I'm Mitsuhide, a competitive hearthstone player from the Netherlands. A while ago I won the online qualifiers for WCA with a self-made dragon n'zoth warrior. The new update included two dragon synergy cards that fit perfectly into the deck I made before, namely: Netherspite Historian and Book Wyrm. These cards are insanely powerful but too reactive to fit into the popular aggressive dragon warrior.
- Netherspite Historian provides a reliable dragon activator and fills your curve (discover is super strong if used correctly!). The 1/3 body isn't bad at all and in control matchups, the chances of getting a valuable minion like ysera/alexstrasza/onyxia/deathwing/deathwing: dragonlord/nefarian are insanely high. It also allows you to get a second Chillmaw to spawn from your N'zoth
- Book Wyrm is just a very good card with an effect comparable to cabal shadowpriest, but less situational. Apart from that it's a good dragon to activate your synergies. It absolutely destroys Twilight Guardians and Imp gang bosses for example
Other parts of the deck are the standard control warrior removal package consisting of Execute, Shield Slam, Shield Block and Brawl. A package which is very strong in the current filled with druid, shaman and zoo. I opted for a slam instead of a bash since it's more flexible to accompany your early and mid game creatures. For the "Flex spot" I decided to run a N'zoth package consisting of Cairne, Sylvanas, (Chillmaw,) and N'zoth to give some more power versus midrange decks like druid. Also because I would run Sylvanas and Chillmaw either way in this meta.
You can follow me on twitter for more decks and talk @ONE_Mitsuhide. Have fun!

P.S. It would be very helpful for future development if you would post your stats in the comments after playing the deck. Thanks!
so you DE your whole collection to craft this deck and you lose 12 games with it? XD
well played senpai
This deck is so good! I was looking for a warrior deck that added Netherspite Historian [/card]and [card]Book Wyrm, and that's how I got here. I haven't lost a game against discardlock, druid beast or other dragon warriors or paladin decks. The sinergy with N'zoth is amazing. This will be the deck that will get my last 50 wins for my golden warrior and hopefully to legend this season. Grats and thanks!
This deck looks strong! Played 3 games and destroyed DragonPriest, MidRange DragonWarrior and TempoMage. I will post, pics my statistics after more matchups.
This day went nicely with this deck 6-1 and as i mentioned earlier here is the pic. Added notes behind so you know whom i beated or got beaten. 2 games don't have more statistics coz i added them after putting tracker on.

more coming later. :)
which ranks did you advance with this deck?
I had no problems going from rank 18 to 13 with a few winning streaks
I've given this a go today through ranks 18-15. So far, it's been playing well. I'm 15-12. It seems to handle the prevelance of Discard Lock (see edit below) and Aggro Shaman pretty well. My losses have been to Aggro Paladin (close game), Face Hunter (not a close game) and a Reno N'Zoth Warlock (close game, but the draws I needed were buried at the bottom of my deck). I've switched out Cairne for Deathwing Dragonlord as I haven't been finding that I need the midrange punch with the other minions in the deck. Dranglord gives your N'zoth turn a bit more punch, and if you've used your Netherspites to discover some large dragons, his deathrattle can give you a pretty strong effect.
I had a regular Deathwing in my list for a bit and he won me at least one game, but I found myself not wanting to use him very often because, by the time he would be useful, I usually had some very big dragons in my hand from draws or Netherspite and didn't want to discard them. I ended up removing him and haven't missed him so far.
I think the only other major change I had was bash for slam simply because I wanted more armor. I also ended up finding that I enjoyed having the extra point of damage against a lot of minions, especially troggs and spirit wolves when facing aggro shaman, or acolytes of pain.
Edit: I've updated my stats, above, after having gotten in more games. The deck has started to play closer to 50/50. My initial success against discard lock seems to be a fluke as that is where most of my losses are coming from now. The overwhelming early board presence is just a little bit too hard to weather. I'm still having very good luck against Shaman of all variety at this point.
I ended up removing the N'zoth package as it just wasn't coming into play very often. It seems like it would be a good setup to have if you were playing more control decks, but frankly, I've only run into 1 or 2, so it ends up being a bit of dead weight. I've added back in Deathwing for a panic button board clear and dropped the dragon lord from the list. By doing that I've been able to fit in two slams on top of the two bashes and that early removal seems to be helping with consistency so far against more aggro oriented decks.
The deck looks good! It would be nice to see a full guide :)
After played a bit at rank 11, I find it very hard to play against hunter. Any tips?
Hunter will always be the worst matchup for control warrior
This is me registering my interest in a full guide
