9/13/2015 UPDATE: +1 Consecrate -1 Blessing of Kings

9/23/2015 UPDATE: +1 Annoy-o-tron +1 Blood Knight +1 Blessing of Kings -1 Coghammer -1 Argent Protector -1 Argent Horserider

Annoy is safer on curve than Argent, Blood Knight is really good in the meta as it gives you an easy 6/6 with just your own creatures, and can give you some huge blowouts vs other paladin/mech decks.

 Meta has changed, so have our matchups. For awhile there I wasn't very happy playing this deck after my very clean run to legend, but now that things are a bit more stable I think we're in a pretty good spot.


 

Hi, my name is Bosta and I'm a magic the gathering player finally putting forth a serious effort in Hearthstone. Hopefully you see more of me in the future.

I started with the meta snapshot aggro paladin from tempostorm, and I was doing really well with it. Soon I started making changes based on the meta I was seeing. My first day of playing it I had an 82% win rate, getting to rank 2. Day 2 I spent a couple hours and after a couple on-tilt mistakes and bad matchups finally hit legend ending at 71%. I started playing this deck at rank 8 and clocked in 76 games.

Multiple people have been asking for my list, and have been having mediocre success. I find this deck a lot harder to play than other aggressive strategies (Face hunter) or control strategies. You need to know when trading is profitable and when to go to the face. I can promise you if you stick with this deck you will become a better player, and for those naturally good at knowing who/what to attack you'll do great.

This is the snapshot of my deck I utilized at rank 2 for the meta I was facing which roughly consisted of:

Secret Paladin, Midrange Hunter, Druid, Control Warrior

Against these decks cards like Consecration lose their value significantly. If you are unable to profitably trade and are falling behind on board, consider replacing an Equality/1 Blessing of Kings for 2 Consecrate. This would be in the face of other aggressive paladin decks, Demon zoo (Implosion is brutal), and token druid. Consecrate doesn't line up well against Mech Mage, or the majority of midrange strategies I find. It also plays poorly with Divine Favor.

 

With enough upvotes I'll make a mulligan guide and perhaps do some more card evaluations. I think the only card I want to touch upon is:

Coghammer

-This card is nuts. It basically controls the board on its own vs Face Hunter, Tempo Mage, Zoo and Secret Paladin. I have nothing but praise for it, as it pulls double duty vs midrange decks that cannot commit multiple creatures to the board allowing you free reign to cave in their face.

Hope you like my deck, and I'm excited to share more of my lists in the future.

 

Matchups 

Excellent(75%+)

Handlock (Equality, owls and divine favor. Hard to lose)

Good(60%+)

Secret Paladin (This deck finally stabilized, and we are a lot better vs the aggressive versions than the midrange one. It's a slightly favourable matchup)
Midrange Hunter (It's a crap shoot on what secrets they have, but do your best to play around them. Unless we run real bad and they get perfect animal companions/curve out perfectly into highmane we have an advantage. Keep the board as clear as you can until it's time to space jam their face. A well timed mid game taunt from Cog or Annoy can wreck them. Don't be afraid to owl Shredders/Highmane and trade if you can afford to)
Control Warrior (No Justicar one time -_- We can run these guys over, Divine Favor and Divine Shields are MVP)
Shaman (This might be 75%+, I never see them anymore)
Face Hunter (We can usually just keep the board clear and burst them down faster than they can burn us out. Be mindful of unleash and explosive)

Even(50%)

Druid
Zoo
Dragon Priest

Bad (Sub 50%)

Deathlord Priest (You want owls and favors real bad)
Mech Mage (This matchup got a bit better with recent inclusions, probably around 45%)
Patron Warrior (I think this matchup got better. I feel like we're getting close to the 50% mark)
