Hi guys,
I have only hit legend once but have reached rank 5+ consistently for the past 2 years or so, just to give you some info about my level of skill.
This is the first deck I've ever made myself completely from scratch, control paladin has always been one of my favorite archetypes to play and with some of the new kobold cards, I thought I'd give playing around the spellstones/djinn/the darkness a shot.
So far with the current deck list I am 7-3 at rank 5 NA, will keep updated as I play it more this week. I doubt it will be top tier, but it definitely seems like a viable deck that can deal/out fatigue a lot of the other control decks out there, and is an alternative to the more aggro style call to arms pally decks out there at the moment. This deck is mostly just for fun if you want to try something a bit different.
A lot of cards can be switched out, but this deck list is what I'm having the most success with so far. I'd say the most important cards in the deck are the darkness (win cd vs control), DK uther(win cd vs control), with equality, consecration, wild pyromancer for zoo) since I'm going for a heavy control deck with heals.
This deck is mostly just a "for fun" control deck, I have no idea what its viability is looking like for climbing. This deck is also super expensive, but a lot of swaps can be made especially for the higher end legendaries.
Please feel free to leave any suggestions, I am very new to building decks myself and don't mind any constructive criticism!

I've been looking for an alternative way to play Paladin since I'm sick of the aggro / murloc lists and the lynessa / buff list isn't that appealing to me. I really want to see a Control Paladin list flourish in the meta, sadly I just don't think that right now is the right time for it. Good luck! I hope you come back and let us know how the deck is performing. I like your list and I'm running a slightly altered version with Actionmaster Beardo / Burgly Bully for one shotting Warlocks / Priests / Quest Mages. I also added Wickerflame Burnbristle and a single Grook Fu Master to enable the Corpsetakers to their full potential.
Changes I made:
I removed the Hydrologist, Hammer of Wrath, Truesilver Champion, Blackguard, Ragnaros, Lightlord, Coldlight Oracle, The Darkness, and Elise Trailblazer.
In their place I put Potion of Heroism x2, Auctionmaster Beardo, Wickerflame Burnbristle, Burgly Bully x2, Grook Fu Master, Lynessa Sunsorrow.
It's been doing great vs. aggro with all the healing from Djinn, Chillblade, Corpsetaker but it's falling behind other control lists as setting up the oneshot with Beardo takes so long.
nice deck no aggro crap i plus 1 :)
Any replacements for some of the legendarys.
Elise and Lich King are raw value, Ebonblade and Lightlord are for healing, Darkness and Tirion are late game win cons. Taurim is... unique
I was thinking about how this might be a good card in control paladin. The Darkness really screws with Kazakus Raza type decks, and that was what I was having issues last season when I busted out my control pally. Just looking at this and I was thinking it might be smart to tech some weapon removal.
