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.

nope
Fun deck but Priest , Paladin and Warlock just destroy it without much thought.
Edit: Add Rogue to that because SAP is everywhere again.
Isn't Whirlwind a good card for this deck?
It is. I've actually considered cutting cards for it. I would def cut the sudden genesis, and either 1 militia commander, or the wasp / lizard. I'm running a slightly different version (see comment above, just posted 4/13 at around 1pm est.)
I've played a lot of games with this deck so far and I've never needed to use sudden genesis. It just sat in hand clogging it up. Whirlwind is def good though. Especially on a turn where you have to brawl to kill your cubes, you can warpath x2 and whirlwind for 12 bombs total which is close to OTK, but if you haven't dealt 3 damage to them by then.. lol
what about incorporating Countess Ashmore to draw out a rush, lizardboii and cube?

# To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone
hope this helps
It's a good idea to put darius crowley for something?
Sure, that or ashmore
it cannot be copied automatically into hearthstone while other decks can be.
something could be wrong with the code
After some games, I can say this is definitely fun. Even more fun when you beat your friends with it after they shittalked Blackhowl Gunspire.
I love it. Super interested in using my Gunspire and rush cards so I'm glad to see something like this.
Looks like there is only 29 cards?
Part where you said "Prince Taldaram: You must construct additional Blackhowl Gunspire." made me read it in Protoss voice. Brilliant
Hey kiwi!
I wonder if there is a place for Master Oakheart in this deck? I feel like the deck is SLIGHTLY slow on card draw and it has a small potential to pull out Blackhowl Gunspire. Might have to replace prince with another card though to remove that as a potential draw.
Just thinking out load. This is going to be such a fun deck to play!
I will be trying a few variants nothing and Edit accordingly!
Vicious Scalehide is a good boy. He deserves ALL the spires! Oh, and Prince Taldaram can be here too I guess. Can't wait to Unleash the Memes of War!
I can't see this deck being competitive at all, but man this surely looks like a ton of fun, great idea!
Damn now this is spicy! I like it!!! xD
Great idea. But i would upvote anyways solely because of the Ali epic reference
:D thanks bud!
