So I've been playing this Control Warrior list with Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, and Lich King. I've found a bit of success with it, and it's been a lot of fun playing a decent control deck with resource managment and decision making. But I can't seem to win against Hunters with Rexxar, too much value, and their minions just outpace my removal and they kill me quickly once he plays Rexxar.
I totally love Rexxar, so this isn't to complain about it being op or something.
My deck is basically to gain a lot of armor and either deplete their resources through removal and sustain, or get them killed by fatigue before I die from it (hence deadman's hand to add those extra few cards to delay the counter)
But I'm wondering how can I win this matchup? What could I change?
Here is my decklist:

The only time I ever beat Rexxar with Boom was when I had Boom on 7. You should have better removal, utilize it to remove some of his value and rush to give you favorable trades. Cards like that security rover are great for securing the board. Once that is done he should struggle to ever get back on. You have to have Dr. Boom on 7 though.
you cant, you have no win condition and no real late game besides lich king. its just an unfavorable matchup. the only thing you can win this is maybe with grom and dead mans hand him so you have 2 groms for potentinal 20 burst dmg
Skulking geist is a must imo if you want to have a chance against hunter. It destroys lots of cards, fastens hunters fatigue by a lot, removes the possibility of getting rexxar through tracking, but of course you destroy your resources too.
Mine does well against aggro/Mech hunter, even with early DK. It's also great against zoolock and has an out against control if the draw desn't go too badly. It is really bad against deathrattle hunter though (and similar mid-range decks like pogo rogue).

So it would help quicken fatigue for them, but wouldn't it just make it more likely for them to draw rexxar naturally?
You have to play Odd-Control Warrior - so you can out value your opponent. I've had great success especially in this matchup. You almost always want to seek fatigue, whilst he runs tracking.
Silence against deathrattles is also not bad.
Seems fun to play, but oof, my dust lol. I don't have Crowley or Geddon.

You could try something more aggressive using boomship, fatigue and out valuing aren't the most effective wincons right now

You would suggest Rover in place of?
Also, would it be viable to try to Azalina his Rexxar and use his HP?
stop playing this version, we barely see shudderwock atm

So what would you cut and replace with?
