In video you can find gameplay and explenation of every move that im doing during the game so you can learn how to play it.
If you like this deck upvote so more people will have a chance to see it.
Mulligan:
Always keep: Cathedral Gargoyle, Doomsayer, Stonehill Defender, Aldor Peacekeeper
vs aggro: Equality + Wild Pyromancer, Equality + Consecration
vs control: Twilight Drake, The Glass Knight
when you have good mana curve keep: Truesilver Champion, Scaleworm, Twilight Drake, The Glass Knight
Board Clear Combos:
Side Notes:
After clearing whole board it's really good to play Doomsayer because on next turn you will be the first one to play minion on board.
Trigger The Glass Knight with Truesilver Champion (OP with coin) or Uther of the Ebon Blade
when you have Cathedral Gargoyle you should also keep other dragon to get Divine Shield
Cathedral Gargoyle = Shielded Minibot
The Glass Knight = Piloted Shredder (but without RNG)
Card Replacements:
The Glass Knight -> Hammer of Wrath (it's not the best replacement but it allows you to instantly kill sth and cycle a card)
Tirion Fordring -> Lay on Hands (you can heal yourself or your minion and draw more cards) or Spikeridged Steed (weak against silence but it's great defensive tool)
Uther of the Ebon Blade -> Bone Drake (more dragons) or Spikeridged Steed (for defense)
Elise the Trailblazer -> Stampeding Kodo (works with Aldor Peacekeeper)
Harrison Jones -> Gluttonous Ooze
The Lich King -> Wyrmguard (other big minion that works with dragons)
Ysera -> Sleepy Dragon (Budget big dragon)
Tech Options:
Tar Creeper - more defense vs aggro
Witchwood Grizzly - taunt is cheat
Cairne Bloodhoof - hard to kill (tech vs control)
Skulking Geist - counter Naturalize, Lesser Jasper Spellstone, Dark Pact, Inner Fire and other 1 mana spells
Card Explanation:
Cathedral Gargoyle - main reason why this deck was created. OP when you have dragon in hand.
Equality - piece of board clear combo
Aldor Peacekeeper - Single target 'removal'
Consecration - board clear that can be used with Wild Pyromancer to deal 3 points of dmg or Equality to destroy opponent board.
The Glass Knight - Nice stats and his divine shield can be re-activated
Truesilver Champion - use to kill minions. Healing is a bonus
Tirion Fordring - one of the best legendaries in game
Uther of the Ebon Blade - mainly for huge amount of healing
Doomsayer - helps to take control over the board in early stages of the game
Wild Pyromancer - can be played for tempo but it should be used with Equality
Stonehill Defender - do you want second Tirion Fordring? hell yea!
Scaleworm - you can easily go for a value trade
Twilight Drake - someone said 'dragons'?
Elise the Trailblazer - because it's a control deck and game might take quite some time so you can wait for the pack and enjoy the goods that you will open later
Harrison Jones - all in one, weapon removal and card draw
Bone Drake - 2-pack of dragons. the second one is surprise
Primordial Drake - board clear + dragon
The Lich King - value, value, value
Ysera - Daenerys would like to have this baby. One of the biggest dragons that you can play in most of control decks.
been trying to get this deck to work all morning and it cant seem to get ahead on board once and im always super behind with everything
Sorry, I'm not familiar with HS acronyms. What's sth?
Just smth.
remove aldor and put in a tar creeper
I've been playing a similar list since release. This deck does not work in this meta. It's unfortunately just not strong enough. Needs a stronger mid-game.
Cool concept but 0 card draw in a Control deck = lose in this meta. I'd get rid of Elise and Aldor Peacekeeper for Acolyte of Pain and Lay on Hands or something similar. Could also contemplate putting in Sound the Bells! with Pyromancer it's essentially a Warpath great against Odd Paladin.
Have you tried it on ladder? Or just casual stuff?
You didn't watch the video, did you?
You mean the one game at rank 5?
This deck will not work on ladder. I've tried similar decks for months. It needs a bit more power that just isn't in the current pool of cards.
Today I faced mainly BigMage , some Hunter Variants ( 60% big Hunter) , a couple Shudderwock Shamans and Hadronox Druid.( 2k Legend eu)
It’s just not the right time for this deck.
dunno but for me the glass knight is outta place just true silver and dk to proc his divine shield and most times it just doesnt happen anyway surly this deck needs draw think id rather just lose the knight and use divine favour or a acolyte in its place :D
is there anything you could add to help draw with this deck its prob its only weakness looks fun to play.
How do you deal with Hadronox Druid?
Really fun deck buddy +1. Happy to see Control Paladin trying to make a comeback especially with dragons. Made a video if anyone is interested, thanks.
I haven't seen Big hunter in past 20 games but if you want to include Sunkeeper Tarim you change Elise the Trailblazer or Bone Drake
