Well i don't know what to say, but looks like Even Paladin is still going strong even without Call to Arms. Val'anyr combo with Argent Commander and Chain Gang remains insane and such a powerful finisher combined with Avenging Wrath. The Glass Knight is the best replacement for Call to Arms alongside Cult Master to fill the gap of Call to Arms "draws". And i added the Lich King since the deck is already a bit slower so he fits perfectly here.
Few tips and mulligan guide:
1) Since Call to Arms isn't in the deck anymore, it's really important to keep any 2 drop in hand (at least 2). Otherwise they might cripple your win condition if drawn late in the game.
2) If you have Drygluch Jailer in hand, keep Lightfused Stegadon.
3) Don't waste your removals on a small board! Call to Arms isn't there anymore to carry you if you waste all your cards in early game. Bait the enemy and make them feel secure to flood the board then use removals correctly, against Druid and Warlock most importantly.
4) Almost always save your Val'nyer for eaither Argent Commander or Chain Gang. You need this combo more than ever to win against slower or heavy control decks.
5) Never keep Cult Master in hand. Most of the times it will sit in the hand without being used. it helps when you draw it later in the game to draw a card or two.
6) when you are behind on board don't get greedy with the Argent Commander. Use him to trade some big threat and use him on curve if the board is empty and there is no other minion to play!

Replacement Options:
- The Glass Knight: I would suggest using a copy of Crystal Kion in case you don't have him. Chillblade Champion as one in the comment suggested, is also a very solid option!
- Cult Muster: This card can be very bad when drawn early in the game. Its very helpful in the later stages. So replacing it with a copy of Loot Horder is a soild choice.
- The Lich King: if silence effect won't be in every deck from now on, Tirion will be a better card in the deck. But for now, i would suggest keeping him. If you have neither Bonemare woud be a good tempo replacement.
I will be making small changes to the deck depending on the meta. For now this list works really well against a lot of decks.
Is Knife Juggler really good w/o call to arms? Maybe a plated bettle or berserker or loot hoarder?
I'm trying to make this deck and I'm thinking of replacing Sunkeeper Tarim
Would Tirion be a good pick to replace him,or maybe sliver sword?
you never replace tarim. He's one of the strongest cards in the game.
Removed 1x argent commander and added 1x vicous scalehide to give the glass knight that last little bit of synergy
well uhh....
i used Acidic Swamp Ooze, Chillblade Champion and like i say Silver Sword
and i dont think that as a best option
and now i recently got Geosculptor Yip and some 400 dust should i smelt yip for another 400 and craft Avenging Wrath or should i keep and craft 1 ?
replacement for Val'anyr and Avenging Wrath ?
cmon I'm only think about Silver Sword
Val'anyr > Tirion Fordring
Avenging Wrath > Spikeridged Steed
Been running these as replacements R10-5 and have been doing fine.
Right now in place of Drygulch Jailor and Lightfused Stegodon I'm running Amani Berserker and Acidic Swamp Ooze.
For whatever reason I've been facing a lot of hunters (playing between levels 10 and 5) and both the Ooze and the Berserker come in super handy. And the Berserker pairs GREAT with BOK. That combo has won me many a game.
Replacement for The Glass Knight ???
Hey! Don't you think it's better to run Chillblade Champions instead of Argent Commanders? Especially now that the deck slowed down quite a bit. I posted a post-nerf list as well, but it's more control-ish.
Chillblade Champion is better imo. You get much better value with a buff from Val'anyr with the lifesteal effect. Plus anything that stays on board after Val'anyr buff is prone to silence big time. I think the life steal gives much better value.
Is The Lich King better than Tirion Fordring ?
Yes. Lich King can give you buffs which work with your minions and provide a few extra damage in order to win. Plus, most people run silence and an 8/8 is better than a 6/6
Why bother having The Glass Knight ? Is it worth the dust?
Nice deck and post - midrange decks are always my favorites. What are your mulligan priorities? It feels weird having Even Paladin without Amani.
