Hi, saw your deck, and I think I've decided to craft CW, but a couple of questions, hopefully it won't take too much time.

Is Emperor Thaurissan a good replacement for Justicar? 6 drop for 6 drop?

Is this a good deck to climb to rank 5 with? I'm in high school and I don't have alot of time, but I play when I do have time. I saw that it was bad to climb to 10 from 20, as you said, but what about 10 to 5? If I'm not grinding to legend?

Thanks for your list, and thanks if you answer. =)

EDIT: Also, should I make Justicar a crafting priority? She's not currently on my list, but is she really that good, especially vs aggro where she might not get as much value? Also, when do I typically play her, since it seems like a really odd card that could be a bad play sometimes, even if on curve, with the 3 health and everything.

So sorry for answering late! Sadly replacing 6 drop for 6 drop isn't how it works.

Justicar is that good. It's honestly I'd say high priority in the deck. If you don't have it, emperor is okay to replace it if you don't have the dust.

And it is a good deck to climb with but keep a few things in mind:

-The deck, like any other, needs quite a few games to get a hold of and get good with.

-It's a control deck. When I said it's a bad climb it's because it's SLOW. It's bad because that would take forever, even against less-skilled players. Pros recommend to play faster aggro decks because you get more games in.

Took this deck to 248 Legend. No changes. Anyone who complains needs a little more practice with CW because I didn't have much and went 10-3 from rank 2. I'm currently 1-0 at Legend as well (played a game while typing this).

Best note: Justicar Trueheart is insane. I've won enough games solely due to having a hero power for 4 armor vs. 2 to know that everyone considering her needs to craft her or this deck won't play as well. On that note, I think Varian Wrynn is over-valued and not as good as he seems. 

 

Thanks! Also I tried shredders and other subs as people have recommended and I didn't really like them tbh. I think for a slower meta it might work better (Or it might not even be that. I did a small sample size, so it's probably an unfair comparison.)

I'm missing Ysera and Justicar which one has the higher priority, I'd go for justicar first as I could replace ysera with something like nefarian etc.

Both important, I think justicar is more proactive in a lot of matches so yeah go for it!

Quote from ImRickJames89 jump

I'm missing Ysera and Baron Geddon, Which card should i craft first ? I'm using Nefarian  for Ysera atm and he is pretty good, so i gues Geddon ?

Ysera has a bigger difference than Geddon actually, hard to say. If you play a lot of hunters in your meta, yeah, sure, go for Geddon.

Quote from Matt_Sparks jump

Control Warrior is one of my favourite decks to play, so I was interested to see how the new additions worked within a tried & tested deck. So far I'm pretty impressed, obviously a couple of things could be changed here & there depending on what you're coming up against, but overall its a solid deck. Went ahead & made a deck spotlight video to add to my ongoing series, I hope you like it!

Thanks so much man! That's so awesome :D appreciate the deck feature!

Quote from twitchy jump

I have every card for this deck except Baron, is he worth crafting?

If you like to play CW, then yes. It's an amazing extremely useful card to have and quite versatile. And one of the best instant-aggro clearing cards in the game!

Or if you have the extra dust, I'd recommend it!

Quote from Kezwik jump

I have a lot  of problems playing versus tempo mage, like I'm dying on turn 5-6, or just cant establish board control and losing. What's the problem? Am I doing something wrong? 

Gave an answer with tempo a few comments above.

Quote from Eik0w jump

No Whirlwind or Revenge?

With the number of secret palafuck it's not a must have ?

I had no issues. I think revenge is fine to add, that's why there's a replacement list! But to answer, no, I don't think it's a must have.

Quote from chaudharykapil jump

This deck is good against Hunters, Warriors (Patron and Control), Rogue, Priest somewhat moderate against Druid but I couldn't keep any fight to Mages and Paladin. Any suggestions what to do against them? 

With mages, I'll assume we're talking about tempo as it's much hard than mech. Basically, it's usually an auto-win with Fiery war axe. If not, there's 3 big issues:

Wyrm, Flamewaker, and apprentice

Assuming worst-case scenario, if you're going first and don't start with any weapons, keep execute and maybe shieldslam. Hard mulligan for any weapons possible and bash. You just have to make some awkward choices to survive and it shouldn't be an issue. Assume there's and archmage and keep removal for it. Remember mirror image is a thing.

Quote from himegotooo jump

I agree with your view on varian and list looks solid. But I really think you need Harrison or Ooze in a CW deck.

Harrison is too slow VS a lot of meta. Especially paladin. Even if you draw 3 cards off mister you just give them 3+ cards more of threats. Hunter is easily manageable with proper usage of removal, and Harrison CAN be great here (midrange) but not enough to make a difference. The biggest thing is few patron decks, if they pop up a lot remove a shieldmaiden.

Remember my goal with this deck is for people to climb 5-legend! Also, I could easily be wrong about this, change the deck to fit the meta you run into. If you don't know what the most efficient subs are, ask!

Quote from Lengah jump

You could have called it "Standard CW" and it would have been a much more appropriate description.
Lists exactly like this have been played since naxx release, you can find some with the very same cards posted months ago.
When will this agony of "XXX's legend warrior" end? It's ridiculous to see this upvoted.
The deck isn't bad, we know it, but we know it because we all have been playing it for over a year. Stop posting the same list over and over.

Few things. Under the "proof" I mention it's just standard control warrior. The goal of posting this on a fansite is to help new players and or people trying to hit legend use a list that I know works in the meta.

I just put "mendi's CW" because I played WoW and got r1 a few seasons ago and hoping a few old friends might see it and PM me. Sorry if that offended you lol, but as I said it's just standard CW.

Just wanted to say thanks for helping out in the thread Minetimes!

I play mostly from mobile so it's hard for me to go into great detail and you cover like a boss :3

Quote from Genotoxic jump

Sorry if this has already been answered by you, iv lost track on here with all the questions and answers but what is your opinion on Revenge in CW? Say even if you were running 2x Brawl and Geddon but find yourself against lots of trasy aggro decks.

Sorry for the late response.

You can replace x1 brawl with x1 revenge, a lot of people find double brawl extremely clunky and dead in their hands.

Quote from FreeDrinks jump

I like CW but what are doing about Eboladin? I have never won a game against this deck. 

A LOT of people seem to be having trouble as CW vs this deck. I tech'ed this deck leaning more toward eboladin, and I have a 60/40 w/l against it. It's a deck where you really do auto-lose to bad hands, so going first VS it sucks but really you just need to get an early death's bite, armorsmith, and brawl.

Depending completely on their board, it might be worth it to hold the last charge t5, so on your t5 you can brawl.

Also, look at your cards very heavily. Could you take 12 damage going into his t6 to value brawl? What if he holds/doesnt have challenger? How can you deal with this? Look at everything very objectively, think of the WORST CASE senario, and attempt to play based on that choice.

Quote from DirtyRevenge jump

Hey dude isnt it better to add one more Bash and Shield Block instead of the two Armorsmith ?

The bodies are good VS aggro. They allow you to clear 1-drops, stack armor when placed behind belcher. Also, Eboladin. Need to be able to get rid of divine shield.
