I can't chose wich one to include in my decks, but here are my ideas so far : - Since Tempo and Taunt run Varian Wrynn, it's better to avoid Battlecry minions (so Dr. Boom and Malkorok). - Gorehowl is good in long games, so my Control and Taunt can benefit the most from it. - Dr. Boom is still OP and should be in every deck. Plus it works pretty well with Whirlwind effects. - Malkorok is fun but a bit weak, dunno where to put him.
Standard/Wild: Malkorok is best for tempo (except dr. lel), because it generally provides a lot of stats for 7 mana, and allows you to get ahead of your opponent. Heck you have a 3 or 4 out of 16 chance to just win the game from a big weapon, similar to how unstable portal worked in the day for tempo mage. The battlecry doesn't matter that much in tempo warrior, since your goal playing Varian Wrynn is to get way ahead on board- enough to hopefully end the game. It can also be used in control warrior for a high value 7 drop if you aren't as fatigue oriented.
Gorehowl is really good for control in standard. Allows you to deal with a lot of threats. Maybe a bit slow in wild though, idk what the meta is there.
Baron Geddon: Probably the best for control warrior. The ability to simultaneously clear a board and develop a threat is really important for the control warrior archetype.
Hellos pals.
I'm currently running 3 Warrior lists : Tempo Warrior, Control Warrior and Taunt Warrior.
I have the same dilemma for the 3 decks : what to play as a 7-drop ?
There are several choices : Malkorok, Baron Geddon, Gorehowl, and since I play Wild, Dr. Boom.

Do you guys have different opinions ?
Wild: Dr. Boom always wins. lol.

Thanks for this reply. That makes sense, for now it's exactly what I've done :
- Dr. Boom in Tempo Warrior
- Gorehowl and Baron Geddon in Control Warrior
- Gorehowl in my Taunt Warrior ... not sure about this one
- Malkorok collecting dust
When mallorok gave me a cursed blade that day.. Feelbadman
I run Malkorok and Gorehowl.
