- Arathi Weaponsmith x2
+ Mortal Strike x2
Thanks for the great feedback! I finally subbed out Arathi Weaponsmith. This should give you a little more troughput lategame. You could still add some pesky Legendary like Leeroy or Grommash, but I wanted to keep it budget and it worked out quite fine for me this way.
This deck ranks very fast, I have played it from 20-13 without losing!
It is generally built around Raging Worgen and direct weapon damage.
Mulligan strategies:
Mulligan aggresively for Fiery War Axe. Keep 2 or 3-drops. An early Frothing Berserker can do wonders.
Against Zoo consider keeping a Whirlwind / Elven Archer / Cruel Taskmaster
Playstyle:
You should be able to represent at least 1 or 2 big threats every round, that your opponent has to deal with. Always try to go face. You have to finish the game before big taunts come into play! Try chipping away your opponent's taunts with your weapons to maintain board control.
Combos:
Raging Worgen + Cruel Taskmaster
Can always be paired with Acolyte of Pain or Frothing Berserker or Warsong Commander
Possible Changes:
I'm not to shure if Arathi Weaponsmith perfectly fits this deck. Sometimes it can feel like to many weapons. I was thinking about adding Grommash Hellscream and 1 Mortal Strike instead. Feel free to give some feedback!
Good on paper, but bad at the real game.
First, is too dependent on the cards you draw to pull the combos. Second, most minions, if not all, are too easily dispatched. With 3 HP, any enemy minion ping or a cheap AoE will usually take care of them. Even switching the Arathi WS with Amani Berserkers or Inner Rages doesn't alter the main present drawbacks. Against the current meta is too weak.
I absolutely love this deck, i did change up 4 cards, 2x Arathi Weaponsmith became 2x Mortal Strike, And 2x Spiteful Smith became Leeroy Jenkins and Faceless Manipulator :D
if you throw an Inner Rage into your Leeroy + Faceless combo you could get an extra 4 damage out of it
I cannot win with this deck at all
Pathetic card draws and just switched out Arathi WS after 7 losses straight

horrible gave up on it
This deck works great! Win 4 games out of 6. And both losses are due to me armoring up too much, and are unable to finish my opponent with mortal strike because I have 13 health left. So yeah, don't armor up unless absolutely necessary.
Love this deck only removed a smith for leeroy because I want it :P
took out 2 weapon smiths and 2 spiteful smiths and replaced with Amani Bezerker and Mortal Strike..

Running my slightly modified version on stream right now www.twitch.tv/mcbeebt
This deck has fantastic synergy and is incredibly fun to play! Thanks. (Swapped out the x2 Arathi Weaponsmith for x2 Mortal Strike, by the way.)
Update 1: Had an 8 game win streak with this deck! :D (^ Including my changes.)
Update 2: Swapped out x2 Spiteful Smith for x1 Leeroy Jenkins and x1 The Black Knight for more burst potential with less setup, and to deal with annoying taunts easier.
Update 3: Current custom variation of this deck: http://i.imgur.com/mMqjnRt.jpg
Love this deck! Have played it twice to win challenges and grasped it nicely. I switched out x2Arathi Weaponsmith for my Barron Gedon & Mortal Strike
So THIS is what I keep running into on ladder today...Made it a nightmare trying to grind out my daily quest for Paladin using control pally. Ugg.
This deck was very easy to spot that it was aggro when playing against, but I wasn't expecting Raging Worgen and Frothing Berserker...
The versions I faced were running Grommash Hellscream. I would definitely recommend that addition if you have him (I don't) or Leeroy Jenkins if you have him (I do!) + Inner Rage. VERY strong combo.
What two cards out of his list should I substitute inner rage x2 for do you think?

Arathi Weaponsmith is what I would replace and I would only run 1 of inner rage with a big scary charge in the other open slot.
Oh okay, I think I should change what I did then. I got rid of those two cards and both bloodsail raiders for lee roy and two inner rages, and a mortal strike.
if you really think weaponsmith makes you have too many weapons perhaps you could consider more triggers for your combos, like inner rage + grommash.
also decks name is op.
other options for the secondary card could be Gurubashi even more proc insanity if you dont have grommash. plus it gets to charge off warsong before you whirlwind or inner rage it.
Played 5 games so far, lost maybe 2? Can you please explain to me since I am a new Warrior why Heroic strike. What do you love about this card and what card can potentially replace this card for this type of deck play style?
The purpose Heroic Strike appears to be to push through an extra four damage to your opponent's face. It essentially gives you surprise damage that doesn't require a weapon, and it would even be justifiable to coin it out turn one if you don't have any other relevant plays.
I just ran into this deck four times while I was using my ramp druid deck to ladder. It seems to me like the deck does really well at establishing constant board presence, but if it can't finish by mid-game it gets stomped in the late game. It has made me decide to add an ooze to my deck though.
played it because i was bored - AWESOME deck!
