Hello all!
So here is my silly divine shield paly deck. I had the privilege of Kiwiinbacon to try it on his twitch stream (https://www.twitch.tv/kiwiinbacon) and @ rank 5 he wants 6-2. With that, the community decided they wanted a guide, sooooo here it is!
Mulligan:
- Light's Sorrow is the card you would always want to keep as it gives you the most benefit.
- Other low cost cards like Righteous Protector and Argent Squire help keep rush decks under control.
- If it is a mid-range deck then holding on to Blood Knight makes for good lulz.
- Divine Favor is also worth hanging on to if you are playing against a heavy mid-range meta more often than not. Holding on to it does not really help much if they are just throwing out cards like a lonely grandma on Halloween.
"But tiki, Light's Sorrow and bolvar,fireblood are poop, can I replace them with "better" cards":
These cards traditionally do not see much play, and sure, there are other cards that may work. They have worked well with this deck as the combination of other cards (and the lack of weapon removal in the meta) make both these cards viable. If you want to swap them out, I would consider the following:
KingCarnage recommended a Crystology. This can help with card draw for sure.
You can also consider Leeroy Jenkins because at least he has chicken
I am also toying with the idea of adding Crystalsmith Kangor and Flash of Light to maintain health and add card draw while still persisting the divine shield mechanic
Here is the 1:1 replacement using the cards above:
Light's Sorrow - 1 | Equality +1 (original and current iteration)
Light's Sorrow - 1 | Crystology +1
Bolvar, Fireblood -1 | Leeroy Jenkins +1
OR
Bolvar, Fireblood -1 Light's Sorrow - 1 | Crystalsmith Kangor +1 Flash of Light +1
OR
Bolvar, Fireblood -1 Light's Sorrow - 2 | Crystalsmith Kangor +1 Flash of Light +1 Leeroy Jenkins +1
Other notes:
- The nice thing about divine shield is that Hex and Polymorph trigger Light's Sorrow so no need to worry about that, but silence is the lame thing this time.
- Unless you have an abundance of Silver Hand Recruit's on the board, most of your secrets are safe to play, with the ideal cards to play them with are your mechs (Zilliax and Annoy-o-Module).
- Unless you know your opponent has a silence, using Desperate Stand on things like Zilliax, Annoy-o-Module, and Bolvar, Fireblood seem to work out best. Also, if you do add Leeroy Jenkins, you have the ability to clear some pesky taunts by playing him and throwing on Desperate Stand to roll out 12 damage (in theory, I have not tried it yet but would love for you to let me know in the comments if it works for you!)
I will add more guides on here if everyone wants it :)
Kiwiinbacon created a fun video showcasing how this deck works and interacts with the current meta. Divine shield is just a fun mechanic and can really throw a wrench (no pun...intended?) into some matches!
I would highly recommend checking out his YT channel and his twitch stream as he tries out viewers decks and has fun doing it!

I made a similar deck during the start of Boomsday back when Giggling Inventor was 5 mana. Inventor into Blood Knight with Light's Sorrow was sick.
pardon me for asking, but what exactly is the win condition in this deck?
No pardon needed! first thing to note, this is not an OTK deck. This deck is very much designed to be a nuisance to your opponent while continuing to maintain board presence due to divine shield soaking up a log of the RNG in the current meta. Lights sorrow makes it even more fun when you can get it to be 10+ dmg with 4 charges. If you draw lights sorrow and are playing against a mid-range/slow oppnent, i would just hero power till you can get lights sorrow out and then just play minions and secrets in a way that will keep your board present with divine shield. I wouldnt expect this to be meta breaking, but you will have fun watching you 1/1 and 1/2 minions holding strong allowing you other minions to chip away at your opponent
The game isn't about good and bad, the game is about having fun while coming up with combinations of cards that, in the end, either synergize well against your opponent or not. Do some not work out? Certainly. Do some work out? Certainly. Your comment just sucks the fun out of the game and drives people away from enjoying it. Stay positive my friend, you'll be happier if you do
Good for you man! Deck making is my favorite part of HS. I love to see peoples enthusiasm and creativity in their deck building. Very cool!
Its funny, I was just thinking about how good Divine Shield is in this meta right now. I have been making Paladin decks, and many DS ones, so I just had to say right on to you!]
Thank you! I am proud to share your enthusiasm!
I swear to god Blizzard is going to keep printing different versions of Bolvar that just never get played. He was never played in GvG and he was never played in this form. However, both times the flavour was on point.
Next year he'll reincarnate as "Bolvar, Lich King" and look incredibly cool, but have a The Darkness-like effect where he stays Frozen for most of the game until you manage to meet the insane conditions required to thaw him out. Can't wait.
This deck is horrible
play the game to enjoy it, not to hate it
why only one corpsetaker?
Just preference really. It doesnt work well with the revive mechanic since it gets its awesomeness from the battlecry but you should try out two and let me know how it works out for you! Id like to know :P
lol lights sorrow is ass but you should run a crytology.
Crystology will certainly work as a Light's Sorrow replacement if you want to try it out! let me know how it goes! I think holding on to 1 Light's Sorrow will still benefit you if you can draw it!
This might seem weird at first but it really takes people by surprise and that is super satisfying.
Here's a Highlight video for this deck, I really hope you all enjoy :D (especially that last game !!)
Disgusting leech, get off this site. You are shitposting garbage all over this platform and advertise your crap videos everywhere you go. OP makes a deck, you steal it and abuse it for views. Fuck off.
Kiwi asked me if he could make a video. I agreed. What is disgusting is the way you jumped to a completely unfactual statement in attempt to belittle a guy who is showing casing hearthstone in a fun manner. Sorry you cannot enjoy fun things, maybe you will some day
Thank you again kiwi for the video!
