DECK GAMEPLAY
This is a video of Legendary Gameplay
Want to win ranks in no time? Then this deck is for you! This midrange deck is extremely efficient against the aggressive meta that we currently have.
As of 3/15/16 I became legendary. It was achieve with this deck in combination with dragon priest deck
The point of the game is to be able to curve out your big treats while developing the board with tokens to keep grinding their life total off and then finish them with one big hit. You will often see 10/10s or 14/14s on your side of the board. however, when you play against classes that have a lot of removal, make sure to distribute the buffs of your Avenge, Keeper of Uldaman and Blessing of Kings on different minions.
You do not have removal with this deck. however you have the possibility of using Blessing of Kings on a Shielded Minibot or using Keeper of Uldaman against a big threat. You have to make sure that you trade efficiently in the early game to gain control of the board. Don't be afraid to use your weapon to clear the board in the beginning, your dudes and other minions are far more important than a few HP.
Finally, Mysterious Challenger is going to end games for you. even more so if you have another big card to follow. In order for him to be most effective, make sure to mulligan for a hand without secrets. I prefer playing him on a board that has a few minions on my side, but he is just like Dr. Boom if you have him on curve, always play him.
I hope you enjoy the deck, if you try it just tell me in the comments how you did and may the BOOM ever be in your favor!
I would like to write more for this guide, but i want to make sure that enough people are interested first (i just want to know it will get seen if i put effort into it)
I will make sure to answer every question but you can also ask them on my youtube channel: youtube.com/canadianrumpunch
MULLIGANS
- Try to fish for a Zombie Chow. he is your best early game card.
- If you already have a zombie chow, try to get a two drop. Usually i recommend Shielded Minibot, but any two drop will do. if you have a few two drops but you are playing against a class which has a 1/3 on turn one, try to keep the Knife Juggler.
- Try to disregard secrets. They are way better in your deck than in your hand. Always mulligan your secrets.
- If you have a chow and a 2 drop, try to fish Muster for Battle.
- In short, the perfect hand if you start first is : Zombie Chow, Shielded Minibot, Muster for Battle. (replace minibot for knife juggler in a mirror match)
- If you start second, you will want : Zombie Chow, Shielded Minibot, Piloted Shredder.
CARD CHOICES
Avenge: Great to buff your minions due to the high number of tokens.
Competitive Spirit: Excellent due to Muster for Battle and Haunted Creeper.
Noble Sacrifice: This card is excellent against most classes except rogue or druid. It can save you in a pinch and can trigger Avenge.
Redemption: This card has a lot of synergy with your deathrattle minions as well as Shielded Minibot and even Tirion Fordring.
Zombie Chow: This card is potentially the best 1 drop in the game. Excellent when dropped on turn one and can be save from death with Blessing of Kings and Coghammer.
Haunted Creeper: This card synergises well with Redemption and Competitive Spirit when it dies.
Knife Juggler: Excellent when used with haunted creeper when it dies as well as Muster for Battle.
Shielded Minibot: This card is one of the best 2 drops as it can survive a trade and can be very dangerous if buffed with Blessing of Kings and Avenge.
Coghammer: Excellent trade potential as you can almost always kill an enemy minion for free due to the divine shield. Best used when you only have one big minion on the board.
Divine Favor: Can usually help you finish the game as the card draw from this can be incredible. It is also the only card draw mechanic in this deck.
Muster for Battle: Great synergy with Knife Juggler and Competitive Spirit. It can also offers targets for the Keeper of Uldaman.
Blessing of Kings: this card has an excellent damage output. it can make you win trades or just simply win you the game. The prime targets for this are your early game minions like Shielded Minibot as you can clear a huge minion for almost free and Zombie Chow, to keep it from dying. Always use on a minion that can attack the turn you play it.
Keeper of Uldaman: this card is very versatile. Either use it on a huge enemy minion to facilitate a trade or use it on a token on your side to increase your damage output.
Truesilver Champion EDIT: I removed both piloted shredders and replaced them with truesilver champion as it fits the meta more accurately. I heals you and also trades for 2 other cards. Quite effective if you ask me.
