Fibonacci was actually playing Tentacles for Arms in this deck, but he was doing that for fun. He said you can add Grommash Hellscream in that spot, so I just amended the deck list to reflect that change. Not many new cards in this list other than the Sludge Belcher replacement for warrior Bloodhoof Brave!

I am not sure I understand the jewel scarab. Granted haven’t used it that often to know what kind of results you will get for a 3 drop but I was thinking about substituting it for blood to ichor.
Warrior has a lot of three drops (which you are more likely to get) that are very strong: Bash, Shield Block, Ravaging Ghoul, and Fierce Monkey. There will also be times when even Frothing Berserker could be good. Blood to Ichor isn’t a bad substitute though.
whats the point of having 2 doomsayers? When should i use it? Early, mid, late game?
Early-to-Midgame, it basically sweeps their board and/or delays their turn. Your deck is made for the late game so they allow you to get there without losing a ton of health. You can play it as a turn 2 play if you don’t have a Fiery War Axe, or you can play it on turn 4 or 5 on an empty-ish board to delay them a turn.
Are you sure Grom belongs here? It looks pretty out of place, as a revenge or slam will have to be used to activate the enrage (possible, but not ideal), and there are better options for removal than an 8 mana 4 attack charge.
The deck is also built around a more removal-heavy, fatigue-y playstyle (with the doomsayers, scarabs, alex clearly for heal, etc, and I don’t see Grom fitting well into the synergy here.
As outlandish as it may sound, Fibonacci may have had the right idea – it really looks like tentacles for arms would be a better card than grom in this list, and possibly a decent card in general for more stall-heavy control warrior builds.
Missing Grommash and Alex, have the dust currently to craft one, probably 400 away from crafting the other.
Which would you suggest crafting? And what would you use to replace the other? Or should I hold out for now? I’ve been on the fence about crafting Grommash anyway, since he’s pretty much always in any warrior list.
It really depends on what you want to play. Alexstrasza fits in more decks, so in general I would craft her first. If you really like Warrior then Grommash is used in most of their decks. Fibonacci was playing without Grom, so he must feel it isn’t SUPER important, but he obviously thinks it belongs in the deck.
Do you really need Elise? I mean the deck already has it’s own big cards, what could you replace it with?
Ravaging Ghoul or Acolyte of Pain probably.
any replacements for doomsayer’s?
Ravaging Ghoul, but there’s no real replacement for them.
Replacement for 1 of doomsayers?
Ravaging Ghoul.
Or an Armorsmith. Thijs was playing a deck with both 1 doomsayers and 1 smith.
I understand the list is effective… But man how fuck*ng boring is it to play the same ooooold CW.
I personally love playing this deck. Brawl is so good against the N’Zoth decks.
Nobody cares bout new or old, they care bout results ๐
Replacement for Geddon would be something big like Rag or Sylvanas?
Ragnaros could work, Sylvanas is already in the deck.
Completely skipped her in the list. Apologies. Thanks for the reply.
