Card Explanation and Replacement:
-Blood To Ichor: This is a good card against Aggro/Flood decks because he deals 1 damage and summons a 2/2 for 1 Mana, and also it's in combo with cards like Execute, Acolyte of Pain and in some cases Armorsmith
-Execute: This is one of the best removal of the game, and with the warrior you don't have any problem to damage an opponent's minion, you have cards like Blood To Ichor, Cruel Taskmaster and Ravaging Ghoul
-Shield Slam: Like Execute this is one of the best removal of the game, with your Hero Power synergy or with cards like Shield Block, Bash, Justicar Trueheart you don't have any problem to remove your opponent's Big minion
-Armorsmith: Against Aggro decks like Flood Paladin, Zoo, Face Hunter and Egg Druid this is a very solid minion, but also against Control decks too, because it is very hard to deal 4 damages in the first 4 turns. If you find many Face Shaman you could think to replace him with Doomsayer
-Cruel Taskmaster: This is a good card against Aggro decks dealing 1 damage, or giving to one of your minion +2 attack if you need or to damage one of your opponent's minion. Very good card with Execute, Acolyte of Pain and Grommash Hellscream.
-Fiery War Axe: The best weapon to destroy minion in the first turns.
-Bash: This is a Frostbolt with 3 mana cost and also it gives you 3 Armor. Good removal
-Ravaging Ghoul: This is the perfect card against Flood decks like Zoo and Flood Paladin destroying every 1/1 minions, it is a Whirlwind with a 3/3 body, Astonishing! It is a very good card with Execute and Acolyte of Pain
-Shield Block: This and Acolyte of Pain are your draw cards, and also It gives you 5 Armor, so good with Shield Slam, on turn 4 you could destroy a 5 health minion and Armoring up for 5 Armor
-Brawl: I know, in this card you have some RNG, because if your opponents play Onyxia and you use it, Onyxia could survive, but this is too unlikely. Also you have Sylvanas Windrunner on board and you use Brawl, if one of your opponent's minion survives you stole it. The Dream
-Gorehowl: imho the best weapon in the game, it can deal 28 damage if you attack minions, too strong!
-Grommash Hellscream: Your finisher, with Cruel Taskmaster you can deal 12 damages, it is also strong if you have to remove an opponent's minion and put a 10 attack minion on the board.
-Acolyte of Pain: You best card draw also also it is a good minion against Aggro decks, if you can draw at least two cards, you have created an huge value. So good with Blood To Ichor, Cruel Taskmaster and Ravaging Ghoul
-Nexus-Champion Saraad: I love this card, a 4/5 body for 5 mana is not too bad, but his effect can allow you too many combo or just giving you an health card or a burst card. This and Elise Starseeker are very different, because Nexus-Champion Saraad adds cards to your hands without drawing from your deck, all this kind of carts, like discover cards, gives you an huge value and also if you play it, your opponent has to remove it spending some tempo. If you don't like this card you can replace it with Harrison Jones or The Black Knight
-Cairne Bloodhoof: Before nerf and the Standard, It was a bad card, your opponent always silenced it, and it was too slow. Now this card is back, If you consider it could be an 8/10 for 6 mana, this is Insane. Your opponents never play silencer cards, so this forced your opponent not to play AoE cards and if he uses them you'll still have a 4/5 minion. As Nexus-Champion Saraad you can replace it with Harrison Jones or The Black Knight
-Justicar Trueheart: This card in a Warrior deck is insane, after you summon it every want you want you can spend 2 mana and you'll have 4 Armor, this is broken
-Sylvanas Windrunner: Simply the best legendary card atm. If you need you can destroy it with Shield Slam or other cards if you need to stole an opponent's minion. UNREPLACEBLE
-Ragnaros the Firelord: You can use it to remove a big minion or to deal 8 damages on your opponent's face, If it starts sniping it can be Insane and with the BGH nerf it becomes difficult to remove it. You can replace it with Baron Geddon or if you want Chromaggus.
-Alexstrasza: "I bring Life and Hope". You can use it to make your opponent's health 15 and the next turn finish him with Grommash Hellscream + Cruel Taskmaster or to make you 15 health if you are next to die.
