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.
drop Sylvanas
as far as aid against aggro/rush decks, a lot of people have been using Coghammer,i only have 1, though i'd use 2 in a heartbeat after seeing how well it does against those aggro decks. putting divine shield and taunt on a Zombie Chow has netted me +2 minions before and has allowed me to go into the mid-game fairly alright in terms of health and card advantage, plus having the 2 attack weapon helps with taking out what you Hungry Dragon spawns. i've also been trying out teching in Seal of Light so my cog can be 4 attack, or my Truesilver Champion be at 6, which ive found the truesilver thing is good for taking out hungry dragon. my friend has also been using Faerie Dragon as one of the dragons to get taunted up with divine shield and it is surprisingly strong in certain situations. i mean you have a divine shield minion that is immune to spells and hero power so you gotta use a weapon, minion attack, or minion effect to bypass that.
Ysera much better
I made a deck very similar to this as I am laddering it up to get legend before season ends. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Its one of those cases where i just dont believe someone made it from start to finish then to top 50 EU/NA or whatever and only play 50 games with the deck, this means roughly 25 wins? Maybe im insane, i dunno.
Anyhow, my variation is pure mid-range and it deals with hunter meta AND heavy control meta, some additions etc:
Seal of Lightx 1-2
Equality +1
Divine Favor x2
Hungry Dragon x2
Faerie Dragon x2
- 1 lay on hands
+1 Avenging Wrath
I'm running with Chromaggus and it's been working out well so far, sets up for quite some nasty stuff.
Absolutely worthless in the current meta. Unless you get a really lucky early draw its an auto gg. This isn't just speculation. This is after about fifty games of almost zero advancement.
This deck has absolutely no place in the meta though. Hunter opponent and GG.
No it doesn't, not without lots of early minions, and even then without healbots you most likely can't live until LoH time.
Just played about 10 games with this deck, won about 2. Now, 10 games isn't a very big sample size, but it's impossible to win without having board control the entire game. As well as not having very much removal at all, it makes it hard for this deck to have staying power.

Okay, you mention how this deck is weak against mage (frost)? Well, it's not. Just replace one sludge with one kezan mystic and you have the game in the bag.
-1 sludge
+1 mystic
I literally just ate one alive. He even got his antonidas out so i 5/5 corrupted him from ysera then aldor peacekeepered and loatheb... 28hp me plus his iceblock on me HILARIOUS!
GG
Swaped Allexstrasza for Ragnaros, nice deck
I think you need this

This deck is really good if you get chow or the mechs in starting hand. Really enjoying it so far!
Currently having some problems against some aggro like Zoo, Facehunter is 50/50, do you really think its a good idea to include hungry dragon?
Azure drake seems better than twilight i suppose
I don't know about this deck. With only 5 cards < 3 mana, its board presence is usually lacking compared to other decks.
Most Dragon-paladin decks will have very little early-game presence. Simply because of the lack of core cards below 3 mana. (Excluding Technician)
If you want a deck with consistent board pressure, take a look at my interpretation of the build, it's giving me a pretty consistant win rate against Anything aside from Mill Rogue.
Rend instead of TBK?
