Been playing this on ladder for a bit now and ended up with a 79% win rate at rank 7 to 5 (Not that win rates means anything). Not sure if the Bone Drake addition is good or if I was just lucky, thoughts?
Looks good, I'm trying out different control Paladin decks right now, and I'm having trouble against Druids even with the addition of Skulking Geist...how are you doing against Jade Druid and vs Mage DK with this? I can't seem to win a game against it if it comes to her being played (and it always does, even if I try to rush down the mage...)
Didn’t face to many Mage DKs but the ones I did I manged to out value. Druid is by far the most difficult match up but won a few thanks to Sunkeeper Tarim or by being aggressive in the early game and using equality clears to finish.
I'm running bone drake in my murloc deck and it seems to be going fairly well. I am using Chillblade Champion and have been able to buff it in several games...
That is not Bone Drake, that is Nzoth paladin is very strong at moment. I have played a lot of games with classic control, control with Blackguards and Ivory knights, midrange and nzoth versions... And Nzoth one is surely strongest which was giving me really better winratio.
But I doubt Bone Drake is so good, I prefer Cairne Bloodhoof in that 6 mana slot, it is more sticky, can't be removed by priest and you often have 4/5 body even after Equality board clear. And its really better to take 2x Corpsetaker and 2x Skelemancerfor this deck.
Skelemancer is just perfect, it is maybe the most underestimated common card for now. It protects your board from AOE (especially great when you resurect them with Nzoth), it hardly counters Doomsayer (and now half of decks are running it, mages, handlocks, paladins, even some ramp druids) and it is fantastic target for 6 mana buff, because nobody kills it after you play it on t5 :)
Also I'm almost sure that Corpsetaker buff for lifesteal is not so necessary in that control meta. Everybody is trying to counter your board and not go in face and more than half games you are sitting on full HP when playing it early. So Chillblade Champion is not so necessary card for this deck too.

If you feel like you need healing, you could sub them for ivory knights (I say this because I don't see any rag or forbidden healing in your list, despite the uther dk).
You can also sub them for cairne (you know what you get, survives AoE, better against priest) and geist if you have trouble with jade (or inner fire shenanigans)
And as somebody else already said, you should get rid of chillblade champion

Well, I'm probably running too few early game minions who can pack a punch...to much 1-attacks I guess...I beat maybe like 1 Mage after he/she played Jaina, and probably only because they didn't draw into their burn spells by then - it seems that whatever I put on the board, they can bring it to 1 Health and then ping it for a Water Elemental (Frostbolt for 4 Health minions, Fireball for 7, Firelands Portal for 6 etc.)
Also, to everyone reading the thread; I tried out Corpsetaker but didn't find it all that good, how are you all feeling about it? I have only 1 copy atm, not sure if I want to craft the other...
I'm running 2 corpsetakers in my murloc paladin and feel like I'm getting pretty good value... I do run the lifesteal charge to activate lifesteal on the corpsetaker

Bone drake is a really solid card in N'zoth decks, so I find. It's a star in my mage deck (Pyros, Bone Drake and Sindragosa for N'zoth).
