If you would like to ask me any questions directly and live or be one step ahead of the meta check out my stream at http://www.twitch.tv/sigmasrb at 6 PM CEST almost every day and follow the feeds on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/sigmasrb) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/sigmasrb) for all news! I will try to stream at this time in between 3-5 days a week where I will be playing all of my decks posted here plus some other ones.
Hey guys, Sigma here! First off, sorry for taking so long to upload a deck since the new expansion came out, I've been working on my analysis of the top 10 cards which you can find here: http://goo.gl/MakktM. The second reason is that I really wanted to playtest the decks and make sure that they are good before posting any that would more go into theorycrafting than them being an actual, working deck.
So, without further ado, I present to you my Dreamrattle Paladin, which is a mix of a dragon paladin with a pinch of old Gods, in this case, the almighty N'Zoth, the Corruptor. The deck is working similar to the N'Zoth paladin that is quite present in the meta right now, but is relying on assembling your board presence early on with minions like Faerie Dragon and Blackwing Technician, reinforcing it with strong mid game with the help of Twilight Guardian, Dragon Consort and the high impact Blackwing Corruptor, all while controlling the onslaught of big enemy minions like Flamewreathed Faceless with Aldor Peacekeepers and Keeper of Uldaman and topping it off with the strong deathrattle minions like Sylvanas Windrunner or Tirion Fordring. As nobody will expect a dragon paladin in the first place, N'Zoth will definitely come as a surprise for your opponent. (I've had warriors use both brawls before I drop N'Zoth, simply because they don't expect him).
The A Light in the Darkness always throws people off and confuses them and I see it as as potentially amazing card, as I've gotten Ragnaros, Lightlord out of it more than 5 times and also the cards like Keeper of Uldaman and Aldor Peacekeeper are seen quite commonly as the chances are 4:1 that you will get a paladin minion. 9/9 Ragnaros ftw. Here are some of the screenshots of why this deck rules:
3/6 taunt with divine shield on turn 4? Who doesn't want something like this?
C'Thun decks are as good as won. The 2/3 taunt I got from the A Light in the Darkness.
9/9 Ragnaros PogChamp

I have a lot more amazing screenshots but these are some of them. I've managed to get a lot of amazing things from the A Light in the Darkness, but I believe two copies might be too much. Just go try out the deck and steer away from the meta that is practically already formed! It's time for dragons! The Mulligan, Strategy, Card Replacements and maybe Match-ups (if the meta forms until then) will be available to you guys here pretty soon! Only thing you gotta do is to show the love!
FAQ
Would Deathwing, Dragonlord be a good fit in the deck?
I personally would say no. The reason is that the dragons are usually used for tempo plays here and for the card draw so if you have more than 2 dragons in your hand by the time Deathwing should be dying, something wrong happened. Besides that I've heard that Deathwings Deathrattle is almost never triggered, as the opponent will probably just ignore it and try to kill you. Deathwing might fit a little bit better in the dragon priest as they have the more controlish aspect to them than the paladin, and especially this one, who relies on tempo early game.
2. What are the replacements for ______?
The replacements will be included with the entire guide which will come out in a day or two. I am really sorry this is so late but I've been busy making a video for this deck and the video for a rogue that has The Ancient One played.
Finally, a big thank you to my first patron, Bearmec! If you would also want to help out by becoming a patron and getting some really amazing perks that you can use on my stream, you can do so at www.patreon.com/sigmasrb!
Cheers for checking out yet another Sigma's deck and as always, the constructive criticism and any suggestions to improve the deck are warmly accepted! See you on the stream!
Cheers,
Sigma
Do you really believe I've put Equality in only for the sake of your comment? Also, as you can see it's only one copy and there are still no Wild Pyromancers.
As usual Sigma, nice deck and good write up. I'll definitely give this one a try.

80%wr at rank 16? astonishing
still needs some aoe removal in place of faerie dragons
Missing Chillmaw,what are you guys replacing him with?
Chillmaw is essential in this deck. I recommend playing a different iteration of [card]N'Zoth, the Corruptor[/card] paladin without it.
This guy always posts p2w decks :(
One Tirion Fordring is enough you Jerks....! Its the worst to have to deal with him twice
Due to loses to aggro and lacking removals I've redesigned deck a bit. I think removing two early dragons won't hurt dragon synergy that much. Wanted more early anti-aggro tools:
What do you think?
I would swao out Chillmaw for Cairne. Because you don't really want to have Chillmaw on the board when you summon a bunch of minions and maybe Alexstraza for Deathwing, Dragonlord for more Deathrattles :)
Seems good! How are you feeling having only one weapon and the equality pyro combo? The deck is kind of more control oriented than midrange/tempo even but I can see why could this work.
This deck is not bad, but lacky draw and has no good board clears agains control. Fun to play if you get good curve, but horrible otherwise.
Yeah that's what I'm observing too even though my stats are not bad (8-6 so far). It's either hit or miss. Too often I have too much late game and no answer to aggro. Gonna try to rebuild the deck a bit... I'm feeling like some cards aren't that useful like Faerie Dragons - their stats are too aggresive for dealing with aggro early on. There's also no equalities or pyros...
I like the theme of this deck but I feel it is very inconsistent with literally no draw mechanics or comeback cards. You are entirely dependent of a good starting hand. I went 1-3 with this deck and I just feel that the regular Nzoth deck with the equality combos is stronger.
I believe that two Azure Drakes is enough card draw. Nothing else that you can find right now just doesn't fit. Maybe Lay on Hands, but as the list is quite full right now, there is no spot, but if I could have 31 cards I'd definitely have it. I also played against the regular N'Zoth, and I've beaten them every time when they don't get a good Doomsayer early on.
Played 5 games - had no dragons till turn 7. Like seriosly.. Even crafted lightlord to get freaking 5 win quest done.
So mulligan for dragons aggressively. Even if you do that though sometimes it happens, it hasn't happened to me more than once per 10 games so I guess it's just your bad luck :P
Deathwing, Dragonlord would be a good fit for this deck.
I agree. And he has deathrattle, so you can resummon him with N'Zoth! :)
what's card should i replace for him ?
