Figured I'd try my hand at creating a Dragon Paladin deck.
A few of my card choices might be interesting; the Holy Light is there as an early heal against Face Hunter and Mech Mage, and the Quartermaster is there to buff up your Muster for Battle dudes as well as your Hero Power dudes. I omitted Tirion Fordring because it didn't really fit the theme and I couldn't find a way to fit him in, but feel free to include him if you want. No Big Game Hunter because Rend Blackhand almost always fills his role.
Don't be afraid to kill off your own creatures and trade, it only helps the Solemn Vigil and Volcanic Drake. Both of these cards have been working amazingly as a one of. If you can get it low enough, playing Solemn Vigil immediately after a Chromaggus can quickly turn the game in your favor if you're behind. This is really easy due to Solemn Vigil's effect and through the use of Dragon Consort.
If anyone has any ideas about how to make the deck better, please feel free to let me know! And let me know how the deck is working for you! I'll add a mulligan guide if this deck gets popular enough!
I haven't Ysera, can I put Onyxia?
I have Boom and Ragnaros too
The only reason I put Ysera in there was so I had a second big dragon, so I'd say Onyxia would be a much better fit than Dr. Boom or Ragnaros the Firelord, but feel free to experiment with all three and see which works best for you. I'd say Onyxia would be best due to the dragon synergy though.
Haha, thanks. I haven't needed them yet, and I've been holding my own against Face Hunter and Mech Mage. I've tried replacing the Volcanic Drake and Blackwing Corrupter with Belchers, but I haven't found them necessary and put the two dragon synergistic cards back in!
Hmmm, that's a good point that I hadn't thought of or encountered yet. Maybe I'll switch just that to Belcher, and see how that works.
I like your list a lot, the BGH swap for Rend is nice, but Rend has been working so well for me, killed so many Emperor Thaurrisans and Yseras lately. The coghammers are interesting, haven't thought about including those. When I made my deck I wanted to go all out with the Dragon theme, which is why I omitted Dr. Boom, Tirion, Belchers, etc.
As for your second point, I don't like Alex in the deck. I tried her out, and she often doesn't do enough. With all the healing I have, I'm often above 15 with my opponent below 15, making her completely useless. Having a dead 9 mana card in hand is really bad, and I just don't think she works well.
I think I will remove the Drake and add a Belcher (or maybe even Tirion if I'm feeling gutsy) to help with aggro.
Haha fair enough about Alex. I'm running Muster because of the synergy with my one Quartermaster and the Hungry Dragons. The dudes and the weapon often help me take out the 1-Cost minion Hungry Dragon summons, allowing me board control and a huge threat on board.
Gotta use the dudes as fodder for Solemn Vigil and Volcanic Drake though! ;)
This is by far the prettiest deck I have ever seen. dragons/10
