What about Tirion i this deck?

Hi Holyrock,

Thanks for sharing this deck. Its a very fun deck to play and it got me from rank 25 to legend this season.
I agree with all your match ups except for Aggro Hunter. I think this deck is not strong vs Aggro Hunter, simply because every Hunter plays with Unleash the Hounds and Explosive Trap which counters all of our x/1 creatures and on top of that most of them play with Tracking which makes it easy for them to get these two cards. I faced a lot of Hunters with this deck and i think my win/loss ratio against them is approximately at 55%, so I consider this deck at most "fair" vs Hunter.

Possible replacement for King Mukka?

Really enjoying this deck!  Even without the epics it has me climbing the ladders.  Up to rank 18 in three days.

Avenging wrath is demoralizing enough to get people to concede even if they are up.

Thank you for posting!

I am having a horrible time with this deck. Cant get past rank 18. I have about a 20% win rate with this deck. Terrible

I kind of agree and disagree with IIdangercloserII. I've been hovering around 19-18 for awhile, and sometimes if I'm lucky I'll get a good win streak going and shoot up the ranks. My mage deck got me from 25-19 in 2 hours. This deck is fun to play, but when it works. On paper you have good counters for certain things IF you're able to draw that card. Don't get me wrong, playing against friends or casual it's a blast. I just think ranked players are getting savvy to rush decks and their tactics, so they are equipping themselves for that grind to rank 10 knowing that they are going to be encountering a lot of rush decks along the way.

Hell, just the other day I fought a rush down druid...I didn't even think that was possible but hey, anything can happen. The deck works, it's just in a meta where, like I said, people are getting used to seeing and playing against it, it's just getting harder to play, especially since so many tournament players are playing Shamans now, and so everyone else kind of follows suit, and thanks to Trump, the influx of Mage players is ridiculous (the two hard counters to this deck.) But like I said, it's still fun to play, and I think Paladin's have a great curve for rush down decks. Nothing quite like pulling an Argent Squire on turn 1, then coining into Blood Knight on turn two and giving him Blessing of Might on turn 3. Not too many people have an answer for that. XD 

Maybe switch two for Defender of Argus, but the problem is the mana curve would end up sucking because so many of the Paladin's abilities cost 4 mana. Maybe add Faerie Dragon so they don't get torched by druid, shaman, or mage. It'll cut down on the whole rush'em and hit'em in the face but it might serve as more of a buffer so that way they won' totally be annihilated at the end of the day. I can think of a few others, but not without turning this into a mid-range deck.

Hey there,
I was running a similar deck to this one without as much overall removal as you run, and would constantly have issues dealing with minions. So I thought I'd try this deck out (since it is very similar in style) to see how it would work out, and here's my report on it:

I played a good 10 games or so, and I don't know if maybe I'm just the most unlucky person in the world, or I just was doing something wrong, or whatever the case, but I had absolutely HORRIBLE games with this.

- If I ran into an aggro matchup, Divine Favor is an absolutely WORTHLESS card. Every aggro opponent I came up against would always have their hand lower than mine making the card dead. It really sucked too, because I like the card a lot when facing an opponent that draws a lot, like Mages (however every card drawer I faced I NEVER got Divine Favors at all... I'm chalking that one up to my bad luck).

- For an aggressive deck, this thing can just outright stall. In a few of my games, I would end up with nothing but spells in my hand and no minions, or all my minions, no spells/card drawing, and by mid game would just slow to a crawl. If you get none of your card drawing to keep your hand replenished, you're doomed no matter what you're facing. If you end up replacing things in your starting hand, hope and pray you get a 1 or 2 drop that can last for a while, because I know I ended up with 4 and 6 casts in my opening hand and drew into no minions for a few turns. This hurts massively since you're supposed to be aggressive, but you're putting out 0 damage and are stuck in a bad situation.

When it works, the damn thing can be downright unstoppable. However, you're placing all of your eggs in one basket and hoping for solid card replenishment so you can keep pressing your attack. I know that putting all your eggs in one basket IS what aggro decks are about, and what they do, but this one can burn you REALLY bad with dead cards, horrible opening hands (but that's with any deck of course, not just this one), or absolutely 0 card drawing to keep you moving along.
I'm still really new to Hearthstone, so I may be just hitting a wall, and my inexperience can be showing through. However, I'm not sure how to make this deck more consistent. It's really fun, and works amazingly... IF it is working in your favor. However, you can end up massively screwed in before the game even begins.

Shamans are also an issue for this deck. Feral Spirit and Earth Shock are incredibly annoying, and their Lightning Storm burns up the board, along with Stormforged Axe. Mages and Shamans are the only real threat to this deck, along with a Murloc Warlock if they draw more minions faster than you do.

This deck is slightly different than Force Feed's deck, which gives me about a 50/50 chance of winning. Then again, I've faced A LOT of Mages too, but a lot of it comes down to card draw. Worse feeling on earth is drawing a Blessing of Kings, Truesilver Champion, and Avenging Wrath on your first hand, then send them all back only to get them all back or other 4 + cards back in turn. It's painful and you have to wait and hope your 1 mana cards come out, because once you go past turn 2 and all you've managed to do is use your hero power, it feels like you're screwed.

Really like this deck.
