Puts enough pressure that using weapons to clear their minions is not always desirable and they put big enough threats that you wince when you take some face damage. With their hero power you can't use your hero power to recover the damage.
That said it's not that bad of a match up especially if you are playing the faster a Warrior variant, in that case it's pretty much evenish. It's the slower Warrior decks that struggle against Midrange Hunters.
Most of the minions are not as squishy as those found in Aggro Decks and Hunter has a lot of removal options. Also Call of the wild helps to refill your board after getting Brawled out, and cards like Highmane drop additional bodies on death. Those are the things that I have noticed playing Hunter vs Warrior.

Warriors old nemesis was mid range Paladin. Mid range hunter now benefits similarly with minions and abilities that come back on the board in a big way. Warriors struggle at coming back against decks that can continue to put out a spread of threats consistently. Brawl is also not terribly effective against hunter since they will have probably already pushed damage with whatever you have to brawl or the 6/5 turns into 2 2/2s with a call of the wild to followup for 13+ damage.
ayy lmao. they are two rags on board for this renolock and I'm at 4 hp he's at 21. I play yogg, animation was playing (it was looong), I could tell I can attack with yogg and neither of rags are dead, worst yogg ever, but then I pointed at my opponent, he's dead! It buffed itself to 17 and charge then pyro in the face. seems like a good card. yogg decks are the only playable decks to me right now, the ladder is nonsense and boring otherwise.
Haha!

The game client thinks my 3 year old account is new...
"standard, a new way to play!"
"You got enough for a pack, head to the shop!"
I wish it came with the starting quests lol.

Toast's video is a parody of fake leaks more than anything. If anything it is a demonstration of what a fake leak video looks like so people can learn to identify them in the future. He searches for a single card and never mouses over the new art at any point. That's how you know what a fake is.

I've gone back to running 2 sinister strikes in malygos rogue and it's working way better than what most or many lists which is 1.
I'm also running evolved kobold instead of xaril because hitting 3 damage aoe with fan of knives is pretty neat, plus it's like an alternative win condition to malygos. Obviously not as powerful but can also be used in tandem with other spell power minions if they survive a round or perhaps thalnos in hand. Shadowstrike for 7, backstab for 4, eviscerate for 6, sinister strike for 5. Good for board control and as a finisher. Kind of underrated card tbh.
current list
I don't think I've ever lost to control warrior with double sinister strike in the past.

Deal 28 damage for 1 mana, balanced.
I had a 10/10 van cleef earlier. Dude slammed and top decked execute, otherwise he was fucked. There is a reason warrior is disgustingly overplayed atm.
Yeah Warrior currently has a viable aggro, tempo, control and combo deck.

Technically a viable aggro, two viable tempos, two viable controls and two viable combos.
Edit: Most ridiculous tempo swing ever.

last night i got hallazeal after a druid mulched a minion
shield slam then did 10 damage and healed me for 10
Very consistently because of all the removal, King's Elek likely drawing it, and Call of the Wild being an easy way to catch up and provide pressure on turn 8.

also for that great freeze mage vs otk discussion the other day, here's LOK otk vs a freeze mage https://secure.twitch.tv/lokshadow/v/78826532?t=03h25m45s
I think LOKShadow's OTK deck is more favored there because he runs double armorsmith and patrons which allows for much bigger armor gain than the pure OTK deck.
Either way drawing the game to fatigue is the only way to beat freeze mage unless they have insanely bad draws.

Could the mage have won in that match?

lol, nice name for the card, too.
I appreciate that on turn 2 he armors instead of dropping Armorsmith. You have to combo that stuff!

Every time I lose to locknload hunter it's because yogg hits it out the of the park. This time, dude is down to 1 card and manages to clear my board and fill his hand max, cabalists tome, sprint, and he even got a convert... on my reno.
Disgusting.

Is it crazy to think shield slam should use up armor?

that facecam haha
Actually, prior to Shield Slam, there was a Warrior card that equated armor to attack power.
Shield Slam replaced it.
Yeah I took that deck to rank 5. I love young priestess
Is he triple legend already? He was just Asia legend a few days ago I thought. Must be playing a lot now that he's done with school. Not even sure I'll hit rank 15 at my average of 2 games a day. That guy is a machine at this game. Helps that his decks are fun to play.

Got Ysera from my brawl pack. Been wanting her for a really long time. Now I just have to figure out a deck to put her in.

I just BM'd a face warrior who just literally ignored my board, went face and lost because of it.
Then he sent me an invite. I was feeling particularly ire'd already so I accepted and said "u mad? lol"
He laughed and asked if I wanted to do the friend quest with him cause he had no friends to do it with.

Does it show draws and board state etc.? Otherwise HS decktracker is way better.
Here is an example but for some reason it's showing me in the enemy position, must be a new bug:
In the first week or so of WOG, I was running Freeze Mage with one copy of Evolved Kobold. The combo potential was so amazing that I stopped running Malygos or Antonidas, they simply didn't improve my win percentage any more.

Speaking of druid, they made off like bandits in this expansion. Yeah, they lost a card or two or three, but fandral could easily be a 5 or 6 mana minion (higher stats sure) with that text. He basically synergizes with druid's core mechanic... so what were they thinking of when they put him at 4, which is basically 3 for druid due to wild growth.
Fandral + living roots + potw... It's pretty disgusting tbh. Same deal with violet teacher of course.
Then look at Rogue. Lose their best AOE with no replacement in sight; they only get maybe 1 decent spell and an okay but balanced legendary.
Yeah, I'm pretty salty tonight
Yoggsaron is probably rogue's best board clear.
