Damn you warriors, I am not willing to play a 40 minutes game and I am not going to read a 40 minute wall of text either.
This is actually what I love. I'd much rather play the long game where i have to think strategic and consider the amount of recources I have and when to use them. If I want to play a 5 minute game I'd consider a less dynamic game (Pong) or games that have a certain time limit (like sports games)
The long games is are exactly what I'm looking for in a game like this :D
This argument is absurd. You don't have to "consider the amount of resources you have and when to use them", because your entire deck is filled with resources and the Boom enhanced hero power gives you more.
There are Control decks that require strategic thinking, but the current Control Warrior requires virtually no thought what so ever.
Every deck you play against requires thought and strategy there is no need to disingenuously marginalize that truth. To make the correct plays you need to understand the deck you are facing, what it's strengths and weaknesses are, what cards to predict will be played next by your opponent and how to best approach the circumstances of the game with the limited portion of your deck currently in your hand.
You are projecting your own absurdity onto others.
Actually you just kill everything they play the minute it comes down. Doesn't matter what class you are facing.
There are a couple of exceptions, of course. Remember to save your taunts against Quest Druid to stop Bees combo from OTK'ing you for example. But this isn't rocket science.
But CW is easy to play. And the mirrors are pretty mindless. There are a few simple rules to follow universally; there are very few dynamic decisions to be made. The key to winning CW mirrors is drawing Boom first, and getting better cards from Eleysiana.
Oh wow, you mean the control archetype consistently has the same strategy just like the combo deck archetype have the same strategy within their own right: Stall game until you have your combo, execute combo then win the game. Zoo decks will consistently have the same strategy for their archetype as well, wow what a big surprise!
Following your logic:
Let's say Dr. Boom never existed... The key to winning CW mirrors is getting better cards from Archivist Elysiana. Otherwise, what else could there be... Control Warrior strategy would still stay consistent with the archetype regardless of Dr. Boom.
Sure the power level of Dr. Boom should be tweaked but if you find the "control archetype to be mindless" then getting rid of Dr. Boom isn't going to change your perception of that archetype because it will still be consistent when Dr. Boom is gone from standard.

For those who gripe that warrior is the only control game in town: I wholeheartedly agree!
Shaman and mage rely so heavily on RNG tools for control, and warrior at it's base is best geared for consistent control of the game. Priest could be incredible, but every time priest gets tools for control, they somehow end up as completely toxic decks and non-interactive OTK's instead (wild still has a big priest problem, and Frozen Throne had machine gun Anduin, wall priest was an atrocity, etc.).
Blizzard needs to figure out how to let other classes play control without making a joke of it or breaking the meta.
You complain about RNG, yet you defend Dr. Boom and his wacky hero power?
Whatever, dude.
Anyone who actually understands Hearthstone knows that I fart in my wine glass and savor the smell before every match.
That's a very long-winded way to say Control mirrors are boring to play and watch.

Fixed. Smug much?
*fart noise*
Is it "truly infinite value" if you lose and even so then what good is " truly infinite value" if you lost the game anyways?
