i love this deck, winning a lot at legend rank with it

I tried this deck for a while and I'm sorry but it just really isn't good.

First, the most glaringly obvious card to remove is Magtheridon, given how it requires a second "combo" piece in your hand to activate and is literally removed by a 0 mana Warlock spell that just so happens to be one of the most popular decks right now.

Second, Grand Lacky Erkh really doesn't really do much for you. You have 2 lackey generators, and then you have to hold onto them in order to get value from Erkh, but meanwhile the value you are getting isn't even all that impressive. You've built up a board of 1/1s maybe with some discovers and a taunt on what turn 8? Congrats. Demon Hunter now swings for 15 face damage and you lose.

Bladestorm rarely works out like you want it to, especially given the popularity again of Galakrond Warlock and DH always having 1 hp minions on board.

And then lastly just the general win conditions of the deck. Which really there is only 1, Dragonqueen Alex. Since this deck is entirely reactionary, Zephyros is always used as an answer and is never a win condition on his own. And Deathwing again is used as an answer unless for some ungodly reason the opponent's board just so happens to be completely clear on 8, and maybe you try to set up for lethal with Alex next turn.

This deck would have potential if it weren't for a single card having been rotated out this year....Dr. Boom, Mad Genius. But as it stands, unless you play against something like face hunter, you eventually just run out of resources and have nothing left to contest the board with.

Sadly warrior just needs some serious help to become viable. This meta is a very "value" oriented meta and warrior has lost too many of its value generating cards. (Dragon Roar, Boom, War Master Vroon, Warpath, etc.)

Right now, this is the closest it can be to control, i understand what you are saying, but playing 10 games, winning 7, and based on what your card pics are, is doing well for me, Magtheridon, is kept late game, you can check all the stats on hsreplay.net. Will share towards bottom of this post.

You are probably right, that the condition of this meta, and cards do not offer the perfect control warrior, but having one weak ratio against Warlock, also depends on his picks too, as you can still win games against him.

Overall, this deck is for Control Phreaks, and not suggested to everyone, however facts are to get to Diamond 5 going to Legendary, does imply that the ratio is still strong, especially against Druid, Mage, Priest and the new demon hunter.

I dont have issues against warlock, i just saw last few games played coz not everything im logging did turn out wins, this weekend i will have more time to play and will post progress.

Against Warlock 2 Wins 2 Games 100% ratio:

Playing a lot and practicing, will let you get better.

Thanks for the feedback though, as for Lackey, you still can generate lackeys not just from weapons, and you need to keep one, so sometimes using them based on the situation - having in mind you need to keep one, did turn out to be useful during the gameplay.

Lol "playing a lot and practicing, will let you get better."

Thanks but I'm legend 2k with my Highlander Mage. I know how to play and I know control decks. This is not legend material. And if you're using a sample size of 10 games at D5 then I have nothing more to say to you.

I mean a picture is worth a thousand words.

Literally..  Mage? Druid? No Stats? Photoshop? Which one is it.. now thats legendary material right there

Dont hate the player, hate the game son.. 

Since you're so keen on stalking me without any context, I reached legend with Druid and I continued to climb with Mage. Here's a thousand word picture for you son. Now how about you show me your legend screenshot? Peace son. See you in game.....no wait, I wont since you're diamond. Over and out.

hey man, i really hate to ask that, but o don't have Grand Lackey Erkh, do you have any advice for me? if have a "replacement" or something like that

Hello Bro,

It took me around 2 weeks to get that lol, i did not have it either.
You can replace it with either of these, depending on what you are facing, and what you got:

Archivist Elysiana
Elise Starseeker
Al'ar 
Brightwing 

But you need to save for it, because the combo does a huge difference once used at mana 8-10

thanks bro, you really are legendary

<3

 You are literally D10 in your latest twitch video though....

D5 now, D6 you need to play a lot, and i do this whenever i can, D5 --> Till Legendary hopefully by this weekend. I had to change 1 card, and this has increased the ratio a lot. 

Thanks for deck.  Missed control warrior and this deck is doing the trick. Climbing in low diamond ranks. 

My number one tip is save your board clears and play them the turn after you felt you needed to.  Patience! 

