Thank you for all the possitive comments, it really feels good to see so many people enjoy playing my deck :)
General Guide:
The idea came to me because of how powerfull Alex Champion is compared to other charge minions. A normal 3 mana charge has 3/1 stats while this card is 3/3 for 2 mana which is ridiculous.
The most important thing to remember: every turn starting at about turn 4, you should consider how close you are to lethal and how close is your opponent. If you are closer, usually go face. before trading you must consider "on his turn, will he do the trade?" if you have enough pressure the answer should be "yes" and thats when you go face.
Because sometimes you will be able to have early pressure and sometimes you wont, your playstyle should be different every game even when facing the same decks. Play really aggressive or really defensive depends on your draws and matchups, I won games vs both face hunter and secret paladin going almost only face, and I had games (vs those same classes) where I just outvalued them to the point they were out of cards, so really think each turn which direction the game is going.
Update (13/11/2015): Replaced 2x Acolyte of Pain for 2x Frothing Berserker. I dont have much time to play and test it right now but from the few games I played after the change they were better than Acolytes most of the time.
Update (04/12/2015): Replaced 2x Frothing Berserkers with Brann Bronzebeard and Sir Finley Mrrgglton, they both fit really well in this deck. there are lots of battlecry for brann and the warrior hero power doesnt fit with the aggressive style of this deck, the fact that you can choose your hero power depends on the matchup is super usefull.
paladin hero power vs control warrior, or anything that helps you control the board vs midrange decks is a huge improvment.
Card Replacements:
If you dont have Grommash, Ragnaros can do his job with good results but it will be less consistant.
Instead of Nefarian you can use Ragnaros (at the cost of dragon synergy) or ysera which is a pretty good replacement but I feel like the 8 attack is really important in this deck.
Another cards that fit this deck are: Acolytes - you can try them instead of Frothings if you feel like you are running low on cards too often.
Arcanite Reaper - the earlier versions of this deck had 1 copy of it but it got replaced by BGH because almost all decks right now have at least 1 BGH target (boom) and the damage wasnt really needed.
cards that I dont like in this deck: Brawl - I tried adding 1 Brawl but after testing I found that when you are behind on board, and than you brawl, because you used 5 mana, usually you are not developing your own board this turn and your opponent still has 1 minion. than he has a full turn to develop while your board is still empty.
Chillmaw - Doesnt fit this deck at all because you want to control the board with minions not with removals, so usually it will kill your own stuff.
Mulligan:
General Mulligan: You want to have a good curve If you have it, keep it. With this deck it should happen most of your games. Always keep Alex Champion and Win Axe. If you already have Alex champion, Technician and any dragon, keep all of them.
Dont be too greedy - having Alex Champion, Technician and Death's Bite in your opening hand might look nice but without activators its not really good, in this case depending on the matchup I will usually mulligan both the Technician and Death's Bite.
Specific matchups:
Hunter - Also mulligan for Cruel Taskmaster and Armorsmith. If you dont have a 2 drop, always mulligan everything
Priest, Rogue - Keep Death's Bite.
Warrior - You can be Greedy here and keep Shredder and Guardian even without a 2 drop. Both those minions are hard for control warriors to deal with and missing a 2 drop here is not as bad as in other matchups.
Other calsses - Use the General Mulligan and your brain.
matchups:
good matchups: face hunter, tempo mage, freeze mage, combo druid, dragon priest, midrange paladin, any mech deck, control priest, oil rogue
medium matchups: control warrior, secret paladin, midrange hunter, aggro druid
bad matchups: zoo, handlock variations

Amazing deck mate!
Last night I made something like this myself, just to play something different from everyone I was playing against on ladder. Today I logged in just to see if anyone had a better and update list, and here's yours! xD
I still made my own modifications. Currently trying to fit Dragon sinergy in a Reno Dragon Warrior. Pretty hard to do :/
very nice deck, winrate 74% after 31 matches....ty ;)

Great deck! Been enjoying this new way of playing warrior. Managed to pull off a Brann + Champion + Champion + Cruel turn for 12 dmg lethal against a zoolock, made my day!
First game with this and I played Nefarian while Brann Bronzebeard was on my board.
Brann Bronzebeard is flippin' fantastic in this deck! Great change up.
I just created my account to say that this deck is amazing!! I reached rank 4 with it and still climbing.
I made some changes to make the deck more consistent vs aggro : - 2 Blackwing Technician for 2 Fierce Monkey
- 2 Piloted Shredder for 2 Slam
Thx for the deck man, I really like this new approach for warrior!
Very fun deck thanks a million:) I play 25 games yesterday and had a win rate of 64%. Mind you I'm a new player at level 14 as max. But the best deck I have tried. I'm having trouble with face hunters? Out seems like they finish me before I can mount any good stuff. Maybe I'm not going enough after his minions. The tempo makes me go face. Is that wrong??
Thanks for a very in depth answer, really cool: I will change my strategy like you say. I will play some games and report back with the new stats...I also feel the deck have a surprise effect to other players witch can be fun:))
one of my problems in general is that I'm not to good at guessing what cards my opponent have and will play. So I walk into stupit things.
Just hit rank 10 with the deck. It works great for me. My goal this season was rank 10 and still a few days to go. I find that secret paladins are the hardest ones to deal with. The face hunters I now got under control. Control warriors can be difficult too. Great fun to play!
Shield slam not worthy of this deck?
HeyHey like the deck yoh! I know dragon warrior isn't a new concept but I like that you made a different style of dragon warrior really nice yoh :D ! Here's some gameplay I got today for the deck... ENJOY!!!
Np :p !
Is the drakonid crusher good enough?
opinions on chillmaw? worth crafting?
Do you think Brawl would be a good card to add to help the medium matchups become good matchups?
EDIT: Could also help make the Zoo matchup a better result too
Nice Deck, great curve and consistent.
What would you mulligan for???
This is a fun deck to play and claim ranks with :)
I'm at Rank 13 and doing pretty well atm. I hope to get to rank 10 or lower soon with this deck
I'm glad too because I was 1-8 last night with my Zoo Deck haha. Some reason I was getting bad draws, and unable to win games. Funny, because the nights before I was owning the ladder.
This deck help me regain the ranks I lost :)
Cool Deck!
I have every single card except Gromm, what can i replace him with?
