Thanks kiwiinbacon for this great video - please take a look to see the deck in action:
Also thanks KadakHS - check his video also:

How to play the deck:
- First of all, thanks everyone for upvoting. I didn't really expected that much of views and I was overwhelmed with work, so I hadn't time to write the guide.
- The idea behind this deck is kinda simple - you play mostly Mid-Range/Tempo deck, with the advantage of handbuffing your minions therefore going very wide on the board.
- As of now the deck could use some replacements as I feel it, as it is performing kinda bad against aggro-to-mid decks and cube lock (Aggro Paladin is worst matchup with 26 % WR on Rank 3 - Legend).
-
The idea behind Drygulch: As it is very weak tempo minion in a tempo deck in a most important 2 slot spot in it, you must definitely be asking this question. The Drygulch reasons are following: 1, It makes your Handbuffs MUCH better; 2, It makes your Tarim better; 3, It makes your Corridor Creeper more likely to activate earlier; 4, It can help finding target for ValAnyr and Dinosizes).
- The idea behind ValAnyr + Copy: Now this is kinda cool and fun :) There is already plenty great targets for ValAnyr, sometimes you will success in landing your ValAnyr buff on either Saronite Chain Gang or Dopellgangster, which will make your ValAnyr Deathrattle bounce to all copied minions, which is obviously ridicolously strong, as the ValAnyr will keep buffin your hand, if opponent will AoE the board and you will dont get silence on it :) (take care of Mass Dispel).
- Young Dragonfury and Corpsetakers: The reason behind Dragonfuries instead of Grook Fu or other Windfury minions is mostly because of handbuff archetype. That is rewarding mostly from small minions, but also as sweet target to land Dinosize or ValAnyr on.
- Spiteful Summoner + Dinosizes: This combo is nothing new to this meta. It was tried out in Murloc Paladin and some more Paladin archetypes. It works as a charm. I dont like adding the 3rd spell as there is no ideal candidate among the Paladin spells, but if you keep to draw Dinosize before Spiteful, you can add Stampridge Steed - I would say instead for one Aldor/Stonehill or Drygulch.
Mulligan:
Keep:
- Drygulch Jailor
- Grimestreet Outfitter
- Righteous Protector (against Aggro)
- Aldor Peacekeeper (against Rogue)
- Spiteful Summoner (against Control)
- ValAnyr (if ideal curve on hand already)
Situational:
- Aldor Peacekeeper (against Druid, Paladin)
- Stonehill Defender
- Grimestreet Enforcer
- Spiteful Summoner
- ValAnyr
- Corridor Creeper
- Corpsetaker
Replacements:
Against aggro:
-2x Drygulch Jailor
+2x Golakka Crawler
---
-2x Stonehill Defender
+2x Tar Creeper
Additional Tips:
You can try Tar Creeper and taking out Young Dragonhawks for like Firefly?
Will change the decks gameplay a bit tho.
Actually i like this deck but I'm losing against everything... I made a few changes like one ooze, spellbreaker and geist, but every opponent destroys me... 2-5 so far at rank 15. Maybe i suck?
Man I've been itching and struggling to get handbuff to work. Sometimes ya crush it sometimes not. I like the spiteful merge w/ handbuff though. and i never considered the jailor. Swapped out one dinosize for a lay on hands as don't have it. I think I would like to get rid of the dragonhawks to acolytes of pain. As those with one buff become beefy 2/4's for 3. Also need some room for wickerflame and maybe a tar creeper. Those things with even just 1 buff become beasts. Maybe when the nerf hits and the creepers come out..
I landed Dinosize on a Young Dragonhawk in my last game. Man, that is sweet.
I took out the Dopplegangsters as I felt the need for 2 x Spellbreaker in the current environment.
I also took out the Creepers (pre-nerf excitement) and included 2 x Spikeridge Steed. I was burned twice by drawing the Spiteful Summoner with no spells. Not good.
Still experimenting, but this is interesting and fun. Thanks!
First mulligan I got both dinosizes. Time to complain on reddit about the RNG in hearthstone
I have been waiting for someone to come up with a new paladin archetype and I absolutely love this deck. It feels good, the gameplay is fun amd the deck is actually quite good on the ladder currently. I know it is not the cheapest deck ever but it is quite worth it for all the fun i'll have playing this new fresh deck!
I made a video showcase of the deck in action, warning handbuff can cause opponents to surrender XD
Thanks kiwii :)
Why there are so many minuses?! Trolls at work? Or maybe that were some of spiteful boys, who didn't get a shit from giveaways?
That video is nice, actually.
Fun deck, a really clever way to use drygulch jailor
however I have a better winrate with Kong-Fu Master instead of the 1/1 dragonkawk
Funny, last Friday I had posted my version I played on Casual for a few days as well, it has Grook Fu Master too

Since I work with my limited collection and I'm by no means an experienced deckbuilder it is not as optimized as this one, but I can confirm that it is fun to play.
@AlienEmpress: in my ~30 games I only once experienced the situation where I drew both Dinosizes before I could play a Summoner. and the Dinosize is itself useful in Paladin, as I wrote in my deck description you might even win without drawing into Summoner
Played a handful of games with this. LOVE IT! Congrats on the great idea. Corpsetaker is one of my favorite cards and this deck shows it some love. I also ran Young Dragonhawk in my buff deck ( Oooohhhh, that windfury synergy :)
Drygulch Jailor gives solid value. Adding Spiteful Summoner is GREAT call!
I cut one Doppelgangster and a Spikeridged Steed for one more spell, but would wonder what else you would cut? I think post nerf, I'd keep the Doppelgangster and cut the Corridor Creepers and add one Spellbreaker.
Thoughts?
Thanks man! Appreciate! :)
Adding Spikeridged Steed is not a bad decision, if you are drawing Dinosizes earlier than Spiteful oftenly. Tho I would not reccomend to cut Doppelgangster (as he is as drawing 3 minions when handbuffing). I would cut it probably for Stonehill.
Oh, and about the post-nerf questions - im not really great in theorydecking, so we will have to wait :) Im anyway eager to see it performing, as I think it will be very strong with some replacements.
I knew it! I knew it! (c)
I told about buffpally, but i think it will be a control deck. (mb in next HS year) :)
what about adding LEEROY for the burst ? maybe by replacing 1 Corpsetaker ?
Wouldnt reccomend adding Leeroy. This is mostly tempo deck and drawing Leeroy can really destroys your Tempo/Handbuff synergy. Not mentioning the 1/1s are kinda against you, as you have many Divine Shield minions (if you would come to situation where you would use leeroy for tempo).
wout valanyr and sunkeeper it doesnt work
49 upvotes and counting. I think how to play this deck is pretty self evident but I would like to hear your thoughts on it.
