Rag does a good job as he also kinda has charge!

I don't have Grom or Dr. Boom, but I have Ragnaros and Baron Geddon. Should I sub one of the two in for Grom or just play the deck without him?

Instead of Gromm run Rag, and Baron Gedon does not fit this deck

looks like a very solid build.  I do not have grommash.  would Leeroy Jenkins be a decent replacement for the burst damage and potential funny combo of giving you 2 more targets for grim to take out, effectively netting you 2 free grim off of 1 leeroy, or should i go with more draw support to aid with the set-up?

Leeroy can combo with any of your whirl wind effects and my take the inner rage, so putting him in would not make your deck any weaker in my opinion. 

Jeez, Grim Patron is becoming boring really fast 

Hey its better than waves of huntard

Sorry dude, but do you even play Hearthstone? I've tried a lot of decks in this current meta and Patron works the best. You combo the patrons with Warsong Commander and combo them to fill up the board. They can't handle it besides with mass AoE and usually they're dead.

Even without a single card on the board you can OTK an opponent at full health and maybe draw <8 cards

If you are are referring to the loot hoarder in the Patron deck. I would say it would likely impact the deck negatively if you replaced Loothoarder with Thalnos. The +1 Spell damage would increase the power of Whirlwind, causing you to do 2 damage to all minions, including your own. This could kill of Patrons who would otherwise multiply, it would also cause extra damage to your Acolytes and Armorsmiths, you would get significantly less utility out of them with  your increase in self damage. Thalnos could be better if you  needed to try to clear the board, but honestly, it is far too situation and more likely to cause more harm than benefit. Also, 2 attack is better than 1 if you aren't utilizing the spell damage. Thalnos is a reallly great card if put in to a deck that utilizes spells.

tl;dr

No, Thalnos would hurt the deck.

if using self harm spells, then Thalnos == bad;

else if using no damage spells, then Loot Hoarder > Thalnos;

else Thalnos > Loot Hoarder.

It sounds like you haven't played with the card at all, it's been generally useful at buffing Inner Rage into Backstab, Slam into Wrath and Whirlwind into Demonwrath while drawing a card, I think it's definitely a legitimate card choice in the deck if you're playing a more board controling build without using Brawl in order to maintain card velocity.

I think the biggest arguments against it are that it's not really a card you want to keep in your mulligans and it can't trade by itself with a 2 drop like Mad Scientist or Haunted Creeper.

There are a lot of reasonable choices for Patron Warrior, Azure Drake, Raging Worgen, Alexstraza and Harrison Jones are all tech cards that can replace other cards like Gnomish Inventor, Garrosh Hellscream, Armorsmith etc. and frankly I'm surprised at the lack of Alexstraza for OTK and Harrison Jones for the mirror, but net deckers gonna net deck.

That said, I will never understand people who use Dread Corsair, let alone 2 Dread Corsair, as that card is SO situational compared to Slam.

I'd also like to know the best replacement for Grom. Is it even worth playing the deck if you don't have Grom?

Deck is definitely still playable and good without grom, it just serves as an additional finisher and a little bit more damage lategame to push through, second slam or second dread corsair would probably be the best replacement, Dr Boom is nice too if you have it.

Anything Big. :) Boom, Rag, ect. Or perhaps you could make your deck more consistent. More combo starters ect. The deck is really yours, some versions run Harrison to one up other warriors and some run belchers. It's really your call.

What would be a good replacement for Gormash Hellscream?

Mekgineer is not a good replace for Grommash xD, u can play this deck without Grommash, indeed there are a lot of versions without him.

P.D: I think grim patron decks without gromm are not that good.

I think it's more of an "Oops, I win" card than it is a necessity in the deck, it's a good but situational top deck where another card like Raging Worgen could potentially do the same thing for less mana while being more relevant vs Face Hunter
