Special thanks to KDK for the feature!
Greetings fellow MADMEN,
We've all seen how Demon Hunter swept the meta. We've all seen how Priest, Warlock, and Mage proceeded to kick the shit out of every other deck. "But where was Paladin?", you may be asking. IT WAS GETTING THE SHIT KICKED OUT OF IT! "What about Libram Pal"--STOP RIGHT THERE! IT'S GARBAGE; YOU UNDERSTAND!? IT ONLY WINS IF YOUR OPPONENT FELL ASLEEP DURING THE MATCH! So you may be wondering, "Well, I might just play with murlo"--SHUT UP! PALADIN ISN'T AN AGGRO CLASS!
After deep, peer-reviewed research into the state of Paladin in Standard, the deficiencies of the class have come to light. No card draw, no sticky minions, no board clears, NO VALUE! Well, as the head scientist at this TOP-NOTCH facility (my basement), I have taken it upon MYSELF to create a good, fun, and competitive Paladin deck for this age of DARKNESS! After hours of experimentation, I have found THE CURE for Paladin MEDIOCRITY (citation)! They said IT COULDN'T BE DONE! WELL, I'M GONNA PROVE THEM WRONG! I'M FURIOUS, I'M VICIOUS, AND SOME MAY EVEN SAY I'M A STRAIGHT UP MADMAN! I DON'T CARE! WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I PRESENT TO YOU MY CREATION, FRESH FROM THE WOMB OF THE META:
HIGHLANDER PALADIN
IS IT ORIGINAL? IS IT A META CHANGER!? Probably not. BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT THOSE BASTARD MURLOCS!
So, some quick explanations for some of my choices:
Why Transmogrifier? IT'S BECAUSE I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS! Have you ever known what it feels like to use a Hand of A'dal on a minion and then drop a FAT, JUICY [deck]Kayn Sunfury[/deck] onto the board!? NO, BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! Know not any longer!! Transmogrifier will make the IMPOSSIBLE, POSSIBLE!
Underlight Angling Rod? INFINITE MURLOCS (infinity may vary)!
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza? Dragons? DRAGONS.
If you want to know what it's like to OUTVALUE A RES PRIEST, THIS IS THE DECK FOR YOU!
FEEL TO FREE TO CRITICIZE!
Try out the deck and find out for yourself. I'm sure you'll find yourself pleasantly surprised.
Iam corious how you can get a gif as a avatar pic.
Hey guys,
I tried out this deck and made a showcase of it! If you are interested in a gameplay video with commentary in legend ranks you can check it out bellow. I did not have new prime murloc so I went for sir finley which seems very fine in every reno version imo. I had very nice game against gala warlock where I just outsmorced the guy out.
I hope you can enjoy it :)
funny meme deck but is only that, a meme. no win potential but kewl stuff man
I play-test all my decks before posting, m8. It was 52% in Gold, 15 games or so. Can't really comment about any higher ranks though
Thanks for the comment!
52% winrate with a 15k dust deck in Gold ... yup that's definitely a non-viable meme deck.
Why no Finley?? He's basically the only reason to play highlander paladin over like highlander shaman or any other class with no inherent support.
1. This deck should be played as if it was a Tempo deck, which I feel Sir Finley does poorly (you'll find yourself rarely using the hero power, and you may lose Tempo in most cases).
2. This deck was made for the novelty of winning games with Paladin. If you wish to use Shaman, use Shaman.
3. If Sir Finley is a "must have" in the deck, feel free to switch out one of the cards in my deck list for him. Another poster mentioned switching out Murgle for him (Murgle is good for late-game interactions, however).
4. I don't like Sir Finley or its interactions.
Thanks for the comment!

Most upgraded hero powers are very high tempo, though. Finley is one of the better Highlander cards because he’s so adaptable. If you’re facing Aggro, you can go for Heal or Tank Up. If you need board control, you can get Fireblast Rank 2, Dire Shift, or The Silver Hand. If you want to SMORC, you can go for Demon Hunter, Hunter, or Rogue.
I don't disagree with the logic, I just don't feel Finley fits in the deck with the way I designed it. Perhaps someone can make a better version that incorporates Finley.
Body Wrapper? In this day and age?? .....I like it
Thalnos might be better off being something else with only 2 spells benefiting from it.
Cool deck though, I might give it a shot.
The deck relies on card draw, and Thalnos is a more versatile choice than Novice Engineer. If you have one or the other, feel free to switch him out.
Thanks for the comment! Enjoy!
My favourite part is rightly saying paladin isn’t an aggro class, nearly cried I laughed so much I’m gonna give the deck a shot.
Read your intro. Laughed so hard I felt obligated to up vote.
