With most people assuming your Warrior deck is Control or Patron, it’s always great to throw your opponent a curve ball. JustSaiyan mentioned that this deck plays like Midrange Druid, and is more of a beatdown deck than a control deck. You will be looking to hit the board on curve, while using your weapons to keep their minions from destroying yours. Play this more aggressively, and hopefully finish them off with a big threat like Dr. Boom or Grommash Hellscream.

hey guys, i got rank 5 with my dragon mage last season and am a huge fan of dragon decks (besides priest because I find it a little boring.) I have been looking for a dragon deck to finally hit legend with and was wondering if anyone could confirm that this is viable for that. I like the idea of more of a midrange dragon deck as mine is heavy control, and as a result nearly always wins vs control but struggles vs aggro, particularly paladins although hunters are a decent matchup. I know this isnt really the right place for it but if anyone could take a look at my list and see what improvements I could make to combat aggro without losing too much in control matchups (which is why I dont use deathlord).
x2 frostbolt
x2 explosive sheep
x2 mad scientist
x1 fallen hero (i like using two of these but im not sure what to cut)
x1 ice block
x2 duplicate
x2 blackwing technitian
x1 illuminator
x1 twilight drake
x2 twilight guardian
x2 fireball
x2 polymorph
x2 azure drake
x1antique healbot
x1 blackwing corruptor
x1 rend blackhand
x1 flamestrike
x1 ragnaros
x1 chillmaw
x1 alexstraza
x1 ysera
cards i wish I had room for: sludgebelcher, any early game card to fight aggro, bran bronzebeard
*possibly baron geddon over ragnaros or dr boom over rend blackhand?
The whole idea of the deck is to survive aggro and completely outvalue control with strong removal in the form of poly/fireball/blackhand and duplicating my own big cards like chillmaw. Thanks in advance for any help/opinions!
Edit: it actually performs better past rank 10 than it does at lower rank because all I see at lower ranks is aggro every game.
took out gnomish for rag and chillmaw for barron geddon. Works out pretty well.
Anyone tried this in the current meta with alot of secret paladins?
I took out drakanoid crusher X1 and acolyte of pain X1 for revenge x2 and don’t have grom so I added nefarian. Ended up working a lot better against face hunters and paladins
I took out acolyte for an owl its a lot better I believe
Looks interesting,,
I don’t have Chillmaw though,, is Ysera good enough?
It might work.
Hey Evident, I see you post all over the website on every deck all the time to all these comments. Keep up the great work with assisting the Hearthstone community, you fantastic human being!
Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words!
Weak against Patron if you don’t include Chillmaw. tho. it’s kinda good replacement for Dragon Synergy
Got 100% violated by JustSaiyan playing this deck on the legend ladder
How can i replace Grom?
Replace him with a late game threat of some kind (aggressive minion ofcourse), the concern is that Grommash is VERY strong and in combination with an enrage trigger he’s 10 hasted damage which no single card can replace in the list. If you have various late game legendaries (ala Rag) use them, but if you don’t try running just a big late game card such as Force Tank Max or North Sea Kraken
If you don’t have Grom don’t play warrior.
