Tier prediction: Tier 1! (Or very high Tier 2)
WE DID IT! FRONT PAGE! Thanks for all the support and comments guys! I'll continue to update regularly and get the videos out ASAP.
My first few games in ranked (Up to rank 14, will continue to update. Still haven't had too much time.)
Warrior gaining some excellent control cards this expansion, and even with the lack of 1 and 6 drops I believe this list will hold up with the best. REMEMBER TO TECH FOR YOUR META! SUB/TECH SECTION BELOW!
Other people have made vids as well so check them out below especially if you're looking for more professional players.
As usual more up votes, more detail AND VIDS!
Up votes:
10: Full mulligan guide and my pilot video
25: Tech choices/substitutions vs. current meta (will update over the next couple weeks due to meta development)
50: 'Most' meta match up videos w/ detailed play style explanations (vids coming soon, multiple rolling out during the next couple weeks)
Mulligan Guide:
For now the mulligan will be the same for all classes until we have an established meta, then it will get updated.
Keep: Armorsmith, Fiery War Axe, Tar Creeper, Acolyte of Pain, Frothing Berserker, Ravaging Ghoul. If you have a good 3 drop feel free to mulligan the others unless it's specific synergy like Frothing Berserker and Ravaging Ghoul. Keep Forge of Souls if you don't have a Fiery War Axe.
General Subs/Tech:
Aggro Heavy Meta: -1x Bonemare +1x Tar Creeper
-1x Execute +1x Slam
-1xAlexstrasza +1x Armorsmith
Control Heavy Meta: -1x Acolyte of Pain +1x Elise the Trailblazer
Jade/Priest Heavy Match Ups: -1x Slam +1x Skulking Geist
Additional pwners spotlights:
Comments/questions welcomed and answered below
Thank you very much, my friend!
All of 2016's sets rotate out at the same time. As soon as the first set of 2018 is released, the others are going to wild.
Your deak great can make many version / for fatuige mirror match-up x1Elise the Trailblazer x1Rotface and Dead Man's Hand if want game a bit longer if you use 2 sometime it make your deadhand like card name :P / yeah you has Frothing Berserker but Alexstrasza didnt help too much on mirror match-up or warlock with Defile it useful only sometime it control deck not combo deck
As much as I love warrior this deck doesn´t seem outstanding.
It´s not horrible it´s just not great. Unlike previous control warrior decks, this one focuss too much on utility with not much to use it on.
The DK mostly goes with Frothing, but if frothing dies, you lose 1 of basicly 2 win conditions. You wont always be able to get your opponent down to 10 health to kill them with gromm, specially with all the taunts paladins have, all the ehaling warloc/druid k can do. Heck, even priests would outvalue it.
The deck needs to make room for beat sticks, otherwise it wont last.
I am pretty certain this deck would overrung an aggro meta should there be one.
At the moment this deck just is not amazing.
I fully agree with everything here
I see a lot of potential with this deck. Have you subbed in Rotface? Also, don't underestimateForge of Souls.. 2 of them in the deck might be worth it.
Rotface in this would be tits!
I just got a Rotface from a Rotface and from those the Lich King and Nozdormu, all in 1 round. GG
I think people are putting way too much value into Rotface. I'm not saying his ability can't be game-changing or fun, but I don't see it as a serious card. In my opinion, it's a directly worse version of Confessor Paletress, and she saw next to no constructed play when she was in rotation.
I could be wrong, and if you can get activators, he can be potentially okay in Arena. My gut tells me his best use will be "Playing Rotface in 2017 LUL"
After playing a LOT of games with this deck, I just don't think it's viable. It runs out of steam too easily, especially against these control-heavy Paladins, Priests and Mages. I've written about this in a couple other comments in here. Even when subbing in Alexstrasza, it's just not enough. Maybe if I had Rotface, but I'm reading from other people that he's better in a totally different deck altogether...
What's crazy is that I don't know how this deck can get much more sustain that it already has... It's a friggin' Control Warrior, ya know? Has the meta beefed up so much that Warriors can't play the outlast game anymore? Against Priests, sure... But the rest? The games I'm losing to all these control decks; it's like, I can tell halfway through the match that there's nothing I'm going to be able to do to win... It's that bad.
Even though there are new cards in this deck, it feels like we're trying to play an outdated version of Warrior against shiner, newer strategies. That's the problem, I think... This deck works fine against the older, more established decks, but that's not what everyone else is running right now. It's the wrong type of deck for this "mini-meta" or whatever. I'd be interested to know if all the people claiming huge win-rates are really getting matched up against control.
This is exactly my experience. This deck deck gets outvalued and has no win condition. The deck builder implemented Garrosh for this reason now i see, but i don't think it's enough. No way this is Tier 1 or high Tier 2. Maybe Tier 3 in the current meta with all those Druids.
@comosicus111
Hard to beat mages if they know, how to play this match up. Armor up, try to get value from Alley Armorsmith and try to make a big Armorsmith /Whirlwind turn and/or try to play aggressive. But i think, it's 30:70 vs mages.
It's hard for a control Mage to beat a control Warrior? Since when?
Exodia Mage I can see, because you'll never out armor their finisher turn in this deck. It might be difficult to beat a DK Mage as well, if such a deck exists (i havent seen one). But if played properly (i.e. don't drop DK until absolutely necessary [if ever], don't draw more than you have to, Armor Up as much as possible, play one threat at a time so you don't lose 3 finishers to 1 Doomsayer+Frost Nova or Flamestrike), the match should always be in your favor.
You can outheal any potential Freeze Mage type finishers, and even if you don't have the juice to get through 2x Ice Block, you should be able to win the fatigue game, since they will be thinning their deck with Arcanologist and such. You can also punish them for playing Acolyte of Pain with all of the (non-Death-Knight-hero-power) Whirlwind effects. Oh, and guess what Ice Block doesn't protect you from...
It is pretty important to have a finisher in this meta.
How the hell do you win versus control priest with DK?
Don't play DK @ 8 mana.
0-3 at rank 10, wow.
Update: 0-4, final game was losing to QUEST MAGE in casual. Deck doesn't work.
