Well Met !
I am a French player playing in team Millenium. I did top 32 at the last Dreamhack Winter and i am almost always top 100 on the EU ladder.

Today i am here to present the best Paladin Dragon deck possible (currently made with only the 3 first wings). I did top 50 quite easily with it and i really think it is possible to climb even higher with it. I managed to build a deck that will bring you a lot of fun and make you grind even in legend. What are you waiting for ?
Match-Up :
Strong against : Druid, Zoo, Warrior, Paladin, Tempo Mage
50/50 Match-up : Hunter, Handlock, Priest
Weak against : Rogue, Mage Frost
Why don't i play ?
- Azure Drake : I think the curve with azure drake is too high. You have a very good late game and i think the Lay on Hands is enough. Playing too much turn 5 can cost you games. I prefer playing 2 Twilight Drake that will you make gain the board.
- Antique Healbot : By experience (since i played almost 50 games with the deck), you need it only against hunter face. It's not useful against Zoo since you are playing the board. But even without the healbot i have a 50% against hunter face. That's why i chose not to play the card.
- Onyxia : You have Alextraza and Ysera that will be more consistent. But eventually if you do not have both of these legendaries, you can fill the spot with Onyxia.
- Iron Beak Owl : You can consider removing a Zombie Chow for an Iron Beak Owl.
What will change with the 5th wing of BRM :
As for the 5th wing, i am not a huge fan of the dragons that will appear. But Blackwing Corruptor should easily be put in the deck.
Wow this deck is probably good tho i guess every deck is good with 8 LEGENDARIES
So far I have won 1 game with this deck. It seems so heavy in mana cost. If I can make it to the end I know I will be doing good but I can't compete with so many minions. Could be also that turn 1 I have 27 mana worth of cards in my hand and that is an average.
EDIT: Yea I can't win anything with this deck. Again I am not playing this at legend rank. So maybe the deck is not "bad" but just not working for me at this rank. Way to fast and just being out classed and out valued.
You could try cutting TBK and Alex and adding in a few anti-aggro techs (another MFB, Healbot, Annoy-o-tron). 2 9-manacost dragons seems excessive and I don't feel like TBK is that much value in this meta.
Good idea I will be trying those additions. Thanks.
Hello! I've experienced lack in the early game, about 20% win ratio atm, when it is 70 with my non-dragon paladin. Any tips on that?
And when are you udpating this deck for fifth wing?
I replaced Alex for Chromaggus. That LoH with Chrom on the board = super value
Super Auto-mill
I really question what Alexstrasza does in paladin since it has absolutely no burst. Sure, if you have a decent board then you kill the opponent quicker, but isn't that the case with everything? Is it a win more card or was it slapped in because of the dragon synergy? Apologies for sounding overly cynical/critical but I genuinely don't know why you would put Alex in this deck.
This is a lot better than all the others i've seen.
-1 The Black Knight
+1 Rend Blackhand
The reason why I put Rend in is because he can hit all the targets that bgh can't and there are enough dragons in the deck to activate the battle cry consistently. Sure he won't be able to survive long enough to do any damage, but like bgh, as long he destorys a high threat target, it is worth it in the long run. Plus, priest liked to take my legendaries and soo, rend saved my ass on that aspect.
Even though I dropped from rank 11 to rank 12, i still see the potential in the deck, I just need to pilot it more and make correct meta calls along the way.
+1
Just put this deck together for some friendly's with a friend.
Pantsed him every time!
It's true this deck is alot of fun.
Although i don't have doctor boom and i forgot to put emperor in!
still the deck worked perfectly though.
For the curent meta i only have one thing to say, this deck got me from rank 5 to rank 12 in a day
playing with a blindfold isn't a good idea .
It really important for Zombie Chow
but my deck no need Alexstrasza
If you don't have this card you can replace with Nefarian but it risk to random enemy spell and also can replace with Chromaggus
Rend Blackhand usually get a chance but 4 health = 1 spell or 1 enemy minion die so we get Big Game Hunter and Equality is enough but you will very need him when enemy use Kel'Thuzad
is tirion replaceable?
He's the most important part. If one could craft any class legendary it would be him or Archmage.
A cheap replacement would be Sunwalker but it's totally not the same.
Hey, which of Malygos, Deathwing or Chromaggus replace Ysera best? I'm leaning towards Chromaggus.
Yeah Chrom is the best, if you want to play these Dragon decks craft Ysera ASAP
Alright. I've noticed StrifeCro's latest variation runs Chromaggus over Ysera, but it's too early for the deck to be set in stone especially without week 5's cards. He also hasn't streamed the deck in a couple days now, though.
Isn't there a way to have room for all 3 dragons? (Ysera, Alex, and Chromaggus)
i personally took out Dr Boom for Chromaggus; is this reasonable?
I think that's a bit overkill. Dr. Boom is kinda too good to pass up, and Mill_OrigiN probably hit top 50 with this particular list for a reason; maybe after wing 5 to have more activators for Blackwing Corruptor, but we'll have to see.
