I've used this deck to get to Legend for the first time from rank 5 in about two and a half days. Went from rank 5 to rank 2 in one evening, so winrate should be pretty good. Its mostly a standard midrange Paladin with some tech choices (thanks to my friend Morkholt)
Proof:
I ve switched out the 2nd Zombie Chow for Harrison Jones quite a bit back and forth but 2nd Zombie Chow is essential against face hunter and other aggro decks. Missing that first turn can lose you the game.
tech cards:
- Solemn Vigil, i wasn't a believer until i tried it out and its a really useful tech card in my opinion, usually you can use it after a 1-1 trade for 3 mana, but often fighting for board control SV for 1 or 0 mana is possible. Otherwise its still OK in later stages of the game if you are out of options even for 5 mana.
- [card]Acidic Swamp Ooze[/card], so many weapon classes, so useful against all of them - can really make a difference otherwise decent 2 drop
- Azure Drake, draw, combo drake + consecration clears any patron warrior threat
I have switched out 2nd Quartermaster, Blessing of Kings, Argus (and Harrison) for these 4 cards and it really made a difference at least for me.
Midrange Paladin was always my favorite deck and i have never really tried to get past rank 4 before but with this deck i made legend relatively easily on EU despite a lot of Face-Hunters, Midrange Hunters and other aggro.
If you have any questions about mulligan or matchups go ahead, i ll try to answer everything.
mulligan?
Taked Legend with that deck. I have switched out the 2nd Zombie for Kezan.
I really shouldn't even be asking, but are there any substitutes for the Naxx cards and Sylvanas? I know it's dumb to think that there are, but I'm curious to know it anything could possibly work without them.
Hi. I have been using your deck to ladder -- this exact list, no changes. I was having incredible success with it, shot all the way up to rank 4 (from like rank 15). Hardly lost a game in this stretch, it was a beautiful thing.
Now all of a sudden it's like I have hit a wall, I can't seem to win consistently anymore. I'm stuck between rank 5-6. What's weird is, I haven't noticed any major shifts in the meta and I am playing the deck the exact same way -- very consistent play, not taking any fancy gambles or anything. Granted, there has been a little bit of unfortunate RNG, but I think there is more to it than that. Maybe the players at this level are just that much better, I'm not sure.
Not able to figure out what (if anything) I should tweak in the deck to make the final push here. I seem to do poorly against druids and warriors. Breaking about even with everything else at the moment. I guess I could try Loatheb instead of Sylvanus. At the moment I've pulled out the Azure Drake and I'm using a Guardian of Kings in its place (which I know is probably stupid -- but having the 6 extra health cushion in some of these long-running games might be helping).
If you have any other suggestions please let me know. I really like this deck. The Solemn Vigil and Acidic Swamp Ooze are perfect tech choices IMO.
Thanks. Really appreciate your response. Will keep working at it. :)
you can try loatheb instead of sylvannas, really hurts all classes, helps finishing some games early
I've heard that midrange pally is great against handlock, but I can't seem to do well against them.
How do you play the handlock matchup?
I'm 7-2 currently with this deck at Rank 4. Thanks for sharing it.
