I've gotten pretty tired of seeing Midrange Shaman and Tempo Mage on ladder, but honestly I've played enough of them that I feel like I can counter them pretty well no matter what deck I use. Anyfin paladin just feels bad to play against, I feel like there's so few ways to combat it that it just ends up controlling the board until Bluegill Warrior and Murloc Warleader die and it can bring them back. It's also annoying that unlike other combo OTK decks where they have one chance to finish the game, Anyfin paladin can do it twice.
Am I just being too salty? If nothing else at least Anyfin Can Happen is leaving Standard in a few months.
On the bright side, they have to play a lot of bad cards to make their combo work. Honestly, I'm surprised the deck can still OTK without the murloc legendary with charge... But any combo deck that runs doomsayer and such can be a huge pain to play against so I feel your pain.
I could see Anyfin Paladin very annoying if it is settled as Tier-1/2 deck and replacing MR Shaman as the most popular deck. I'm glad that it is not, I barely see them on ladder so it's not that bad to face them once in a while.

Not all who wander are lost...
...but I sure am
Run a Corrupted Seer in control decks and use entomb/hex on Warleaders.On the bright side, they have to play a lot of bad cards to make their combo work.
