Hi guys,

I had an idea a few days ago and decided to build an aggro paladin deck based on the "If it's your opponent's turn" attribute some minions were given this expansion. This meta is too control heavy, let's change this !!

You can find the link to the deck and eveything you need to know here under: 

http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/916479-rank-15-to-5-skeleeggroadin-breaking-some-shells

Let's discuss about it, and try to make aggroadin great again !!! 

I like the idea, but I am not sure if it has enough early game pressure. The murloc midrange pally is a similar concept, built primarily around buffing skelemancer, I have been having a lot of luck with that deck.

Thank you for your answer !
This deck deals pretty well with board clear heavy decks like priest or mage, by locking the board and making it impossible to use AOEs, but I agree with the possible lack of early game pressure.

I don't really know what to swap out, maybe the two Corpsetaker , Wickerflame Burnbristle and the Chillblade Champion, in order to add an extra Truesilver Champion and two Phantom Freebooter, not really sure about this, great loss of tempo, but it would be pretty exotic !

Maybe something more sticky on the board  ?

Personally I don't find Corpsetaker to serve much use for the value in the meta right now. You don't really need the life steal usually if your goal is for shorter games. The Phantome Freebooter/Truesilver combo seems a little too situational. I would kill chillblade though as it's good for aggro. I think Hydrologist would be a good, the secrets can really turn games around, especially redemption for keeping your taunts on the board. 

I agree with the fact that Corpsetaker isn't helping much, felt it while testing the decklist. 
I'm gonna try Hydrologist, maybe one more Sunfury Protector or even Grimestreet Outfitter ?!

I would also cut Vryghoul. It's just a weak card. It pretty much is the same as Scarlet Crusader , but (and this is a big but) You cannot trade with it, because then it's just a 3/1, whereas the crusder does basically the same thing no matter whose turn is it. It is a bit more vulnerable to pings, but if Your opponent has to ping Your 3-drop twice, You will probably win anyway. 

I tried a similar one but in wild with eggs. In my opinion this strategy works better there since you have more sinergy and more sticky minions. 

For standard this is sometimes meh. The Vryghoul sadly are really weak

Thanks for taking the time to answer guys !
I think the Vryghoul are underrated. This card does more than it seems, it simply stops the opponent from using board clears, but using Devilsaur Egg is a great idea  ! 
We can try different versions of this deck and give our feedbacks here if you want !

Edit : updated decklist by adding 2x Devilsaur Egg  and 2x [card]Hydrologist[/card] and swapping out 2x Vryghoul and 2x Corpsetaker

What do you think about using 1x Dire Wolf Alpha instead of Wickerflame Burnbristle ?

Edit : I added Divine Favor !

Hey there! I really like your idea. I think it can be even better in the Wild mode. I will test it and give you the feedbck.

Thanks !

Yes I definitely think that this deck will be even better in wild mode, your feedback will be welcome ! :)  

@Jambi93 you are right, but it is less vulnerable to other types of board clears  :)

Feel free to upvote the deck, the more people contribute to it, the better it will get ! :D

Hi guys, I just wanted to update this thread, I hit rank 8 by playing only this deck, approximately one hour per day, I think it is pretty solid right now, and I think I can easely hit rank 5 this way ! How well are you doing with this deck ? :D

I also added Tirion Fordring just to help me pushing for lethal if the game lasts to long.

Update : removed the Blessing of Might to ad a Dire Wolf Alpha !

First of all, thank you for your answer ! 

Dire Wolf Alpha is for sure an excellent card, very efficient associated with Devilsaur Egg or Skelemancer, or basically every other card in your deck for value trades.

Arrogant Crusader is really slow, but I don't know for which car I could swap it out in standard :/ Maybe including a part of the pirate package is a good idea, but I'd also like more resilience on the board, more stickiness, and I don't really know which cards could help me with this.

I'll maybe try Lost int the Jungle ! This deck would be way more powerful in wild mode, that's for sure !

EDIT : I was thinking abou swapping out Arrogant Crusader to add Meat Wagons which could pull out Validated Doomsayers and  Devilsaur Egg or even more if it is buffed !! 

I'm not sure about either of those changes, both are slow cards on their own. of course the dream would be pulled doomsayer that they cant deal with for a free 7/x minion, but being forced to spend the mana on doomsayer is just brutal. meat wagon could maybe work, the big downside to having it buffed or with a dire wolf next to it is you risk pulling your sunfury/argus which really hurts egg consistency or your ability to force your opponent into procing the deathrattle on skelemancer.

 You are totally right, but I wanted to test something crazy (that works sometimes) haha ! Do you have any idea for replacement ? :D I was thinking about Cobalt Scalebane ?

Yeah, I'll try everything haha, that's what I like the most about this game, trying every possible combination :D Keep us informed if you're trying this too !
