Like the idea of the deck.  I switched a couple cards to give some more synergy.  Dropped out the 2 x lost in the jungle, 1 x Prince Liam and 1 x Scalebane to put in a 2 x Ebon Dragonsmith, 1 x Truesilver Champion and 1 x Val'anyr.  Reducing Val'anyr cost is very likely and makes it very good.  Also getting it dropped on a Scaleworm or a Faerie Dragon can cause your opponents some real issue.  There's a couple other good minions it can drop on as well and it gives some real pressure as long as it keeps cycling.  Reducing any of the other weapons is just icing because they can be dropped out when they least expect them.

Only two issues i see is a lack of any real healing and no silence. 

but why risk to Call to Arm your Cathedral Gargoyles ?

Because what are they going to do for you if you don't draw them or draw them late? They are dead weight and Call to Arms solves that problem and helps the deck work better.

I think the Gargoyle and Scaleworm are defenitly worth building around and I like what you've done with the deck. My only concerns are :

- The one-offs. I don't like it, I like when my deck is consistent in what it does. I would cut Rebuke and play 2 divine favors. I would cut Spellbreaker or put two of them (if you want to target Warlock with this silence, you need at least two, and even then you'll probably lose anyway. I'd go with 0 spellbreaker).

- I think you need at least 2 early game weapons, only one Maul seems not enough. Since Rallying Blade is rotating, I guess two Mauls ?

- I think a seventh dragon would be nice, but I'm not sure. Gargoyle will sometimes be recruited by CtA anyway and the Scaleworm is not HORRIBLE as a 4/4. And there is no other dragon I see fitting in this deck anyway.

Well, Rebuke can be an amazing card if you have a good board and prevent your opponent from playing Psychic Scream or Brawl or Twisting Nether or to prevent a combo that would otherwise clear your board.

More weapons could be good, but i wouldn't put two Mauls, but one Truesilver Champion or since this is a dragon deck, put Ebon Dragonsmith and one more Vinecleaver or even Silver Sword.

I would definitely cut Leeroy for something more relevant to this type of deck, like Level Up! or Drygulch Jailor.

The problem is that this deck is trying to be a dragon and a dude deck. I don't think Dragon Paladin has good support yet, maybe with the next expansion, and there are cards missing from this deck that would make it a good dude deck.

Yeah I can see that, I also can see how rebuke can be a dead card against aggro and useless against Lord Godfrey / Duskbreaker. We'll see if it's good enough to make the cut but I don't believe too much.

I'm not sure if the dragon idea is working, because you could lack dragons. I know Nightmare Amalgam is a dragon and Cathedral Gargoyle is super strong in this deck, but I'm not sure if this is better than the current dude/murloc palas.. I like the idea though :)

Ebon Dragonsmith looks like it would work well in this deck, expecially if you ran more weapons. A turn 5 Vinecleaver could be a huge swing, along with another activator for your synergies.

Yeah, I agree. 6 Dragons isn't really enough in a deck with a low hand size. Adding more would help the deck greatly! 

Personally I'd cut both fungals, Leeroy and 1 Scaleworm for 2x Ebon Dragonsmith +1 Unidentified Maul +1 Truesilver Champion.

This also lowers the total mana cost greatly, from 4+3x5=19 --> 3+(4*3)-(2*2)=11 --> 7 mana cheaper for what is arguably better for synergy and boardcontrol. As well as about equal potential face damage! (Though with a slight loss on burst.)

Dragon Paladin is hard, I feel like the archtype is trying to be aggressive and controlling at the same time which has only really worked in Cubelock variants. It seems to me just by the look of it that it might not leave enough of an impact. The Scaleworm and the Gargoyle are the main cards that make this deck a dragon deck and there's only 6 dragons that trigger these effects so it seems like there isn't enough support; consequentially the rest of the deck (the more zoo side of things) suffers because of the lack of synergy, not to mention that Call to Arms pulls some of the dragon synergy away so it's really hard to identify and solutions to the deck. I don't believe the issue is in the way you have constructed it per say, but rather the archtype as a whole doesn't have the support and it would be better to get rid of the dragon elements and just try and synergise with the rest of the deck.

Why not just run Lost in the Jungle in place of Gravelsnout Knight? Because it's a spell, it can't get pulled by Call to Arms, so you pull your other better 1 and 2 drops, and it's better on 1 than gravelsnout. It also seems like the dragon synergies are gonna be really inconsistent; old school Dragon Warrior used to run 8 dragons so that it could consistently activate its dragon synergy cards, but this deck only runs 6, and your Faerie Dragons are gonna get pulled by CTA so you won't have them in hand as often.

Good changes, but you still have 6 dragons, even If you count on Amalgam

After getting Arthas yesterday finally and my love for dragons I will for sure give this deck a try when the expansion is released. April 12th cannot come fast enough!

I am working on a similar deck. What do you think about including Ebon Dragonsmith (for another dragon, obviously, and the chance to reduce the cost a weapon - Val'anyr - in particular)?

Compared to your deck I thought about removing Vinecleaver, Leeroy and 2 x Fungalmancer and instead using The Glass Knight and 2 x TrueSilver, and 1 x Val'anyr.  Combined with Ebon Dragonsmith, my theory is this could allow Truesilver out for 2 mana and the Glass Knight might be able to survive and regenerate his own shield, etc.

Plus, if Val'anyr landed on the Scaleworm, that's a huge rush minion.

Any thoughts? Be frank; I've only made Legend 2x before. I appreciate you posting this decklist too.

Thanks for the response. The more I think about this the more I am inclined to agree with you. Vinecleaver works so well with Knife Juggler and Tarim.

Looking over your deck list you have only 6 dragons. Is that enough to trigger the synergies? I have never tried a dragon deck before. That's another reason I wondered about Ebon Dragonsmith; just to have two more dragons in there. Even if they just cheapen Vinecleaver that could still be good.

Anyway, we'll see what other cards come out. Please keep this updated, I am eager to see what you come up with after all the cards are revealed.
