EDIT (5/4/21): -2 Scorpid. Great card, but +1 Barricade +1 Ogre or +2 Barricade is actually better. Better against aggro and Ogre helps us beat mages. Also barricades activate Yogg. Testing on stream tomorrow 11am - 3pm PST. Come hang and learn to play the deck!
EDIT (5/2/21): Yogg over 1 bunny is better IMO. Better on empty boards, can win unwinnable games, etc. Also -1 Minefield, -1 Taelan, +2 Scorpid. Scorpid can give you more bulk ups against Priest, more removal and an early body against aggro, and helps you cater your hand to your matchup a bit better. Also, without Taelan we avoid any Bulk Up concerns!
EDIT: I have been experimenting with Yogg instead of one Bunny and also a Stage Dive over Taelan to avoid Bulk up issues sometimes! Will update tomorrow after more experimentation!
This deck is absolutely savage. Completely original Poimlok creation! Some of you may remember me from last year when I broke the meta with Veilbatross Priest. I have a 60% WR with this deck on both ladder and in competitive over about 50 games (you can see this in my stream video from today, 4/28/21).
I won THL Pro Series Week 2 with this deck against Control Priest last week, and I plan to bring it again this week.
When played correctly and patiently, this deck is crazy strong and with the upcoming nerfs, its power will only GROW. I hit legend every single season with memes / off-meta nonsense and this will be the one I take there late this season and probably next month as well!
You destroy Ramp Druid, Rush Warrior, most aggro decks, and absolutely OBLITERATE Priest unless they discover an irrational amount of soul mirrors... and even then you probably win. Not many control decks can survive 8 rounds of Clowns and most aggro decks can't handle the amount of removal + armor gain + bulwark when played correctly.
You can sometimes beat Tick Lock, but if they hit key cards you probably lose. Aggro Paladin can also be tough to beat sometimes (they draw the nuts Crab + Hand), but certainly winnable if you have a good mulligan.
Mulligan against aggro: BOARD REMOVAL CARDS - minefield, bladestorm, brawl, rancor. Rancor EATS hunters and paladins alive and don't get me started on how it just erases token druids. You can keep the corsair cache if you're holding 2 removals already. sometimes you should keep armor vendor as a turn 1.
Against control: Corsair Cache lol (more guide coming soon)

Streaming this deck all week from 11am PST - 3pm PST. Check my recent vods for gameplay if you can't make it!
Thank you for checking it out and if you're digging the deck please drop a follow, as it helps my channel so much!
The deck looks fun. My only concern is if it can beat No Minion Mage?
Unfortunately, no. You likely lose this matchup. Nerfs are coming soon and it's almost a guarantee mage gets hit- it should improve this deck.
First game : Got MANGLED By a hunter.. i got so unlucky with draws it was insane
It happens, stick with it. You'll get the hang of it.
This deck is so fun, finally a real Control Warrior deck again. Not pseudo control with Rush minions and stuff.
I thought about a similiar deck before, but didn't dare to craft all the expensive cards to go all in on this.
Oh, and on the Bulwark of Azzinoth discussion, I actually consider it mandatory, a must craft for this deck. More important than Barov, Kargath & Yogg. If you are tight on dust, Yogg isn't really needed (but fun!).
Completely agree with your assessment. Thanks for giving it a whirl and some positivity!
This deck is amazing and feels so damn good in this meta!
It feels like throughout every single game you are just a cat toying with his food. The only difference is your food thinks they have a chance and are thoroughly confused by your every move until you finally drop 2-7 clowns(they never make it to the 8th before losing) on their face.
It beats nearly every deck with ease. I've found out that it's so good that even when I draw all my most expensive very early I still win. In fact, you WANT your high hitting cards as early as possible.
Yes you always keep clowns and ysh against lock, that's for sure! Good work, keep it up!
I see you swapped in Yogg. Since I don't have Yogg, I think I'm going to keep with what it was originally :)
I really wanted to play warrior to grind some wins for the 1000 achievement but I was so tired of playing rush. Props to you! This is deck is so fun.
This is the most entertaining warrior deck I have played since the expansion. Love it!
Thank you for the love!
Hi Poimlok, probably don't remember me (chatted on twitch)...I played your veilbatross to Legend in the past. I tried this deck and it's refreshing to play this clown warrior. Still learning how to pilot it but getting there. Already got 2 priest to rage quit which is pretty rare!! Mage is auto-concede. Having some trouble with Mid range DH though. Overall very good deck. Keep it up!
Thanks so much dude! I absolutely remember you. Thanks for staying in touch and showing support!
wow. Let me just go ahead and say it. Wow. This deck is the absolute nuts. I've already logged about 50 games and I've won like 70% of those games. This deck starts out real sneaky like. Like you know your opponent assumes that you are another one of those stupid meta slave rush warriors. Then you wip out some bangers like BULK UP. After what feels like an hour of toying with your opponents emotions and playing hard to get you finally get to show him what you've been cookin up. BOOM CLOWNS. OUT OF KNOWHERE. Then guess what. 7 MORE CLOWNS. guys,,, if you get 4 corrupted clowns and then drop the big ol daddy 10 drop you get 8 CLOWNS WTF DECK OP. this is the answer to this games bad meta and the savior we need but don't deserve. thank you lord Poimlock
You're a legend!
Any tips against Secret Pala? Semms pretty hard cause erly pressure due to low cost minions but with all those secrets including yogg....
Lost 3 games out of 3 so far.
I'd say that Paladin is generally a win - always keep these cards: Barov, Kargath, Rancor, Brawl, Armor Vendor (for early trades), if you have one or more of these, keep corsair!
I took out a cutting class and put Chtun in, just for the warlock match ups, it also helps with mages, but its still the harder match up.
