Hey guys my name is MrPancake and I have been playing Hearthstone for over 1.5 years now. I love playing fun decks with cards and combo's that can really surprise the enemy. I have been watching Kripp for a while and some time ago he made a video about a Holy Wrath deck, an idea that has been around for some time but I think this version is actually pretty good. I have made no changes to this deck and I give the full credits to Kripparian for making this deck. This is my first time writing a "guide" about a deck and I am also not a native English speaker, so please forgive any possible mistakes I made while writing this.
Card explanations and combo's:
Muster for Battle is just overall a very good early game card which can deal with a lot of early game pressure from aggro decks and keeps your opponent busy for a turn or two. This slows down the game, which is exactly what you want.
Piloted Shredder is just a really good mid-game value card which most of the time can trade with two of the opponent's minions.
Dr. Boom is in the deck, well, because it's Dr. Boom.
There are also some strong healing cards in the deck like Guardian of Kings, Lay on Hands and Alexstrasza, they help you heal up in the late game and get the game out of the opponents reach, when you get them to run out of steam there is really nothing they can do, and you can just finish the game with your strong late-game minions.
Sea Giant is a really good card against basically all aggro decks that want to put a lot of minions on the board. It also works really well with Reinforce and Muster for Battle because they can quickly flood the board, making the Sea Giant cheaper.
Ancient Watcher + Coghammer. This is a really good early game combo, especially vs aggro decks like Face Hunter. A turn 3 4/5 taunt with divine shield AND a 2/3 weapon is just really strong. The best option for the opponent would be to silence it and go face, but this also removes the text on the Ancient Watcher, which means that you can attack with it.
Equality + Consecration. This is probably the most well-known combo for Paladin and fits this deck perfectly, mainly because you can clear the whole board with this combo, giving you some more time to draw into your late-game cards.
Holy Wrath into Molten Giant. Of course, there is a VERY small chance that this actually happens, but if it does, it will feel pretty amazing. Holy Wrath will do damage equal to the amount of the BASE mana cost of the card drawn, so even if you are below 10 health it will still do 20 damage.
Holy Wrath is good removal in most situations, even if you don't draw into the Molten Giant there is still a good chance of drawing a minion that costs 7 or more. This makes it good removal, especially when you don't really have anything else to do with your mana crystals.
When you are on low hp, you can Molten Giant + Molten Giant + Sunfury Protector or Defender of Argus to set up a really good set of taunters for a very low cost. This is also a mechanic used in Handlock but people will not expect this from a Paladin.
That's it for now, I hope you guys like this deck, even though it might not be as competitive as most decks, but it is certainly fun to play around with. I will link Kripp's video below so you can watch his video about the deck. If you think I should change or add something in this guide, please let me know.

hink this deck has potential. This is the most fun deck I've played with for a while now. I reached rabk 10 with it. But couldn't get anyfurther. I'd say the main reason was my obsession with sweet combo (holy wrath + molten giantcombo) you wouldn't believe how many time it happened.
Anyway along the way i changed a couple of things on this list. I took out one muster for battle and added another coghammer for more taunts. I added a couple of jousting minions for the fun (and the fact that there are alot of high cost minion)
Believe me when i tell you this deck has potential. It does well against both aggro and control. Although against aggro you have to have a good hand. But against control you just have so much that they cant deal with it all
But the holy wrath + molten giant is just too good the sometime i go out of my way to try and use it, which simply make me lse the game. But when it works, the mini-orgasm is worth it.
