Hey everyone, I'm Gatormatthew. I finish top 500 on NA every month, and I make educational Hearthstone content. Today's guide is on Pure Paladin. I believe this is the single best deck in the game to play right now, especially outside of legend. Below, I have a quick guide + a 20-minute video where I play a few games with the deck and explain my choices. If you enjoy the guide, feel free to drop an upvote. It helps a lot with guide visibility and will push me to make more guides like this. Enjoy, and good luck in your games :)
Quick Guide: Keep Aldor Attendant,First Day of School, and Shotbot in your opening hand no matter what.Goody Two-Shields and Lightforged Zealot should be kept into slower enemy decks. Keep Libram of Wisdom with Aldor Attendant and always keep it into Warrior.
In terms of a general gameplan, this is the most simple deck out there. You play your minions, your minions tend to have more stats than theirs, you kill their minions, and you hit them in the face with your minions. The deck actually has quite a lot of reach with cards like Hammer of the Naaru and Lightforged Zealot. Versus aggro decks, you just want to survive until you can play Libram of Hope.
None of the legendaries in this deck are required, yes, even Lady Liadrin is replaceable. With any legendary you are missing, just add in good paladin cards to replace them. To replaceLady Liadrin, add another Hammer of the Naaru. To replace Murgur Murgurgle, add Argent Braggart. And finally, to replace High Abbess Alura, add Carousel Gryphon.
If you want to see me play live on Twitch, I stream every weekend from 1pm-3pm EST and every Mon/Wed/Fri from 1:45pm-3:45pm EST. Link to Twitch
Thanks for sharing the deck
In the end i've decided to sub out the two Shotbot for two Devout Pupil due the sheer number of shamans I was facing with their Revolve shenanigans
I just wanted to say thank you for your deck I just hit legendary for the fist time tonight. I played your deck the whole way it’s fun and got the job done.
Great deck! 100 WR rn after like 5 games! What would you recommend as replacement for Shotbot (dont have the adventure)
Currently using Sandwasp Queen as replacement but is by far not as strong
Nice deck, but I have some card draw problems with it. Warlock and priest can easily get rid of big minions, with cards like Cascading Disaster and soon you get empty-handed with many cards in the deck. What's your advice for that?
Play five in a row and lost all, I have all the cards but in the end the other guy always have a turn over. I dont know whether I dont have luck or i am just a very bad player.
Using a very similar deck but using one Oh My Yogg! (thinking of running two), because ir can screw up Druids ramp, burst damage from DM and much more. Try it!
So which one is it now? DH or Paladin?
I'm Gatormatthew. I finish top 500 on NA every month, and I make educational Hearthstone content. Today's guide is on the single best deck to play outside of legend: Aggro DH.
Today's guide is on Pure Paladin. I believe this is the single best deck in the game to play right now, especially outside of legend.
Yeah, no worries. DH was the best deck to play at the time of posting the guide. The meta was unrefined, and aggro DH took advantage of that.
As the meta shifted, 2 major decks starting to show up: Control Warrior and Soul DH. As these 2 decks suddenly dominated the meta, aggro Dh's stock fell (however, I do have an idea to make the matchup vs those decks better)
Again, the guides were posted almost a week apart. Pure Paladin beats Control Warrior and Soul DH, which are the new meta decks. Aggro DH was the best deck outside of legend when I posted the guide, but a swarming of Soul DH's probably stopped that (but again, I will be testing a new aggro build that might have a better chance vs the slow decks)
I appreciate you checking the discrepancies though :)
Thank´s for the reply! I crafted your pally deck and currently grinding from Diamond to Legend. But damn those Control Warriors with their braindead weapons are tough to beat when they don't completely misdraw.
Thank you so much! Been stuck in Plat 5 (I know it's bad) for months because of little time to play the game. Played 2 hours last night and got to Diamond 10 for the first time ever with this deck! Win rate of 79 % (must have been lucky).
Awesome!
Thanks, this deck got me to legend again..
I usually only play til diamond 5 and reap the rewards, but after they got Achievements, i had to reach legend again.
winrate about 65% from d5 - legend
Great to hear that!
Any replacement for 2x shotbot. locked behind a paywall
Argent Braggart. Warning: I think the deck will become a lot weaker with the lack of a proactive 2 drop. But braggart is better lategame.
I dont have High Exarch Yrel , how can replace him?
Run an extra hammer of the naaru or run Lady Liadrin (if you cut lady)
Hello, Gatormatthew. I enjoy your work. I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put in as a content creator for HS providing me and others your content. I want to thank you for all of this so I will be upvoting this deck, and your videos. Please continue to contribute to this community :D

What would you suggest if I would need to replayce High Exarch Yrel?
