An odd variant of the warrior control quest deck I've already made: (https://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/1113740-anti-aggro-midrange-quest-warrior)
I made an odd spellstone quest control warrior deck as well, a variant of this one.

Kiwiinbacon did a video on this deck! Cheers to him and hope you guys enjoy!
Game plan for matchups:
Against Aggro:
MULL QUEST, you want to decimate the board in early turns and try to make the most valuable trades as possible. Hero power + Shield Slam will straight up win games as you can kill Knife Jugglers and other priority cards before they get crazy. Brawl is a nice t5/6 drop to clear all but one creature and will generally leave you in a winning position (especially now that call to arms is nerfed hehe). Overall, control the board state as much as possible early game, then around t7/8 is when you really can start winning. Tank Up will straight up win you games with how much value you get.
Against Control/Midrange:
KEEP QUEST, you're going to want to complete it ideally before t9/10 so that when you see the opportunity to burst damage through you can do it. Sulfuras + mini-rag is a 12 damage burst which is HUGE. It's especially vital that you make positive trades as much as possible so that you can maintain power swings. If you do end up using all your fuel, Azalina Soulthief is a godsend, as well as Elise the Trailblazer for refuel.
Replacement Guide:
There's no replacing Fire Plume's Heart so don't try running this deck without it. If you're looking for another warrior deck to play I'd suggest Rush or Recruit warrior.
Azalina Soulthief will probably be a questonable choice for many people, but it's really there for the control matchup (and don't forget the memes). It's useable as a gas refuel if necessary so it's very difficult to replace. Depending on your meta you could use a Rabid Worgen as it becomes a 3 mana deal three and potentially get a 3/1 or 3/2 left over, it's really just a tech for aggro. Ironbreak Owl if you come across enough potential targets for it.
Brawl is a pretty hard card to replace as AoE is the core of the deck, As there isn't a ton of potential odd replacements I would suggest not replacing it and just not playing the deck. (Same with a one of Reckless Flurry
Elise the Trailblazer just like azalina, makes this deck SO MUCH FUN and opens up HILARIOUS opportunities (take a look at the video kiwiinbacon made above for an example!) I've been messing around with Abomination and so far it's proven quite fun! Try it out.
Gorehowl is a great card but Arcanite Reaper can be a replacement.
Baku the Mooneater No replacement because that's obvious. If you want to play a non-odd variant check out my other warrior control deck linked at the top.
Shield Slam Again, not really replaceable.
Gluttonous Ooze can be replaced with Corrosive Sludge
Big Game Hunter REALLY important for odd warrior as we're missing Execute so honestly don't try and replace.
Mulligans Against Aggro:
Priority keeps: Tar Creeper, Whirlwind (if paladin), Shield Slam
Lower priority: Stonehill Defender, Brawl,Gluttonous Ooze (if against a weapon hero), Acolyte of Pain
Mull Fire Plume's Heart in the aggro matchups, it's not worth the card slot, tank up is more important.
Mulligans Against Control:
Priority: Stonehill Defender, Tar Creeper, Acolyte of Pain.
Lower priority: Big Game Hunter (only for spiteful and the potential mountain giant from warlocks), Gluttonous Ooze (against weapon), Elise the Trailblazer (good body while also providing a pack for later for more crazy shenanigans, a bit of a risky keep but can be worth).
Keep Fire Plume's Heart every time
Thanks man, it works, but most importantly, it's fun to play :)
Glad you like it! It was a blast to brew and really spices up the meta!
Maybe it's just me but not a fan of the Tar Lords always feels way too clunky to drop it and have it silenced immediately you have more than enough Taunts to finish the quest. Would rather use 1-2 Ironbeak Owls, Blackwald Pixie or maybe a card like Darius Crowley tbh. Other then that looks pretty good dude.
Tar lord is insanely powerful and very much necessary in the aggro matchups just saying. I'll give pixie a try and if I had darius i'd try it but alas.
EDIT: I mistook Tar lord for tar creeper! My bad haha
I'm not sure how a 7 cost 1/11 is going to help in the aggro matchup. Tar Lord is far too slow and crumbles to silence.
Pixie and Crowley both do work in this deck.
Currently im experimenting with the removal of both tar lords for 2 pixies, I may end up crafting crowley. And apologies I switched tar creeper and tar lord mentally by accident yes tar lord isn't great in the aggro matchup.
I have no tried out blackwald pixie, will give it a try thanks for the suggestions and I did not think of the synergy with mini rag!
Do not have '' Elise '' any suggestions?
Full guide will be up tomorrow but Abomination is showing promise, check back sometime tomorrow as I am currently tied for time.
Any possible replacement for big game hunter?
Exactly what GoldCow said, BGH is HUGE for the deck and is an important part I'm learning.
I may experiment with mind tech, didn't think of that.
This deck isn't only fun to play, it also works extremely well on the ladder at the moment and I am super happy to see Azalina and Elise see more play once again. Grab your armor kids, we're going in! make yourself a favor and try this out if you haven't yet.
Here's a video showcasing the deck, I never have had such crazy games on the ladder, I hope you enjoy!
Is Corrosive Sludge a viable replacement for Gluttonous Ooze ?
It's a replacement yes, but personally I don't like the high mana cost of it especially as the deck's curve is already on the higher end. Considering that Acidic Swamp Ooze isn't available though it is a feasible replacement.
I'd love to try this but I'm missing half the legendaries (No 420 girl or the Soul stealer)
I'll be putting up a full replacement guide soon! Apologies for not sooner as currently everything is very hectic in my life!
I run a version with King Mosh, it's really good against giant boards! What are your thoughts on him?
I opened one when ungoro came out but sadly dusted it, I've wanted to experiment but I don't really want to put the dust in haha, I can totally see it working such as whirlwind into mosh for a positive board wipe! I may craft it to test!
But overall if you see success with him go for it.
