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.
How can you compare the two? They have two common targets, Tirion and Al'Akir. Don't replaced TBK, he is amazing
I have him, and it seems like in a dragon deck he can be more effective. Killing ysara is better then lets say belcher.
I just wanna use him so much... Thought about putting him instead of dr. Balance...
Such a coll animation too.
TBK does very good against druids
Agreed. I'm keeping in Rend for TBK. I understand that TBK has more targets and would probably see more play than Rend, but I know Blackhand will pull through for me. Also because of the fact he actually synergizes with a lot of your deck.
I believe he's saying that he doesn't own The Black Knight, so he intends to replace it with rend.
But in all honesty, if you're willing to spend 7 mana on a Rend Blackhand, you can spend 8 on Stampeding Kodo + Aldor Peacekeeper combo.
Kodo on it's own is useful against this deck's current weaknesses, and will benefit you much more. (Free clear on Snowchugger)
I do own TBK. Just saying that rend might even be useful here.
Turn 7 opponent plays boom, i play rend.
He has now 2 boom bots, i have a 7-4 for the same cost.
Also a great solution to big dragons like chromaggus and ysara.
This deck is amazing. 67% win ratio so far in 39 games.
However the moment you lose board control the game is over. So keep that in mind when playing. If you're too conservative you will simply just lose.
Also I replaced 1 Twilight with a Healbot. Too much damage in my meta, desperately needed the extra heals and the drakes weren't doing much anyway.
Dragon's deck are so expensive. Isn't there any discounted dragon deck for beginner?
This particular deck archetype is rather expensive.
I would start out with a cheaper aggro hunter or zoo.
I guess so. Well time to go back playing my Shaman. LOL I don't know why so many dislike while asking for a cheaper alternative.
Lost 5 games out of 5 with this deck.
Faced:
Demon lock
2 Druids
and 2 shamans
lost incredibly each time very one sidedly. too draw dependent from the get go. If you don't get your cards at the start you auto lose. Deck is way too top heavy and has very little removal to come back from. I don't recommend this deck very much. 5 games is a small sample size to ask a deck on but if the games were even close it would be different.
Any replacement for Tirion?
no
Chromaggus turn 6.
This deck is crap.
Dont play it.
i usually hang around rank 7/8 and cant make it past 14.
Stop copy pasting this onto posts.
Replacement for Alex?
A big body. Perhaps Guardian of Kings. Ragnaros the Firelord. Any big legendary really.
So I am missing quite a few of the legendaries in this deck. (Alextrasza, Sylvanas, Dr. Boom, Tirion and The Black Knight). Any suggestions on what to replace them with?
Don't play the deck...
