Hearthpwn

Dear Hearthstone players, if you're seeing this deck, it's probably because you searched for "most popular" paladin decks or something similar.

I don't know how it became popular, nor do I understand how it got so many upvotes, but I can assure you of one thing:  THIS DECK SUCKS.

I only needed a few wins to hit 500 with my paladin, so I was desperate to find anything decent. Unfortunately, I found this deck. It's so unbelievably bad that it actually caused me to dislike the game.  Yes, this deck is so bad and so frustrating it will actually make you fall-out-of-love with Hearthstone.  

Why is it so bad?  The most simple way to describe it is by saying you'll win less than 20% of games. I know this from experience.  So what goes wrong? It's fundamentally broken. The way it's supposed to work is: you "cheat" out big minions early. This is done by using duel or prismatic lens.  Here's the flaw: the idiot that assembled this deck included cards that will negate the effectiveness of duel & prismatic. Ideally, what you want prismatic to do is swap the cost of a low-level spell like desperate measures with the cost of a high level minion like bull dozer.  However, the inclusion of Archmage Vargoth & zilliax can sabotage this desire effect.  Furthermore, the medium-high cost of consecration and duel means there are even more chances for your prismatic draws to fail.  What you want is a 1-cost bull dozer, but what you end up getting is a 5-cost archmage vargoth.  It's frustratingly stupid and broken. 

The deck's creator also sabotaged the effectiveness of other cards. Kangor's Endless Army should be great in theory. It SHOULD give you 2 bull dozers and a damaged stegotron for a mere 7 cost. In order for that to happen though, you would have had to play all 3 of those cards already.... which never ever happens.  Instead, you're forced to play Zilliax out of desperation because the deck is trash so the board will be full of enemies and your hero will be nearly dead.  Thus if you ever do get a chance to play Kangor's, you end up getting a lowly zilliax out of it. 

The deck just does not work.... especially right now with the spam/face/lackey meta being so popular. You'll be dead by round 6.

Do you like getting face rolled by crappy lackey spam decks???!?!?!

You too can go 2-12, just build this deck!

I'm 1-5 with this deck.... it's just not good. 

I lose to absolute garbage decks at level 20. Literally wild boar spam decks are beating this deck.

EDIT:
2-9 now.

Maybe it's good at better ranks, but at rank 20 it just gets annihilated by garbage face-rush decks.
If you get absurdly lucky and prism out a 1-cost vargoth to combo with a duel, you have a slim chance to win. More likely you'll have bad luck and pull out vargoth/zilla with a duel card.

If you say the deck is good, prove it with a video.... but I know you can't, because the deck is garbage.

EDIT: 2-11 now... rofl, the deck is trash

Ya, you're right about the win rate!

2-11 at rank 20 rofllllllllllllll

old list with shit changes... Another downvote
