What control deck are you using?
I've had to make tweaks to deal with a lot of aggro meta.
Caved and bought the 50 pack pre order.
That said, playing rogue now. Not played that since early beta (since before they added "wins" to it, since I only have 4 wins or somesuch). Not netdecking (still never used a net deck), but probably close to an oil rogue. Fun when the burst damage combo kicks in.
Trouble I have is that my early game isn't very good. Very rare to get coin ringleader, and while every rogue I play ever has backstab immediately, I get to turn 10 and beyond without ever seeing it constantly. I think I am lacking some early game minions.

Lol, it's not that I haven't looked. I am just missing the key elements to nearly every net deck there is. 50 packs I have bought now make my total purchases 65 (+ both expansions). IE: I don't have any key legendary for any deck. Don't even have Dr. Boom, though I am saving up dust for it by using gold for Arena and dusting packs.
That said, I do enjoy the taven brawls where I can put together decks myself. Because every deck that I do use, while not net decks, are close to it as I tend to make things close to what I see Forsen, Trump or Amaz use.

The core elements of oil rogue are cheap, I think the most expensive thing in the deck is the 2 preps.

You can replace Edwin with shade and Thalnos with geomancer in oil rogue. It's a fun deck..when it works (too reliant on having Blade Flurry early).

I dont netdeck control warrior since Ive played it so much. I tech'd in Revenge recently and it has helped against aggro in multiple ways... the 1 dmg aoe is great for gaining armor with armorsmiths and the 3x dmg can clear a board pretty much. I also run Baron Geddon for late game clear and I replaced Nefarian with Ragnaros recently to also help deal with the board. Think my only loss yesterday was to an eboladin and maybe a hunter? I forget, but I won almost all my games going from 11 to 5. I only played against 1 Eboladin though.. I was ready to tech in Blood Knight if I hit anymore. That shit is ultra lame.
It was a nice run for sure. Main thing that works (for me) against aggro decks is to aggressively clear the board. I've been keeping Execute/Shield Slam for the early kills. You can't let them build a board. I basically want Shield Slam/Execute/Weapons/Taskmaster in my hand. Throw back everything else. Shield Block/Acolytes/Belchers are all too slow. Keep Harrison vs Hunter and Patron. You dont want card draw vs Eboladins

Not sure that's a bug. 2 damage kills dragonling, spawns new one then the freeze happens.

Why no Emperor in that deck? You must obviously feel the other cards are more important. Would you mind explaining a little bit?
I was running this control warrior deck today with pretty good success. Same as yours except -revenge, -geddon, -rag, +ysera, +emperor, +brawl. I don't have Geddon so typically go the double Brawl route.

I'm always baffled why a Control Warrior would run Emperor. He serves no purpose. After 6 Mana Warrior is more likely to have unspent mana then not and Warrior has no mana intensive combos to rely upon.
Emperor excels in Combo decks: Patron/Freeze/Combo Druid.
You don't need Emperor in a Control deck that typically only plays 1 minion at a time.
Also, I was running 2x Brawl last week but removed 1 for Revenge.

Eh, having played with and without him, he's actually pretty good against aggro if you aren't already getting overrun. If they kill him, then he still accelerated your mana and absorbed at least 5 damage, if they leave him up you can trade favorably and keep getting accelerated into your late game. He isn't crucial to the deck, but he does serve more than one purpose.

Whatever works I guess, I still wont run him unless my deck somehow has a lot more 8 & 9 mana cards or has a combo.
Emperor can only speed up placing 8+ mana stuff 1 turn sooner, which would happen so infrequently imo.
You're giving up Baron Geddon for Emperor I guess? In the current meta I really love my Geddon. You can get by without him for sure... run 2x Brawls or something, but he helps so much. He's another BGH target which I actually like since it means I have 5 BGH targets and 4 will need to be dealt with the hard way. Geddon will usually get value the turn he's played and has the least amount of health so I prefer if they BGH him over any of the others.
Was 1 win from Rank 4 last night and hit a wall of Priests. 3 of them... went 1-2. Fuck Priests.
