It's because it isn't Control Warrior, it's like a half-mix between Tempo Dragon and a few control cards. It's garbage imho.

I guess it's mainly due to the lack of DB, that does weaken Execute significantly but still...

What's tomorrow?
Regional for NA
Players are too used to playing short games with limited decisions per turn these days.
You could tell the pressure of the long game was getting to both of those players and they were making some bad decisions/plays.
Imagine if Shaman and Druid weren't broken in this format and didn't auto win a lot of their matches. We would've had more games like that in the tournament.
That Varian missplay was amazing. You don't need to think much time in order to tell that it can easily backfire.
As for the decks they were boring as hell. The expansion better be great.
Everything is arena for Kripp. Maybe he thought he drafted nefarian lol
This is when Hearthstone is actually worth watching, meaningful decisions on almost every turn where a misplay, topdick or rng roll generates hype but doesn't end the game on the spot. Hopefully Blizz don't fuck up their chance to make these games the standard.
Also many things look like a misplay when you know the decks, hands and have multiple casters analyzing the game as well.

Just had the craziest game against a Control Warrior.
I'm playing Tempo Mage, got nothing to play during the first 4 turns or so, terrible hand. He probably thought I was a Freeze Mage
Eventually we both have big hands and he handles most of my bigger threats easily: Dr. Boom and Antonidas (though I was able to get 2 fireballs off him by delaying playing him until turn 10). I was hoping my counterspell would be useful but he plays around it with the freaking Coin. I manage to contain his attacks but just barely. Eventually I get an extra frostbolt from an Ethereal Conjurer, hoping it can work as extra burst, but it looks dire.
Final turn before he's completely out of reach: I have next to nothing left in my deck and he has 23 life (10 life + 13 armor). I have a single unbuffed Mana Wyrm on the board, a frostbolt I've been saving, the one I got from the Conjurer and the 2 fireballs from Antonidas. 12 mana. And then it happens, I could almost hear the Yu Gi Oh jingle play during the final draw: Sorcerer's Apprentice. 10 exact mana. 18 from the spells in my hand + 5 damage from the buffed Mana Wyrm. Exact lethal.
I love this game.

The other guy probably threw his mouse across the room and said: I have this game.

Come on man roping out and not being able to attack with your minions or play cards because you ran out of time is certainly a misplay.

It is whenever I do it
I got a Warrior quest today and since I have most of the cards for Patron I decided to give that a shot. And wow, this deck is so consistent even without the charging Patrons from yesteryear 
it's incredible how well it survived that nerf. Also I subbed Grommash since I don't have it with Rafaam, and man did it deliver. I'm sure Grommash is a way more consistent finisher, but for quest-hunting it was more than enough and I love being able to use alternative cards like that, I had some really fun finishers.

To be fair, sometimes the animations take longer than other times. It's weird when it happens but I've seen sludge belcher take 2-3x longer to spawn the little taunt than other times.
That is one aspect of that card I will not miss when it is removed from standard.
Dragon Priest's purpose in life is to completely frustrate the hell out of aggro weenie decks. Those 2/6 taunters that control decks laugh at are like having to climb Mount Everest over and over, if you're playing something like Raptor Rogue or Egg Druid.

As a Zoolock player, Dragon Priest is a very frustrating matchup. It's part of why I run two Owls while most lock players run 3. I need to run past those taunts instead of deal with them up front.
