Tommy Wave featured the deck in a video. Thanks Tommy!
Named after the many crystal themed cards included like Crystalsmith Kangor, Crystology and Crystal Lion this Paladin deck is looking for exactly two things in the mulligan. The first is either Drygulch Jailor or Crystology which searches for said jailor. The second is a hand-size payoff card like Mountain Giant or Twilight Drake. If all things go well you can actually get a turn-3 giant, even by using The Coin on turn-1 for Crystology. We are control in nature, but being a Genn Greymane even deck means we guarantee a turn-1 play and also keep our hand large by just using hero power instead of actually playing the 1-mana dudes in hand. The only other 1-attack minion is Crystalsmith Kangor which supports the Corpsetakers and combos with Holy Light against aggressive matchups. Your most likely use of Holy Light is just to heal up a huge giant or drake, just make sure you hit the emote "wow" because you actually get to say Holy Light while playing it! While not a perfect list, I was able to go from rank 10 to rank 5 completely undefeated even while still learning the deck. Check out the extended gameplay video to watch the run!

Any replacement for Sunkeeper Tarim?
Pretty fun deck. I did tweak it a bit though:
-1 Mossy Horror, -2 Corpsetaker -> +1 Lay on Hands, +2 Spikeridged Steed.
2x Mossy Horror feels excessive after the nerf to Giggling Inventor, and I found that Corpsetaker just doesn't have enough activators and there isn't really room to fit them in. So I added Spikeridged Steed since they are great defensive cards and Lay on Hands to give you that extra healing and late-game value for the matches you need them.
I will say, Holy Light is A LOT better in this deck than I expected. I cut them at first but turns out you really need them.
Ppl rly hate playing good meta decks to upvote this one so much...anyway good for casual not going to help anyone climb ladder
do you not see the video where he is climbing ladder?
God forbid anyone play a deck that is not on the cutting edge of ladder ranks.
I play this with -1 Mossy Horror, -1 Crystology in favor of +2 Spikeridge Steeds
Upvoted mostly because of this hint: "make sure you hit the emote "wow" because you actually get to say Holy Light while playing it!"
But overall a really cool idea for a deck anyways :)
You maintain a pretty big hand size. Crystology counts as card draw. Too much and you are milling cards
Thank you for this. Very cool deck. - mossy +harpy +blessings of kings
For all of you complaining about two Mossy Horrors... This deck was created before nerf of Giggling inventor, so... feel free to replace it with whatever you want.
I was skeptical of a deck playing so many giants without Naga Sea Witch, but the hand & board synergies combine nicely here! The consistency at which you can deploy an early Jailor is great and really smooths out the draws. Played a few games with a slightly altered list (-1 Mossy Horror, +1 Windfury Harby), check them out;
(Games start at 3:39)
Definitely recommend this list for anyone who wants to play a bunch of big beefy boys in a paladin shell.
Cheers and thank you for such an awesome deck!
how can you run 2X Crystology and only three 1-attack minions? doesn't seem consistent to me.
Good deck Mason, i have been on your streams. You're a very good streamer and you are making good decks! Good luck!
I'm not a fan of Holy Light , yeah sure you can heal a giant but I don't think it is worth a deck slot. Did you try Wild Pyromancer instead ? It can combo with Equality for a full board clear and he is overall a good card.
Also, 2 Mossy Horror seems too much in this deck, specially when Spikeridged Steed exist. You should try to swap 1 Mossy and 1 Crystology for 2 Spikeridged Steed
The Holy Lights were super necessary. There were so many burn mages and odd rogues during the climb, that Crystology > Kangor > Holy Light was a BIG deal
Nice to see Even Paladin getting some love.
On the other hand, you have only 3 targets for 2x Crystology: you might want to drop one.
You could keep your crystal amount intact by replacing with The Glass Knight!
Baku the Mooneater is the best replacement for you
Nice deck, nice idea and written in a nice way! Thanks!
I am only missing Tarim, but do not want to craft him anymore at this point. What would you suggest as replacement? Glassknight maybe?
He will be rolling still in standard for next 5 months
tarim is virtually unmissable in this deck. he combos extremely well not only with the 1 mana hero power but also with kangor, and the minions from your jailors.
