Was bored of the current decks and wanted to mess around with all the Dude cards we got this expansion.
At first the deck was somewhat heavier with 2x Sandwasp Queen and High Exarch Yrel instead of 2x Oh My Yogg! and an extra Blessing of Kings . Oh My Yogg! has been absolutely insane vs most board clearing decks and board spreading decks. It basically protects your full board of 2/3 divine shield dudes from a clear. You can see in the Deck Tracker how much of a difference these changes made, going 12 - 3 after it.
The deck plays quite similar to the midrange decks of old, only this time with more synergies and quite a bit of value. The only card I'm not entirely satisfied with is High Abbess Alura, but she carried her weight in the end.
Edit: After the High Abbess Alura nerf, it's best to replace her with either Murgur Murgurgle or Imprisoned Celestial, since I was already not sure whether I wanted to keep her BEFORE the nerf.
Edit: HOLY SHIT, HSReplay just posted on Twitter that this deck is the 3rd best to climb with to Legend. I can't believe enough people even play it to become part of the statistics. Thank you all for trying it out!
Hey,I can't get the air raid,can u help me ?
I have all the cards rather air raid so how can i earn it?
its in Adventure mode - Galakrond's Awakening
you gotta beat -> sir finley to get it - not sure but i think its the free 1/2 wing of the adventure (if not its 700 G)
ya it might be the first mission in the adventure so its free then i believe
Thanks! Appreciate a lot.
Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, you can only get it through the adventure, and it's about to rotate the 30th. But if Dmo is right, that would be pretty sweet.
I personally prefer to play this deck with liabriams and blessing of authority over kings
Is there a replacement for Air raid?
Air Raid synergizes extremely well with Lothraxion, Carnival Barker and Balloon Merchant. I'd say it's rather important. People in the comments have said they aren't drawing quick enough to get the pieces they want, so perhaps replacing them with early draw could give you the edge.
Interesting addition. I faced several Face Hunters, that was my sole reason for adding the Amber Watchers in the first place (and because of Stealth/Aggro Rogue), but I like the way you think.
Thanks ! i tried to utilize the Bronze Explorer as best as i could since vs many face decks even 1 heal from Amber watcher was pretty much the end in any rate as i overwhelmed them with my board so , it was really nice ending up with a 3 cost in hand instead of a 5 cost after an unlucky mulligan and the vallue it generated was crazy in certain match ups ! i'm sooo happy , i've played even paladin before but i think this deck is far far better ! if played correctly you never run out of hand/board/life it's insane !
Haha, loving the enthusiasm. Also good to see that there are more people who still like the more Midrange play-style of Paladin. True, vs Control decks, even if they somehow get to clear your board over and over, you have a good amount of cards you can generate to keep up the pressure with.
Went from diamond 10 to legend with this deck in a few days. Probably around 60-65% winrate. Started off hot with 16-4 W/L then evened out to 30-15 ratio from then on. Read a comment about adding 2 blessing of wisdoms and taking out 1 school and murgle for the card draw and it worked very well . The BoW would either swing the game in a must needed card draw or even worked in the enemy minion where they would t even attack with it. Overall deck is very fun Very solid against aggro rogue which I played like 30-40% of the time.
This deck is nuts ! went from D5 to legend with just 1 little change if i may , i swapped -1 Amber watcher for + 1 Bronze explorer because that helped me with early game and enabled me to do some serious bluffs that resulted in wins !
Hell yeah Kumatae! It all depends on your pocket meta, and indeed whether you feel the need to have more card draw. Teching and replacing cards to suit your own play-style more, are things people should do more often, would make the meta more varied as well. Congrats on legend my dude!
I'm trying to figure this deck out. Stuck at low diamond. Actually lost two in a row to a stealth rogue. I dropped air raid early a few times to block some of the early damage but it seems I can never hold onto air raid long enough to proc carnival barker and air raid together (need 5 mana).
How are you timing air raid, carnival barker, and day of Fair? Do you drop barker turn 3 and hope it doesn't get sniped? Day of Fair not corrupted? Hard to get the synergies right with this one, am going roughly 50.50 with it. I've been holding onto barker so I can combo it with air raid or corrupted day at fair but it requires a lot of Mana and I lose board in mean time. Not sure if I'm getting bad draws or what. Any mulligan guide?
Wrecking druid on a side note. Consecration vs glow fly is lol
PS - why not sub one lightforged crusader for high exarch? The games I played with this deck (about 7 so far) lightforged crusader draw felt slow, facing mostly aggro and face decks who just ignore it and kill me. nthe heal from high exarch coulda saved
I replied to someone else on the mulligan phase:
''Usually you don't keep Oh My Yogg, unless you're sure you're facing a control deck, a Druid that wants to ramp or a spell heavy deck such as Mage. 14 out of the 30 cards are spells, so keeping Goody Two-Shields is always a good idea. Redscale and Hand of A'dal so that you can draw through your deck more easily. At times it's fine to use the non-corrupt version of Day at the Faire, it all depends on what you're facing. If you can play a strong board of 3 2/3s on turn 6 vs an Aggro Rogue, it's over for them basically. I also keep Consecration vs Druid since they might be token Druid. Taking care of their board of Glowflies without having to trade is fantastic. After a few games you'll get the feel for the deck.'' On a side-note, vs slower decks, ALWAYS keep Lothraxion in the mulligan.
I tried High Exarch Yrel and it felt like a dead card for the 20 games or so that it was in, once I replaced her and Sandwasp Queen with 2 Oh My Yoggs, it went much, much better. You can of course try her out, your pocket meta might be vastly different from my own. I always cheer people on to change the decks they're playing, even the meta cookie cutters ones, because no one is facing the same crowd of people. As I already stated above, it's completely fine to play the non-corrupted Day at the Faire, vs quick decks at least. You need to have the board vs Stealth Rogue, preferably indeed with taunts. You're probably walking into the trap of wanting to always get off the fun combos, but vs aggro, it's all about controlling them. Mulligan for the Murlocs gets you your heals and Consecration is also a must keep. There's simply a lot of tools to deal with Stealth Rogue in this deck, just don't be greedy vs them, basically.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Eager to try this. Is consecration important in here? Seems to me you have so many good early game cards you wouldn't really need it. I'm going to try some games tonight. I'm excited!
Main reason I have it in there is because I was facing a lot of Token Druid and Aggro/stealth Rogue. It let me remove their board and keep going face instead of trading the entire game. And Aggro/stealth Rogue tends to keep their minions in stealth if you have 1/1 taunts for example on board, which Consecration then takes care off. Good luck once you get the time to play it!
it's too good for counterplay not to have it , especially vs stealth rogue , not having that minion down to draw those cards it destroys them especially if you set a good air raid it's pretty much over for the rogue since they don't run sap/aoe spells
