Hey guys,
The video says it all! I think we've reached Lynessa's Final Form! :) More description in the video, please take a look and let me know what you think!
*EDIT* I have made a few edits to the deck following the nerfs patch. I have added a couple of strong control utility cards with heavy card draw to help cycle to spells quicker. Buffing Lynessa more allows us to reallocate some of the "greed" cards like the drakes to some better midrange options to help ensure we get to the late game. Finally, I have replaced 1 Primalfin Champion with The Voraxx and would you believe that its not only fun, but feeling strong in this deck? Spells cast by The Voraxx do not double proc from the plant, but the plant spawns really give you a big "free" board to deal with before your Lynessa comes down.
+1 Wickerflame Burnbristle -2 Rallying Blade
+2 Corpsetaker -2 Primordial Drake
+1 Lay on Hands -1 Primalfin Champion
+1 Harrison Jones -1 Corridor Creeper
+1 The Voraxx

As always, if you play the deck please let me know how it runs for you! I'd love to hear your feedback! :)

Fun to play but you will lose almost 100% of the time to standard priest with shadowreaper. You simply can't outheal or outvalue the 0-cost hero power.
This deck needs the quest. I added a dinosize instead of one plated beetle and the quest. Seems to work!
Hey everyone,
First of all, thank you to everyone! We got the deck to the front page of HearthPWN and that is no small feat for an unknown deck creator like me. I appreciate you all giving my deck a chance. :)
I have some interesting developments with some minor revisions that have been paying off big, and I will be posting those up in the next couple of days along with some gameplay video on my YouTube channel, (link will be provided in the guide above). In general, we are getting better against aggro in the early game and getting a bit better in the late game as well with a few trade offs....more on that soon! :)
A big thank you also goes out Kiwinbacon for highlighting this deck on his Youtube channel! That was very entertaining gameplay and I love the final play with the max proc. Lynessa....that was cool. :)
For those asking for replacements for Wickerflame Burnbristle or Lynessa Sunsorrow i have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that with the revisions I will be posting up soon, I don't feel Wickerflame Burnbristle is as necessary as it used to be (spoiler, it has been removed in the upcoming decklist). The bad news is that I don't think this deck works without the Lynessa Sunsorrow, as at that point I would be suggesting so many changes that I would just center the deck around other concepts...for example I may remove the spells completely and put in control tools but that gets so different in all the game power spikes that it would take a complete rebuild to explore and would ultimately result in a new deck altogether.
I also just want to thank everyone who has taken the time to watch my deck breakdown video, don't worry, the next video will have closer to an 8 minute deck breakdown with gameplay video and should be a lot of fun! :)
Regards to all,

You would need the Lynessa Sunsorrow to run this particular deck, but you can get away with a replacement for Val'anyr. That said, I would caution that I think Val'anyr is the better overall card and will be in more Paladin builds so take that into consideration if you are needing to choose which to craft. I wish the deck wasn't so expensive lol, but it takes what it takes. :)
For the time being I would suggest running Truesilver Champion, but stay tuned and see if you prefer some of the upcoming deckbuild options I will be posting in the next couple of days.
I find this deck intressting, can you replace Lynessa Sunsorrow by any chance?
Hello, I can replace Wickerflame Burnbristle with another Saronite Chain Gang ?
Probably Tar Creeper for the curve.
Tried this today and it has been a lot of fun so far. As i didn't have Sunkeeper Tarim, i threw in The Lich King as replacement, and it's been working out quite good as well. His cards add nice utility and he is a good bait to burn removal on, so that Lynessa Sunsorrow gets through :P
Thanks.
This deck is something that I have been trying to make work for the past couple weeks and I have been having a lot of fun with this iteration. I recommend giving it a try if you haven't already you will definitely not regret it. I made a video showcasing the deck in action which I hope you all enjoy of course!
I was actually experimenting with this archetype for a while now. But I have been stuck at rank 4.
Going to try this version to see if it can help me climb. But I am swapping hydrologist for dirty rat (I know you can use hydrologist to get secrets to bounce back Tirions making N'Zoth stronger, but dirty rat is good against aggro.) I am also not sure about potion of heroism too since I have a lot of draw from call to arms, and loot hoarder.
Beyond card draw, Potion of Heroism gives Lynessa a shield, which is pretty valuable.
Does N'zoth summon Lynessa after she has spikeridge steed buff?? If so GG
Yeah, I learned that the hard way. LOL.
I just wanted to say thank you for making and sharing this deck. I haven't played a ton of games with the deck but it feels VERY strong and most importantly (for me at least) it's a lot of fun! I just played against a priest that silenced 3 of my minions, and mind controlled my heavily buffed Lynessa, yet I still managed to win. Kudos to you for coming up with a deck outside of the norm. Paladin decks are usually my least favorite but I'm loving this one! :-D
Dragon, thank you so much for taking the time to give me your feedback! I am really glad you are enjoying the deck. I have found silence is not that big of a deal against this deck as you have more "silence targets" than they will have silences....Tirion Fordring, Lynessa Sunsorrow, Spikeridge Steed and even Val'anyr, to name a few... Make sure to take a look at the YouTube video for an indepth breakdown of the many combo opportunities in the deck! :)

Hello Testdr1ve, since I somehow can't post new reply and I am not able to find out why, I am forced to go to add my question here. Please teach me master, how do you win against new warlock decks? It's the only thing that is beating my ass off now. Else I really enjoy this deck, I love making and playing big minions over and over again, but there are too much of new warlocks and I can't get through their double huge wall + when I get to late game, I can't use my N'Zoth, the Corruptor cuz they smash me with hero power, make me draw through hoarders and I am out anyway.. Cheers for any tips, how to deal with that and thank you for this very fun deck. I missed something like that :)) Keep up the good work.
Thanks For the feedback Bomb, glad to hear your enjoying the deck! Cube lock is a tough matchup unfortunately but I have made some adjustments which I am play testing and indeed just beat a cubelock deck in the late stage of the game with a key N’Zoth which bought back 2 Tirions... I had to bait out his Twisting Nether first but play your Sunkeeper Tarim well and you have the board pressure with your buffs to make the Warlock play reactively and win in the late game young Padawan haha.
Stay tuned for my update in the next couple of days though as I think it may even help in the Cubelock matchup. :)
I play this deck with some changes, i put in Dirty Rats instead of Hydrologist (better pull with call to arms vs aggro and better draw against priest), one Rallying Blade and one Aldor Peacekeeper instead of Wickerflame and Zola.
Just went from rank 5 to rank 4 with one loss only, will update how far it gets me. =)
I did the same, subbing in Dirty Rat for Hydrologist. The reason was that I was getting killed by aggro decks. Lynessa and N'Zoth don't do you much good if you never get to play them. A Rallying Blade might also be a good idea since this deck doesn't really have much in the way of removal.
