Last month I hit legend from rank 3 with only 2 losses with this deck .It's a really underrated option for the format.
Here are the stats for this month (rank 11 => legend):
As you can see it's a real aggro shaman crusher. So If you face many aggro shaman then go with this with ease instead of CW, because it doesn't auto lose against other match ups. Still don't understand how it does so well against Jade Druid. Only Advice that I can give (also against Jade Shaman): wait for the Golem that comes AFTER Aya for playing Deathwing. If you can maintain tempo every turn, than this play gives you a mostly guaranteed win.
Blood to Ichor gives a better option against 4 health minions like Totem Golem in early game without giving up field presence.
Would you mind writing a more in-depth guide? Thanks a lot, the deck seems to work great
any good replacement for patches?
Take a look at his record vs pirate warr/agro shaman (combined 36-10 record). It in fact doesn't "need" to be like them to dominate.
Having played dragon warrior to legend multiple times, I can say this build is slower than the normal build against aggro. Therefore it's worse against aggressive shaman + warrior. The normal version cuts deathwing and Grommash for a better early curve. It outperforms this deck as it gets more consistent mulligan and draws against aggro.
With that said, his stats are anecdotal and the sample size is not enormous. There is still RNG in mulligan and draws. Deathwing and Grommash are dead cards against aggressive decks. If the author never or rarely draw these cards early in the match up, then it's like playing the normal dragon warrior build. The deck also relies on curve and synergy. If i get play on curve, have a pirate on turn 1 and/or have alex champion activated on turn 2, my chances in winning increases dramatically.
The inclusion of grommash and deathwing is to better the match ups against midrange and control decks. It does not better your chances against aggro.
Marti is getting a lot of downvotes, but well some of his points are valid. I don't get what Garrosh is doing in this deck as well and Deathwing has so far been mostly a dead card. Ofcourse most of this deck is really doing well but so do some other Pirate Dragon decks like for example http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/721215-s34-oranges-legend-dragon-warrior-gadgetzan
I like this deck better than Orange's version but well there is some debate I guess.
edit: ok the first time I played Deathwing, my opponent conceded while at 23 health. He can stay.
No doubt he high rolled like crazy with this deck to get 68% win rate. I play Orange's build which has 2 cards different, Rag instead of Gromm and Execute instead of Blood to Ichor and realistic win rate of this deck is 50% from my experience.
Love dragon warrior, has been a favorite of mine for a while, but i just haven't had any luck getting it to work... that is until i came upon this deck, this is very fun to play, and i'm ranking up at a steady pace, so thank you for this deck.
I played about 7 games, 2 of which i lost, one was to a mid-range shaman who healed himself almost entirely, the other to a reno priest who just got luckier than i did.
overall, great deck, i plan to keep using it. Thanks again.
also i removed 1 slam for an execute and its helped me a little more.
Kabal Courier so you can RNGeezus Twisting Nether. KIK
I love when people downvote sarcastic posts. Rofl. It was obviously a joke.
Use your minions, this is not a face deck. You don't need to just pass through taunts. You need to establish board dominance as any other dragon deck if possible curvestomp your opponent to death. You have high value minions for their mana slots. This deck is more midrange with slight aggro flavor than pure face. Pirate package is just to seize the game from the very start. Hope that helps.
Not enough weapons?!? Are you new to the game or something? Look at shaman.... They run only 4 weapon as well and still have small times and look how fucking good that deck is....
Do you find that only seven dragons is not enough? I'm running a similar list but instead of Grommash Hellscream and Blood To Ichor I have two Faerie Dragon. Thanks for the list though, trying it out now.
