This is exactly the sort of hilarious and then super useful post I'm thrilled to see posted at what, for me is stupid early in the morning. I spent quite a good moment's time just imagining the look on anyone's face who came across "Beefy War" out of nowhere while checking GUdecks.
Whoever at GU who was goofy/bold enough to go with that for the archetype name def deserves some props!
Props also to you for the very useful breakdown of what makes this archetype tick and be unique enough to be more then a typical aggro build. Very handy to have the deck analysis paired with conclusions made after actually giving it a go for a decent run of games.
I haven't personally gotten into War much yet, other then some rather unsuccessful attempts at making Bearstriders work. Not being able to command ranks of hyped-up warriors riding bears into battle was so sad I had to take a break from War for a while.
I do however hear people asking for solid info on War stuff all the time so now I've got a good place to send them!
