Hello guys, Swapme here from Oslo Lions!
Made this taunt warrior just to join the hype, but I felt that it was strong enough to reach legend! Turns out I was right, so here you go guys, Swapme's Legendary Super Warrior!
Important!
If you face Quest Rogue it is important to look for Dirty Rat and use it to kill their quest minion, usualy around turn 2-4 to slow down the ramp.
Against aggro decks you do not want to use the weapon as soon as you proc the quest, as you need all the extra life you can get with your armor!
Against aggro shaman/druid, u need to learn when to clean the board, and if the shaman is tryharding for quest, It is better to wait while they do it, and only after they have emptied their hand u can clean wth brawl or Whirlwind and Sleep with the Fishes
Against freezemage you want to armor up allmost every turn starting turn 2. They do not play much for board.. and let's face it, the taunts will keep them in check!
Since people are wondering, The Curator is pretty essential in this deckbuild, due to the curve and draws for new taunts! And as I said in the comment below, the replacement for Deathwing can be a 2nd Dirty Rat / Primordial Drake (I would pick Drake, but all viable..) / Sleep with the Fishes , the replacement for The Curator have to be Acolyte of Pain for draws!
Proof of rank:
If you like the deck, I am streaming allmost every day @ https://www.twitch.tv/swapmetv
Would be epic if you stopped by for potential follow and chat about
the deck if you have any questions!
I am sorry to say that this deck is auto-loss against Quest Rogue.
I am sorry to hear you say that, personally I find that statement to be wrong, maby you have had some bad luck against rogues. Quest is allways heard to beat, but it is faar from an autoloss each time you face a quest rogue.
I havent tried this version, I play the taunt warr deck on hearthpwn called the faster version but I see u run 2 shield slams, do u find it to be too slow vs agro and do u find tht u gain armor too slow? cuz u only run 1 shield block and if u dont draw it, then it means u need to hero power often and imo taunt warr vs the meta top tiers needs to place lots of taunts for tempo. edit: I see u run alley armorsmith which is good armor gain but it's turn 5 o.o
Hello Zorho!
First of all thank you for the comment! One of the reasons I personally use 2x Shield Slam is because i find it helpfull in the mirror matchup and against lategame. When I made the deck there where people playing taunt warrior all over, and I just decided to stick with it after that. Against really agressive decks, you could replace it for annother Sleep with the Fishes / Whirlwind or even Acolyte of Pain, they are all viable.
This deck did the trick for me this season down to legend atleast, but there are so many options to what you can do with it, you just have to "feel" the meta and go from there :)
Replacements for The Curator and Deathwing?
Hello! The Curator is pretty essential in this deckbuild, due to the curve and draws for new taunts! And as I said in the comment below, the replacement for Deathwing can be a 2nd Dirty Rat / Primordial Drake / Sleep with the Fishes , the replacement for The Curator have to be Acolyte of Pain for draws!
Thanks for answer Swapme! But what would be better, second Sleep with the Fishes or Primordial Drake? I don't like the idea of second Dirty Rat in here.
Then I would pick Primordial Drake :)
Thanks again :)
Anytime!
Hello Vanoshh!
You could replace deathwing with another Sleep with the Fishes / Primordial Drake / Dirty Ratand see how it goes!
Reason Deathwing is so good is the last surprise that clears board in the end of game, and is really awkward for people to deal with in really late stages of the match!
tried your deck recently. Got from 5 to 4 with no losses! :)
That is awsome dude! keep at it!
great deck!
