I'm preparing for local conquest tournament, and I have an idea of building a wall of anti-control decks, so if opponent have even a single control deck - he loses against me.
Now, I have two decks in my mind:
1. Reno mill druid. This one is god against every single control deck out there(no armor or iceblocks can save you from fatigue), and doesn't suck too hard against aggro.
2. Dreadsteed reno warlock. This one is relatively weak to priest (dreadsteeds can be stolen), but apart from that - it's infinite value, and can easily chew all enemy minions, thus outvalue every control out there. Also have Alex+Malganis two turn kill combo.
What deck should be third? Mill rogue is inconsistent as hell, and can lose to RNG even in favourable matchup. I need a deck that have huge winrate against control. Thoughts?
If you want a deck that crushes control try anyfin. Also you should consider running Jarraxus in your second deck if you need a win condition against priest. You have to watch out for Auchenai burst though.
How does it work against golden monkey? I don't believe we can outvalue it. It can't use reno early also. It also don't have juggernaut in list (I don't have one too, that's convinient, but strange). This deck is strange, but this is the reason to try it, though.

We can't have both Alex and Jarraxus, and Alex is better, since can be used in offence, similar to Alex+Grommash combo. It's also risky to run both Sacrificial Pact and Jarraxus against priest. And while this matchup is tricky, it doesn't mean it's bad and not working at all. It works. You can still replicate dreadsteeds in numbers, and he can't steal all of them. It's just not good that he can have indestructible dreadsteeds too, thus he can go face with it every turn. Stealing dreadsteeds can also leave you with less than 5, which isn't good. Jaraxxus doesn't help, cuz 15 hp while he have dreadsteeds - is a form of suicide.
Anyfin... yeah, I think this is it. The only problem it's not that resistant to aggro, so aggro wall might be a problem with it. But it surely fit "anti control wall" theme.
Wait, what? Really? Why? Is that on some patch? That's great news, really. Now I can clear the board for just 6 mana.
Yes, it got changed in the latest patch. They changed the sequencing so that everything gets turned into treants before the sheep blows up. Essentially making this the best board wipe in the game. All the treants and pretty much everything coming out of deathrattles blow up. You should definitely consider adding (at least) one Explosive Sheep to the fatigue/mill Druid.
Here's Kripp explaining the change and showing off his fatigue druid (might give you some inspiration for your deck building...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yKTX4Aam8w
Thanks, I added sheep to my mill druid deck, it makes good deck even better.
Tho, topic is still active. I've tried fatigue warriors and re-evaluated what anyfin does.
Warrior is weak against fatigue elise control decks, ones I wish to hardcounter. You don't have enough removal to clear everything after monkey, and elise warrior does pretty much the same as you do: removing stuff and armoring up.
Anyfin has weak matchup with freezemages, anyfin has weak matchup with any aggro. And just theoretically, warrior can armor up and soak both waves. It sorta does what I need, but it's definitely the weakest one against anything.
Is there any deck archetype I miss here?

You do know that Explosive Sheep now works with Poison Seeds?
I'm no expert on decks tho. Anyfin Pally maybe?
Thanks for replies everyone.