Thanks, i miss it, i love control warrior, it is very hard to own one, i play only control warrior, and when i came back after 777 years of inactivity, i saw that there is not much control warriors, and after thinking a lot, trying a lot, i know / you know control warrior is expensive to own, but the amounts of thinking, as you said patience, pays a lot, especially when they hit you on 15 HP, thinking they got you, and forget about your armor, and what is expected after late game, no one can beat control warrior after / if you play wisely to late game. I feel u :)

Check the Paladin Win. That was the previous deck, this is the new one here, that is much well balanced.

Specifically at 1:10 hours.

Thanks guys for your feedback, i feel what your saying, strategically i rely on doing the combo with Harrison Jones, and rely instead of card draws use the combo with Lackeys, its why, early try not resist on the cards, remember you a warrior, you play on low health, do not give up if you are health 15-17 in round 5-6, there is a lot of health for you to get from Armor. I have won several games with round 5 having 15 HP, or even when getting 1 HP, and using armor wisely. Try to resist, use Armor as Health, Stall till u get to round 8-9 late game, then its all Yours. (use Bulwark of Azzinoth too), Alexstrasza as well can heal you in round 9, and they would not expect it, these aggros they are like damn..

You got :

• Frightened Flunky - gets you a taunt to stall and a new card pick
• Shield Block Draws you one
• Dragonqueen Alexstrasza  also gets you new cards.
• Lackeys Lackeys Lackeys are also cards to use wisely as they are new ones, and could change the way the game would end depending on what you get. EVIL Quartermaster Livewire Lance Grand Lackey Erkh
• Harrison Jones Especially against the new Demon Hunter, he has weapons with 3 or 4 that could get you a huge draw.

My win ratio against Demon since many are using him is: 95% 

Its not an easy one, it needs patience and real good strategy not just give away the cards in early if you manage to get to late game after round 7-8 you cannot lose anymore, its a challenge also on the luck of first picks.

I had very few game losses due to the cards, but my ratio is much higher overall on wins, if you want to replace a card you could replace:

Bone Wraith × 1  With Blood Warriors  / Bloodsworn Mercenary

And try it out, remember it also depends on what ranks ur playing this works great in Diamond too.
Try to focus on Lackeys instead of card draws and make your game around that, you only need to save 1, so you can use the rest, i mean 1 saved to do the combo with Grand Lackey Erkh

Play a bit more, and go slow think and plan your next cards, its not an easy deck but the reward / ratio is great, if you got suggestions for draw cards, after you change the strategy (play 10 games see your win ratio), let me know and will check it out too!

Again, happy to see more Warriors, Control ones here not many play that, its old school but you know :)  Let us know more of what you think, and hope those additional tips help, will be streaming soon this weekend a lot!

Hey SaintDruG, do you think this deck is consistent against both Warlock and DH? I have the dust but don't whether or not to craft this deck :) And is both Maiev and Magtheridon really that good in the deck?

Hey bro! Thanks for your comment, it is hard to craft it i dusted EVERYTHING, to do this, i just love Warrior, Control / Highlander is interesting, fun to play, i use to be in fond of Paladin, but back to my roots, im just fond of Warrior :) So its a choice, BUT:

Magtheridon with Warrior = Amazing. Why? Use it with Brawl :) Done.

Maiev Shadowsong I mean he is a very situational card, it will help you plan your next 2 rounds till you get what you are missing, like Brawl or i did use him to finish off games, as they were low HP, and added a Taunt, a big Taunt, this card will make anything disappear.

Maiev Shadowsong

Go directly to Demon Jail. Do not attack minions, do not collect mana crystals.

Hey EnlightDos!
Sure, which cards are you missing, so we can check some replacement / alternatives that would be not so much affecting the synergy of the cards, it took me a lot to complete this deck, as i play only this, nothing else, so i can understand :)

Took me around 6 days and around 15 euro of packs to craft my last legendary, so needs some patience till you master the collection.

Let me know which ones you got missing, and will try to tell you some alternatives

Hi SaintDruG,

thanks for your reply!

I have all the cards from your decklist. I'm not sure why I don't have the success rate as you.

Maybe a mulligan guide will help me to perform better. My main issue is the lack of card draw.
