Even Yip Warrior

This is a deck I’m currently trying to build and reinforce because I think it has a lot of potential. The basis of the deck is to play Genn Greymane which will allow you to armor up a lot, combined with what I would call “Armor synergies” of the warrior : Geosculptor Yip of course but also Gemstudded Golem which is very nice against aggro and finally Bladed Gauntlet. I found this weapon absolutely excellent against Cubelock because you can take down big threats easily as you could do with Gorehowl, I’m still wondering if a second copy could be included.

Other cards help you gaining as much armor as possible : Drywhisker Armorer, Armorsmith, Plated Beetle and Unidentified Shield. 

Apart from the armor mechanics, the other win conditions are The Lich King and Rotface combined with Warpath or the hero power of Scourgelord Garrosh (don’t play the DK too early in order to maximize the value from the basic hero power, armor is the essential aspect of the deck).

Obviously the classic turn 4 which is a must-have because of cubelock / Warlock in general : Spellbreaker. One more thing, Rotface can be replaced by Grommash Hellscream, this legendary is funnier than competitive but it fits pretty well and gives some value to Warpath in slow match-ups. You can add Inner Rage if you do this replacement because 0 mana cards are considered as Even-cost cards.

Update : Bloodmage Thalnos was added in order to have a little more card draw and it’s always nice to have a 2 damage Warpath on turn 4 against any kind of aggro deck. 

This may not be a top tier deck but I’m pretty sure some Legend Warrior players will try such archetype, from my experience I can say it’s a good counter for Cubelock and if you get Blood Razor and Warpath in the right timing you can also take down Dude Paladin (the Even version is way easier to beat compared to the Odd one). I also had a lot of fun playing it so it’s worth the try 🙂
