I completed the quest about dealing 65 dmg and this mfker still had 3 health, 17 armor and blast shield was up next. I’m sorry but having to fight through a LITERAL boss with huge taunt minions is ridiculous. If I don’t win before turn 8 it’s over. And if I play some combo deck I get matched with a hunter and die by turn 5.
Also warlock has the best healing in standard.
AND Shaman is in top 3 when it comes to resource generation.
Mage has turn 4 8/8’s on turn 5.
Murloc pally is a big gamble. Noone feels good after a vs murloc pally match. If pally wins the other guy feels like crap and if the enemy has a board clear the pally gets saltier than me.
We all know what wild is like.
And what does blizzard do to balance the game? Sends 2 basic cards to wild.

Clearly you have very little experience in this game because I can name many more decks that laugh at warrior as warrior has 0 chance at winning against them.
In no order of oppressiveness:
Any zuljin hunter especially with brann and zyphyrs (one of the most broken cards every printed) and bomb hunter especially if they have the quest.
Mech quest paladin-summoning giants every single turn that further summon other giants…oh what’s that board full of mechs that summon giant mechs if you kill them…oh wait undertakah summons 3 more giants mechs when he dies? oh you also copied the turn you summoned him? Want more? Here’s a spell that summons 3 more mechs with all their buffs and you can copy one of them when they are summoned!
Shaman murloc, prismatic lens murloc paladin…
Any conjurer mage and the list goes on and on…
I’m sorry but I don’t have enough money to craft decks that cost 10k+ dust, nor have I pre-purchased any bundles. Don’t think I haven’t seen all these decks. Mech quest pally is what I’m collecting resources for, zul’jin hunter is like 14k dust.
The deck I was playing with was murloc shaman. As I said I got him to 3 health and then he cleared the board, and got 12 armor next turn. I filled my board again and what do I hear: LIGHT THE FUSES
2 times in a turn. Pls dont pull some decks from your a*s (hsreplay) that just counter warrior, there is a counter for every deck, but that’s not the point.
Interesting how that always occurs isn’t it?
Dr. Boom says hello. This card alone is the most extreme control tool in Standart right now.
Even in wild there are only 2 control tools that are even in the same league: Jaina and Rexxar and both are highly debated cards already. In Standart Boom doesn’t even have to share.
Yet in Wild Baku Warrior is still fringe.
This is why Boom CANNOT ber nerfed. If it needs to be nerfed it should just be rotated as Warrior in Wild needs it
After playing many of the new (more like old decks with some new cards) these past 2 days I can tell you I wish all my opponents were warrior. There are so many far more oppressive decks out there that I feel against warrior I actually have a chance compared to many of the rest.
Ah, another uninformed opinion.
a) That’s no reason at all to not nerf Boom
but
b) I’d say you’re right. He’s not more or less oppressive in wild than Jaina or Rexxar but that’s the thing: He just doesn’t belong in Standart because he has no competition in that format.
I’m not agreeing, yet, that Control Warrior is oppressive as it was essentially ‘refined’ early in the meta as it just needed “bolted on” parts but…
- r5 - Legend past 3 days is 56.2% along with Combo Priest (tied for 1st)
So it is obvious that while Control Warrior might have hard counters, just like in RoS, it is still obviously quite strong in it’s role.
Yep, he was designed to compete with Jaina, Rexxar, and Gul’Dan but… now you only have Hagatha that really pushes the same amount of long-term power.
No, she doesn’t (I don’t own here, I’m no Hagatha fanboy ;-)). She is VERY good but she only delivers as long as you have minions and she doesn’t have a passive that upgrades your entire deck by giving you a free legendary treasure (the one that gives all your minions rush) if you play mechs. What she does is way more random and can backfire much harder.
[CITATION NEEDED]
Her pool of spells right now though is REALLY high value. Hagatha + Shudderwock can push Control Warrior into a stalemate (I’ve done it a ton) so while I do agree she is a bit lower Shaman has other high value tools that I think equalizes the decks against each other.
And Zuljin is also not really fine because even repeating all your secrets is too much of a swing-turn for one card IN MY OPINION. But the fact is that Boom annoys most people because neither Zuljin nor Hagatha feel like auto-inclusions in almost any decktype of their class right now (because warrior has no real aggro deck right now and the quest is heavily underplayed eventhough it can be pretty fun).
But yes, all 3 need to rotate together and then they have to lay that legendary hero thing to rest.
Be weary, there is an Aggro Warrior deck I’ve been playing. We’ll need to see how the meta settles, etc. but it felt quite good and r5 - L it is sitting at a 54% WR (rounded). Hilariously, reborn works REALLY well with Frothing Berserker and that 3/3 copy minion is quite strong:

It might be more refined than this now. I don’t build aggro decks, I suck at building them, so I haven’t tweaked or messed with it at all.
I already heard that Restless Mummy is exploding in popularity. Who would have thought that not wanting to stay in your grave can be so valuable.
Removing everything is warriors class identity. As little as druid has removal,so much has warrior.
With new spell and brawl they can remove full boards 4 times in a game. Then there is shieldslam,execute,devastator,collider,rush minions,rush with dr boom,warpath.
You cant go wrong with warrior,it has never been this fun lol.
I have yet to understand how people find purely reactionary gameplay fun.
But maybe that’s just me.
Hagatha might be ok against other control decks but against most aggro or midrange it isnt that good plus most shaman decks arent based around control so you’ll be killing your own minions too. Dr.boom is way more versatile and less random.
Sure is nice having a top tier control, aggro and even combo deck with mecha’thun all in one class.
