What in the new set will help counter Patron Warrior? Dr. Boom? Tempo Face?

Also now that the cards are released, who's theorycrafting some decks?

Patron just silence it if he doesn't get more on the board right away or clear it off the board with 3+ damage spell

It's an OTK...
Or you can clear the board and you're still at 3 health..

Hunter has some options like Bear Trap, freezing trap, snipe
pally has repentance, which can also be used alongside Noble sacrifice
Mage has Ice Barrier, Ice Block, Spellbender (if they use inner rage), Counterspell, Vaporize

and these are just options for dealing with it should it end having been a potentially successful OTK

if not successful there are many more options and hell just having a taunt or 2 on the board can stop it/slow it down

Those block 1 patron and you still get hit by 2x 20 damage frothings.

It's the dominating deck and the cards you're suggesting obviously aren't counters or they would be getting used successfully.

Bear Trap will stop 1, freezing will stop 1, snipe will kill the first thing played that turn whether it's warsong or patron or berserker
if repentance hits patron or warsong it can slow it down greatly or even prevent it depending how they spawn more patrons
Ice Block will save you for an entire turn which can be enough to flamestrike the opponent's board
Vaporize will just murder whatever he throws at your face first, Counterspell can slow down his spawning of patrons and buffing berserkers, Spellbender can take one of his targetted spells he uses on any of them

looking again at new cards there is also chillmaw a 6/6 taunt that does 3 damage to all minions upon death, aka dead patrons and likely berserker(s) too
Bolf Ramshield can save you from at least 9 damage
if you survive and have a magnataur on the board (warrior card) , you can kill 3 minions, this also works with Foe Reaper
a Shaman's Elemental Destruction will also do enough damage to clear
Brawl and Enter the Collisseum can be good choices if you live through it
Acidmaw+Dreadscale would wipe them off the board assuming the board was full
