Check out this Video for some hot Gunspire Action
KiwiiNbacon here. For those who don't know me, I'm a multiple time legendary player on the NA server. I also do deck showcase videos on youtube once in a while.
The Witchwoods expansion is finally upon us and for us to celebrate, I created a fantastic control warrior deck that may or may not change the way we think of warrior as a whole. Overall I would classify this as a major meme, but the capability of the deck to shred your opponent to pieces with a broadside of oversize cannonballs seems like its completely worth it.
The point of the deck is to survive until late game and overrun the board with big minions. Plenty of removal including a few rush minions and taunts are included to slow down the aggression which helps this deck get into the late game. I personally think that this deck has the potential to go absolutely bonkers if your opponent lets it go and will be a ton of fun to pilot in the upcoming weeks.
Deck Goal
What you want to achieve with this deck is quite simple. Get Blackhowl Gunspire to stick on the board by any mean possible. The following turn, play a Carnivorous Cube on the gunspire and duplicate it with Sudden Genesis, Faceless Manipulator or Prince Taldaram. Finally, kill your cubes and unleash swift blows to your opponent with Warpath and other board damaging effect and watch your opponent's defenses crumble in a beautiful pyrotechnic show.
MULLIGANS
no coin: you will be looking for Town Crier, Woodcutter's Axe Redband Wasp and Slam which would be the most efficient way to start the game
With coin: you can also keep Militia Commander and Saronite Chain Gang if you already have a one or two drop and either Slam or the Woodcutter's Axe
Interchangeable cards
Since this is major theorycraft, everything is currently on the table, if you have good ideas for the deck and if there are tech cards required I will add them here later but for the moment, many spots are up for grabs.
Card Choices
Town Crier: Most likely one of the best card in the expansion, also happens to have a bell.
Battle Rage: We are playing a self damaging deck you fool!
Dead Man's Hand: More Shooty = More wins
Execute: Tis a good card in a whirlwind packed deck
Redband Wasp: Float like a Glitter Moth, sting like a Redband Wasp.
Slam: You hurt AND draw, what more could you want.
Warpath: Didn't anyone ever tell you -- never bring a gun to a knife fight ~ Warpath
Woodcutter's Axe: Fiery war axe died for this!
Blood Razor: Quite sharp, much good at beating paladins.
Militia Commander: Quite skilled at stabbing people, just not in the face.
Brawl: Do I really have to explain why brawl is good in a control deck ?
Sudden Genesis: I hear you like Blackhowl Gunspire.
Blackhowl Gunspire: Refer to Sudden Genesis above.
Rotface: He likes it when it hurts.
Scourgelord Garrosh: For when you run out of warpath.
Vicious Scalehide: He Protec but He Also Attac. also quite good with the Woodcutter's Axe
Prince Taldaram: You must construct additional Blackhowl Gunspire.
Saronite Chain Gang: I mean you do need a way to survive until late game.
Carnivorous Cube: Apparently cubes can eat buildings too.
Faceless Manipulator: YOU MUST!
Primordial Drake: Rawr.
Match-ups
seems like we have to wait a couple of days before I can put any interesting data in here.
Thanks for all the support I will make more decks in the future :D

I hope you guys enjoy playing this deck as much as I did, and May the top decks be in your favor.

So after trying a couple variations of this deck, it really needs to be pointed out that the spire is actually an extremely unlikely PERK of the deck but shouldn't be the real focus of it. I tried swapping in a few lower cost cards that would actually bait the hard control cards (polymorph, silence, hex, etc) such as Darius and it forced the other players to waste their hard control cards early. If you play the deck with not focusing on the spire but focusing on more on putting the other player in a forced situation then the spire will pop up and be untouchable.
If you can make The Spire work, it's glorious to watch.
The tower always dies. Pointless.
Good stuff, too bad fun decks are not aloud in HS =(
Dont craft this deck The Tower always gets Removed
i wasted all My dust for this useless deck -.-
He said its a theorycraft deck. You cant blame anyone but your self. You shouldnt make decks before you know if they work.
Still plenty of fun to be had with gunspire!
i ve made the same consideration. Downvoted too.
currently at a 0-10 'winning' streak....... the draw for this is so bad and the tower is highly susceptible for hard removal. so a good time when you get that 1 trolden vid
any replacement for Dead man`s hand??
I tried making a similar deck (been calling it the Funspire), I am glad that someone better than me is having a better go with this! I will keep an ye on your deck list and see how it evolves over time.
are you able to consistently have the tower live and cube it tho ?
I have been having a lot of fun with the changes! Thank you!
If anyone is struggling with this. I took out Redband Wasp, Woodcutters Axe, Rotface, Prince Taladrim (He was interfering with my Dead Mans Occasionally) and Vicious Scalehide I kept Town Crier for the Militia Commander (The 5 DMG removal is almost a Fireball and combos well with Execute
I substituted in 2 Acolytes, Baron Geddon, 2 Bring it On. It's really fun and can win!
I think this decks fun. Do you think Bring It On and Baron Geddon could add to the survival and Blackthorn activation? It may help people survive a bit l9nger having the Dead Mans/Bring It On combo. But it's fun to get the win condition with what you have here. Thanks!
The deck is shit and these likes in this atrocity are even worse. How can anyone likes this? The deck doesn't work in any meta, not even for fun. People complain about aggro every season, stop whingin and learn how to play against it. Do any Control Druid Taunt or Shaman DEck, a Big Mage or Spiteful priest. There are lots of good decks to play, this one, is not one of them. Damn! Even Rush Warrior or Quest Warrior is a thing in this meta!
I agree with you, Kiwii is famous for making "Have-Fun-on-Ladder" types of decks.
That being said he constantly gets decks on the front page because his followers tend to like them. But yeah this deck just screams memes all over the place.
Not that I have anything against Kiwii but I tend to think this when a deck depends on only one card to win and you have to basically pray for RNGsus to give you the cards you need ...then the deck is bad...
Disappointed this deck isn't called "Slay the gunSpire"
It was at first, don't know why I didn't stick with it... I can always change it :P
Ayyyy nice. The deck's heaps of fun to play, thanks for sharing it <3
