A lot of people were bummed out when Paladin got hit by the Equality nerf...but when one deck falls, another will rise up!  So I said, why even bother with spells at all?? And thus Spiteful Paladin was born!  Paladin has many great tools at their disposal without the use of spells: plenty of lifesteal, great trading minions, and huge late game threats among others.  This deck has been very successful for me lately so I wanted to share it with you guys! Full guide write-up below. I hope you all enjoy this deck :). 

 

Strategy:

Against aggro/midrange (odd mage, odd pally, odd rogue, midrange hunter, even shaman): Board control, board control, board control! (did I say board control?)  Our best minions to do this would be a 1 drop (Fire Fly or Righteous Protector) into hopefully Prince Keleseth or hero power, into Stonehill Defender or Paragon of Light into Corpsetaker or Truesilver Champion into Zilliax or Ghostly Charger.  It is ok to take a bit of face damage when swinging your weapons or to use Glowstone Technician as long as you have taunt and/or lifesteal minions in your hand because with this deck we can gain a lot of life!  Once we pass the midgame is usually pretty easy because we have so many huge minions, either buffed up by Glowstone Technician or just big bois like Spiteful Summoner, Stormwatcher, The Lich King or Ysera

Against control/combo (any priest, cube/control warlock, any druid, big spell mage, odd warrior):  Our early game minions (1-3) aren't really that important in these matchups so the MVP's here are going to be your constant big dudes turn after turn. Getting a Stonehill Defender or Corpsetaker on the board is a good way to kick things off and making a few trades is fine because starting on turn 6 we can drop big threats every turn which is hard to deal with for most decks. Glowstone Technician turns even our decently sized minions into threats our opponent has to deal with.  Careful not to overextend vs these classes because they have a lot of board clears. Usually just laying 1 minion at a time is enough to keep pressuring them.  Nerubian Unraveler is a great card to counter any priest deck and Mecha'thun decks so if you're facing combo be sure to hold onto him until the end.  We don't have any card draw besides Lay on Hands because our minions pack so much value by themselves.

 

Mulligan:

Aggro/midrange: Fire Fly, Righteous Protector, Prince Keleseth, Paragon of Light, Corpsetaker, Truesilver Champion

Control/combo: Stonehill Defender, Corpsetaker, Truesilver Champion, Glowstone Technician, Nerubian Unraveler, Spiteful Summoner

 

Card Reasonings:

Paragon of Light: great stats for a 3-drop and can be buffed by Farraki Battleaxe, Prince Keleseth, Glowstone Technician, or Sunkeeper Tarim to get lifesteal and taunt!

Chillblade Champion: Lifesteal for Corpsetaker and when buffed up via Glowstone Technician or Farraki Battleaxe is a pseudo Leeroy Jenkins!

Ghostly Charger: Divine shield for Corpsetaker and trades incredibly well! Can be buffed up in your hand to make even bigger trades and be similar to a Vilespine Slayer!

Glowstone Technician: The secret MVP here! We have 25 minions in this deck so this card is guaranteed to give you tons of value!  Increases your lifesteal/rush minions and big threats to be even harder to remove!

Stormwatcher: Windfury for Corpsetaker.  Great to have windfury minions on board to be targets for Dinosize.  Also a huge threat when buffed up!
