Major Update: Credit where credit is due, shoutout to Spark for giving some massive input on this deck. For those who unaware he's a talented and prolific deckbuilder here on Hearthpwn, and his advice has helped this deck phenomenally. The fact that it's now significantly cheaper is just an added bonus.
Let's throw one wildly successful barfight.
(remember to "like" if you, well, "like")
Arite stranger, so this is the deck I've been wanting to craft for so. damn. long. But with the pleasant additions of Grim Patron and Emperor Thaurissan, I can finally gift you The Brute Squad, an absolute damage-funnel of madness guaranteed to show you a full board of Grim Patrons, Berserkers doing well over 10, the fun true power of the Bouncing Blade and madness everywhere.
Oh, and the best part is that it works. Took it right out to ranked after building it and I'm 5 for 5 so far, so let's get you some wins as well.
Wing 2 Edit:
My my how this deck has changed. From Aggro to Control and back again, the inclusion of Axe Flinger really has changed a lot, and now the deck has nestled into something absurd and unique; an odd balance of control and aggro that allows you to shave off the weaker minions (a Paladin's and Beast Master's nightmare) all while pushing forward rather successfully. In I'm 4 for 5 in just the short time I've had it at its current form, charging past Freeze Mages, burning up Totem's and catching Hounds and Snake Traps in Whirlwhinds.
Being that this concept is still fresh, PLEASE by all means give whatever input you have; it's helped get this fun bastardish deck to where it is now, and I'm sure we can push it further.
You're going to have a damn good time with this deck, and you're going to have quite a few wins with this deck, so have fun and please post any questions or ideas you could have.

Armorsmith Edit 4/09/2015:
The girl's back. A half-hour ago I played against someone using this exact deck while I was using that dumb popular face Hunter, and I still managed to skirt by him. It was the most infuriating win I've ever had. Emotions everywhere.
Anyways after a few matches of testing with some friends, yes, Armorsmith still can work in this deck, and certainly fits the meta better, but mind you it's going to take a bit more skill to juggle the fine line this runs between aggression and control.
It's most likely going to be subbed out once I have to reorganize the deck around Axe Flinger, but weirdly enough I've been having such saving plays with this card I don't want to get rid of it.
If facing a Ramp or Handlock, my armor's usually built up enough that it's viable. If facing aggro, it can be put to quick use to get rid of a threatening Whirling Zap-o-matic or Knife Juggler.
Please by all means try out try out replacements, but until further BRM releases I'm going to keep it in just because it has saved my ass so much and feel it could do the same for a few others.
Alright, you're definitely going to want to craft Bouncing Blade (in combination with Grim Patron it's almost guaranteed to get you a full board of them, and I've gotten Gurubashi Berserker hitting the hero for 14 damage from it). If you really don't have the dust, try either a second Whirlwind or Mad Bomber.
But what I'd definitely recommend is Kel'Thuzad in place of Baron Geddon (great synergy with the taunts, enrages and Patrons) and Crush in place of Shield Slam for board removal.
Hoped that helped!
Sounds great in theory. Bombers were very inconsistent for me when I tried them. When you want to activate the patrons, you want to activate them. Not have a chance of activating them.
Fun deck, I like it.
just pulled Sylvanas from a pack I got with my first 4 wins with this deck. Any thoughts as to whether there's a place for him here?
ive done a few substitutes due to some card gaps: - gorehowl in place of grommash, 2nd fiery win axe and korkron instead of armorsmiths, 2nd Amani instead of 2nd acolyte, KT instead of thermaplug
Good choice; I'm about to get rid of the Armorsmiths (great synergy in the deck, but just too slow for its meta) and have been playing around with replacing them with Amani Berserkers quite a bit; they're actually pretty damn good at getting an early hold on the board and scaring off aggro decks.
I know Cruel Taskmaster is "more common", but with all the 2 board-damage cards here I feel like Amani's just a better fit.
How about throwing in battle rage? and or commanding shout? They both have some nice synergy with patron in particular, but also some of the other minions!
Swapping in Battle Rage for Kor'kron Elite works pretty well for me. Very fun deck to play!
Thanks a lot for this deck! I've had fun with it so far, (Re)filling the board with patrons to smash through defenses is a blast! :)
Just had my moment of glory with this deck. Playing against a control warrior, he already used his Brawl on my first board of Grim Patron courtesy of Warsong Commander. A few turns later, he Alexstrasza'd me, all I had in hand was an Execute and my other Grim Patron. Next turn, I top deck Bouncing Blade, drop Grim Patron and get a full board of them. Then the hilariousness ensued--army of Grim Patron hitting this poor guy turn after turn until gg. So much fun.
BTW, a lot of this would not be possible without Emperor Thaurissan!!
Aye it seems like the consistent issue with this deck is card draw.
I'm going to try swapping a Battle Rage between the Kor'kron Elite, Cruel Taskmaster and Raging Worgen to see what works best.
I rather like having 4 weapons.
This deck is super fun to play. The winrate isn't too great vs some classes, but it's so fun it's worth it anyway. I don't even have grom.
I playyed a mirror match just now (and won). I think the warsong + patron turn is a serious catch-up move turn 8, especially vs aggro / rush decks. You can usually last against them until that turn and use it to basically win.
Absolutely hilarious. Just got back into playing Heart after quite a while and this is exactly what I needed. First game with it I had the warsong on board and bouncing blade in hand... 5 Grim Patrons on the board with charge. Well done :p
Would Ysera make a nice replacement for Thermaplug?
I can see Axe Flinger finding it's way into this deck when he gets released too.
Hmm Ysera's a fantastic card, but really doesn't have enough synergy with the deck, isn't really fast enough, and most of her Dream cards wouldn't work fantastically well with the board.
Might I recommend Ragnaros the Firelord or Kel'Thuzad instead.
And yes, Axe Flinger will immediately replace Kor'kron Elite when the card is available.
Exploit deck. Will be fixed soon so enjoy it while you can I guess.
I'm pretty sure it's working as intended.
Why would they intentionally implement something this retarded?
Fun stuff. I'm not entirely sold on the Kor'kron Elite yet, but it hasn't been terrible either. I'm going to play around with that card slot a bit.
Aye, he's going to be immediately replaced with Axe Flinger when it's released; until then I find it's nice to have a little burst even if the Warsong's aren't on the board.
