Stats: 60-21 (74%) through Legend.
C'Thun Druid 5-1 Mid Hunter 5-1 Tempo Mage 5-2
Beast Druid 0-1 Freeze Mage 5-0
Heal Paladin 7-4 Dragon Priest 1-0 Rattle Rogue 6-1
Aggro Paladin 1-0 C'Thun Rogue 0-1
Miracle Rogue 1-0
Aggro Shaman 8-3 Reno Warlock 1-2 Patron Warrior 1-1
Mid Shaman 3-0 Zoo Warlock 8-2 Aggro Warrior 1-0
Control Warrior 3-3
Intro:
I'm dpsimi I've been playing aggro warrior since first getting Legend with it in season 4. You can seem my other lists. I've always play aggro Warrior until rank 5, but I've usually switched to reach Legend. Finally, Blizzard sent some cards our way so let's do this.
Thoughts on Standard:
What held this deck back previously was the sticky minions like Haunted Creeper and Piloted Shredder. These cards ruined our efficient trades with our weapons. Warriors also lost Death's Bite, which made Dread Corsair Free and served as an activator for Grommash Hellscream.
Thoughts on WotOg Cards:
Blackwater Pirate and Malkorok are too slow for Pirate Warrior.
Bloodsail Cultist has two requirements to activate, but the stats are solid
N'Zoth's First Mate is pretty useless outside of the first 3 turns similar to Cursed Blade so we'll only run 1.
Bloodhoof Brave is FANTASTIC. Usually will regain board control or get enough of a footing to get in some damage before our end game burst. Also serves as an activator for Battle Rage.
Ravaging Ghoul - is a Very versatile card. Solid 3/3 for 3. Activates Execute, Battle Rage, and clears a board of 1/1s.
Mulligan:
Sir Finley Mrrgglton, N'Zoth's First Mate, Alexstrasza's Champion, Fiery War Axe, Faerie Dragon.
Heroic Strike- if you don't have any of the cards above.
Azure Drake - if you have Alexstrasza's Champion
Gameplan:
Fight for board control through the early game. Hit their face once you have board. Frothing Berserker, Bloodhoof Brave, Kor'kron Elite should get in some damage, and finished them off with Arcanite Reaper and Mortal Strike. You should be winning around turn 8.
Tip: Count your damage. Set up for lethal 3-4 turns in advance. Know what your opponent can do and prepare for it. Plan ahead and don't waste your spells. Know your limits, your options, and your potential draws.
Cards to Consider:
Abusive Sergeant is powerful with our chargers
Blood To Ichor vs Mid-Range
Slam vs Control
Argent Horserider is a solid 3 drop makes the deck more aggressive
Dread Corsair for a tempo swing
Spellbreaker for Silence
Captain Greenskin for Upgrade! plus body
Cards to Replace:
Upgrade! requires a weapon.
x1 Mortal Strike is very weak draw early
Sir Finley Mrrgglton Picks:
Tier 1: Mage, Warlock, Hunter - each can be better than the other based on situation
Tier 2: Druid, Priest
Tier 3: Rogue, Shaman, Paladin
If you don't have Sir Finley Mrrgglton replace with Blood To Ichor
I won't answer anything that is in the writeup
Trying out -Amani Berserker -Arathi Weaponsmith +N'Zoth's First Mate +Captain Greenskin. Currently Rank 2 after going 22-5 (81%) from 6 to 2.
C'Thun Druid 1-0 Mid Shaman 2-1
Tempo Mage 2-2 Zoo Warlock 2-0
N'Zoth Pally 0-1 Patron Warrior 5-0
Dragon Priest 1-0 Control Warrior 4-1
Miracle Rogue 4-0 Mid Warrior 1-0
Great deck, from rang 15 to 10 in single win streak!
I'm gonna push with this deck tomorrow. Anyone have rank 5 or better gameplay? The videos shown had a bunch of random opponents, some with shit decks and really suboptimal play. Seems like a decent deck.
Great deck, from rank 5 to rank 7 in 40 minutes! Thanks! :D
Really bad deck, can't win against c'thun druid or typical control priest. Other matchups are barely doable.
Will lose every game against any half-decent control deck, might work for climbing ladder in US but you'll be stuck at rank 18 with this deck in EU.
I've played 7 games so far and lost 5, everyone is playing priest/shaman/mage and this deck is useless against them. Fact that SirF***face is in the bottom 5 cards every single game doesn't help either. This deck has 0 consistency, you might luck out and win a game or 2 but overall it's very bad.
Also, why the hell can't i edit my posts, i have to make new one every time.
Great deck I've gone 12-0 from 14 to 10. It curves out so well you win by turn 6 or with double mortal strike turn 8. Don't forget to upgrade your weapons so your opponents will never stand a chance
Hey man this is a really awesome deck, what are your thoughts on deathwing? it could be a huge tempo swing if you run out of steam early on
death wing is kind of slow. And if you mean dragon lord you don't have many dragons in you hand all the time
Tempo Deck. Just play control or mid range dragons
As does any face deck.
How is this a face deck? Does it run Sir Finley and Arcanite Reaper? Then it's a face deck. It's maybe a disguised face deck, but yet it's still a face deck at the end of the day.
Execute and weapons do quite well against all minions.
@Sykomyke
You should not be playing this deck like a face deck. You probably think Zoolock is a face deck too.
Really nice deck to play with but I have one question. How is Justicar Trueheart in this deck? Is there a way to squeze it in and is it usefull at all?
She doesn't belong in the deck. We barely use our hero power.
Wouldn't that make Sir finley useless if we upgraded it?
hi bro, nice deck, i love it, i want to put leeroy, what do you recommend, -1Mortal Strike or -1Arcanite Reaper.... (srry for my english lol, im from chile)
-1 Mortal Strike
This is straight weak tbh, I wouldn't suggest anyone crafting the cards specific to this deck. Pirate warrior is much easier and better at being a face deck, control c'thun is better at the slow game, and patron is better for midgame. This deck doesn't beat anything really...
Well it beats those 3 particular decks quite hard. I would at least say Aggro Shaman, Tempo Warrior, and Reno Warlock, since they are more competitive decks. (Assuming you mean C'Thun Druid)
