Deck Talk: Darkwonyx's Paladin Mountain Giants
In this week's Deck Talk, TheChiv has Darkwonyx on to discuss his Paladin deck which features Mountain Giant and Molten Giant! It uses its plethora of taunts, as well as life gain, to sustain and outlast most opponents. The giants in the deck has can provide some real threats that will enforce their will on your opponent.
The deck doesn't do the best against Handlock and Miracle Rogue, and Priests can be a bit of a pain, so if you're in an area of the ladder where these are very popular, you may want to pull out another deck! See the deck below for information on crafting it, and don't forget to watch Deck Talk where Darkwonyx coaches us through the deck.

BlizzCon 2014 Deck Lists
We've received the official deck lists from Blizzard for the 2014 Hearthstone World Championships and have made them available for your viewing on the site. Check out our dedicated BlizzCon 2014 Deck Lists thread.
Jeeves will probably see the most play in aggro paladin, but I'm a little unsure on how it's going to work well with Divine Favor. :s
The Mountain Giant Paladin deck is fun!
Guys this minion the shieldmaiden looks overpowered compared to guardian of kings. 7 mana 5/6 guardian of kings only restores 6 health but 6 mana 5/5 shield maiden gains 5 armour. I think reducing its stats by 1 will make more sense because armor gained has synergy with shield slam also.
Can't wait for the epic Groot-looking spell! (I'm not that educated in the WoW, so I wouldn't know what exactly that tree creature is. :p)
Druid card artwork looks sweet!
Ok guys somehow the Warrior card was voted last time instead of a pirate! Let's get it right this time...vote the Druid card!
-nttArc
At this exact moment, druid is losing for 10 votes. This one is really close.
Let's all vote for whichever one is losing so that it will end in a draw and Blizzard has to release both! :D
Aww, no pirate card :(
People probably dislike shield maiden because it seems like a much weaker version of Guardian of Kings. Just like how Fen Creeper is loathed but everyone loves Tazdingo.
I think shieldmaiden is better, more synergy with armor than health, and removal that can deal with 5 health usually deals with 6 health also, like fireball and such. and that all important 1 mana difference is the icing on the cake, 5 mana is so much easier and comfortable to cast than 6 mana.
We haven't seen any Paladin cards yet. So, relax. Stop jumping to conclusions.
I decided to build a deck with Shieldmaiden since you guys are taking a dump all over the card. I think a Midrange/Control hybrid with Shieldmaiden can be viable, but only time will tell once the expansion and all of the cards are available for use.
How could this card win over a Pirate with a parrot? I'm baffled. :D
Well once again, they have not fixed this whole, "You MUST use twitter!!!!111!!!!!!!" thing, so no voting for me... but let's go Druid spell!
They're hating on it because it doesn't introduce new mechanics, so it must be bad. I agree it's underwhelming but it's a good card. People weren't impressed with Webspinner nor with Sludge Belcher when those were shown and yet they're definitely two of the most frequently used cards from Naxx. We'll know how good the card actually is once people start to use it.
bummer :(
I am checking the voting screen and it looks like someone is using bots to vote the boring Shaman card up. Within few seconds it sky rocketed. The same happened with the Goblin pirate card. Probably the "wrath of the botters".
Nope. I just saw the Shaman card go up 30 votes in less than a minute, while the Druid got 2 votes only. You should also note that both cards are extremely near in number of votes (Druid was lagging behind by only 4 votes before the boost).
Edit: And when I was typing this, the Shaman card got 60+ votes while there was 1 vote for Druid. Yup, nothing's fishy there.
The Druids "Tree of Life" card looks like it is going to be a hero changer like Shadowform & Jaraxxus. Looking for it, should be awesome, not like the boring gnome here, wanted to see the pirate damn it.
