Hello guys, as you can see Warrior is my favorite class! I think that warrior is underwhelming atm and has fallen behind in this meta. I haven't played warrior in this season and I am wondering what kind of Warrior decks you are using in this season and the rank that you achieved with this deck.
What are your thoughts, will warrior be better with the new cards compared to the matchups in ladder now? How can they help and what can you possible remove to add them!
Sylvanas isn't needed in warrior this meta in my opinion.I have been legend every season including this one and it has been done with warrior only.I run a argent commander instead of sylvanas
I've been running a control warrior lately, since zoo is so rampant. Its the pretty standard one, with the exceptions: I run a Cleave, a Wild Pyromancer and double Stampeding Kodo.
The cleave and pyro are great against zoo and the Kodos are FANTASTIC against the new naxx cards. "Oh you dropped Maexxna and I've already used both executes? WELL TO BAD!"
I disagress snootzh,I had a fairly easy time getting to legend with control warrior.I have a really good win % vs zoo and shamans.The only m/u that give me a hard time is druid with dbl fon+roar due to warriors not being able to counter all the burst that type of druid can do.You do really well vs token druid and miracle.
I think it does pretty well, I hit rank 12 last night after a run of 6 wins. I do really well versus most decks (yes, including zoo) but fall short to heavy heal/control priests.
I swapped out a few cards to better suite my play style along with some experimentation here and there when I'm feeling in to it, or don't have wife aggro. The ones off the top of my head are, swapping out the Faceless and one Execute for an Owl and and Inner Rage.
Edit: I also removed Alexstrasza as I'm not a huge fan of it with this match up. I found that I have my opponent down below 15 before I can play her. That extra slot is more or less my experiment slot, so I swap a few out to see how they do.
Oh yes control warrior is still viable. The way I look at it is that with the Nax release every deck will become faster in some way; so for control builds you will have to bring down the curve a little to handle the speed. I would also look at maybe adding in a few tech cards to handle different situation since we will likely see control warrior running less super late game cards.

Exactly. I dont see how people can say that zoo is favored in control warrior vs zoo. You have SO much removal as a warrior.
Last season I climbed from rank 5 to rank 2 with control warrior and a zoo was pretty much always an easy win. They needed to be really lucky with their draws to have a chance.

Hey can you post your deck?
I hit legend season 2 and 3 with control warrior, I had good games vs zoo and shaman. Druid and miracle was hard for me during these seasons.. I just had no clue for season 4 because i hadn't played any warrior at all. I was waiting for Death's Bite to start playing again!
Do you think that Unstable Ghoul is a good card vs zoo and aggro decks? What can be removed for it? I was thinking of replacing a Slam or a cleave for this card or even maybe an Armosmith. I think that Death's Bite will be great in control warrior, Maybe running two of them, instead of Gorehowl and something else.
Is any of the new legendaries a good card for Warrior?
I don't know what it's going to do on the upper end, but on the lower end I think it's going to help people get into Control Warrior. Now that I have Maexxna, I finally have enough mid-to-late game legendaries to build a control warrior. I've only run the deck a few times, but it is much more reliable than my rush warrior decks.
With the addition of Loatheb, Feugen, Stalagg, and Kel'Thuzad people with even fewer pack-legendaries will be able to give the archetype a shot.
Not true at all.. Im not saying a control priest. cabal is often switched out in amaz priest deck if facing heavy control so...
He switches it out because Mind Control is really good against control and really bad against fast paced decks. What top decks right now are control based?
Exactly what I said. And no matter how you look at it most druid decks are control. Yes token wins with FON SR combo but for the most part druid decks "control" Warrior controls, Freeze mage controls, Handlock controls. sparks pyromancer hunter control deck does.. Are these all top decks .. no zoo is over running everything. However once you get up to rank 6 and under you get alot of handlock. I see your point. But my point is still valid. Amaz priest deck is viable. With cabal or trading it for mind control.

I would suggest giving this a try. You may think no armor smiths wtf? But it works and its pretty fun. http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/72351-black-and-blue

I'm using a modified version of this deck:
I swapped out a few cards to better suite my play style along with some experimentation here and there when I'm feeling in to it, or don't have wife aggro. The ones off the top of my head are, swapping out the Faceless and one Execute for an Owl and and Inner Rage.

Priest with mind control can easily get the upper hand vs control warrior.
Priest with mind control also loses to everything else.
