The issue I almost always ran into when facing other control decks like Priest or the mirror match is the lack of any board presence beyond your Blastmaster Boom andDeathwing, Mad Aspect. I have tested out this version here which utilizes 2 more cards which are both either tempo-swinging cards, or game-winning cards!
ELEMENTALCORE 100 played this deck on stream and has made videos on YouTube raving about the deck!!
He has added a second Whirlwind to deal with rogues which is something he suggested to me. Much love to Ecore100 for making video(s) on 2 of my decks and please do check out his Twitch stream: https://www.twitch.tv/elementalcore100
Strategy:
Headmaster Kel'Thuzad is an extremely powerful card and will be a staple for all control warrior decks till it rotates. Cards like Shield Slam and Coerce are great ways of hard removal and now, tempo generation. Even against a faster deck, This card with a Bladestorm can get you a board of cheap tokens. Against control decks, Whirlwind is not really being used for removal and comes in very handy for a 9 mana combo which gives you a full copy of the opponents board while removing theirs in the process!
Lord Barov+Headmaster Kel'Thuzad + Whirlwind is a full clear which summons new copies of the minions on your side of the battle field. This is an AMAZING response to the opponents board of dragons or Blastmaster Boom. The current bomb warrior archetype just Brawls and goes face. This deck brings in that tertiary dimension which I think fares really well when the meta is so board-centric. I have cut Captain Greenskin for this as I don’t want to rely on just my Wrenchcalibur to win me games. Not to mention the card is literally useless when you do not have a weapon equipped.
The second card is seen in some, but not nearly enough Bomb Warrior decks; Kronx Dragonhoof. This card is just really good as either of the 4 options can be extremely powerful against a plethora of decks. It gives us another way to clear the board since other decks usually have Plague of Wrath/EVIL Quartermaster in its place.
Mulligan Guide at 5 upvotes.
Always keep: Corsair Cache. That's literally it. If you already have Cache in your starting hand, you can keep cards like Upgrade!,Cutting Class and Doctor Krastinov.
Against Aggro:Sword and Board,Bladestorm are good keeps.Brawl if you are against a druid. Just have to be reactive in these games. Your time to deal damage will come.
Against Control: KeepKargath Bladefist,Cutting Class if you haveCorsair Cache, Galakrond can be kept against priest as well asBlastmaster Boom.

Matchup guides in progress, sorry was out for the last couple of days!
Enjoy this deck!
Your version is way too greedy in this kind of meta and only really would find success against priest. For sure not something I would run on ladder when priest only covers max some 20% of your games if you get a heavy dose.
I use Youthful Brewmaster with the 3/3 shuffle a bomb minion in my bomb warrior and 2 pillagers was fine for me it came in clutch the games I bounced it.
I only took out a pillager today and replaced it with kel'thuzad after seeing this deck.
I would add a 2nd Hoard Pillager for 1 Coerce for decks with ooze more weapons is very useful
I tried it and it’s too greedy. Coerce is really good against Pure Paladin and Druid and it also is a great combo piece with Kel’Thuzad.
10-15 bombs per game is more than enough as the meta stands. If an ooze denies 3-5 it’s not a big deal.
Two Hoard Pillagers in your hand with a couple of weapons (or before you've drawn weapons) is really, really bad.
That's one thing with deck building I've learned through trial and error: eliminate cards where it's frequently bad if you have two copies instead of one copy and some other good option given the meta and your cards.
That’s a feasible change. Just like cutting class as it’s usually 1 mana or free to draw 2 cards. Harrison Jones does significantly impact the mirror match although A Stickyfinger could be better. Also, it’s a dead card against multiple classes like Mage, Druid, Priest.
Wow guys thanks a lot! I have 2 decks in the top 9 decks on the top page of the website!
Appreciate the support!
I removed a Cutting Class for a Harrison Jones, lately many bomb warriors and weapon Rogues, also to get something more on the board.
Only played three games so far, but have been absolutely destroyed by face hunters each game. =( I like the idea though, and am going to try and stick with it a little longer. I suck in general and am only in the silver ranks, so maybe I need to climb with one of said face hunter decks before switching.
If you want some help getting better at the game. Reach out!
Haha, you'd regret that offer if I took it! Your despair would be immense! =D
Thanks for the feedback, enjoy the deck!
Fun to play, really amazing against those priest control decks! Thanks!
