C’Thun Warrior is awesome. Just Armor up as much as you can and save Taunts for after Combo Warrior has played Emperor. Before Emperor, he can do max 30 damage, so he can’t really surprise lethal you. Play C’Thun as soon as you can, even as 10/10 or something, to bait an Execute. If you bait a second Execute with I don’t know, Ancient Shieldbearer, then the game is basically over once you play Twin Emperor. Or if you manage to go above 60 health total. Save Brann for Ancient Shieldbearer or Twin Emperor.
Aggro decks are also okay against it. It’s not like they completely counter it, but combo pieces are very clunky at the start of the game, so if Warrior draws a lot of them in the early game, he has no way to counter the aggression and basically loses the game. I’ve found out that Aggro Paladin is especially tricky, as Combo Warrior is often stuck with a lot of dead cards in the hand + he can’t “not draw cards” when almost half of his deck is card draw, basically giving Aggro Paladin amazing Divine Favor value every game.
