Looking for any suggestions and help! Its been awhile since I have gotten competitive with Hearthstone but after getting my hand on a bunch of GvG cards I have been working hard to push rank! I got up to rank 5 and now back down to 6 where I seem to be holding. I feel that right now, I can't seem to get consistent wins its going back and forth a lot. Struggling a lot with face hunter, agro/zoo locks, priests. Druids, warriors and rogues havn't been an issue and I never seem to see paladins ever.
I feel that if I do not have a great start or a good starting hand I feel like I get behind way to quick. I have changed my decks several times and I have some ideas but curious what others suggest as well. I am using a similar deck to strifeco and of course many other midrange paladins
Some thoughts I had were to add back in zombie chow and perhaps a coghammer. Also considering removing 1 quartermaster as many times I feel he can be a dead card sometimes. Piloted Sky Golem is also nice but again doesn't feel super strong if I am behind.
I'd get rid of Scarlet Purifier and Healbot. Replace them with Equality and another LoH.
LoH is an OP card if you compare it to a Druid cards. Healing Touch and Nourish. 1 card that does the same as 2 druid cards together (quoted by Firebat).
I'd also probably play Sylvanas instead of Sky Golem.

Yeah LoH is an incredible card, the only issue is it costs 8 mana. Against heavy aggro decks it can be very difficult to pull one off. I put in Scarlet Purifier cause of how heavy deathrattle was. I still see a bit but its not as heavy so I might swap that out. And I agree with Golem, I will put back in my Sylvanas.
Scarlet Purifier is great and underrated card, i like it very much. Just it have anti-synergy with chows, belcher and shredder. That is reason why people don't use it much.
This will improve your early defense against aggro but weaken little late game, so you can put out 1 Sludge Belcher for another 5 drop, like Harrison Jones. This 5-drop exchange is optional, decide by how much aggro/control games you play.
Now another thing, I guess you often don't get lot of value Mind Control Tech. StrifeCro populated this card just for fun, it can be good in full control paladin, but don't shine in this midrange Paladin. It is same thing as when ThatsAdmirable played Paladin withDeathwing to legend. Just fun card on stream, not so great in practice. I would suggest you to change it for Avenging Wrath, it clear all those small minions and can be nice finisher. The way you get ideal mana curve in your deck 6-6-6-6-3-3
Beside that your deck is great!
So, to recap main ideas:
1) 2x Shredder out -> Shieldmasta + Argus in = stronger early game + better synergy with Scarlet Purifier
2) mind control tech out -> Avenging Wrath in = better answer to aggro + late game improved back + ideal mana curve 6-6-6-6-3-3
What is the reasoning behind only 1x Equality? I see a lot of paladin running only one but it is our only hard removal (If you dont count BGH or aldor), against handlock for instance only one equality seems too few. I'm hovering around rank 10-13 so maybe it is due to the meta with more aggro decks at higher ranks ?
damn some people devote lot of time in this game i only play 3 max 4 games a day so i don't even reach rank 6,reaching rank 6 for me is like reaching legend which will never happen hahaah

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Got a 3-year-old so I only play a few games per day - I was happy recently when I hit rank 12 for the first time. Of course, that deck uses Undertaker so I probably have to go back to the drawing board in a few days... Then too, all the high ranking decks that get posted use several thousand dust worth of cards I don't have so it's hard to figure out how to build something good on a budget.

Thanks for the suggestions! Definitely makes a lot of sense! Sadly I don't have Harrison Jones. I already took out the Piloted shredder and put in Sylvanas. Gonna take out the Mind Control Tech and go from there. I removed the scarlet and put in a chow and it definite helped for sure. Got to rank 5 again. Just gonna have to keep tweaking
Huntards and mechmage will be a hard matchups, so if you just keep facing them like only them..... swap a deck if u really want to get a higher rank!
seems to work perfect for me specialy the extra Equality
Thank you! Yes I already took out the golem and put Sylvanas back in and it definitely has helped! And I do agree with a 2nd Equality. I have been fighting non stop mech mages last night. Good bye mind control tech :'(

Zombie Chow will do wonders against Hunter. Are you getting value out of Scarlet Purifier often?

Expert paladin here.
Scarlet Purifier is great and underrated card, i like it very much. Just it have anti-synergy with chows, belcher and shredder. That is reason why people don't use it much.
So here is idea, against aggro you want taunts as fast as you can get them. Put Sen'jin Shieldmasta and Defender of Argus in place of 2x Piloted Shredder.
This will improve your early defense against aggro but weaken little late game, so you can put out 1 Sludge Belcher for another 5 drop, like Harrison Jones. This 5-drop exchange is optional, decide by how much aggro/control games you play.

I'm stuck at rank 7. I can't beat these fatigue mages AT ALL, and other ppl just been getting lucky draws.
