Have great success with this personally while climbing out of the dumpster, it's also got great win-rates from others.
Have played about 100 games with it in total, didn't stat them all but here are my stats from April 14th. Data is from the Rank 12 to Rank 8 area on NA with much stagnation at Rank 9. I know this deck can go farther though, possibly with an extra Ironbeak Owl, some are saying they have success with Raid Leader but I cannot personally vouch for either. It's definitely an AMAZING deck to climb up from Rank 20 to 10 though (when I played it anyway YMMV!)
Played it for 5 hours on stream on Friday, April 13 with great success, going from Rank 20 to 12 with only a few issues. It was then played again for 6 hours going from Rank 12 to 8 - lots of Shamans and Warlocks stole games. You can see the modifications that were made based off some discussion I had with a viewer and how their odd dude deck was built. Ended up getting more consistency and higher winrate after ditching the Corridor Creepers, though I'll slightly miss my snakey boys nah, I don't miss them at all anymore.
Really all you need to do is spam the board. Buff stuff up. I really liked holding onto a Level Up! if I got it in my opening hand because it always made for a good turn 5 or 6 play.
My favourite opening by far was Righteous Protector The Coin Acherus Veteran, though using Lost in the Jungle with Protector without a doubt is more scary for your opponent provided you're going turn 2.
I would like a second Ironbeak Owl in the deck to deal with the only annoyances that killed me or just for more consistency in obtaining the silence. Swapping out a Blessing of Might is a good call if you want to go that route.
Some may think of Blessing of Might as a dead card, but I found it to be quite the opposite since it allowed me to make VERY favourable trades with my dudes, eliminating a taunt blocking my path (such as Stonehill Defender which is in like every deck) or larger minions provided I already had some form of a buff on my Dude.
Sword of Justice makes for some really gross combos. Very easily can overwhelm with this card alone and it helps prevent the 1 damage aoes from destroying your board which is nice.
Stormwind Champion straight up won me a couple of games and has incredible value not only from being a buff to the board but also in that he can clear away a big target, deal huge face damage, or it becomes a target for everything your opponent has.
Light's Justice ... man ... it feels so weird playing with a basic weapon, but the value obtained for 1 mana is insane. You can make great trades using your health pool to keep your dudes alive and slamming that face.
I really like this deck and I can't wait to see how far I can take it. Hopefully Legend without too much of a grind. Should be an easy rank 5.
If you're fighting against another Odd Dude Paladin deck, it's going to come down to whoever is able to buff their field first so good luck!
Warlock games, you've probably lost. Sword of Justice definitely helps play against some of the bullshit though!
Having trouble with Warriors and their Taunt nonsense, luckily they seem to be rare where I'm at on the ladder right now.
I'll be streaming the deck this weekend whenever I get a chance. Give me a follow and get notified when I go live. I'll also tweet it out of you're into that kinda thing.
Sorry I don't have pictures of the winrates. Anyone watching on stream can vouch for it though :D.

Don't Play Prince Liam in the deck. Pls No.
I hope it's a troll from people but yeah, that card does NOT belong in here. It's going to completely ruin the synergy. I'm usually a person that is incredibly in favor of RNG but this is NOT the time for that kind of fun. Take that over to casual and honestly, just play the damn dude in Secret Paladin, you get way more fodder that is deserving of being replaced :P
Gameplay
5 hours long, I lose the first few games because OF COURSE, I had just started the stream up. The first version of this deck was played for around.. 3 hours? The current version is past that.
I've run into someone playing Odd Paladin with Leeroy... and actually lost to them, I think it's an addition that can work. That said, I wouldn't replace one of the Fungalmancers with it.
Imo because you'd have to sacrifice one of your tokens to deal with the downside. That said, it might still be worth considering, I haven't run it personally, but I've run into players who have.
What are some of the replacements for Sword of Justice
I tried Witch's Cauldron and if you have it is preety nice if you get value cards.
I tried Prince Liam but got some useless Legendaries. I'll give Cauldron a shot.
I see some deck use Raid Leader or Boisterous Bard
I run two Raid Leaders, imo very solid in this archetype. Didn't try Bard and not so convinced, have still to run into someone playing Odd Paladin with it as of yet.
To be honest firefly is a much better card than diremole. I found that the extra 1 drop was much more useful than the extra one health on the diremole.
What’s with the Liam hate? He’s won me games in a deck that is very similar. Past turn 6 he can turn a game around. Not always but at least there’s a chance.
Should I craft this? I'm missing Sword of Justice and both Level Up!s. I have more than enough dust, but I was thinking maybe it's better to craft 2 legendaries. Or maybe craft 2 cubes and skull to play cubelock. What do you think is more fun to play? I think I like control warlock more than cubelock though.
I would look for other odd paladin decks without sword of justice If I were you (and yep, cubelock is much more fun to play imo, but I dont feel like he's tier 1 in this meta)
in b4 Cubelock is tier one and everyone complains
I am not a huge fan of sword of justice the level ups are so key in this deck the craft is definitely worth it
the level ups seem to be safe crafts, since they're used in every odd pally deck. I don't recommend crafting sword of justice if you're on a budget & are missing lots of other cards
Imo Cubelock is still a tier 1 deck, might even be stronger than Odd Paladin, it's debatable, but it certainly is by fair the worst matchup for Odd Paladin. It just depends what you want to play and what cards you've got.
I took Light’s Justice out and added one more Ironbeak Owl, has been working very we’ll for me.
Lights justice only ever worked for me if I had it in my opening hand in a mirror. Not a super versatile use so I got rid of it.
I put another ironbeak owl instead of that. Works better for me.
can you add leeroy jenkin?
Leeroy Jenkins was nerfed maybe two years ago from 4 mana to 5 mana. Its odd
