This is a very cheap paladin deck, that actually works.

The deck was designed around the old mid-range hunter. When Starving Buzzard was a thing.

I've seen a lot of people try to make the Control Dragon paladin work, I've even tried to make it work, but its turns out to be too slow and greedy. because of this, I've tied to think outside the box.

last season, I used  a paladin rush deck with secrets, just for fun, and it seemed to win a few games. So i thought, maybe i could combine the two decks. after some tries, this came out. I took out most of the legendary dragons and even Doctor Balanced ( Dr. Boom), to see how cheap the Deck could be.

it still won me a lot of games! Versus Real Constructed decks: Mech Mage , Face Hunter, Warrior, Combo Rouge, Tempo Druid, and any of the Zoo Decks out there. This deck could defeat anyone of them. I Don't know if my opponents were surprised or i was lucky, but in the end, this deck still won. the only deck i need to do more research on is Freeze Mage. not too many of them around rank 4.

the deck works like this: 

• You play early minions to fight aggro, If no aggro, use them to apply some annoying pressure. use Mad Scientist's secrets to help deter your opponent from trading on their turns. The Redemption helps throw opponents off and to save  minions for the eventual trade investment.

• If it's a good time to trade ( i.e. have a Cult Master and/or Volcanic Drake in hand), trade like it's the stock market. Cult Master and Solemn Vigil are great for fetching the Volcanic Drakes, this creates tempo swings. usually your opponent tries to stop this tempo swing with spells and board clears, this sets off your traps, the ones your opponent been playing around. So many times, have i seen my opponent kill my Cult Master, it revives as a 4/1, then buffs a Volcanic Drake to a 9/6.

• Use Aldor Peacekeeper and Truesilver Champion to stop late game minions. this is when you play your other dragons to draw and keep tempo. when you play Chromaggus, you'll actually have minions to target with Blessing Of Wisdom. this extra draw helps close games. drawing these cards actual proved useful in the late game.

in the end, you have an early, mid, and late game. with an easy to create deck list.

If you would like to add any minions, you can.  just -1 Blessing of Wisdom/ Redemption/ Argent Protector. Good picks are BGH, Dr. Boom, Sludge Belcher, and The Black Knight. you can try Ysera, just doesn't seem to work for me.

Usually i have no problems with face hunter. if you are, try adding the usual consecrations, and see if that helps, i haven't needed them yet.

oh and by the way,

this deck is hilarious to play :)

have fun.
