This is my version of Taunt Warrior i was running in the Legend Ladder of Season 37. To understand the idea behind the Deck i will complain why i removed and added something from the actual Meta “Un’Goro Quest Warrior” which you can find here: http://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/decks/ungoro-quest-taunt-warrior-deck-list-guide-standard/
Removed:
-2 Armorsmith
-1 Dirty Rat (watch edit)
-1 Stonehill Defender (watch edit)
Added:
-2 Armorsmith and why: i like this card especially against freeze and aggro, but here i have most of the time enough armor value by 2x Shield Block and 2x Alley Armorsmith. Also the amount of Taunt cards made this card less useful (atleast for me), because the armor means not much against control decks, you just need to finish your Quest really quickly here. At the beginning Taunt Warrior had no Armorsmith and it worked great too even against aggro, also now atleast for me so i keep it like this.
The replacement for Armorsmith = Frothing Berserker and why: One big target in Hearthstone is to force the hard spells/removals from your opponent like Execute, Fireball, Eviscerate, Deadly Shot … and so on. Frothing Berserker does this very well ! Often my opponent was saving these cards for lethal moves against me, to clear my actual spot who is important for the next step of the Game like Alley Armorsmith. I cant count it how much times this unit got killed by hard removals/spells. So in that case the Frothing Berserker forces these spells nearly always, because its behind your Taunt and nobody wants that this guy is getting big. Now cards like Alley Armorsmith having a huge value because you can stack armor very high, or you force the last spells your opponent has to clear also this. In addition to this i like the option to combo with him, like with Ravaging Ghoul Whirlwind same like Bloodhoof Brave and this gives you the option to put pressure on your enemy or even to kill him before you finished your quest.
-1 Dirty Rat (watch edit)
-1 Stonehill Defender (watch edit)
replacement = Dread Corsair (watch edit)
Both cards having a huge value, but atleast for me one of each is enough, warning: this change is based on my play style and not recommended for everyone.
But why i did it: Dread Corsair is very useful in combination with Fiery War Axe because you have a 1 drop taunt so you can finish the quest more quickly. Versus aggro its also great to have this combo, because they already start to struggle against you with this combo (Weapon + 1 drop 3/3 taunt) and this can be turn 2 with coin. Even later this card has value because you have a 0 drop Taunt with Sulfuras and this can be very annoying for your opponent.
For those who prefer you can also run Deathwing and -1 Primordial Drake
edit: was a hard decision and it took me a lot of games but i removed both Dread Corsair and added 1 Dirty Rat and Stonehill Defender because if you have no weapon its actually to slow. For me this is a close one, you are ahead with the combo no questions here but without a weapon you will start struggling.
So if you like the Deck leave a + at the end and leave a follow on https://twitter.com/HS_Doobee for upcoming Decks and other Hearthstone stuff !
It would mean a lot to me in terms of the motivation and putting Effort in things like this !
Thanks for the attention ! See you guys.