Loatheb: Excellent situational card against spell heavy decks like mage, shaman and rogue. use it on curve, or when you think your opponent might finish you off, it could win you the game.
Sludge Belcher: Perfect card to counter aggro decks, and it also synergises with Redemption.
Mysterious Challenger: This card is the core of this deck. Puts a copy of each of your secrets in play. his tempo is on par with Dr. Boom, can usually win you the game by itself.
Dr. Boom: This card is the best turn 7 drop in the game. his immense board presence can win you the game just by playing him on curve.
Ragnaros the Firelord: EDIT: I removed tirion and replaced with ragnaros as the effect he offers is immediate. I think it fits the meta more accurately.
Thanks! This is my new favorite! :)
I am glad you enjoyed
sorry but there isn't much you can do about that, at least not on this page. There are always going to be people that are salty after a loss.
dont worry.
hahaha! I had also a same kind a situation. Added me as a friend and asked "DO YOU LIKE CANCER" "YOU WILL DIE IN CANCER" xD
In my opinion this is better than the standard secret paladin deck, I always love to run a Loatheb, Sludge Belcher, and double Piloted Shredder and some decks just don't do that and they usually cut out a Loatheb for Ironbeak Owl or a Piloted Shredder for something else. But what I like most about this deck is that it is really viable in the four mana replacements as you can replace a kings with a consecration with no problem or replace a kings with a truesilver with no problem. This deck is better rounded than the average secret paladin deck and that has to be one of the key contributors to your success. Really enjoy this deck very similar to what I like to run, and keep creating awesome decks man. I just want to let you know that I also created a video for this deck that you are free to use if you'd like as a guide, I faced a druid and got a little unlucky with Piloted Shredder but still had enough power to win the match up. Once again, awesome deck, hope you all have a great one.
@pandamoniumProductions: I am very happy that you made a video using my deck, it means a lot to me. I think you are doing a really good job at explaining the different options and the actions that you take.
Thank you and take care!
Thank you very much man, and take care.
Always put your shredder in the middle of your board, between all other minions.
Although I play a more traditional Secret Paladin, I tried out your version and find it works just as well. I did make the tweak of removing one Blessing of the kings for a Bolf Ramshield. He seals the deal in the deck versus the more troublesome combo/burst matches that the deck can have trouble with. If you've ever wanted to see a Freeze Mage or OTK deck rage-quit play him and watch your opponent scroll over them and log off. He absorbs more dmg than a belcher but I still like running 1/1 for heavy aggro.
I am glad you are having fun
I'm just curious as to why you use Keeper of Uldaman over Aldor Peacekeeper if it's used to neutralise big threats?
Otherwise looking forward to trying out secret paladin for the first time!
Keeper of Uldaman is alot more versatile and it's main use it to buff up a 1/1 from your hero power, but in a pinch, it can deal with some pretty big threats.
Great answer!
Do you know how i can replace tirion fordring? I have lay on hands, maybe belcher, consec, or kel thuzad? (i dont have ragnaros). lay on hands feels a bit weak though and too controlish, so i was thinking about a bgh for enemy dr boom.
I have seen many versions of this deck without tirion, however you will want more damage. I would say Truesilver Champion could help in the same way.
Looks pretty good, however i would not recommend going without Consecration. Lately i have been seeing non-stop back-to-back paladins
If you feel like you need it, however reno is not usually a problem. However if the meta shifts again and we start seeing reno left and right again, yes it could be a nice addition
Do you recommend adding consecrations into the deck? Also what should I use coghammer on? A big minion late game or a small minion early game to trade? Thx in advance
two consecrations would use the spot of other useful cards in the deck. If you want one you can put it instead of one of the keepers, however you can still do fine without.
As far as the Coghammer goes, you have to use it to win a trade. so when you have it visualise your board and when you can kill something for free, use it.
What other cards would you recommend in replacement of Zombie Chow and Keeper of Uldaman? I have almost 0 wings except for the 2nd naxx. I'm very interested in trying this deck.
I thought about secretkeeper for zombie chows and consecration or aldor for the keeper, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty noobish so I would like your thoughts.
