sup people, i have been playing aggro paladin the last days (no murlocs), and i habe been trying different cards to replace Val’anyr which indont have. I wanted to share my experiments and hear yours to see what is the best choice, as I see Val’anyr as a flex spot.
- 3 mana 3/3 pirate +1/1: i found that adding a second of this didnt work very well, it is just a 3 mana 3/3 most of the times.
- sword of justice: has good sinergy with the dud and small minions spamming, but was too slow for me
- another maul: feels like to many 3 mana weapons, can be clunky
- vinecleaver: worked good for me, the 3 charges can be 12 face damage, and the extra bodies it summons are perfect vs board clears. I actually use this
Valanyr is a value machine against control, without it I'm sure it will certainly reduce your chances of victory in the late game if the control players successfully deal with call to arms. Maul would be fine but doesn't solve this problem, Truesilver Champion could be alright too. I'm not sure if you run Leeroy but that would also fill the spot if you don't have valanyr.
I personally love the weapon in the deck. It singlehandedly allows you to switch from an Aggro deck to a midrange deck, power wise.
I could see cutting it for a lower cost card. But why did you replace with an even more expensive weapon? Seems much stronger than Vinecleaver....
perhaps i should not judge until i have tried it myself.
I've gone from rank 15 to 9 with aggro paladin on a win streak and not once did Val'anyr come into play. I would think it's certainly replaceable with something. It just so happens that this deck is really, really good. But I agree, an expensive card like Vinecleaver is probably sub-optimal.

I tried the cheaper options but didnt really like them. The other choice is Spellbreaker to win the close games vs massive taunt (big priest or control warlock).
vineclear helped me get face damage / kill small taunts and rebuild board in the late game when i was loosing steam or missing just some damage. It kinda works, and with jugglers in board its nuts
and yes i do run leeroy

I think I hate aggro paladins lol

I have Leeroy AND Valanyr in my build... he’s a great target to hit off of it as well!
Maybe Bonemare? Not really sure since i am not a fan of aggro decks, but i have seen people add bonemare into their aggro paladin deck.
