I dont think Varian and Alexstrasza are best buds. Secondly you dont have brawl. Azure Drake doesnt not fit as you dont have spells that scale with spell damage. Heres my take on a dragon warrior. Good luck for TgT
Hey my friend! Thank you for your comment. First my impressions on your deck:
-Is there really enough dragons to ensure the dragon mechanics ? And why dont you go for the sweet new card "Alexstraza's champion"? (btw nice take on twilight guardian this card is beast)
-I played control warrior for a while now and I don't really like brawl anymore. In a desperate situation even if you brawl, you still get an enemy minion on the board except if you have got sylvannas on the board which rarely happens.
-I don't really like Rend Blackhand. Because he costs 7, needs to destroy a legendary minion and has 4 health what is pretty weak in my opinion...
-Same for Justicar Truehearth. You don't win games with hero power (except for the huntard) 6 for 6-3 even with a better hero power doesn't seem valuable to me. Same story for the "Nexus-Champion" Saraad.
-About card draw: you've got the good old mechanic cruel taskmaker-acolyte of pain with a bit of death's bite. I tried to do sth different more in the dragon way. 2 card draws from slam 2 card draws from shieldblock 2 card draws from the azure drake. From your draw mechanichs you can get 8 max card draws but most of the time you will get 6 because the acolyte ensure 2 card draws most of the time. So it need to be tested
The other cards in your deck are pretty nice; it need to be tested
On my deck:
-Like I said: the azure drakes are there to ensure the card draws and dragon synergy. For sure te spell power is pointless but it's in my opinion a card that fits well in my deck.
-Varian is a nice late game card that ensure draw. I'll see how it performs in the incoming meta...
-Alexstraza's can save your ass pretty hard or help you finish your enemy with Grommash. Really like this card and dragon synergy.
Let's test it anyway when TGT release good luck!
Current control dragon warrior just has 3 dragons , 6 is more than enough. I predictin the meta will have a lot of control decks with tons of legendary minions that below BGH range hence rend comes in.

Garrison commander will work so well with justiciar X1 + nexus saraad champion 8 armour + a spell each time u hero power just my 2 cent. Remove one armour smith one maiden. Why do you have kings defender with only 2 taunt minions ? 2x. Fiery war axe. I will cut one shield block for 1x slam. It's a nice inspire theme control deck. Good luck
you discard your hand and give your opp +2 cards. sounds legt.
Its better than discarding your hand and doing nothing in the turns after that. It also gives you two cards.
Seriously, what is wrong with you people?
Lets say you are completely starving, bread count at zero, because you burned all your bread to get some weird plan to work, and your opponent has 5 breads and is not hungry. Would you take 2 breads at the price that your opponent also gets 2, on top of the 5 he already has?
Its a good deal. The problem is: You play Astral Communion, and then you just lose the game. That is why the card is most likely complete crap, just like Deathwing. You need a follow-up, or the card is crap.
Well, if guess you can go two ways about the inconsistency of Astral Communion:
(1) Embrace the RNG: Maximize your card draw before turn 4. If you can get an average of 2 extra draws you "only" need a ~75% winrate when drawing Astral Communion in time. Concede and move on if you don't draw it (maybe stay another turn or two against control decks). That approach does increase the number of games played (which is also one of the great advantages of face hunter ;)) and the winstreaks at lower ranks should actually allow you to rank up with an even lower win ratio.
(2) Have a plan B: Build your deck in a way so that it can behave like a normal ramp deck. Again all you technically need is to balance out the win chances of drawing vs. not drawing Astral Communion. I am pretty sure Communion Inspire Druid will take this route.
Btw, if I have the time I'll try to run a few simulations to estimate the effectiveness of Innervate in an Astral Communion deck (chance to speed up your Communion vs. topdecking it after playing Astral Communion).
If Astral Communion does work, the first things you want to topdeck into are Nourish and Ancient of Lore to get cards so that you can use your 10 mana for anything useful. These also fit in a ramp deck, and if Astral Communion does not work, the extra card draw can help compensate for the dead cards in your hand. If card draw is badly needed, Coldlight Oracle is reliable, with the drawback of giving your opponents cards as well. After turn 2 communion, when the opponent gets 3 mana next turn and you get 10, coldlight oracle should be good.
EDIT: By the way, in MTG you would use cards that can put cards on top of your deck to prepare for it, so that the discard does not hurt you.
Cold light oracle has the potential to draw a removal for your opponent hence play a big minion and once it their turn its gone.i find it counter productive.
I see Varian in two types of deck battlecry less deck (using garrison commander, justiciar and maybe a heal spell from nexus champion to replace Alexstrasza) or a charge/negative battlecry of deck. There is also a possiblity of a taunt deck with Varian / fatigue. But I am not a fan of those cause of patron warrior.
im trying to build a Dragon Warrior deck for TGT and need some opinions. Please notice that im absolutly open for new Ideas, also not claming that this is the best Deck ever made, just an idea i had at work :)
similar to Classic control Warrior this Decks tries to control the early, and overwhelm end game with big threads.
Dr. Boom -> Ragnaros the Firelord = Dr. Balanced is easier to fit and play. To play Ragnaros you need some preparation, + Boom costs 1 mana less. One disadvantage tho: if [card]Varian Wrynn[/card] pulls you Dr. Boom, there no Minibots. Still a "free 7/7) on the board. in my opinio worth the risk. same goes for [card]Alexstrasza[/card]
i tried this deck with the cards we already have and i doubt this deck will work. most of the time nourish will be the better play and its the more versatile card. also cycling through your deck will lose you almost as much tempo and value as you hope to get with AC

You can replace shield maiden with justicar e.g speaking of staples you don't have Alexstrazsa

Varian doesn't work well with positive battlecry minions
-6
Shield maiden x2 , cruel taskmaster x2 & BGH all are battlecry minions which have poor syngery with Varian.

Out: Echo of medivh, polymorph,spell singer x2, loatheb, dr boom,1x mana wyrn

This is a diverse set non themed. I believe shaman play will increase & control decks will be there . The meta will slow down

Varian is not ideal with Alexstrasza, BGH , Blackwing Corruptor & black knight

Why is 3/6 taunt for 4 mana bad ?

I dont think Varian will fit in a battlecry dragon deck. However he may fit in a negative battlecry dragon deck.
