No heh, I was worried about OP buggin out on a card with a death rattle that was eaten by a battle cry.
What's the new version? I'm still running the 2nd version (less Legendary heavy, uses only 1 armor smith, 2 Kor'Krons but still relies on Alex + Gromm as a finisher). The only major change I've made to it is to swap out the Faceless for Loatheb. Faceless is one of those cards where he just feels like dead weight to me too often where Loatheb is usually a strong play. Even if they run Zoo (i.e. practically not spells), he's still a 5/5 body for 5 mana.
Something like this
Played a lock last night with my rogue who tried that crap with the void terrors. His problem was I had 2 saps in my hand. He basically cleared his board for me. I agree though that it seems warlock more than any other class, if you don't draw perfect (or pretty close to it) odds are you are going to lose against them.
I'm more worried by the bajillion Priest decks that will start to appear... God I hate Priests...
The difference between Curi's board control deck and Reynad's Zoo was like 4-6 cards (minus Blood Imp, Argent Commander, add in Shield Bearer and Doomguard for the first iteration I think). And they were considered completely different decks, for different metas/card balance points. At 30 cards, changing 4 is substantial. Hunters having a strong turn 1 and turn 2 play (Webspinner, Haunter Creeper) also makes a big difference for them. Before River Croc was the only strong turn 2 play and you couldn't justify running more than 1. It basically brought beast Hunter back to the ladder. These are new things.
I made up something similar based on that list and my first match was a Zoo deck that I grabbed, turned upside down and spanked really hard. I read a couple of analyses of the new Control Warrior and it seems that Geddon has really fallen out of favor but that's something I disagree with. I never really expect him to survive more than 1 turn but when played right, he's going to clear the enemy side of minions and he HAS to be dealt with. You cannot ignore Geddon so even after wiping the board he's going to draw removal of some sort. I get why they don't like him (he's slow and vulnerable to a lot) but I still think he's an integral part of Control Warrior.
I looked at making a deck with these but it fell pretty flat (a lot of that is on me I'm sure). Not sure what class works best? Maybe Druid? Priest has some notable omissions you would have to make (what I was trying).
He counters about half (and has the potential to backfire on your own deck if you don't plan accordingly). But I think his real problem is that other than his passive ability, he's just not that good. I tried to run him in a deck once for the purpose of countering Zoo and he just didn't work out. Even if it took two minions to kill him due to the 4 health, his 1 attack meant that nothing really died against him. So Zoo would kill him off and then go about pooping out minions.
