Ok, I was very sceptical about this deck by the first glace, but after a little (10 games) testing I found that it was great. I lost 3 out of the 10 games and it was against a perfect draw face shaman and the other two losses I ended up with a starting hand that only had 4+ cards in it.
The reasons why I like this deck is because it does very well in the current meta, which for me atleast seems to consist of combo druids and secret paladins. Killing off the enemy minions early game with your weapon lets you establish a board and your late-game weapons gives you that extra face damage that you need to finish of the opponent.
Commanding Shout feels like a dead card to me, I thought I would get more out of it and it would allow me to do awesome trades, but I don't need to trade with minions, Fiery War Axe & Arcanite Reaper allows me to remove the minions I need removing and that allows me to just go face with minions. Not once during my 10 games have I never used Commanding Shout. I'm thinking about replacing them for either Heroic Strike or Mortal Strike to get that last explosive damage push.
Thanks for sharing the deck! I usually despise face decks, and I actually thought this would be more of an aggro-control deck, but I always end up hitting the opponent in the face with my Arcanite Reaper.
Edit 1: I've played another 10 games with the deck, it is till going strong and I'm still using Commanding Shout, but I'm struggling pretty hard against Reno Jackson based decks. Commanding Shout has now once won me a game against a Reno Warlock that had hid behind a wall of taunts. I'm still considering changing it though.
