with one of your Slam cards, which will lower your minion draw bit as well.
Thanks for your feedback! i am currently testing this with one copy of Dead Man's Hand and a single copy of Reckless Flurry and i have to say that it works great, yeah shuffling your whole hand in your deck seems really OP, and its working out pretty well. im also testing the Sudden Genesis . i will do some changes and of course i will write changelog with explanations of these changes.
Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts! really appreciate this ;)
I've been playing a version of a deck like this for quite a while now - mainly because I wanted to get Warrior to 60 without getting bored.
What I've learned so far is that Reckless Flurry is good - and even Iron Hide with it is a good move. Plus it would let you cut that weapon and increase your odds of Woecleaver from the Forge of Souls.
I like Dragonhatcher - I used it because I was using Barnes in it before (though I would cut it now, and your deck is a post nerf so that changes things too.)
I don't see how Rotface should be in there - though you might just enjoy it. I have Grommash in mine, but everytime I pull it I'm disappointed - so I'll probably cut him.
I think this might be good after the nerf - plus we'll get plenty of dust from it and I can finish my version of the deck.
Thanks for your feedback! Rotface is there like additional value (Bc i got him golden from pack and wanted to play him somewhere) so lets say you have Blood Razor active, your Whirlwind or Slam in hand. Then you pull out Rotface and make a massive tempo swing of youre lucky with Rotface drop. so its not necessary to play him, but i liked that so i tried it out. for me Rotface is a funny RNG element and if you get lucky it could drop you Tirion Fordring or even something better (Tirion was my personal best drop after 2 summons from Rotface.
I like Dragonhatcher as well. its insanely valuable 9 drop (no shit about stats) personally he saved my life sometimes by pulling out Sleepy Dragon
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! i really appreciate it, Good luck on ladder! ENJOY ;)
Good luck with this.
i was testing this deck before posting, and i can say that it works. reason behind this deck is not to play yshaarj, its meant to be played for dragon synergy. And i really liked this archetype so i tried to build something that could be played after the nerfs. but you can type your opinion in comments and sure we can discuss your thoughts ;)
I was just testing this version out, and it seemed that Bladed Gauntlet is good enough for clearing big threats like Ysera , Spiteful Summoner drop or any big minion. of course there is place for Reckless Flurry. but i recommend to play both, more clear, more life. anyways, this deck is meant to be played for dragon synergy and yshaarj isnt there for a reason. but thank you for your opinion, constructive critic is welcome! ENJOY ;)
