Hello,Legendary EU player Brodos here.

With a GvG control paladin.I have been playing a lot of paladin in the last few weeks and i really like this deck,hope you will like it too.Paladins were always the least played class,but with GvG Trump crated the Quartered Paladin deck,with no doubts it has a lot of success but i think the this version of control Paladin is great for tournements and decent for ladder since it can often gain board control vs aggro with cards like Equality + Consecration and early game drops like Zombie Chow and Harvest Golem.But this deck really shines vs control where it can clear anythreats  with the boardclearing combo and lower the damage that you are receaving with Aldor Peacekeeper.

LAST EDIT EXPLANATIONS
Since aggro was such a problem i decided to put in 2x Muster for Battle One Acolyte of Pain is enoguh.
Loatheb didnt do enough so he got replaced with a Quartermaster for more Synergy.

Lets go through a card review.
 
1 Drops
Zombie Chow
He is the best control deck one drop,paladin really dosen't care about the opponents health since it has absolutely no rush win condition,so playing double zombie chow is just great,it wins you so many matches vs aggro it's unbelievable.

2 Drops
Ironbeak Owl
Ironbeak Owl,one of the best cards from the vanilla set since there are so many silenceable targets,from the alte game legenderies to stuff like early game minions,dont feel bad usign an owl on an Undertaker it's perfectly fine.

Loot Hoarder
As a Paladin you dont really have many cards which grant you card draw,so playing loot hoarders is really necessary.

Equality
One of the strongest class cards,gives you the ability too easyily clean your opponent's big threats and go for big tempo swings.

3 Drops
Big Game Hunter
Since this is a control deck afterall and using an equality on just a Ragnaros of something similiar isnt worth,running a BGH is really needed.

Acolyte of Pain
Same thinking proces as for Loot Hoarder card draw is the only problem of this deck(or it was) but with double Acolyte and Hoarder you can really fill your hand and prepare for the late game,it's also a decent card vs aggressive decks.

Harvest Golem
Probably the best three drop in the game,often trades two for one,he is one of the cards you want to mulligan for when playing vs zoo so you can slow down their early game rush.

Aldor Peacekeeper
Such a good card,if you ahve a strong minion and your opponent plays something to challenge it,you can just play Aldor and go face,if you do this 2 turns in a row it's almost always a big enough tempo swing to win you the game.

4 Drops
Consecration
No need to explain this card too much,great against aggro,decent vs control,if you have Equality it's just too good

Truesilver Champion
i really love this weapon its just so good,it's usually your best source of removal since it synergies well with your hero-power to kill 5 healthed minions and it heals you,great against both control and aggro.

5 Drops
Harrison Jones
After Gvg there have been a ton of new weapons all around the place,Harrison has become a staple in every control/midrange deck.

Loatheb
I'm thinking of maybe switching him with a Bomb Lobber or Spectral Knight since Miracle Rogue and Freeze Mage aren't really in the meta,but
if the meta shiftes he will definetely be here.

Sludge Belcher
A really good sticky minion he was a staple since the realese of Naxxramas and i think he will be played for a long period,he is just too good not be played,unleast one copy.

Bolvar Fordragon
I have a LOT to talk about,in the start i was not sure if i wanted to play this card,but i still gave it a try and i have to say he is working really really good! You usually dont play him on turn 5 but rather as the last big threat which evetually wins you the game,there are 2 ways you can play him.
First you can play him as a win condition,when your opponent already used all his silences and removals on your other creatures and you just drop this 15/7 minion which kills him in one turn.
Or you can play him as a 5/7 or a 6/7 because you dont have a Big Game Hunter target in the deck(except Ragnaros) so playing around it is really good.Anyways he is a really good card and i love it!

Something like this happens very often 



6 Drops
Sylvanas Windrunner
She is just so good your opponent often gives you a creature or trade 3 for one in your favor just so you dont get value out of her,she is voulnerable to silence but sicne there are many silence targets in the deck you dont really care.

The Black Knight
Almost every deck runs Sludge Belcher and if he dosent,if they run a spare part aggro deck Rusty Horn is there,so Black Knight picks up value in 95% of  matches.
7 Drops

Guardian of Kings
His effect is really important having a turn 7 and 8 Guardian Of kings vs. aggressive decks often gives you the game,.

Troggzor the Earthinator
He is a true control card,gives you multiple bodies,he is hard to deal with and he has a big body,yet not worth silencing in most cases,if he picks up a silence you are still pretty happy,so yeah..good card,i dont run Dr. Boom because i think trogg is harder to deal with,but i will definetely do some more testing.

8 Drops
Raganros The Firelord
Good ol' Rag he almost always get BGH'ed so i started looking at his effect more like "deal 8 damage to a random enemy,summon a 4/2 for the opponent your enemy discard a card" and even with that effect i like it,because in cases when he isnt dealt with you get another win condition aside from board control and Bolvar Fordragon

Tirion Fordring
One of the cards in hearthstone with so much value its just amazing,vulnerable to silence but leaving a 6/6 body is still pretty scary,a must in every paladin deck.

MULLIGAN

The mulligan is almost always the same you want to fish for the early game minions like Zombie Chow and Harvest Golem  and your card draw Loot Hoarder and Acolyte of Pain against control i keep Truesilver Champion and vs. aggro i keep Consecration i usually throw away anything else.

POSSIBLE CHANGES
Sinc this deck is pretty stable i wouldn't recommend changing anything,only if you dont have some of the legenderies you can replace them with Bomb Lobber or Azure Drake,they should work just fine.

Also if you are facing a lot of Deathrattle decks you can swap a Harvest Golem for a Scarlet Purifier.
