Who am i? (None of your business )
So my name is Jaco, a 3x legend player (I know is not that much) that absolutely loves Grim Patron Im from spain, so sorry for my mistakes writing this guide
Wow, this deck just reached the frontpage! Thank you all guys, I really appreciate it, guide in coming! :D
Deck:
Since the nerf of Warsong Commander people has thought that patron warrior is dead, but I'm here to prove it's not, I got legend yesterday with this patron deck (no Warsong Commander nor Frothing Berserker)
It's a more control-ish version of the deck which runs cards like Grommash Hellscream and Dr. Boom
Legend proof:
¿How to play the deck?
I dont really have that much time right now, so I'll write a guide whenever I reach some likes in this deck :)

Mulligan:
-Against combo druid: Since druid has a pretty bad way to deal with multiple patrons you wanna keep Fiery War Axe for a possible early Darnassus Aspirant, and you also want Death's Bite, Inner Rage and Grim Patron that way you can get 4 patrons at turn 5, which is usually a game winning play against druid.
-Against tempo mage: You want to always get a way to deal with an early Mana Wyrm so you probably want Fiery War Axe, you also want Acolyte of Pain and Armorsmith
Against face hunter: Fiery win axe, Unstable Ghoul and Armorsmith, you may also want to keep Slam to deal with Knife Juggler and Cruel Taskmaster to deal with Leper Gnome or Worgen Infiltrator
-Against handlock: You may want cards like Piloted Shredder, Death's Bite and Acolyte of Pain, you may probably want to keep Execute just if you are sure it's handlock, BUT DON'T EXECUTE THE FIRST THREAT HE PLAYS.
-Against secret paladin: You want Fiery War Axe or Slam, Unstable Ghoul or Whirlwind to deal with early aggresion
-Against warrior: You just want the same cards like against Druid with addition of Acolyte of Pain
Guide:
So here we go with a little guide on how to play the deck, as you know with the Warsong Commander nerf we wont be able to do 30+ dmg to face in one turn by charging Frothing Berserkers. So our main goal of the deck is to overwhelm your opponent with multiple patrons that it's impossible for him to deal with.
Early Game:
Pretty much like the old patron or control warrior, you just try to estabilize the board control with weapons and draw some cards. Depending on the match up you want to use your cards in one way or another, for example against face hunter is fine to Slam a knife juggler just to kill it, while against some other control matchup you may be wanting to use it as a card draw and Execute activator.
Mid Game:
Basically between turns 4 to 6 we want to get patrons on the board, Death's Bite turn 4, Grim Patron + Inner Rage turn 5, and just go face or a minion with the weapon to spawn 5 patrons and keep snowballing from that point. Patrons are basically your win condition, so try to play around AoE as much as you can afford.
You also want to keep dropping minions, since mid game is where this deck works better, you also have minions like Piloted Shredder if you cant combo patrons, its just up to you.
Late Game:
You just try to finish off the game with powerful cards like Dr. Boom and an enraged Grommash Hellscream and keep applying pressure with patrons.
Replacements:
Many of you have been asking about replacements, so there you go:
Harrison Jones: This card is actually pretty meta-dependant, so if you aren't facing that many weapon classes you may want to swap him with Loatheb or even a 2nd Sludge Belcher
Grommash Hellscream: Unfortunately there is no real replacement for grommash, he is a very powerful card with a unique effect, you may want to swap him with Ragnaros the Firelord but it will NEVER be the same, so my recommendation is you to craft it asap.
Emperor Thaurissan: While thaurissan is a card with a very powerful effect, its not really necessary as many of you have said on the comments, I just run it because I love the card and works great, but you can try swapping him with Sylvanas, it's up to you.

Just beat a control warrior... without even SEEING my patrons.
Good against warriors too!
very good deck. i swap out harrish and gromas for charge+alex, otk combo and get legend from rank 4 with 70%winrate
New favorite deck, though I may be a bit of a newb, this deck is so much fun and is the Grim Patron I've always wante
possible replacement for Grommash Hellscream is Kel'Thuzad...been using him and Loatheb instead of Harrison Jones...it was worked out pretty well and won me the game a number of times for me...although i am new to the game, and have only played this deck on casual so far
It doing great against aggro! But get Rekt easily against Control Especially Priest n Warrior, they have Brawl and Lightbomb
i use alex+charge instead gro so u can otk priest or midran din
Too bad you get rekt by handlock and control warrior and dragon priest.
i replaced Harrison with Saraad, it actuallly has given me lethal in multple ocassions :D
Poor Rogue :-(
Probably vanish
Vanish
Hmm I am thinking Justicar Instead of Harrison. I understand that Sylvanus can be a decent replacement, but more often than nought it is dealt with, with no real damage done to the opponent. And 4 armor every turn is harder to deal with, than Sylvanes.
Hey, nice deck. I didn't have Harrison on my F2P EU account so I replaced him with a 2nd Dread Corsair. I could have also used 2nd Cruel Taskmaster but I initially Corsair. Used your deck because I had that 3 warrior win quest and don't have all the P2W legendaries for Control. Got lucky and queued into 3 straight Druids. They were no match. Thanks!
Could Justicar be good in this deck?
Im not sure if Justicar Trueheart will serve its purpouse in this deck. I love the card in classic cw, however this deck doesnt rely on stacking armor like classic cw does. You dont use shield slam and other stuff. So I guess it could save your life sometimes, but wont fit in most of the ocassions.
I actually want to try this deck post-WC
