Intro
Hi at all,
I play Hearthstone since 1 year (4times legend) and this season my goal was to get legend with control warrior.
I would describe me as an average player who fell in love with Control Warrior since one month. I played ca. 400 games with N'Zoth CW and done this very poorly with a win-rate of ca. 50%.
So I nearly was giving up until I watched some games of AKAWonder who was playing this list. Its perfect for this aggressive Meta (wich I hate since ever). It destroys shaman, mage and druid and even against hunter you have a little bit under 50%.
I played this deck very focused from rank 6-Legend within 4 days (2-3 hours a day). I hate deck-lists on hearthpwn without proof, so you can find my stats of track-o-bot attached.
Legend
Tips to hit Legend
1. Play ONLY one deck!
2. Build the knowledge of the Tier1/2 decks and counter them. Copy the decklist from the actual Meta Report and put it on your desktop, to have a look in every game.
3. Rethink every turn, what could your opponent play the next 1-2 turns.
4. Use a tracker (for example track-o-bot) to find leaks in your games.
5. At rank 5, the game begin. Play ONLY Hearthstone, without distraction from twitch or other sites on the internet. You have to take every game 100% serious.
6. Make a pause of 1-2 Min after every game to stay focused.
7. If you are on a loosing streak of 3 games, stop playing. It will affect your A-Game and you will do bad plays no matter what.
Win Percentage from Rank 6-->Legend
Mulligan
DRUID Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Justicar Trueheart (Malygos), Acolyte of Pain
HUNTER Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Blood to Ichor
MAGE Fiery War Axe, Slam, Bash
PALADIN Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Acolyte of Pain
PRIEST Fiery War Axe, Acolyte of Pain, Justicar Trueheart
ROGUE Fiery War Axe, Execute, Slam, Bash
SHAMAN Fiery War Axe, Blood to Ichor, Ravaging Ghoul, Brawl
WARLOCK Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Brawl, Slam
WARRIOR Fiery War Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Justicar Trueheart (Control), Blood to Ichor (Dragon)
Gameplan
Malygos / Token Druid (We are favorit)
- Keep Justicar and Acolyte because you will have the time to heal/draw
- Keep track of your health (you need to stay over the Malygos combo (2x Moonfire, 2x Living Roots, 26dmg)
- Use your Yogg after they played their Yogg (or keep Brawl)
- Keep Removals for 2x Arcane Giant
- Use Revenge with Acolyte and execute an Arcane Giant to draw and kill
- Keep Execute/Shild Slam for Malygos because of Swipes the next turn
- Outheal him with your Hero Power and Justicar
Tempo Mage (We are favorit)
- Its more of an control matchup nowadays because of cabalist tome & Archmage
- Its going to fatigue very often
- keep Slam/ Fiery War Axe to remove Mana Wyrm & Scorers Apprentice
- First remove Scorers Apprentice over Spell Damage Minions because you delay card drawing turns or cabalist tome / They need the spell Damage for board control only and we have no board :)
- Kill Flamewaker as fast as possible!
- Keep Removal for Thaurissan & Archmage
- Removals on small minions are fine
- Play your Yogg after they played Yogg (or keep Brawl)
- Keep track of their used fireballs/frostbolts so you cant be killed in 1 turn
- Outheal them with Justicar and your hero power
Midrange Shaman (We are favorit)
- Keep fiery war axe and ghoul to kill totem golem on turn 3 (hit turn 2 / ghoul turn 3)
- Blood to Ichor on Tunnel Trog & Argent Squire is golden
- Keep removals for Thunder Bluff Variant (this card is deciding games)
- Don't be afraid to fall under 12hp to use revenge as board clear because most midrange shamans don't run bloodlust/Doomhammer/etc. to burst you down
- Use Shield Block/Portals after falling under 12hp sometimes (not turn 3) to heal you up
- Use Brawl when you have the most value on board (Attack of opponents minions bigger than 9)
- Yogg is 3 brawl and carddraw and very powerful in this matchup (Keycard)
- Use Yogg when you see the most value for him (like brawl)
- Yogg is good for Boardclear when he has at least 7-8 spells (Percentage wise)
- Sometimes think of Al'Akir + 2xRockbiter for 18dmg combo
- If you have coin, sometimes hold it to use Sylvanas/Coin/Brawl to have the board, because Sylvanas will get hexed like 100% of the times
Control Matchups (50% / 50%)
- Keep Justicar
- Never draw cards / never use Acolyte or Shield Block
- Never use Slam as Card Draw only as removal
- If you have the chance, kill opponents Sylvanas before you played Acolyte, so he gets Acolyte and you can draw him cards with Blood to Ichor etc.
- It always goes to fatigue so Drawn Cards & Armor are the Key to success
- RNG is a big thing in these matchups, because early Justicar and early/good Monkey are Key
- Never play golden monkey before N'zoth of your opponent only if you have Monkey very early
- Try to bait out opponents N'zoth than clear with brawl --> than play your monkey
- Use removals for big minions with the most value
- Play Sylvanas and Shield Slam your own Sylvanas to steal Big Deathrattle Minions to make opponents N'zoth weaker
Midrange Hunter (We have to fight)
- Hard mulligan for fiery war axe!
- Remove every minion the best you can beginning turn 2
- Don't hesitate to use Shield Slam, Execute on low minions
- Sometimes you have to fall unter 13hp to use revenge for board clear and armor up with shield block, Portal, hero power
- Try to play around savanna Highmane (Sylvanas--> Shield Slam Sylvanas)
- Try to play around Call of the wild (for example by having minions on board or revenge-->shield block, armor up)
- Sometimes hope that Yogg clears the board and give you some heal or traps.
