Just piloted this list to rank 1 legend on NA. I encountered a lot of rogue and zoo with some pirate warrior here and there. This list does great against all of that.
Vs Rogue
Keep the quest, you want to look for dirty rat to disrupt their quest plans mainly. Remove all the creatures that they are trying to combo/quest with.
Vs Warlock
Mulligan the quest, you will never complete it by the time you win anyways. I would look for war axe and aoe (whirlwind and ghoul) and tar creeper. Just clear the board when you can via brawl and sleep with the fishes and it should be an easy game.
Vs Warrior
This was a bit trickier. If it's a warrior you are playing for the first time I would keep the quest just in case its a mirror match. If you know they are pirate warrior then mull it. Look for early anti aggro tools: war axe, ghoul or ww, tar creeper and sleep with the fishes if you have an aoe already otherwise dont keep it. I think we all know their gameplan by now. Kill their pirates to stop their upgrades. I originally had oozes instead of sleep with the fishes, it was okay but dead in too many other matchups. I found that removing their creatures was much more beneficial even if they had an upgraded weapon because I was able to just throw out taunts to eat the charges up until they ran out of steam. It's a close matchup and many games I would stabilize under 10 life.
Vs Shaman
Keep the quest, shaman is pretty slow and you pretty much play like you do against zoo but slower. Clear the board efficiently and eventually they run out of steam and thats about the time you complete the quest as well.
Vs Mage
I only encountered the infinite fireball combo mage. Keep the quest and look for dirty rat to destroy their combo.
Vs Hunter
This was actually the hardest matchup but I did not encounter any in legend. I would mull the quest because its very important to remove all the weenies they are dropping. Stampeding Kodo destroys this deck. Also if they adapt a token and get poisonous its pretty bad. That's what happens if they high roll you but most of the time youll be okay. You play similarly as the rogue matchup.
I didnt see any druids or paladins except for 1 jade druid who got destroyed by fireballs.
WoW all these saying taunt Q war is all that, i just beat 3 of these in standard with a freaking inkeepers deck, Hence why i'm here looking it up, seems junk i would rerole my old buffing taunt paladin and i bet it would be the same.. My only thought to this is i landed myself x3 freshspawns just trying to figure the deck out. Or is this genuinely a deck that needs that 1 card before its all that usfull.??
Wow! I just put up the deck together and started a game. I have played Fire Plume's Heart
The opponent insta conceded. Now that is a nice 1st time impression of the deck for me LOL
Any suggestions for Dirty Rat subs until I save up the dust? Lot's of evolve shamans today too.
Q: Isn't 9 taunts a bit low? Or this is usual for q war
There are 13 taunt minions. You must not have counted doubles.
One can also argue there are 15, since the Direhorn Hatchlings shuffle the Direhorn Matriarchs into your deck.
Ye...thanks.
Donno wtf i Counted the first time :))
Need like 1k more dust to make it...and dont have what to De. :(
I just beat a Quest Rogue that had completed the quest on the THIRD turn. Nothing more to add.
Does Elise the trailblazer is good in this deck ?
I have 22/30 cards for this deck. I am missing the quest, 2 sleep with the fishes, 2 brawls, 2 dirty rats, and the curator. Does anyone know any fast ways to get dust? I know that i can buy packs to try and get the quest, plus some of the cards, but any ways without spending a lot of money?
Tavern brawl, reroll quests for 50+ instead of taking 40s, arena if you can learn it. In the long run, don't disenchant extra copies of cards that are likely to get nefed and you can get a full refund on all of them later. Buying Karazhan is relatively cheap and you could dust the remaining legendaries and epics to get the other cards
thank, i made the stupid mistake of disenchanting a couple cards that could possibly be nerfed but oh well
3 weeks late reply but gonna do it anyway xD
First of all, you can try cheaper version of the deck, without sleep with the fishes, dirty rats, curator.

Secondly, if you want (or plan) to play Warrior at all in the future, Brawl is a must have (except for those pirate scumbag decks) since it's one of the best board clear cards (if not the best).
Im going to play in an tournament soon, so do you guys recommend this deck to play in there?
Or is there a better option because I already have miracle rogue, elemental shaman and a control paladin.
And you need only 4 decks in the tournament.
Alright I'll play this deck then.
Thanks and i will tell you how I did after the tournament :D. It's my first one so hope i get some good matches.
Is sleep with the fishes necessary? I understand that it disrupts aggro, but wouldn't taunt do that already. Is there a better replacement for it?
I would say Wrathion for also being a medium sized taunt that draws cards, but thats really stretching it, you want the curator.
Dude, excellent deck. Just swapped out Acolyte of Pain with Stonehill Defender and I'm 8-0 with this deck so far. I might wanna make a version with King Mosh in it too.
Did you swap out both Acolyte of pain with stonehill defender or just 1?
Personally, that was the first thing I thought about when I read the list. Glad other people are benefiting from that particular change.
