So if you guys played Blackrock Mountain, you would know that Chromaggus was a card and was used quite a lot. I wasn't playing Hearthstone at the time as I joined in May 2016 (Whispers of the Old Gods). But personally, I feel like the card is very underrated in certain decks that require some amount of card draw. So I was wondering if Chromaggus would work on a Control Warrior that includes N'Zoth into it. Opinions? :D
Not really. I believe Nefarian is the better value dragon from that adventure, and with cards like Deathwing, Dragonlord revealed afterwards, he is just outclassed.
He is a 6-8 for 8 do nothing dragon too much of the time.
Too slow for wild, and will get removed before you get any value. Best case it lives 1 turn and it becomes an 8 mana 6/8 that "draws" you 1 card. If you're in a situation where he's living multiple turns, you would have been better off with any other legendary such as Rag or Ysera.

This, more or less.
Dane Hearthstone is a wild streamer who regularly posts highlight videos on his YT channel - he often runs Chromaggus in a number of his decks, and regularly achieves fairly high-level legend finishes with some very original home-brews. You can sometimes get around the "vanilla 8-mana do nothing" problem with a bit of planning - reducing the cost of your hand with Thaurissan and immediately drawing cards off of Chromaggus the turn you play him. He had a good deal of success with the card in Reno Fatigue Warrior - gaining extra copies of two or three key cards the turn Chromaggus was played. The extra card draw also played into better Golden Monkeys. But that was about a year ago - current builds of Fatigue Warrior seem better off with Dead Man's Hand and Coldlight Oracles, though that shouldn't discourage the OP from experimenting on ladder.
Thank you guys for your opinions! I felt like it would be a good option, but I think I got a little overhyped xD. Also, I don't think I know what Chromaggus could replace since I have Curator in the deck.
Chromaggus is too slow: you cast it then have to trigger it immediatly because probably won't last a single turn on the board (and if it does then you've probably won already anyway). As other have stated already, there are far better option for a Control Warrior.

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
There are stronger options. He is weak because you may not be able to proc his effect even once. All legendaries without an immediate effect are somewhat weak. If you play him and then draw you get some extra cards. Once in 50 games it will effect the match.

It could work with Dead Man's Hand, as anything works with Dead Man's Hand, eventually a chrommagus will stick on the board and generate value, but you don't want more dead man's hands..
Unfortunately as others said it's often a worse ragnaros/whatever, my golden Chromaggus is just sitting in my collection for years, I haven't found a single deck where this card isn't suboptimal and that's really sad, chromaggus has no niche.
eh, possibly, but that might be budget (I guess, don't have DMH yet...)
In CW? No. Where Chromaggus works at all is in decks where you can drop him and draw in the same turn, so something like Control Priest or Micrange dragon paladin - even then, you don't have too many combos. Nef guarantees two cards, Ysera/LK guarantee one card whilst ysera's harder to remove, Sneed's guarantees you a card. There's much better choices if you're not leveraging the dragon tag.
Budget? Sure! But not the top choice, IMO, unles you're looking at a dragon control warr, whilst most dragon warrs are faster builds.

I'm currently trying out Marin the Fox in the deck. That's a way better control option than most of the Blackrock Mountain "Control Type" cards right?
Try it with paladin. Warrior has better choices for 8 mana.
that could work. Why Paladin though? I know I'm missing Tirion and the 2 epic healing spells so I can't do Healadin, which I think is Control Paladin as well?
But personally, I feel like the card is very underrated in certain decks that require some amount of card draw.
I think everyone else has already covered it, but I'm bolding the important part. Chromaggus is a good card, but it is not card draw. It's value, not draw.
EDIT: To clarify, draw digs you deeper into your deck, helps you find answers and combo pieces. Chromaggus does none of this.
Answer depends on "Do you have Skulking Geist and 2 copies of Dead Man's Hand?". As a control warrior, you will win against aggro 90% of the time, so how do you lose? If you don't have geist, you'll always lose to jade druid, no matter how many cards you have, if you have Dead Man's Hand, you can go infinite and fatigue your opponent - that's how you beat Razakus priest with deathknight most of the time. If you have geist, but don't have dead man's hand though, [card]Chromaggus[/card] is your best way to win through fatigue. It's also dragon, so Dragonfire Potion is useless.

Chromaggus was rarely used even when it was brand new.
