This deck is a take on Fatigue Warrior with the new card Prince Malchezaar.
General Playstyle
Basically you want to outlast your opponents and win when they run out of steam. Against control decks that usually happens when they start getting fatigue damage, that's where the deck got it's name.
Therefore the deck is full of removal and survival tools and of course Prince Malchezaar to increase the size of your deck.
Why Brann Bronzebeard and Coldlight Oracle?
For those who never played a fatigue deck before, I will explain why Brann Bronzebeard and Coldlight Oracle are cards that fit into this list. Against other control decks you are heavily favored with that combo because you try to burn some cards of your opponent and push them into fatigue damage. In control mirror matches there will occur a stage of the game where both players don't want to play more cards and their hands start to fill. You wait for that situation and when your opponent has like 8-9 cards in his hand you will drop your combo:
2x Coldlight Oracle = 4 cards
Brann Bronzebeard + Coldlight Oracle = 4 cards
Brann Bronzebeard + 2x Coldlight Oracle = 8 cards
Thereby you can push both you and your opponent faster to fatigue and just burn some of his resources. On top of that there is even the chance of burning a key card of your opponent's deck like C'Thun, N'Zoth, the Corruptor, Malygos or Anyfin Can Happen.

That's it for now, thank you for reading the short guide. If you have any questions just ask in the comments below. You can support me by following me on Twitter:
What do you think about The Curator in this deck?
What about current meta, full of Shamans and Hunters. Overwise that these matchups are bad, a lot of streamers are playing fatigue Warrior.
Do you have any tips or suggestions?
Where is Violet Illusionist? It makes fatiguing much more favorable for you, since so long as it's in play, you don't take damage from fatiguing.
I use a Violet Illusionist, 2xColdlight Oracle, Brann Bronzebeard combo, with a Thaurissan tick on at least 3/4 of them. That way, right before I'm about to die, I play the combo and draw my opponent all 8 cards at once. Does way more damage, way more effectively, than just trying to outlast your opponent conventionally, because you can do it while you're already fatiguing.
Nice deck, I made some change to it and feel like its doing well.
+Yogg: with so many spells, he provides a lot of value.
+blood warriors x1 and whirlwind x1, -Brann, -Barron Geddon
+ 2 Azure Drakes: improves removals and more card draw, also synergies well with whirlwind
+Malkorok, -Gorehowl: I don't have a gorehowl
Looks like you took out the Coldlights. I kept them in and get a copy of one through whirlwind/ravaging goul>blood brothers.
Looks fun but a deck that's very weak against Dragon Warrior, Midrange Hunter and Token Druid... That's 80% of the current ladder decks. :/
Just played someone using this deck and completely destroyed them using Anyfin Paladin w/ Curator. Was totally confused when I saw the Coldlight Oracle and Prince Malchezaar so decided to search it out and see what it was and here it is :D
I like the concept of this deck though! Wish you luck in further refining it! Oh also on further note I noticed that Regiskillbin also has a similar deck type and uses Yogg in it since it has so many removal spells. May consider adding it to your list as a last ditch effort?
I didn't have much trouble baiting out whomever I played to my advantage. I'm running a version of Anyfin with Murlocs, Beasts, and Dragons with The Curator. The big minions are susceptible to Humility or Aldor Peacekeeper / Stampeding Kodo combo's. Doomsayers to stall out until I have my combo or right before Tirion Fordring or Ragnaros, Lightlord. Though before I knew what the deck was he milled my Lightlord lol... thankfully I had Ivory Knights and Forbidden Healing still. I did get a Coldlight Oracle in my Anyfins but it didn't matter by that time because he wasn't able to deal with them. All his removal and minions were baited out and dead :D
I'm probably going to try this later on. I would probably remove the Gorehowl for the Yogg since you already have Gromm.
Have you considered replacing Shield Blocks with Ironforged Portals? It seems possible that forgoing card draw for a minion might work rather well with Coldlights.
GREAT deck m8 ive been waiting for something like this for a very long time however one question springs to mind when looking at a list with 14 spells why no yogg and if u were to cut something for it what would it be
Edit : cut bran for bgh and it works much much better what i found out is that bran was basicly useless the murlocs are usualy enough to burn 1-2 cards and get him faster in fatigue if control whlist bgh is just better vs nowadays aggro shaman u have to be ready for 4mana77 , i was struggling to draw execs when i really needed them and yeah bgh really works out for me
I miss the days of old. Fatigue Warrior was so much fun back in the day with Iron Juggernaut
Not very good, sadly. That Brann and those coldlight oracles take up valuable spots that could otherwise help you against control. Not to mention, they also help aggro decks. As it is, this deck loses both by aggro and control.
I though of building a similar deck last night after the last wing was released. I might just give it a try since I have all cards for this one anyway. How did your matches went so far? Especially vs Aggro.
What about Gorehowl. I have 1.6k dust for now. I just want save it for a Legendary craft :)
