 Disclaimer: This deck was not the sole creation from the mind of Reynad, just the iteration he used and did well with. I'm not claiming he was the original creator.

Introduction:

This deck is very similar to the regular tempo warrior deck but is a bit more aggressive earlier in the game due to Alexstraza’s Champion. It’s fairly fast and has the ability to control the board very well. Hopefully this guide will cover any questions that you guys may have!

 

Deck:

Finishers – Grommash Hellscream & Drakonid Crusher

Grommash is an obvious finisher but the real threats exist in the Drakonid Crusher, with BGH out of favor, many decks are limited to other removal that is usually wasted on earlier minions.

Draw – Azure Drake & Battle Rage

This deck substitutes Azure Drake for Acolyte of Pain to promote the dragon synergy. The Battle Rage is just good in a majority of situations.

Early Game – Fiery War Axe, Armorsmith, Alekstraza’s Champion, Faerie Dragon, Sir Finley Mrrgglton, and Frothing Berserker

The main purpose of a tempo deck is to maintain initiative which is supplemented by these early game plays, especially Fiery War Axe and Alekstraza’s Champion.

Tempo/Removal – Execute, Blood To Ichor, Blackwing Corruptor, Ravaging Ghoul

These cards allow you to maintain your initiative through good trades or immediate removal of threats.

Sustain – Bloodhoof Brave & Twilight Guardian

Sometimes you aren’t always going to be able to maintain the initiative so these are your minions that will help gain that back!

Sir Finley Mrrgglton Hero Power choices:

Top 3: Mage, Warlock, Hunter

Mulligans:

Vs Aggro – Fiery War Axe, Alekstraza’s Champion, Ravaging Ghoul, Bloodhoof Brave

Vs Tempo – Fiery War Axe, Blood To Ichor, Frothing Berserker, Armorsmith

Vs Control – Faerie Dragon, Sir Finley Mrrgglton, Armorsmith, Execute

 

Matchups:

Vs Aggro – Very favored match up

Vs Tempo – 50/50

Vs Control – Slightly harder match up 40/60
