Hello!
This is the deck that I used to get Legend this season. It is also the deck with my highest win ratio in my history of playing Hearthstone. Getting to Legend this season only took me 9 LOSSES.
If this get lots of views, or if some people request a detailed guide on how to use this deck in certain situations, I will fix that!

UPDATE MULLIGAN GUIDE
Since many requests about a mulligan guide has come in, I will very briefly go over the mulligan you want against the most common classes and decks you are going to face.
Hunter
You generally want to have Zombie Chow, Shielded Minibot, Knife Juggler and Muster for Battle in your hand. However, if you get two of these and a Antique Healbot or Consecreation, it is viable to keep them. Keep in mind that you can only keep these high cost cards if you are certain that you have a strong early game.
Rogue
Shielded Minibot, Zombie Chow and Truesilver Champion are great early cards in this matchup. If you go second it might be worth saving coin for Truesilver Champion so you can easily remove your opponent's SI-7 Agent. Keep in mind that Knife Juggler is a high risk card vs Rogue since both Backstab and SI-7 Agent will punish you hard.
Patron
Here you want to push for damage and really dominate the board until turn 7/8/9 when your opponent does his combo. Therefore, you want sticky minions, such as Shielded Minibot. Knife Juggler is also a good card, but can be easily removed by weapon. Remember to use your Harrison to proc your opponent's Death's Bite when you want, not when he wants it to. Piloted Shredder is also a good card in this matchup. I would not recommend to keep Muster for Battle since it is very easily removed and can bring alot of value to your opponent.
Mirror
Since most of Paladin's early cards have 2 health or less, it is very recommended to keep a Consecreation. Since it very effectively deals with your opponent's board including Muster for Battle. Otherwise, it is recommended to once again keep, Zombie Chow, Knife Juggler, Shielded Minibot and Muster for Battle. Knife Juggler might be better of to be saved until you know it can survive, or when you can combo it with other minions.
Control Warrior
Just push that damage, with all strong early minions. Once again, Zombie Chow, Shielded Minibot, Knife Juggler and Piloted Shredder. Truesilver Champion is a very good clear for both Acolyte of Pain and Armorsmith. Harrison Jones might also be worth keeping your other cards are early cards.
DRUID
You want cards that can deal with their strong creatures, since they are often ahead of mana or could innervate something out. Therefore Aldor Peacekeeper, is a very good card to keep. Otherwise you want strong early minions, such as (ONCE AGAIN) Zombie Chow, Knife Juggler and Shielded Minibot.
I might add more decks/classes later if people feel like something is missing! Good luck to you all!
UPDATE
There have been alot of questions about substitutions for certain Legendaries. Therefore, I will now go through all legendaries in the deck.
Unreplaceable:
Tirion Fordring
Dr. Boom
Replaceable:
Harrison Jones
Sylvanas Windrunner
The Black Knight
For all of these three legendaries, you can replace them with Loatheb, Emperor or in worst case, Azure Drake.

I was stuck with my Ramp druid at R8, but after switching to this I breezed right through to R5 with a winstreak. Nice deck.
Wow nice find. After 5 minutes staring at my own legend rank/name bar I have decided you are correct and that rank pic is 100% fake. Disappointing people would do this pathetic shit. I mean this is already only getting views for the same reason I came here: I thought it was StrifeCro.
I thought it was weird he would post just the name, usually people post decks as well. I didn't see even the name was 'shopped. This is just so incredibly lame.
Respect!
Sorry mate, StrifeCro NEVER play with golden cards.
Oh sorry! Sorry for the misunderstanding, because on comment #19 someone ask you : "Are you really the player strife?" and you answer "Yes!". So I think that many people just assume you were THE player Strife and not another Strife.
Sorry about that.
This is also the exact paladin deck that strifecro plays except with a black knight in it.
That's not the problem. The problem is the crooked lines in the #24 pic that don't exist normally. Cute though that the legend pic you end up showing us is in the 500s. Lol.
Sorry if I was wrong. But what looked like it was shopped was continuity between rank number and player name, not battle tag number that comes after. Again, sorry if we accused you wrongfully.
Paladin is my least favourite class but have had really good results with this deck. It works well against both aggro and control decks and got answers to almost every situation. Really solid, nice deck! :)
hi strife,can you help me decide what to craft Sylvanas or Harrison?I already have all core legs except for these two
Sylvanas, it's a no brainer for every control deck.
Tempo Mage Unstable Portal into Mal'Ganis. I Faceless Manipulator into Big Game Hunter and that's the end of the story.
How can this deck be good if the single bad matchup you listed is the most popular one in current meta?
Because the matchup isn't even that lopsided and the reason that patron is good is because of how well it performs against the majority of meta decks. If you are really concerned with the patron matchup, an extra equality or a something like Bloodmage Thalnos or even Azure Drake can improve your chances against it. Harrison can be a massive help if drawn as well.
Thats why many top legend players are putting Azure Drakes in there decks to make it 3 damage.
I just made legend with a similar paladin deck a couple days ago and if I had lost every Patron Warrior matchup I would have still had a positive winrate. I actually had a 75% winrate against Patron myself with my deck, but I was running a second equality to make it easier to clear/nullify patrons.
Hi there, I've just crafted this deck as closely to the stated build as possible, but I have only enough dust to craft either Lay on hands or Quartermaster, which would you recommend? And are there any replacements?
Great deck btw!(:
lay on hands sir
You didn't list Faceless as a replaceable card or an irreplaceable card. Do you feel it's necessary? I have more success without it then I do with it.
