Exciting news, News of Standard is in the air and I have adjusted the deck accordingly. This deck is highly experimental. I'm unsure of how well cards like Arathi Weaponsmith will do with Death's Bite now being out of the game. Shieldmaiden and Sludge Belcher are also big hits.
This is a much lower curve control Warrior with Elise Starseeker to win control match ups. With this deck you don't have to worry about drawing cards against another control deck since if you draw Golden Monkey, fatigue wont matter. That part hasn't changed with the advent of standard.
It might actually correct to now make this deck super slow since the removal of the majority of difficult to deal with deathrattle cards means aggro is taking a HUGE hit.
EDIT: Added C'Thun's Chosen because it's a really good card even without C'Thun and also N'Zoth's First Mate because:
Compare it to Living Roots. Living Roots, as we all know, is a really good card. With this card, instead of a second 1/1, you get a 1/3 weapon. It's pretty clear that a Heavy Axe is a lot better than a Wisp. And just like Living Roots, the weapon allows this card to be extremely useful in the late game as an extra Execute enabler.
In Wild, this card is even more beautiful. For too long, warriors have gotten immeasurably screwed by minions with divine shield like Annoy-o-Tron and Shielded Minibot. Well NO LONGER, my fellow brothers in arms. Finally, we have a cheap way to ping of divine shields as Warriors.
The dream with this card is you're playing against an aggressive deck. They turn Leper Gnome. You smack down N'Zoth's First Mate and put that diseased gnome out of it' misery. Then, to follow up they play Knife Juggler. You play a 2-drop or even just Armor Up! and trade your 1/1 and you weapon into the Knife Juggler. Congratulations, your 1-drop just traded two for one with 3 mana worth of stuff and you still have a 1/1 Rusty Hook left over to destroy something else.
This is Muster for Battle except you're paying a 3rd of the mana for a 3rd of the 1/1s and still getting almost the full weapon.
Added some stuff because new cards came out.
For any of those curious you can check out some of my other WoG Theorycraft decks here: blorp
EDIT: teched in The Black Knight because of all the targets
this deck doesnt work, it got me 1-5
Play better.
lol
Love the deck, so fun to play. I replaced the saraad for a second ghoul. The ghoul is great for the armor smith and acolyte combo and combating aggro. Thanks!
Love this deck!
I don't mind the random effect from Malkorok at all.
Teched out the fishhook dude for BGH and named it AntiThun. I'm actually 5-1 against 'thun decks this morning with that small change. They seem to wait for your to blow executes and shield slams and then drop thun, never expecting BGH. Also dropping Sylvanas and Armorsmith around turn 9-10 on a relatively empty board is a deal breaker. They scramble to remove and waste a few turns and let you armor up more.
Is vanilla part of standard
Yes
Harrison Jones would be a viable option, there's a lot of weapon classes on ladder
I replaced it with a second Bloodhoof Brave.
I also feel that Baron Geddon is a better drop than Malkorok, especially with the amount of Shamans and Locks playing right now.
This is a standard deck dude, why are you comparing cards that are not in standard format? However, I agree with you that acolyte does not have much whirlwind effect to activate it(although cruel taskmaster,slam shield slam can activate it but not efficientor it can just simplify attack another minion).
I don't have The Black Knight and Sylvanas Windrunner but I have dust to craft one. Which one should i craft? A replace for the other?
Sylvanas Windrunner will get you more bang for your buck since many decks use her.
I only have 1 Brawl, any replacement please?
Revenge or Baron Geddon
REPLACEMENT FOR MALKOROK PLEASE?
what is a good replacement for Malkorok?
I replaced him with Baron Geddon.
