Okay, first off I am not sure if Kolento made this deck but he is the only one I have seen play it.
I think he mentioned someone else in a different video but I could not make out the name. That accent :D
I decided to give this a try mainly because I love play warrior. The other warrior decks all have a major weakness in one way or another.
Reno warrior: If you do not have reno by turn six in this meta you just lose.
Classic Control warrior: Getting stuck with big minions early against secrect pali/zoo/huntard = an early concede.
Patron warrior: Not what it used to be, still effective, but mostly vs other aggressive decks or control decks that get horrible draws.
So I tried this and I have to say I love it. I was very skeptical at first but after putting it through 10 games I decided to write this post. 1st post mind you so don't judge to harshly.
10-0 so far vs everything except reno lock.
The word for this deck is removal. All shapes and sizes.
Standard control warrior stuff really with 2 Brawls but the trick is that you do not have to draw against Dr. Boom, Geddon, etc.
Battle Rage for card draw and Unstable Ghouls are ridiculously more effective than I thought they would be outside of a patron deck. Sure it might get silenced but that is one less silence for your belcher or acolyte of pain.
Mulligan guide is pretty simple for all classes. Fiery War Axe, Armorsmith, Bash, and Ghoul. Keep Frostbite Axe with coin and Elise vs anything not face oriented. An argument could be made to always keep Elise and I will not disagree with that, I just do not get her as a starting option most of the time.
You have 1 legendary in this deck and it is Justicar. Get Elise out as soon as possible but do not give up removal to do so.
Give the deck a shot and leave some feedback below.
Here is a video of Kolento doing what he does.

This deck is ridiculously stupid fun and overpowered as the OP says. I went from 20 to 3 in 1.5 hours, 11 or 12 game win streak. The addition of the Ghouls + Battle Rage is genius, ESPECIALLY towards the end-game when you're really looking for the Map/GM. Stupid fun, stupid effective.
The only card I'm missing in my arsenal is Jones, which I naturally replaced with Ooze. Messes up Overload Shamans (seems lots are playing Doomhammer lately), Hunters, and of course, Paladins. Sorry Tirion.
The board clears + selective hard removals are impressive, and like the OP says, the strongest point about this deck is the CURVE. You are pretty much never stuck with cards you can't use immediately or very soon. Then all of a sudden, wombo combo, you got a buncha OP's available once you're at 7-10 mana. By far my favorite deck to play with now, it's too much fun. +1
Justicar Truehart Replacement?
No. Just no.
I'm not the OP but let me tell you in this meta nowadays it's a must to have double brawl since there are too much secret paladins and zoo and they tend to flood the board too much with many value minions. So try to make gold,buy packs and try to dust some cards and make the second brawl. Actually i'm playing the Titan list what's on front page and he told there is better 2 brawl than nothing and i can confirm since yesterday played some matchups and i won because of them.
Reasons to play this deck: Elise Starseeker
Reasons to not play this deck: Elise Starseeker's draw RNG
Why no Grommash?
The beauty of this build is that you don't include any late-game finishers in your deck. Instead you stall/control/armor until Elise Starseeker cycles through. When you're ready to transition to proactively finishing the match, play Golden Monkey and your hand is replaced by finishers.
This way your hand is never clogged early with late-game pieces you have to sit on the whole match - a problem Control Warrior has always had.
Gonna give this a try, altho I added a second Shieldmaiden instead of Harrison cause I just don't own him.
Yeah that's my strategy too.
The point of Harrison isn't just the body; he's a very imposing tech card with his weapon removal. Go with Ooze instead.
+1 for this deck, Purple also running a very similar deck on his stream and reach like top 5 legend with it. It's interesting to play, of course you'll have some games with bad draws and your opponent has perfect draw. Btw, just craft a golden Elise and enjoy all those flashy golden legendaries.
It is just easier to curve out than other warrior decks. Tempted to swap whirlwind for revenge as it does come in handy at low health. Not sure though. I am enjoying it. Tasted defeats for the first time with it today vs a control shaman. Man that's a bad match up for warrior.
