Hello there!
Before I start, I would like to say that this is my first time posting up a deck that I favour. So, if the post/thread seems messy/ugly/disappointing, I'm sorry.
Anyways, my name is Bob (literally) and I'm currently playing in Hearthstone (America) server. Ever since the latest meta consisting of legendary control warriors/mages alongside miracle/malygos rogues and ramp druids came into play, I've been behind for quite some time. This is because I'm a F2P player and I don't invest money into the game [I'm sorry, Blizzard. Please don't kick me out :( ]
As I was browsing through my collection, I decided to go back to one of my favourites, which so happens to be Aggro Warrior. Surprisingly, I find this deck to be very consistent, with one loss after every 5 to 6 wins [only losing to Priests that have amazing starts]. The best part about this deck is; every single minion here is either a basic minion or craftable for a cheap price. This deck managed to get me to rank 10 without worrying much, even beating zoo-locks that run legendaries like Leeroy Jenkins
As far as I know, nobody expects the finishing blow from Nightblade [yes, I'm looking at you, Ice Block]. At times, that extra 3 damage is key to winning the game. After all, you're looking to smash faces and end before the games goes wild with 10 mana.
My friends often ask me, "Why not get Leeroy Jenkins to replace that Wolfrider?" Well, if I could save that much arcane dust for a Leeroy, I would. Unfortunately, I tend to keep my cards and not burn EVERY SINGLE CARD just to complete a deck.
Not only that, people question me about the decks' originality. I know that this deck seems to be VERY similar, if not EXACTLY, to the decks promoted by pro players. Well, if you want to ignore this F2P deck and go for the pro decks, be my guest. As far as I know, Aggro Warrior is a one-trick pony. Hence, most of the cards will be the same no matter what, such as Fiery War Axe and Kor'kron Elite.
During mulligan phase:
Look for options such as Fiery War Axe, Faerie Dragon, etc. that can cause havoc during the early phase as that's when you look to control the board and tempo. Replace obvious cards such as Arcanite Reaper and Faceless Manipulator [they'll come in handy, but not at the 1 to 3 mana phase]
During the early-game (1 to 3 mana) phase:
Motto of Aggro Warrior: TO THE FACE!!
Face, face and more face should be the priority of this deck. Unless, there's a VERY favourable trade on the board that will minimally affect your tempo/face damage to the opponent. Then, make that trade and continue going for the FACE.
During the mid-game (4 to 6 mana) phase:
By this time, you should be in your most comfortable seat [I hope it's the drivers' seat] because this is when you will be ending the game.
During the late-game (7+ mana onwards) phase:
Sometimes, things always don't go as planned and we end up here. Your tempo will slow down, if not completely stopped, and the game might swing in the opponents' favour. It doesn't matter though. More mana means more minions/weapons to play. Just play it through and hope for a smooth charge + weapon kill.
To conclude, there are many ways to take down the opponents using this deck. Although it's a one-trick pony deck, be creative in how you make trades, decide tempo and ultimately winning the game. I will you all best of luck should you decide to try this deck. It worked for me, so I hope that it works for you too :D Thank you for reading.
P.S. Please advice on ways to make my future posts more creative, should I ever create another post. I'm new to this website.
EDIT(S):
Added Battle Rage X2 and dropped Faceless Manipulator and Wolfrider for more draw power.
Replaced Worgen Infiltrator with Sludge Belcher to deal with the midgame crisis since Naxxramas promoted more Zoolock and Mid-range Warlock
Replaced Faerie Dragon with Death's Bite to keep Garrosh steamrolling, like the man he is.
Let me know how did these edits work out for you in the comments below.
been playing with southsea deckhand instead of argent squire, seems more consistent
I'm not a fan of warrior, so i tried your deck and it's quite funny.
I just lose every time i encounter Kel'Thuzad + any taunt card
Awesome deck! Its really fun and I have a atleast 4 -1 win ratio with it.
It is my first deck I get with arcane dust and I was rank 20, but climbed to rank 16 in no time my first day playing it.
Really Recommend it
A lot of popular decks are advertised "F2P" but in reality they're just cheap. Unfortunately its damn near impossible to make a great deck without any dust at all.
you don't need money to acquire dust, hence "free"
I have played this deck 4 time now and have not won a signal game. Don't think its me, because i have made it to rank 5 with other decks.
This deck is amazing! at i played 3 game with it i won 2 and lost 1
i lost to aggro hunter and won control shaman and priest so overall this deck is pretty awesome :3
Good replacement for 2 worgen infiltrator? , 2 arathi weaponsmith? Scarlet crusader or harvest golem instead of frothing berserker? (becuase i dont got it)
seems like a solid warrior decklist! any VODs showcasing this?
Don't have frothing beserker any suggestions what to put instead? Im doing harvest golem right now cause that seemed like a safe choice
Played against a deck similar to this and it was very frustrating. Trying it out now!
It definitely needs some card draw to keep you going. I'm having trouble finishing priest off because of this.
How do you feel about Battle Rage?
I put in 2x Battle Rage and I really like it. Having a damaged minion and your hero damaged means it's a 2 card draw with the possibility for more. I also made some other changes of my own preference. Went from R14 to R11 tonight pretty easily once I really made the deck my own. It does really well against zoo! 75% win rate from tonight which was 13 matches.
A strong deck i guess, won against both gold warlock and druid. Put in 2x Knife Jugglers, Captain Greenskin. Needs card draw, thinking of Loot Horder/ Slam or even coldlight.
I put 1 Mortal strike in to get over taunts, considering crafting a second mortal strike as when your below 12 hp it's a fireball.
This deck can even compete with zoolock easily i feel if you get your fiery war axes early.
I found that out as well. Zoo gets rolled by the amount of weapons. A buffed [card]Bloodsail Raider[/card] can really seem to hit hard against them unless they use a Soulfire. I put in a Brawl to deal with messy boards and huge taunts, although it does involve some RNG.