-Deathwing: Your last winning card. If you are on fatigue against another Contorl Warrior and you know he used every removal, playing it can make you win. If you are against Aggro decks, your opponent's board is full and you don't have any removal, you can play it. Imho it is a very very strong card but if you don't love it you can replace it win Ysera
I hope you liked my guide and I'm sorry for my English. If you have any questions don't have any problem to ask it to me.
UPDATE 2: Thanks to all of you boys!

HEH, GREETINGS!
Why not Harrison Jones?
Enjoyable Deck!
I have a little wonder though, Why 2 Ravaging Ghoul's?
I get the point with its a good 3 mana cost that can ruin an aggro decks life. but since there's no synergy with that and grommash, isn't 2 a bit overkill? :)
It looks good on paper, but after giving it a try in the current meta, it sucks pond water - 6 straight losses, especially to agro. Quickly removed it from my bullpen. Sorry bro.
Control Warrior is one of the more difficult decks to pilot even though it seems easy on paper due to so many power cards. While I play a slightly different version, it is a very strong deck. If you are losing 6x in a row you are simply not piloting it well. It may be a hard pill to swallow, but before you criticize a deck that has been proven to be a top tier deck since vanilla you may want to consider that maybe you don't know how to play it as well as you thought you did. I can't count the number of times I have played mirrors with this archetype and have seen bad pilots just throw away key cards because they don't understand the proper way to pilot.
My piloting efforts are just fine. Even though I took nearly two years off my warrior is a sold level 48 because I played CWar almost exclusively.
You can but it will take a lot of time. There are a lot of popular control decks right now that will push you to fatigue often which leads to an extremely tall ladder to climb.
The big plus to elise is that you turn those shit cards you can get stuck with into things that could win you the game in fatigue. If you get stuck with little minions and/or cards like shield block at the end they are worthless. Elise can nullify those situations. In those situations, which to be fair I have seen quite a lot of since playing control warrior since release, deathwing would just remove those cards. You could argue its effect cancels out the potential loss of cards. With deathwing though, as you mentioned, you rely on them not having removal, whereas elise can you give multiple options requiring removal. Elise and monkey are more versatile.
I am mostly facing control right now, which is why I tend towards Elise
Why the f. Cairne and Deathwing??lol also 100% win rate..come on
I just got 100% from 14 to 11
its just a number bro, rlx
Nice list, but isn't the deck weak to zoo without Revenge?
Replace for Cairne Bloodhoof and Deathwing? I dont' have Harrison Jones,The Black Knight, Baron Geddon or Ysera
Dont mean to sound calloused, but some of those cards are pillars of control warrior decks.Baron Geddon can be subbed withAbomination, Cairne can be swapped with any 2 for 1 card,Harrison Jones is either for card draw or weapon destruction with a body on the board, so either ooze or something like polluted hoarder.Black Knight and Yseraare one of a kinds, replace with any good curve card.
I replaced [card]Nexus-Champion Saraad[/card] with Harrison Jones because of Shamans, [card]Cairne Bloodhoof[/card] with Baron Geddon because of zoo, I face those decks mostly so I had to put in tech cards. Also I replaced Deathwing with Doomsayer, I know they have different effects, but I just don't face many control decks, and vs other decks you might want to play turn 2 tempo steal. You can of course win just because of this card, but I think I would rather lose 1 game because I don't run Deathwing, than lose 2 because I had to discard rest of my winning condition. I will put in results soon. But you still have my +1, because your version is more enjoyable than typical CW. Good luck on ladder! ;)
I haven't played control warrior in about 8+ seasons, really enjoying it again! Great deck as well, helped me finally break rank 6 and even up to 5 in the same day
I replaced nexus champion saraad cairne and deathwing for 2 slam 1 ysera and 1 harrison jones
Nice deck fellow CW player
I've switched some cards to fit the classes i queue up against and it's working pretty well
My tech choices: -1 acolyte of pain + harrison, - cairne + bloodhoof brave, - ragnaros + baron geddon and - deathwing + ysera (as you suggested)
rank 5 atm and rising
I switched a few legendarys cuz i don't have all from the decklist :) but it rly works awesome for me :D
thx for sharing ^_^
Good decklist, I changed the Nexus-Champion with Harrison Jones, partly because I don`t want to craft him right now and because of the ugly shaman situation.
I was requested to make a video for this deck, so here you go: Control Warrior versus Tempo Mage
