Hello, 

I have been testing this deck since the beginning of witchwood and I have managed to get legend pretty easily. It has pretty good match-ups against aggro and contains the OTK combo against control. Against midrange decks it needs to get on board and be able to slow down your opponent but it is possible. Keep in mind, that against aggro and more aggro oriented midrange decks you will have to rely on your board clears and maintaining board control, rather than winning with the combo. The combo is mostly in the deck in order to beat slow control decks, which control paladin generally struggles with,  but sometimes it works against more slow oriented midrange decks, too.

To begin with, the combo consist of hero powering while having Uther of the Ebon Blade in play. Next, you play Ancient Brewmaster in order to take the first horseman into your hand. In the next turn you do the same, however you need to be aware of taking a different horseman into your hand, the second time. Lastly, on the next turn again, you take the 3rd horseman with Zola the Gorgon. Then, on your next turn, you play all of the horsemen that you have from your hand, FIRST, and then you hero power for the full combo. It seems a little bit slow, but it ACTUALLY works. However, your opponent needs to be a control deck. 

Against aggro decks you need to play for board and having in mind your board clears in combination of Wild Pyromancer with Equality and Consecration. In many cases you will have to adapt to the situation according to your corresponding hand and realizing what is your win condition, either clearing the board over and over again or getting ahead on board and maintaining it. 

I have to admit that the deck is very strong and it can win against any type of deck, having also tech cards like Gluttonous Ooze for weapon removals, especially against cubelock and Aldor Peacekeeper mainly for giants and spiteful summoners in the mid game. In addition Blackwald Pixie is in the deck in order to punish any opponent who does not respect your single horseman that you have in play, because one horseman in the board while having another one in the hand in combination with Blackwald Pixie is lethal. Also,  when having the coin, Blackwald Pixie makes the combo faster requiring only two horsemen in your hand. It is decent against aggro, too, having a 3/4 body. 

The only replacements that can be made in this deck is replacing Tirion Fordring with Lynessa Sunsorrow, however in my opinion Tirion is better. Everything else is essential for the deck to work.

Thank you for your time, I hope you find my deck interesting and have success with it. If the deck gets many likes or views, I will consider putting more details about muligans and how to play against every single matchup.

**UPDATE**: After a lot of testing and because of the changes that have happened regarding the meta, I have adapted the deck with some changes. In detail, I have replaced one Righteous Protector with a Spellbreaker and replaced Tirion Fordring with Lynessa Sunsorrow. I believe with these additions the deck will perform a little bit better against Greymane Paladin as well as mid-rangy deck where lynessa can wall almost anything with two steeds. Also, silence is so strong right now that can wreck decks as well as combo sometimes with zola or brewmaster in order to pressure a lot with additional silences.
