Hey guys, Emailsupport here. This is the first deck i've actually messed around with, and it's doing wonders for me. This Aggro Paladin Deck got me from rank 13~ to rank 5 in one day. Now, it's a little different from other Aggro Paladin decks, but again, this is MY variation.
Let's start by talking about the deck. Everything is pretty standard; if you have seen the popular Shockadin deck, this isn't much different. But instead of having 2 Abusive Sergeant, I only put one in exchange for the Blessing of Kings. I made this change because although the Abusive Sergeants work really well in this deck, the Blessing of Kings buff works better when trading with bigger minions.
Faerie Dragon oh boy, this card is so good in aggro decks it's not funny. Faerie dragons can't be killed by spells, right? So along with the 2Argent Protector it is impossible to not do at least 3 damage.
Now for the card drawing part of the deck. King Mukla + Divine Favor = $$draws$$ for days. It is amazing how good this combo is, it sets you up for the draws that can lead into lethal, getting closer to lethal, or getting out of a sticky situation. Now, this deck isn't as cheap as the Shockadin Deck, but you can sub out some of the cards.
You can sub out King Mukla for Coldlight Oracle Although it gives both players 2 cards and it doesn't really make a difference for Divine Favor, your cards are most likely lower cost, so you can just play all your cards and still end up using it.
Sorry if I needed to get more into detail, after all I am open to criticism. Please reply anything you want me to add, as well as your success with this deck!!

Edit: Got to rank 3!!!
-1 Noble Sacrifice +1 Ironbeak Owl The owl helps against many higher rank match ups like miracle rogue(Edwin VanCleef, druid for the taunts, as well as handlock for the taunts.
Matchups:
Easy/Weak - Handlock, other Aggro Paladins, Zoo, Freeze mage, Priest, Miracle Rogue
Medium - Aggro Hunter, Shaman, Druid
Hard/Strong - Control Warrior
Mulligans: I will add more Mulligans later on, but for now I will list the match-ups i've seen most often.
Zoo - Mulligan for a Consecration, definitely. Argent squires and argent protectors are also pretty good.
Handlock - Mulligan for An early owl, maybe equality if you dont have an owl. Go for early rush like Arcane Golem, or argent squire + blessing of might.
Druid- Mulligan for an early owl, maybe an equality. You also want early rush, but usually not arcane golem because they benefit from the +1 mana more than you do hitting his face for 4. Faerie dragons are really good because they can't just wrath it, although you have to put it down before turn 4 Keeper of the Grove
I don't have Leeroy, and have been using Lorewalker Cho instead for some hilariously fun results. Cho also combos well with Divine Favor and King Mukla. It's so wonderful to turn those Bananas into additional draw AND get them right back. Certainly not the most optimal, but the shenanigans are surely fun.
I added a sword of justice to buff the little guys i put out if it comes to that because i don't have a second divine favor right now, ill see how it works out.
I wouldn't include the sword of justice just because it's too slow for this deck, but still tell me how it works out! I actually tried putting blue gills in and it's working pretty well, I might edit that into the deck.
i think it's vital to have at least one Wild Pyro in paladins aggro decks. it gives you 4 mana full board clear, such an amazing combo! and anyway it's 3/2 2 mana creature
Thanks for the comment baudelaire88! Now, I agree wild pyro + equality combo is great in paladin decks, but this deck is designed for early game board control/ damage to the face. Wild pyro is usually used in mid range decks in order to stall and get those late game cards out. Maybe some aggro decks might use it, but i'll still try it out. Thanks again for the comment!!!
board control/ damadge to da face is midrange...
