Hey guys Mr. Savage with another super cool deck that is killer on ladder right now(7-0 on rank 2-1)
I have been super excited to play Dragon paladin since Nightbane templar was announced.
This card is absolutely insane!
The basic idea of the deck is similar to that of Tempo warrior. Remove your opponent's minions efficiently and develop a board at the same time.

Gameplay
honestly the deck is terrible
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but this deck seems to be aimed at beating control...which isnt that common. Why is this anti meta? What decks are you playing that this deck beats that a deck with better tempo options doesnt?
it's not anti-meta, the maker of this deck luckily got a bunch of upvotes. I don't think he really plays the game
Daaamn can't wait for Netherspite Historian
so you can lose the game with more unplayable cards?
Im pretty sure he was just lucky in every game or his opponent wasnt. The deck isnt competetive enough just give it up. Make it more controlish and it should work. I can give you a list im using with good success.
And the reason for it is which you stated - no sticky minions and low value/tempo early game. The deck is just overrated for i dont know what reason.
TallAr can i see your list please ? id love to try it
you don't make this deck work, it's utter trash. please google a zoolock or aggro shaman deck and try again
I've been playing this deck and I really like it in this meta. Not sure how I feel about Onyxia though. I guess it's in there because it's a dragon but wouldn't maybe Sylvanas be better because of the deathrattle and N'Zoth? I even thought about Deathwing...
Sylvanas Windrunner or Ysera
How can you evne consider putting chillmaw into this deck? I guess you must like having your board swept by your minions (after playing nzoth).
I really Like your deck, thank you.
I made few adjustmen since I don't have ragnaros the lightlord and Chilmaw on the Account I used the list
I replaced them by the Currator (for the taunt and the dragon draw) and Nefarian.
What is the reason behind Crusher? This card literally does not make sense in this deck. It's not a dragon warrior where you can actually count for your opponent having 15 hp on turn 6. It's very clear its more control oriented midrange deck having equality, 2 consecrations, aldors and healing.
Another thing are selfless heroes. I'm not sure how the things look on higher ranks cause i dont have nerves nor time breaching rank 6 but on those ranks there are 3 classes: hunter, mage and druid. Against mage or druid its basically 2/1 minion if played on turn 1 (and should be unless youre planning to mulligan them leaving you with 2 meeeh 2 drops). Against hunters you cant even afford that the divine shield stay up because of Fiery Bat. What's more every 1 health minion in your deck is nail in a coffin against hunters (unleash the hounds), mages (flameweaker, arcane missles) and druids (swipe, violet teacher)
Im glad it worked out for you but all the versions of midrange dragon paladin are too weak because paladins lost their early game in standard and i couldnt get more than 50% winrate even tho i tried very hard (but it SHOULD be easy cake on rank 10-6). They have good healing tho and new minion Nightbane Templar is indeed very strong. Thats why I guess paladin for now should stick with control style.
So after few days of trying i made control dragon paladin with curator (finley, stampending kodo and jeweled scarab - paladins have nice 3 drops) and nzoth and i have to say that my faith in paladin is restored having 65% winrate.
If blizzard designed good control tools for paladin then i guess there is no reason trying to push for the midrange style unless we get decent early game which nor Faerie Dragon, Loot Hoarder or Selfless Heroes are.
because the maker of this deck got lucky in his games and doesn't actually know what a win condition is. you're not crazy, this deck is indeed terrible
Nice deck.
Replaced Onyxia to Chillmaw. Also tried Alexstrasza, but after 6 games I think she's not good(5 games she's didn't do anything, 1 games I use it when the opponent has 20 hp). I replace it with Draconid Crusher.
For now I have 7 wins and 3 looses on 8-6 rank
Great deck! Climbed from 4000~ to 1000~ pretty easily :D
Need to downvote this deck... too good :D
How can you call a deck anti meta? The meta has never been more various. No trolling, just curious.
