Hey everyone, I'm Gatormatthew. I finish top 500 on NA every month, and I make educational Hearthstone content. Today's guide is my first one during the new expansion, Aggro Warrior. This deck includes a lot of new cards is a hell of a lot of fun. Below, I have a quick guide + a 20-minute video where I play a few games with the deck and explain my choices. Hope you enjoy it!
The main thing to keep in mind with this deck is your best two cards are Imprisoned Ganarg and Ringmaster's Baton. These are your two main mulligan keeps. Don't keep both of them together, Ganarg > Baton. The main mulligan outside of those two cards is mostly just to keep things like Sky Raider andParachute Brigand. Just keep in mind that the deck needs one of Ganarg or Baton to function, so aggressively mulligan for them. One thing to note, ETC isn't actually necessary for this deck, its probably fine to just slot in a Darkmoon Dirigible in his place.
If you want to see me play live on Twitch, I stream every weekend from 1pm-3pm EST and every Mon/Wed/Fri from 1:45pm-3:45pm EST. Link to Twitch
Hope you guys enjoyed, I'll have more guides coming out on Hearthpwn/my YT in the future :)
Is Tent Thrasher something you've considered? It seems like a natural fit, being both a rush minion for ETC and a dragon that also works with baton and the multi tribes you're obviously working with. Is it too slow and for that you run the fearies?
Stage Dive -> Bumper car is the reason for no tent thraster. A guaranteed quick 3 mana 3-4 rush with a mech tag and a beneficial DR is great. The Stage Dive tutor also fuels ETC with the bumper car and its tokens
I back to HS to play in free time and i've made pirate warrior, pretty basic deck and grind from bronze 10 to plat 7 then I met some problems in few match ups so I decided to visit hearthpwn for better deck. I crafted some cards and grind with this deck from plat 7 to plat 1 in a half of a day and made diamond 10 with previous deck. Nice deck, fun to play for only 5k dust.
Awesome!
Absolutely an awesome deck and loads of fun! Have gone 10-1 up to Platinum 3, losing the first game against a high rolling evolve shammy. Got lucky in one of the wins against a control warrior who had me on the ropes when I pulled out a Kor´kron for lethal, but otherwise clear wins. The deck seems to have alot of options, a big THANK YOU for sharing this one @Gatormatthew_
any good for replacement for the Ringmaster's Baton? i have everything else, only thing i can see is stage hand but thats not really enough
Nice deck, works well. I added Hack The System in place of one of the sky raiders (mainly as I had it in gold) and is working quite nicely
I like Circus Amalgam also, it is easy to buff with the weapon as it can be all types. so if you are holding a pirate, its a mech, and if you are also holding a mech, its a dragon. etc.
I just want to say thank you so much for this deck!
I had to reactivate my account just to comment. I had been stuck in Plat8-10, and I am now in diamond 5 after 4 days with your deck.
I have found that Stage Hand is not terrible since I don't have the lorekeeper.
I have made some other minor alterations, but i think that has more to do with me not being good with those cards than my list being better or anything like that.
Video was super helpful. Just a big thank you for helping me get back into Hearthstone.
Thank you man! Great to hear the deck worked so well. I have a lot more guides just like this one on my Hearthpwn/YT channel if you are interested.
First step was d5, next stop: Legend :)
Hello GM me again,
As a warrior main i am loving this deck , i was playing control ETC and was just getting around a slightly over 50% winrate and keep going from d6 back to d9.
Now i played your deck i got to D5 fairly easily following your video guide, however I am now stuck at d5-d4 ranks with it and cant seem to ladder.
Was wondering if maybe you could add me and talk me through some spots also i think your a genius for making this deck as it does smash through a lot of decks out there and be cool to just add you.. my battle tag is sithlord38#2326
p.s not sure about etc in this deck played over 50 games and not really done much with him
I wonder what you think of switching out Lorekeeper Polkelt for Playmaker? I only played 2 games with it, and like 10 overall with the deck (excellent btw), but it is very promising considering the synergy with Bumper Car. Please let me know your thoughts.
Edit: Here is a video of me playing the deck with Playmaker. Please excuse my slower pace, I am still learning the deck and had maybe 10 games with it under me.

Playmaker dosen't have a purpose in the deck. The goal of bumper car is not the 1-1s it provides. Its to get buffed by the Baton and Stage Dive. Playmaker forces us to hold the Car in our hand in order to... play a 3 mana 4-3 deal 1 damage? Thats just not worth it. Polkelt is a super powerful finisher. If you don't have Polkelt, I would recommend adding in a Hot Air Balloon to the deck.
Hope the guide was helpful though. I have more guides just like this coming out on my YT/Hearthpwn
The guide def helps, and I appreciate you breaking that down, it makes total sense. For what its worth I was 18-3 with it, but that was Gold mostly. I had been getting lucky drawing the Playmaker at times when the Bumper was buffed already and I had the mana to play it before the Bumper so it seemed powerful getting another 5 dmg rush minion in that rare case that drops the 1s, that again create copies and helped clear taunts, so it played well in the games I am remembering (selective bias has a part no doubt), but that was in Gold and making my way through Platinum and the sudden realization it wasn't gonna work brought me back here to get the answer I needed. Thank you!
Awesome deck! Loving it so far. Thanks for the share!
Thank you man! I have more content like this coming soon :)
Great deck m8
Thank you! I have more guides just like this one coming soon on my YT/Hearthpwn (I just posted a guide on Evolve shaman).
Glad the guide was helpful
This deck is absolutely killing the meta right now. I went Diamond 5 to legend yesterday with only 1 loss to a control warrior that had acidic swamp ooze in opening hand. Also got my 12 wins in a row achievement. Awesome deck! Great to see warrior being competitive and absolutely crushing some of these slower control decks
Glad it worked so well for you! I have a lot more guides like this one coming in the future on my YT. Stay tuned :)
