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!
I will be updating the deck through any new releases, patches and expansions so stay tuned!
Loving the deck mate. had a few games last night with a friend, in order to get some dailies finished. I won one against demon hunter, then he beat me with druid. TBF I wasn't playing properly in either game, as was trying to just play cards (for my dailies)
I could have killed him very fast in the first game, and I could have made choices in the 2nd game that would have led to me winning. Honestly though, Druid is really good right now as well. I'm thinking about making a druid deck next.
confident anyway I'll be able to do well with this deck with a bit more practice. I used to play a lot of Control-Lock, so it transfers over pretty well.
I can't craft galkrond? my game doesn't give me an option to craft this card.
how do I get it, please?
Everyone got the Galakrond hero cards for free during Descent of Dragons
thanks, yeah mate I worked it out. I just had never opened a pack from that set yet.
that is pretty cool though, you get all of them for free.
Yeah definitely, makes for a lot of cool deck recipes for F2P players!
yeah mate. I have Kronx as well now, so can probably get a lot more use from this card.
thinking about crafting this. I have never played control warrior before, but I love control decks (mostly played lock and shaman control decks)
is there any footage of it being played, please?
EDIT: sorry mate, I can see the video now. ha ha. I am excited to play this, as I have barely touched warrior.
do you think the current card set up is optimal please, or any changes I might consider(or tech packages I can craft to change to maybe? I like to have options)
Only thing thats different is 2 Whirlwind and 1 Sword and board. I would say hold off on crafting this deck because of your dust situation. The entire bomb package rotates out in 8 months. Just being honest.
ok, thanks. I have about 12k at the minute, maybe closer to 13k. I could probs dust some stuff to craft, or craft later in the week when I can buy some cards or something.
TBH I have no idea what else I'd play.
The shell of the deck will be intact for 2 years, just the bomb win-condition will rotate out. You could craft it. Because the card quality is there. Them printing Cutting Class and Doctor Krastinov makes it quite clear weapons will be prevalent for warriors in upcoming expansions...
I probably will mate, the bomb parts are only 3 cards really, so not going to kill the usefulness of the other cards. I just need to make about 3k more dust to craft though. I might wait till payday and then try and get some of the cards from packs.
I have some quests to get some packs at the moment as well. I just need to play 25 cards, I don't know if I can do this VS. someone in a private game or not though.
I have a spare 1600 dust now as well as I didn't have to craft galkrond, so I can use this for tech cards maybe.
Thanks Man !!
Just reach 1st time legend with this deck. This is amazing ;)
Worst machup :
Face Huntard's , DH but for the rest - no chance to lose :)
HAHA! Congrats my friend!
WR od deck without Headmaster Kel'Thuzad and Kargath Bladefist - 6% higher
Hi,
This deck works well for me with 62% winrate on 53 games. I just reached diamond 3, but i maked some changes.
At the beginning i've got problems with face deck (hunter/rogue/dh), because no risky skipper and armorsmith combo. So instead of hoard pillager and Krastinov, I put 2 EVIL Quartermaster.
Then in D4 i met a lot of Libram paladin and it's very hard. I remplaced 2 quartermaster for 2 Iron howl beek and it's help a lot ! But i must test against other match-up if its not a big crippling.
KT+coerce is a very strong combo (on the pala 8/8 taunt divin shield it's delicious).
You can edit the deck based on what you face. The pirate version of the deck is good too but I just found those 6 cards nearly useless against classes like Priest, Warrior, Druid...
Your version with the two owls brought me to Legend super quick this month.
Even though there were much less Paladins than expected. Mosty bombed Druids, Rogues and a few Hunters and Mirror Matches at Rank 1-2.
Thanks for the deck and the suggested changes, mates! ;)
Hi, glad it works well for you !
I just reached legend with 2 owls version. I meet mainly Hunters face, Pala libram and Mages (18%,16%,13%).
I've got surprisingly a good winrate vs Priest (I just control the board and I use only wrenchcalibur at the end for better bombs, boombots whirlwind for the finish).
