True, but neither of those help Grommash Hellscream, which is an odd inclusion without Inner Rage.

 Warrior need Grommash as a finisher. Control Warrior not gonna win the long value battle vs Priest, Warlock or even Druid.

We still have cruel taskmaster in the coreset, which innerage on stick. The set will have more, since Frenzy is a new keyword so it will ne supported.

And Grom is actuallly good, because I can see the new Ysera in Control Warrior. Nighmare and engrage grom is 14-16 burst without weapon hit.

I'm somewhat worried about Warrior's ability to be viable in the opening of Forged in the Barrens.  Enrage and Big are losing 50-90% of the support that made those decks work, Bomb Face is just gone, and Control is losing Shield Block.  It's possible that something N'zoth-y or Menagerie focused might work and get some support, but it seems shaky, at best.

 

I also don't really want to play OTK Control Warrior.  I like classic Control Warrior, where I've got some big finishers, but something feels extremely boring about Silas/ETC OTK decks.  I just don't enjoy playing them as much.  Is that basically all that's left for Warrior post rotation?

 You like Big Bomb and you worried about classic control warrior position? Trouble Maker, Rattlegore, Prime, new Alex, new Ysera, Grommash. The amount of big boys you can put in your deck is ridiculous. Shieldmaiden replace Shieldblock is actually a good thing for the playstye, because you have a fine body to pressure before dropping big boys in control matchup.

With all their anti aggro tools intact, CW already in good shape before any card reveals!
