Tempo Rush Warrior:
Hi, I'm Dringles a consistent legend player who's been trying to perfect the tempo warrior archetype. This is by far the most successful list I have made so far. Please try it out and leave feedback!
This deck utilizes the new Rush cards and whirlwind effects to control the board early, ramp up the damage of enrage cards, and cycle through your deck to keep up maximum board pressure. This deck capitalizes on the paladin and spiteful meta to build up and maintain a board to easily win against most of the popular decks. This deck can even stand toe-to-toe with cubelock; however, the warlock match-up is highly dependent on their ability to draw AoE removal.
Core Cards:
Fire Fly: very important to contest board control early, and the extra body from the battlecry synergizes with frothing and battlerage.
Town Crier: One of the most important cards in the deck. It is a decent statted one drop and the battlecry is an insanely good value especially if this can be played early.
Whirlwind: important for clear the board vs Aggro decks and provides triggers for frothing/acolyte/battlerage
Battle Rage: Provides the deck with a reliable way to refuel your hand and continue to apply pressure. Two cards from this is good and anything more is great.
Woodcutter's Axe: a solid weapon for early removal and can provide a big swing if the deathrattle procs.
Acolyte of Pain: important to play with the whirlwind effects to continue to draw cards and outvalue your opponent.
Frothing Berserker: This card almost always requires to be dealt with immediately and can straight up win you the game if it isn't. It is insane with the amount of whirlwind effects and can get out of control incredibly fast. Knowing when to go all in with this card is vital to this decks success.
Blood Razor: a great weapon all around. It provides multiple whirlwinds to clear board and trigger frothing, acolyte, battlerage, and can set up lethal with Grommash.
Militia Commander: This card is great to get with your town crier, and is almost always able to provide a decent trade and stay on board.
Darius Crowley: a very underrated card that can apply some serious pressure while removing threats from your opponent. Similar to frothing and can get out of control if not dealt with.
Grommash Hellscream: The most important card for closing out games, and can be used to trade against aggro decks. Provides insane burst when combined with whirlwind, blood razor, inner rage or DK Garrosh.
Scourgelord Garrosh: Scourgelord provides a huge tempo swing against aggro and other tempo/midrange decks. It allows you to regain and maintain board control effectively. It can also give you 12 extra damage to face if you need the additional push against controlling decks.
Tech/Substitutions:

I will be updating this deck more with card explanations, advice for the game plan, and a general mulligan guide
Mulligan guide for each Class Coming Soon! (After my finals)
Thanks
Replacement for The Black Knight?
Spellbreaker seems legit, in my opinion. Maybe Leeroy Jenkins?
I'm still waiting on that mulligan guide!!
- But also this deck really struggles against Even Shamans from personal experience.
Sorry I promise I'll get it up soon! I have finals this next week, so I will be busy studying until then.
I really needed one form of weapon removal in this deck as I was playing many warlocks and turn 5 weapons decided the game.
This deck is really fun to play. I had to find replacements for Lich King and The Black Knight, so i added a second Spellbreaker and Baron Geddon as someone suggested and that works pretty well. Still having some trouble piloting the deck optimally so hoping for a game plan and mulligan guide soon :)
Thanks for posting!
Useless against cubelock.
Mindbreaker is a great tech card vs Baku Hunter, Odd Paladin and Baku Rogue.
I teched in one myself and so far no regrets.
I need to use 3600 dust for this deck. And i only have 5000 dust right now, but i cant decide whether to craft Mage cards or warrior cards. Do you think this deck would be more succesful than a big mage deck?
What do you think about adding Leeroy Jenkins for another finishing option? And maybe also Muck Hunter with a combo of a whirlwind effect and Frothing Berserker?
Leeroy Jenkins could possibly fit into a more aggressive version of this list, but I don't think it is quite necessary with Grommash as a stronger finisher. Muck Hunter is another card that I have yet to test out. It could be a decent one-off card.
Been using the aforementioned cards as replacements for respective (Grom and Darius) warrior legendaries.
Great list! I opened many of the Warrior legendaries on the opening day of this meta. My list was really similar but I didn’t find it very successful at climbing (I’m at rank 5 currently). The Black Knight is an interesting choice, but I see you don’t have it listed as a core card. What situations do you find it most useful? Also could you see Blackhowl Gunspire fitting in this list?
This list can definitely have some ups and downs if you mostly playing against Cube/Spiteful decks, but it's been nice against the excessive amount of Paladin decks. Yeah The Black Knight isn't necessary; however, I have found it to be incredibly useful in almost every match-up. It is a great answer to Lich King, Void Lord, Sunkeeper Tarim, and the entirety of Taunt Druid (lol). It is also just a nice tempo swing against smaller minions such as Saronite Chain Gang and Argent Protector. I don't have Blackhowl Gunspire unfortunately, but I would definitely mess around with it if i did. I don't think it would end up making the final cut, but it would a fun card nontheless.
I play Alexstraza in this deck to deal with the opponents lifegain.
I haven't tried Alex myself, but I can definitely see the utility. Are you mostly using it to combo with Grommash for the "OTK" 15 damage?
what do your think about getting more aggro? like this: AAECAQcCrwTN7wIOHLACkQP/A44F1AWkBu4G5wfvB+vCAp3wApfzAtH1AgA=
i will try your list too! (i like the controle decks more than this aggro bullsh**
but which one is more consistent?
I could definitely see this list working, but I'd opt for Raging Worgens instead of Militia Commanders since the 3 drops are limited. Also, I think Spellbreaker is a must if you're going for an aggressive deck (probably instead of the second woodcutter). I haven't seen anything like it on the ladder which is always cool to see.
itsnt woodcutter too op?
I just crafted this aggro ver of Ibes deck. I'll give it a shot. Not sure if I want to craft DK is why, so I thought I'd give his a try. I subbed out a Arcanite Reaper and Mortal Strike for 2 Spellbreakers. I feel Woodcutter is too OP as well. I'll let you know how it goes.
