Hello everyone!

My name is Anomaly and I am a consistent Legend player bringing to you a spicy Highlander GALAKROND warrior deck! Yes you saw it right, this deck actually makes use of the galakrond hero card. The deck has multiple win conditions in theDragonqueen Alexstrasza [/card] ,[card]Kronx Dragonhoof, The bombs, andZephrys the Great and of course, Galakrond, the Unbreakable! 

TheRisky Skipper andArmorsmith combo is also there for tons of armor gain along with early game cards like theEVIL Quartermaster. 

Mulligan:
The most important cards to look for are usually consistent around all warrior decks,Ancharrr,Corsair Cache and when going against aggressive matchups,Risky Skipper/Armorsmithare usually the cards you want to hard mulligan for. In certain matchups like demon hunter,Bladestorm orSword and Board is also a good keep.

Strengths:

• Really good draw and cycle throughout the deck
• Multiple Win Conditions
• Galakrond is not something players know how to play around since it so rarely seen.(They NEVER expect it!)
• Hard counters Highlander decks due to the bomb package.
• Its a warrior, tons of removal!

Weaknesses:

• Drawing quickly through you deck means you are almost always behind on the fatigue game plan.
• Does not have the innate value which other highlander decks like Rogue or mage possess (Its why we bomb theirs out of the picture!)
• The 2 card Galakrond package is the x factor in one of the hardest matchups for any warrior archetype; Galakrond Priest. You can just hit face for 3 everyturn and really pressure the priest down.

Used this deck from Bronze 10 and currently am in diamond 10 in 4 hours and 40 minutes of play!

Card Replacement:

• In terms of what cards you cannot replace, the Highlander Cards, Kronx and In my personal opinionAncharrr possibly being the only other legendary needed, the rest is replaceable but it does lower the overall power level of the deck. Risky Skipper from the Adventure is also required.
• Kor'kron Elite forKargath Bladefist is good as the immediate effect of dealing with the enemy board is there without the prime payoff later on.
• AlthoughBlastmaster Boom is a GREAT card and solid wincondition, Something like anEvasive Drakonid,Evasive Wyrm, or if you have access to it, aSiamat.
• Deathwing, Mad Aspectcan be replaced by a rush minion like anEvasive Wyrm or add a threat likeAlexstrasza [/card]. Alex is really good in this deck as you can hold onto cards like your[card]clockwork goblin in hand and late into the game can start shuffling bombs into the deck and alex face to setup bomb lethal plays.
• Another solid card option for more removal can be the most broken 4 mana 4/5 ever printed in theOmega Devastator, it still exists ya know!
• Harrison Jonesis there to provide more draw to the deck as having oneShield Block andBattle Rage I felt was not enough. However,Acidic Swamp Ooze is a more than feasible replacement.
• Now if you are trying to make a control warrior deck I assume you have the necessary removal tools like theBrawl,Shield Slam andBladestorm but, the latter can be replaced by aSlam orSword and Board for its cleanliness against Demon Hunters. Another card that can help in this department is adding aCobalt Spellkin, as most of the warrior 1 cost spells are either forms of Value or Removal.

Gameplay:

This decks gameplay is what makes it so unique and fun as hell to play!

Since the foundation of this deck is a mashup of all the other warrior decks it can be seen as the jack of all trades, master of none. The early phases of the game against most classes that are either aggro, or tempo-based like Rogue, Demon Hunter, Hunter, and sometimes the Mirror, you turn into the super control warrior fanatic clearing anything and everything they play if it poses any kind of threat to your well being!

Use cards likeAncharrr, andShield Block, your 3 drops to bide your time. Something I want to stress is dont greed yourZephrys the Great into aggressive matchups, if you can gain control of the board early using him, then do it. Also, keep note of the fact that your face being damaged adds an extra draw to yourBattle Rage so sometimes taking damage cannot be a bad thing. You want to usually keep theRisky Skipper andArmorsmith combo for the mid to late game for heaps of armor but if a board has to be dealt with don’t hesitate using the skipper. Where the game turns on its head is the Galakrond x-factor nobody sees coming, when you think you have weathered the storm and the opponent is running out of threats, turn the tide with your Galakrond, drawing a HUGE minion and getting access to a Smorc hero power Pirate warriors dreamed of! The tables turn and you just demolish the remains of their wimpy minions and take that W! 
Note: Putting bombs against a rogue or demon hunters that want to draw discounted cost cards actually messes it up as if they draw a bomb as the 0 cost card, the next card they draw will NOT be discounted, something interesting to keep in mind!

Against other Highlander or control decks, these matchups are a little bit different as especially against Mages, and Hunters the bombs are paramount, because of what it does to their highlander win-conditions. You want to keep the mulligan similar for the most part,Corsair Cache,Wrenchcalibur,Ancharr, and sometimes you would keep a value card like aBloodboil Brute ,EVIL Quartermaster or even one of your threats if your facing the resident sleeper priest.

Again, you have the tools needed to deal with most mage boards minus some crazy scam box shenanigans. And turn into the Smorc Dragon to finish them off. This is not a fatigue deck, so you will have to turn around and become the aggressor at some point which is why we have theGrommash Hellscream plusInner Rage combo to serve as our ownDinotamer Brann!!

I will be editing this guide with all the links to the cards soon!! 

Hope you guys enjoy the deck!
