After being stuck at rank 2 for the last couple of months using Control Shaman, I decided to give up on that deck and try out something that had me interested while watching the GM games last weekend, Bomb Warrior. This is the version I made, and won some games with in casual. Any suggestions before I try it in Ranked? I hope to finally get Legend so any kind of advice is appreciated =)
You probably want two Town crier. Weapons project is quite strong for answering early things against token, bomb hunter, zoo, mage, etc. It also allows burst armor for shield slams which can be clutch under pressure. Worth looking at a single copy.
I would definitely drop loot hoarder. Acolyte of Pain is just plain better, can often draw more than one card or just soak a weird trade because they want to deny you draw. Synergy with warpath and dynamatic in matchups where you need to cycle.
Alex is weird in the deck. I've seen successful players run it and I can understand the mentality behind it but i usually play the deck with chip damage in mind so I wouldn't run it personally.
Other than that it's pretty standard and looks on point. It's a fun deck to play. I went 18-3 with it to legend.
Archivist is really good for the other warrior matchups. I would run it over alex if you have it.
What do you do against an early giant? That is my main concern with this deck.
Some combo of shield slam, three drop trade in, militia commander You don't want to go 2-1 with things but if it is a giant against a mage it's more than worth it. It's a lot easier to get those early shield slams when you have weapons projects too.
Alexstrasza is to deal 15 damage in Control match-ups, similar to where people run Elysianna. But against Aggro she also heals my face. I like versatile cards. I had a second Town Crier, but with only 3 Rush minions it was often a dead card, I like the 1-3 ratio. When you run a second one you should also run Darius Crowly, but I don't have that card. Loot Hoarder is draw, it was Slam at first, but I like the body vs Aggro, Acolyte of Pain is much slower. And I also think 1 Brawl is enough, as this isn't a pure Control deck.

Is Elysianna needed? I tried out Grommash Hellscream as well before finally settling on Alextrasza.
UPDATE:
- 1x Omega Devestator / +1x Barista Lynchen.
Not sure what Alex is for. Also two brawls is probably better.

Always expect the unexpectable!

Archivist Elysiana isn't needed per se, I've seen plenty of more Tempo'ish Bomb Warriors with Cairne Bloodhoof, Grommash Hellscream, Seaforium Bomber, Rabid Worgen etc.
Bomb Warrior is solid enough to reach Legend, and your list seems fine. Good luck!

One is fine in my experience, but nothing wrong with two.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Wow. Have not seen that deck before. Is it new? Ow wait you changed 3 cards in the already overpowered warrior deck
you will get rekt by conjurer mages and almost every type of hunter deck
Since he's trying to get Legend, it's obvious to use a deck that is capable. No need to be mean!
In theory yes, but looking at the GM games, Bomb Warrior won vs Mage more often then not xd

If you ever wanna go more Control'ish, here's my version:

You are right. My apolgies for being a $#$%#. I was being salty after being gatekeepered at rank 1, 5* several times by warriors.
As for more constructive feedback, I like 2x town crier and a said above, 2x brawl is very good,
I opened Barista Lynchen today. I think it fits this deck right? I took out an Omega Devastator for her.
Yeah some greedier lists run her, similar to Jepetto Joybuzz.

Seaforium Bomber is also a good choice.
“Put your faith in the Light!”
I have seen some faster versions with Explodinators for early board presence and extra source of damage. Is this a meme or actually viable?
I have never seen Explodinator in Bomb Warrior before haha, but it could work in faster version I guess :p
