Hi guys, Zephyrus1291 here. Just a casual Diamond - Legend player. I'm sharing this homebrew deck of mine that I recently experimented and it turned out to be pretty good. Current WR is at 10-4 (71.4% WR). It has that demon hunter vibe with big burst damage using your hero to hit your opponent's face. Without further ado, let's go through the strategy and mulligan tips:
Strategy
The goal here is to maximize face damage to your opponent using the invoke cards as well as bombs and the classic Grommash Hellscream + Inner Rage combo. Ideally, Galakrond, the Unbreakable should be fully invoked before used to ensure 10-16 damage using its 5/2 weapon and hero power. Because of this burst damage, facing Priest is less challenging since most of the time they cannot keep up with the damage. Getting Grommash Hellscream buffed with +4/+4 is a destroyer with a potential of up to 24 damage next turn using the classic combo. Otherwise, there're still so many fuels to keep going, i.e. Kronx Dragonhoof, Doctor Krastinov, invoke minions, etc. Drawing 4 minions from the Galakrond is also the key reason why it's important to have it fully invoked before used. Don't hesitate to use Kronx Dragonhoof to draw Galakrond when necessary.
Matchups
Hardest matchups would be against Demon Hunters and Face Hunters as they have fast and strong early pressure. If possible, consider not using your face to take damage for trade since most of the time, it could cost you the match.
Other matchups are considered favorable.
Mulligan Tips
In general, look for Corsair Cache, EVIL Quartermaster, and Shield Block.
When facing DH, keep Sword and Board and Wrenchcalibur
When facing Face Hunters, keep Sword and Board and Awaken!
Hope you enjoy the deck!

Is there viable replacement for Kargath?
I'm not sure if there's any, since Kargath Prime is really important for this deck. I think it's worth crafting too though. It's quite essential in most warrior decks.
this is not a bomb warrior deck FYI,so stop complaining.
Nice try on Bomb Warrior, thanks!
"Other matchups are considered favorable." - you forgot that this deck has about 40% Winrate vs another popular deck - Libram Pally
why only one corsair cache? Isnt it top priority to draw your weapons for bombs to shutup neutral pall or highlander? also wheres docBoom?
One corsair cache was to mitigate the other cache becoming idle in your hand. This happened often when you only have two weapons in your deck, instead of 3 or more.
I didn't put Dr. Boom because it's too slow, since you want to maximize your invoke and galakrond's hero power to do burst damage. I'd prefer Dr. Boom to synergize with risky skipper rather than standalone.
MAGA (MAke Galakrond great Again)!
Jokes aside, I threw this together to do the two Warrior quests I have today, and so far I'm 1-0 against a Mage. The finisher was on turn 9 with him at 10hp. I had Grommash in hand, and top decked the Inner Rage. 12 damage right down his throat felt gooooooood after running in to and losing to so many Mages lately. I hate that class.
Thank you for the deck, sir!
