Simple enough, the purpose of the deck is to deal massive damage to the opponent through the use of:
Death Wish/Arcanite Reaper. Death Wish is fed armor through your Hero Power, the Armorsmith (which triggers on Whirlwind/Inner Rage and damage in general) and Shield Block.
All of the four aforementioned minions synergize well with: Whirlwind/Inner Rage/Slam
All of your damage comes as somewhat of a surprise, since you can give your minions Charge by using either the Warsong Commander or Charge, and your Hero's weapon and attacks do not require him to wait a turn after a weapon is dropped.
______________
Your card draw comes from:
Shield Block/Acolyte of Pain/Slam/Battle Rage.
Among these, the Acolyte of Pain and Battle Rage synergize well with Whirlwind, and typically always gets you at least a card. The other two are cantrip spells that are used to great effect in this specific deck.
I actually really love this deck (love your videos too btw). The combination of buffing minions with charge and/or attack could be devastating. I particularly like the addition of the spellbreakers, which is one of my favorite cards. You can silence a taunt minion then unleash all your minions against the hero for a final blow.
If you find that your minions need a bit more longevity, you could maybe swap in a Darkscale healer or two since you only have 3 minions with enrage. Maybe one amani berserker for one darkscale healer. Your mana curve seems to be on the lower side, but that is likely the intent. Card draw seems sufficient.
The only potential weakness I see is that your hero is vulnerable without any taunt minions, so you might not be able to build up enough armor for that surprise burst. But even then, an Arcanite Reaper + Shield Block + Death Wish could be a game finisher. This deck may also struggle against control decks. If you can't get your minions into the field and have them stay there, it's hard to set up the combos, but I think the Arcanite Reaper and Death Wish combos could help you finish off such an opponent you've managed to whittle down a bit.
You just made my life a LOT harder. Time to work on this deck, hm.
Not at all! I really think you can get away with dropping Spellbreaker for Raging Worgen. He fits your theme AND cuts your curve a bit.
Yeah; I'm wondering the Armorsmith isn't the one who should go though. I will need to playtest both o_o The Spellbreaker has dealt with many a Taunt minion.
Great deck definately will be trying this as soon as possible. I don't have Cockatrice so I will have to wait for beta (hopefully I will get in the closed beta or I will die till the game comes out)

Yeah, I tested it with Shieldbearer and it didn't do much good. Rampage is a good idea, but as you said: WHAT TO TAKE OUT!?
