Hi to all, i'm reds, and italian player =). After the success of my first deck posted here on hearthpwn ( http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/375654-control-priest-ladder-climber-alias-al-capone-deck ) i decided to post a new deck: a control warrior with LOE cards, in particular reno jackson. This deck guarantees high percentage of wins at all metas, but it (obviously) gives his best at ranks 5 and above, where the meta normally isn't really aggressive as at lower ranks.
Now lets see the deck in dephs:
1x Execute: this card is just a must for a control warrior (or kinda for or the warriors), because is just a nearly-perfect removal. This deck has many cards to damage opponent's minions, so it will be easy to use this card, and it's a cheap card (for mana cost).
1x Shield Slam: really good spell, low-mana cost, high damge reahceble, really flexible, exelent removal
1x Fiery War Axe: just perfect weapon... really, you'll nearly allways want to mulligan for it due to his perfect mana cost-impact that it has... best answers for the earlier turns against aggroes
1x Reverenge: good AOE, perfect vs aggro, and provides good combos (for example with acolyte)
1x Slam: flexible card: 2 mana-2damage drop as removal for aggro, or a card which provides free draws lowering opponent minion's health... pretty good
1x Armorsmith: this card seals aggro, and with the right plays will set your armor at incredible high levels
1x Cruel Taskaster: good answer for aggro, provides combo and trades, i just love cards with multiple applications like this one
1x Bash: 3 damage removal which provides even an armor up? just too good
1x Bouncing Blade: Players often underestimate this card: if played rightly (for example if you have on the board acolyte or armorsmith you can use it to lower enemy minions health or kill one AND draw/armor up, or play it with only one minion on the board and so on) it's just awesome!
1x Shield Block: Instant +5 amor and draw...
1x Death's Bite: obligatory.... destroys aggro, provides combo, gives favorable trades... just too good....
1x Brawl : i hope i don't have to explain why this card is good and fondamental in this deck.
1x Shieldmaiden: good 6 mana drop, 5-5 and armor up
1x Gorehowl: a card that can easly "burn" multiple cards... a must in a control
1x Obsidian Destroyer: really good new card, more turns on the board=more impact. and it's even a good wrynn target
1x Grommash Hellscream: 10 burn damage, pretty good finisher
1x Varian Wrynn: okokokokok....... for 3 mana (if we assume that 7-7 for 7 mana is a normal drop) you'll summon up to 3 minions.... or draw cards.... in a match i summoned ragnaros and grommash and drawed death's bite... i was losing tha match but i won it in the end... so varian wrynn, even without a really big RNG like mine, it one of the few cards in the game which can win a match alone... it's just insane...
1x Zombie Chow: nice 1 mana drop to better deal aggro and survive until 4+ mana turns
1x Acolyte of the Pain : multiple draws, nice combos and seals aggro (or even paladin hero power)... pretty key card
1x Big Game Hunter: good removal/minion for matches vs control or even some midrange
1x Piloted Shredder: Perfect 4 mana drop, very sticky minion
1x Antique Healbot: ok we have the armor but we even have much damage from the weapons, so if we don't draw Reno, or we summon it, we coult need another healing card: here are the healbot =)
1x Sludge Belcher: really nice 5 mana drop, sticky and good vs aggro
1x Justicar Truheart: 4 armor is just insane for a control deck....
1x Reno Jackson: The star of this deck... in many matches well have kinda 15-20 of life+ some armor or even lower and boom.... instant 30.... anyway don't wait to have 3 of life to play it ;)
1x Sylvanas Windrunner: This card is fantastic, few cards gives her board pressure, and who doesn't know the sylvanas+brawl combo?
1x Baron Geddon: i don't remember how many times this card saved my ass...basically a minion which provides multiple AOE.... the nightmare of aggro and zoo decks...
1x Dr. Boom: he has many names, dr. boom, dr. "gg", dr. balanced and so on, but only a thing is really important: he is THE 7 mana drop.
1x Ragnaros the Firelord: a typical control warrior lategame card, lately a little bit disused , but really solid 8 mana drop, devastant with a little bit of RNG, and perfect target for Wrynn effect...
1x Alexstrasza: the best warrior's friend.... if you have aleady played control warrior (or control deck more generally) you know is importance....
Deck strategy:
This is basically a control warrior, so on the early game you'll have to fight for the board with minions like zombie chow and cruel taskmaster and the weapons. It's when you reach the mid-game that this deck gives his best:take the board, focus the damage on opponent minions, it's useless to play aggressive if in the lategame you'll use alexstrasza to set you opponent's hero health to 15. Don't be afraid to use your removals. If you have played rightly in the late-game your big minions will overwhelm your opponent, because he'll don't have enough answers or removals.
Mulligans:
It is pretty easy mulligan in this deck: you'll nearly always look for Fiery War Axe and Zombie Chow to gain the board control on the early-game, if you are dealing with aggro mulligan aggresively even for cards like slam that can help you to survive untile the 4+ mana turns. If you are dealing slower decks like midrange or controls you can hold even mid-game cards like sludge belcher or death's bite to have them when you need them.
I hope that this deck help you to rank more easily, if you have any question/suggestions comment and i'll answer as soon as possible =)
ps don't forget to like if you liked this deck =)
Opened my king (alliance player here) and never got to use him until now. I dont like this against paladins because of balanced equality consec, but vs midrange druid if he pulls 3 minions he auto wins the game.. I normally get smashed by midrange druid running my standard Cw, but this deck definitely wins against him. I took out obsidian for harrison to deal with bsbringer. Didnt realize gorehowl is such a fun card haha
This iteration just aint for me. around R7-5 i have a 25% win rate with this.
Lost vs:
secret pally x2
Reno Mage x1
Reno Priest x2
Overload Shaman?????????? x1
I lose tempo and thats it. Problem is that there isnt a good curve to this. You CAN have double copies in reno decks especially because when it comes down to it in most games you've drawn the duplicate card needed (like Execute x2 for example) before the need to use Reno.
Reno priest does a much better job at this than warrior as a whole with more efficient and plentiful removal in the case of going for fatigue. Wrynn without Grommash seems lame especially with Deaths bite. Ysera seems like a better choice over Wrynn in this case. Lost my Wrynn board to lightbomb and equality multiple times.
Never never ever would I put out Ysera for Varian. Ysera is just such an autoinclude in CW. Varian is just a winmore card.
Sry but Varian is 100% a card which has nothing to do with any meta. Its just a card who can cost you a win but nearly never will win you a game. Like I said its just a win more card.
Ysera instead is a card who will never loose you a game but win you so many.
I will have to agree with red here...ysera is far from an auto include in warrior decks...I have reached legend every season with my warrior and rarely ran ysera...she is too slow and in mirror matches is removed right away.I do not run wrynn either though. I have always ran iron juggernaut to replace them.
After controlling the board ,Varian will swing the tempo in your favour against paladin matchups, which is the meta right now and most of the time immediately provide you with lethal on board next turn, whereas if you have played ysera, you will just slowly die. Against mirror varian is a dead card, but against orher matchups it can be argued that it is better than ysera.
Replacement forBaron Geddon ?
