Hearthpwn

Hi guys, haven't posted here for awhile but Naxxramas has gotten me back in the Hearthstone groove. I've updated my Pally control deck as you can see above. I used to be very legendary heavy, including Sylvanus and Cairne in the deck just because I had 'em, but I've realized that a bunch of expensive legends that slow things down too much means I end up dying, and losing is no fun. Putting in the Azure Drakes and Thalanos helps boost my consecrations & Avenging Wrath's, which is loads of fun. There's a good amount of healing to be had here, but I didn't overdo it (used to have Holy Light & even Lay on Hands previously in older version of the deck, but the tempo killer of that 8 mana card was a mistake in hindsight). I find having the Farseers to be more worthwhile with their +6 healing total than the harvest golems.

Early on, you can play the Pyromancer, Farseers, and Peacekeepers, but what I really like about these low mana guys is that you aren't unhappy to see them if they show up later in the game, because they're still totally useful (unlike a lot of other low cost minions).

There's a solid midgame with both Drakes and the Argent commander as well, so you can be safely bridged to the heavy hitters of the deck at 7+ mana without having taken too much damage.

3 heavies with Tirion, Ysera, and Rag are plenty. I find the Faceless Manipulator often turns 3 heavies into 4, or is useful during the midgame if your opponent gets something out earlier than we can handle. Still, being a control deck that's often not too big an issue unless your starting hand sucked and you haven't recovered.

Feel free to leave me some feedback, I've only mained Paladin since I joined the beta and I'm waiting for our chance to shine, but I kind of like that we aren't a meta deck, because that gives us a chance to really surpise people. I've had a lot of success thus far and am really having a good time with this one. Thanks for reading!
