As the name suggest, this deck aims to control the game and win based on the vast number of late game cards. With the addition of Varian wyrnn from the TGT, a turn 10 Varian Wyrnn can be a huge tempo swing against other control decks. To abuse its ability, both ragnaros and ysera have been included in this deck to improve the chances of Varian Wyrnn drawing one of them. In the early game, you survive with armor smith, shield blocks as well as the hero power. You also can clear your opponents minions with the fiery war axe(value) and death's bite As you enter the mid game, you can gain even more armor with shield maidens and removing your enemies' minions with execute and shield slam. Brawl is also a way you can completely wipe the boards of aggro. Approaching the late game, you can Alexstrasza your opponent down to 15 and line up for a grommash lethal.
Things to note:
Sylvannas+ Brawl can steal you a big enemy minion on turn 10 (after the discount from the emperor)
Before you execute/shield slam, always consider the threats in your opponents' deck and how many of the cheap removals you have left. Knowing your opponents' biggest minions can help you to make the decision between trading and executing it.
Mulligans:
Look of Acolyte of Pain, Cruel Taskmaster, Fiery War Axe and Death's Bite and Bash
Revisiting this deck again after a couple of weeks - still very effective against a range of decks:

Went up against a Shaman, Giants Mage and other interesting decks!
Im your biggest fan
Brilliant deck - thanks for constructing and writing the guide. A lot of fun to play :-) Here's a video of me playing it: http://youtu.be/GjxZ7aG8tiI
Thanks! Good luck with your youtube channel!
Im really thanknig you for this deck but I have one question. Is Baron Geddon still good in the current meta?
It is a viable option. I actually wanted to include it but I didn't wanted to craft it.
Ive tried out your decks and it works really well. I just have to ask what can I remove for a second brawl? Totem shaman rekts me every time
Belcher or bash
Skeptical. 6 mana 6 3 gets killed very easily. Will have to experiment first.
Good deck. I'm currently running SenjinShieldmasta and 2x piloted for the extra early tempo, at my low rank its working well. i traded my shieldmadens for them, seeing that battlecry doesnt work w/ varian. i also have sneeds and baron geddon for doom and alex for the same reasons, no battlecry w/ varian.
same overall idea, fuuun deck to play.
Oh, i also have slam for bash, just to be a little greedy for card draw, which is important if you have thaurissan, though bash does fit well.
I feel like Varian really doesn't get played enough to tech your deck around him. I mean, its a 10 mana card.
gr8 deck! will it be good against FASt decks?
Yes your weapons will do well to take out early game threats
I would exchange the bash for a second taskmaster, otherwise very strong Deck!
Taskmaster is a good card in control but bash can synergise with shield slams better. It's really up to you, both are great cards!
