It’s like the purpose of the deck is to force you to sit in front of your computer screen and waste time while NOTHING happens.

Warrior’s been the most polarizing class for over a year now.

It’s honestly quite boring, and I find their gameplay very straight-forward.

Play Hunter. Warrior just cries like a little girl when they face Hunters.

So basically you’re doing nothing as well.

This playstyle only happens if the opponent is playing passively too. If you do this against Token Druid or Tempo Rogue then Warrior loses.

The irony is control warrior players think they’re tacticians who are winning by decision making and skill.

This is the only conclusion I can draw on when wondering what would possess someone with a fully functioning brain to play control warrior.

Send 'em my way, I wreck them pretty dang hard.

What deck were you playing against them?

I have to admit I failed at deck building and went way too defensive, so I had a hard time playing something as well. Oh well, Control vs. Control. Mage btw.

I don’t have an issue with Control Warrior. I lived through Patron, Pirate, Quest, Taunt, Dragon, The Damage Minions to buff/gain armor warrior, Dead Mans Hand, control warrior variants and most recently, Bomb Warrior. I’m pretty much immune to Warriors.

Honestly, I know that T3 is Warpath, T5 is Brawl, and T7 is Dr. Boom. Clear the Elekk ASAP, and you should have an easier time. Also, playing too passively hurts you in the long run. You want to be aggressive because that armor stack does not get smaller.

Summoner Mage is actually what I crush them with. The Dragon Package is one of the better ones for doing it, but I’ve also got a Kibler-inspired list that’s a lot more consistent against the aggressive decks out there while still retaining sizeable teeth VS Control.

You often encounter Warriors using a single cast of Warpath?

No, but I know that anytime after T3, it is coming. I note the mana cost and assume its happening every turn from that point on: its safer and easier for me to remember.

Fair enough. Remembering not to overextend based on what your opponent might be holding (or has [x] odds of drawing into) is a core thing.

Just because they don’t play Blizzard/Flamestrike on T6/7 does not mean they do not have it! Remember kids, just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean its not there.

I was Exodia Maged on Wild ladder (R13) but I find myself laughing at these things a little more often. I was salty when it happened so I took a break and now I just crack jokes because…

Out of all the classic packs I’ve opened, Tony is nowhere to be found!

But once I get him, I am Exodia Maging my heart out because I’ve been burned so many times. It is the circle of life, my friend. My time will come.

Good things come to those who wait.

I’ll take that over aggro any day!

Play a strong midrange or combo deck. I’ve been crushing warriors with Prelate

Yes, pure control decks focus on attrition which tends to take time to have as a win condition.

Your idea of fun does not come before my idea of fun (or visa+versa). So, as long as the strategies are not breaking the game you’ll just need to concede or learn to tolerate longer games.

I don’t care as long as it’s fun to play / play against. Control Warrior is not fun to play against.

Nope.

Control Warrior is the only deck that has a fair shot at beating both Tempo Rogue and Token Druid.

… while getting decimated by Hunters and Mech Paladins.

If anything, it’s one of the most balanced decks out right now in terms of matchups.

imagine people complaining about control warrior in 2019. Loses to token druid, mech hunter, big mage, tempo rogue, and literally all the other decks on ladder.
