From rank 5 I had a 11 win streak before finally losing and then afterwards steadily made my way to legend.
The games I did lose were also very close, down to the wire. This deck is not too far different from a standard control warrior, but includes 2 grand crusaders. This card I believe is underrated and the amount of times it gave me a good card and increase my card count was more than I expected. I drew Tirion a few times in control match ups and in aggro I was able to get healing spells. Sometimes, you will get a worthless Light's Hammer, but even then you can use it to your advantage.
I replaced Sylvanus as one of the 6 drops to add in a crusader and never looked back. I tried many different versions of control warrior, deathlords, slams, no armoursmiths, no cruel, no acolyte, but I found the most success with this version. Having more low mana minions such as cruel, armoursmith and acolyte means you won't fall too far behind on board early on. This is the reason why 1 brawl is more than enough. There has been a lot of talk about the necessity for two, and at first I agreed, but I realized that if your early game is strong enough you don't need to rely on having a second brawl.
The other discussion is with acolyte, the recent trend is cutting acolytes and sticking with slams and shield block's, and I did run this type of deck up to rank 5, but hit a dead end and struggled to get past. Putting the acolytes back in made me play a more proactive warrior and even slamming it down on turn 3 against aggro was more than enough to stabilize later.
If you love control warrior and want to try some new cards like crusader then have a shot. This was my first time to legend and I hope it can help some of you also!
remplacement for Revenge/ x2 Crusader?
To each his own, but for me the Crusaders were definitely the weakest part of the deck. The deck is well constructed as a CW deck goes and I have been doing well with it, but I just wanted to say IMHO the Crusader cards are nothing more than a gimmick from my experience. Take out the Crusaders and it's a pretty standard CW build... If anyone besides the author has seen amazing value out of those cards I've love to hear it. As for me, I switched them out and had better results. I'm running a 2nd brawl and Shredder.
The only card I am missing is Grommash. Would Ragnaros be a viable replacement or can anyone offer one up until I can get the big guy crafted?
I would try
1* Nexus with 1* Crusader
because this deck has too much 6 mana card
I would like to have a 5 mana card than 6
Great deck ! I'm hesitating to put another brawl
Ahah trust me I know how to play I have been legend several times, the only thing is against pala secret sometimes you don't draw the brawl and you just lose
you can also try kodo rider in your deck as a 6th drop. works pretty good.
How is it goings without Ysera as a late game engine agains control decks?
I've yet to get a good card from the Crusaders (got Bolvar, but was forced to play him as a 3/7) but I agree the card seems better than Sylvannas.