- Accept the fact, that Face Hunter is a bad matchup for you :)
- I have a positive win percentage (over 60%) against Secret Hunters (Just don't activate the secrets and armor up)
Zoo Warlock (We are favorit)
- Keep Fiery Win Axe, Ravaging Ghoul, Brawl
- If you have Brawl you don't have to spent all of you removal on the first 1-4 turns
- Sometimes fall under 13hp, then revenge, then heal up with Shield Block, Portal, Hero Power
- Use Ravaging Ghouls for Board Clears (Forbidden Ritual is less popular right now)
- Don't be afraid on using removals on small minions but keep removals for Doomguard
- Kill Malchezaar's Imp to reduce card draw
- We have so many boardclears, that its very difficult for Zoolock to win
Feedback
KIUARTHUR (FIRST TIME LEGEND & his view on getting legend with this deck)
First of all i think the mulligan suggestions are just magically accurate. I strictly followed it and mulligan anything else away. It can be pretty self explanatory when u think about it as well. This deck has no real threats, but because of that it deals with every other decks exceptionally well, you can view this deck as the ultimate solution, the best thing is that you don't have to care wt deck is most popular or wt deck appears more currently (as that is always a gamble), instead you know that you always have a chance to win, and you can always find ur mistake (it is easy to find out that you should have saved the brawl, for example.)
The second best thing i got from this deck, is definitely the general tips, as a new player to ranked (i never tried hard before), I lack the motivation to stick on one deck, n those general tips really motivated me to do so, especially with a lot of detailed analysis on different matchups.
There are a few things that I would like to add, despite only being a first time legend. I think that in control matchups other than N'Zoth, it is important to monkey first, as we are running on low threats. By the time you get monkey u should almost always do it. And keep in mind that you do not want to place too much on board after monkey as your opponent should always have some kind of AOE clear, namely brawl. Instead, say you have 10 legends on hand (which is usually the case in control matchups), you want to think about the order to put them one by one, if your opponent don't have monkey yet they will just lose in a few rounds, as they can only have 2 shield slams and 2 executes at most. For example if you have ragnaros light lord u may want to keep it, as it can heal your other minions after your opponent's monkey.
Awesome deck! Can you please add here new cards to play against new meta? And also upldate guide, mulligans etc. I belive this deck still can beat legend.
Yogg is the win condintion
Yogg is for the situation when you 100% loose he can make a mircle
I finally reached legend thanks to this deck \o/
I just replaced:
- one Acolyte of Pain with Harrison Jones because a was facing A LOT of shamans, hunters and warriors
- Gorehowl with Fool's Bane because it's great to clean a board with small minions
Thanks a lot for your deck, loving it ;-)
It's hard to replace baron since he is a direct counter to shaman. Hellscream is a nice removal, burst and a big threat as well, Ragnaros can serve this purpose, but you have to pray to RNGesus. So yes, you can, it's not optimal, but its a good replacement.
Yogg-Saron, Hope's End replacement? I disenchanted mine and crafted Deathwing.
I'm thinking of adding Nexus-Champion Saraad, Ysera, Soggoth the Slitherer, Ragnaros the Firelord, or Harrison Jones.
That was a bad idea, Yogg-Saron is still really good. I guess you can go for Harrison or Soggoth
Tips to beating mid shaman because I am struggling hard, I am killing every single minion they play yet after I brawl, the board fills up so fast. What should I do?
This deck is amazing, although i did have to tech in a lot of cards to adapt to meta a bit more efficiently mainly due to the excess amounts of totem/midrange shaman and many types of druids:
REMOVED and ADDED:
- Elise Starseeker (too slow, not enough control match ups to be useful)
+1 Blood To Ichor (either an execute activator, or a card to reach those pesky 4 health minions *cough* totem golem *cough*)
-Baron Geddon (this deck has already enough board clears, also against hyper aggressive decks it clocks your life.)
+Acolyte of Pain (card draw is great, no other reason.)
-Harrison Jones (with 2nd acolyte this card is obsolete)
+ Ragnaros the Firelord (A great addition to any deck at this point, perfect for meta)
-2 Ironforge Portal (it's a great card but 4 mana minions can be very random and often bad, average 4 mana minon stats are 2-4!)
+ 2 Bloodhoof Brave (Although it does not grant the 4 armor it is much more reliable and fills in for the lack of taunts in this deck)
Not sure how you get that win % against shammy. As shammy I beat this deck 50% of time; as this deck I lose to shammy 60% of time and the ones I do win are total nail biters
This deck sucks, losing to everything
Parabéns pelo bom trabalho.
Gostei muito do deck, mas gostei muio mais das dicas que você escreveu. Vou me esforçar pra fazer da mesma forma.
Obrigado! :)
thank you your deck bring me to first time legent
Nice M8, how are you doing on legend?
What about "Curator Anyfin" and his two times Anyfin Can Happen also Forbidden Healing and this combo Equality+Wild Pyromancer? I always lose from that deck. Any contra-suggestions?
Mulligan for acolyte, justicar and war axe, nothing else
This may sound insane but replacing yogg with shifter zerus has done me well. It's probably not consistent enough in most cases but I usually am able to get value out of it after sitting on it for 3 or more turns. It is able to give you the upper hand in control matchups 90% of the time
you renounced from your fath of serving to Yogg. He will never again helps you in any situation ;)
any advice with the any fin paladins? These seem to be a sure fire loss...
It's pretty bad against it. I don't really see a way around it. Just hope you don't encounter it. it. it. it.
