THIS IS NOT UPDATED TO THE OLD GODS, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS LISTED AS SO.
Please ignore.
Finished r22 legend! Hype!
EDIT 10/11/15 - THIS IS A TEST version. Secredin is cancer.
10/12/15 - Hit legend with this current build, however I don't think the build is good.
Works well in the meta, nothing special besides no sylv. Just standard CW.
Mulligan
I'm going to just write-up special cases here. In general:
VS Aggro: Fiery War Axe, Cruel Taskmaster, Any 2/3 drop is fine to keep.
VS Control: Death's Bite, Justicar Trueheart (You can keep slower cards if you have a weapon/shield slam in hand. I keep slower cards anyway, but be careful with guessing what deck it is.)
Special cases:
VS paladin, If you're going first, I'd highly recommend keeping Brawl, assuming you have high drops in your starting hand. This can at least get you back in the game if you have a bad starting hand. Also, keep 2/3 drops for shieldbot.
VS CW, if you know it's control, you can beat other control warriors easily by forcing them to shield slam/execute your shield maidens/belchers. Aka try to mulligan for an aggressive curve. I've only lost to 1 other control warrior in my climb to legend, and quing into legend the past week. It's easy to outplay other control warriors.
VS Shaman, Value brawl highly here. Remember bloodlust and flame totem as you play cards and play around lethal. Geddon is the best card here. I played 0 shamans LOL
VS Druid/Priest - It IS 100% worth it to keep Execute in your hand. Druid is especially frustrating to play against, and if a priest gets an early velen's chosen, and you have no removal, you probably just lost. If you have a shieldblock+shieldslam, you could technically keep that aswell.
Will write full guide later tonight - In Progress
Explaination:
Double Brawl and Baron Geddon because CW struggles with tokens and somewhat riddler, depending on your draw.
Varian Wrynn - I don't like this card. Personally, I think it's useless in CW. Replace it for Sylv, it's in the decklist because I did run this card and VS something like Dragon priest it wins games (Assuming you baited out lightbomb)
Justicar Trueheart - Simply amazing. Won me plenty of games
x2-Cruel Taskmaster - More useful than you'd think. I hated this card originally, but it puts a lot of bigger minions in reach when used on Belcher, armorsmith, or AoP or an execute-enabler. Can be replaced with Revenge
Replacements
- Varian Wrynn + [card]sylvanas windrunner[/card]
-Shieldmaiden +Harrison Jones (Please note Harrison is extremely slow vs a lot of aggro, so this is a personal tech if you want it.)
-Baron Geddon + Sylvanas Windrunner OR Ragnaros the Firelord (Keep double brawl if you sub Geddon)
-Cruel Taskmaster +Revenge (If you do this, replace a Brawl With something like Emperor Thaurissan. That much AoE isn't healthy for the deck.)
(Also -1 shield block -1 shieldmadien +2 sen'jin would probably work well)
*Due to popular suggestions I switched x1 Shield block with x1 Bash
I'll try to answer all questions as best possible, but I prefer to be asked in this thread (Would make it easier for me): http://www.hearthpwn.com/forums/class-discussion/warrior/61776-top-200-legend-cw-advice
Deathlord is a bad ideia. It's good only against zoo decks. If you play it against some decks, you automatically lost.
Meta isn't good for CW, secretdin is too much. I'm trying every build and tech I can think of and staying competitive with the rest of the matchups, it just doesn't work.
control warrior has a high skill cap + CW is not very good for the meta. i've been bouncing back from rank 2 to 4 for the past week, and i'm getting aggravated as well. it's unfortunate because i don't enjoy playing cancer pally, or casino mage but i might have to. everyone in the CW thread might have to LOL. if you can't beat e'm, join e'm??????
I think running no acolytes, no slams and only one shieldblock is not enough card draw.
Oh yeah no doubt. That's why I highlighted I'm testing this out, I hit legend with it however I think it is an extremely bad list. (Targeting a specific counter-matchup doesn't really help.)
Explanations for new changes?
Just trying stuff out. I really found myself not needing card draw with so many druids and secredins (My hearthstats showed these 2 classes made up 72% of my games)
The deck seems very nice,thanx Mendi, luckily i just opened Alexstrasza and crafted Justicar Trueheart to start playing a proper CW deck, only card i am missing is Geddon and i would like to tech in 2 Deathlord , i guess replacing Geddon and 1 armorsmith. Any suggestions would be appreciated. :) currently i am stuck at rank 5 playing double combo druid/secret aggro/Face Huntard and thinking CW would be best for the 5-legend climb
I replace Baron Geddon with Revenge and i playing with Harrison Jones for card draw against Pally and Warrior
PS: sorry for my bad english
Don't have ysera, baron and musing one shield slam. Replacements?
Sry i have to say this, but this deck is not playable in the current meta. Against secret Paladin you can autoconcede. And against every other aggro deck you have a chance under 50%. And yes, I now how to play CW. But this deck does not work on EU server!
Lol what deck would you recommend for playing vs aggro then? :D
For example put 2 deathlords in it or revenge
I'd agree actually, with how the meta is now. I'm using deathlords now to help the matchup.
It's pretty important.
It's insane in the mirror matchup & priest.
Hey I don't have baron, I see you wrote to replace it with rag and keep the double brawl which I planned on doing. But would maybe a sen'jin or black knight instead of the rag be a good choice? I'd like to hear your opinion on it otherwise I'll just stick with rag.
That'd be fine. Sen'jin. Also you can replace x2 cruel taskmasters with x2 shredders to improve the paladin matchup slightly.
hi man great deck but i dont have Baron Geddon, can u give me a good replacement?
"-Baron Geddon + Sylvanas Windrunner OR Ragnaros the Firelord (Keep double brawl if you sub Geddon)"
