Here i am again, presenting another Paladin deck. Basically i took my interest of taunt warrior and injected that into my midrange buff paladin. The result is a surprisingly viable Walladin. Bring on the fat taunts! Tons of fun, and even capable of taking on the rogues/priests/shamans hanging out on the ladder. It may or may not be straightforward to play at first, depending on how familiar you are with the goons' strategies.
Here are a couple of really cool additions you might like:
Lorewalker Cho <---> Novice Engineer
Bolf Ramshield <---> Cyclopian Horror
Mayor Noggenfogger <---> Ragnaros, Lightlord
I have not tried these out personally as i do not have the cards, but several others have tried and suggested them. Thanks all for sharing your ideas!

Card Breakdown | |
---|---|
Smuggler's Run | The only spell in the deck, two copies that is. I serves one purpose, to buff as many minions as possible. You CAN play this early, but i prefer to wait and draw a few more cards usually. |
Grimestreet Outfitter | Smuggler's Run as a battlecry on a 1/1 body. What's great about this is it is a very powerful effect, and yet easily combined with Brann. |
Aldor Peacekeeper | The meta is pretty aggressive, and also Jade Golems. Use this to neutralize threats when required. You may decide to discover more copies with a Scarab. |
Wickerflame Burnbristle | The heart of the deck in my opinion. Divine taunt is exactly what we need, AND it heals you. I crafted it just for this deck. |
Grimestreet Enforcer | Although it can appear to be a little slow, the body is decent and the effect can continue until they deal with it. This is a high priority target for your opponent. |
Eadric the Pure | I remember when this card seemed so underwhelming. It has a great effect but there really wasn't such a need for this card. Until now. This is your ultimate test! In addition to nullifying a ton of damage, the body is excellent for this hand buff business. |
Ragnaros, Lightlord | A strong heal that can potentially win the game if there ks no answer. With the taunt and buffs in this deck it should make it a very threatening minion. Do note however that if you have damaged minions at the time it may heal them and not you! |
Tirion Fordring | One of the best taunts/legendaries in the game can't steer you wrong, but it is annoying as hell when priests steal copies . |
Grimestreet Informant | Seems insignificant but it can really help find a relevant card or two and make up for the general exclusion of spells as well. |
Novice Engineer | A simple and straightforward card draw that has synergy with Brann and can help get some momentum early. |
Twilight Geomancer | A nice, cheap taunt that can buy you some time with it's generous health. Very good to have in your mulligan when encountering aggro. If you see a lot of aggro, consider a second copy of this in exchange for one of the 4 cost taunts. |
Acolyte of Pain | A great draw card that increases in reliability with each buff. Also very nice when combined with a Defender of Argus. |
Brann Bronzebeard | Powerful and flexible tool. I've added this to compliment the good battlecries and/or to boost card draw a little. |
Cyclopian Horror | This card has potential for some pretty decent amounts of health. A nice taunt card. |
Defender of Argus | In order to cut back on some of the weaker taunt minions i added this to taunt up our other big bodies. |
Second-Rate Bruiser | Fits well because it is nice against aggro decks, and also can just be insane if it costs 3 mana with +2/+2 or more. |
Fight Promoter | I really like this card to fit some nice draw into a single slot. The condition is very easily met in this deck, and will often trigger itself. |
Wrathion | A really versatile card with both taunt and card draw. It will be a sizable body with a couple buffs and the card draw helps the deck continue to cycle well. You don't need dragons, it's good enough to draw a single here. |
Don Han'Cho | A slower card than most people like to play, but i think the context in which it is played determines it's value. I feel like in this deck it works well. Consider that you may have taunts on the board to stall, and excellent targets in hand for the buff that will make up for any tempo loss. |
Soggoth the Slitherer | I've always loved this card, but it didn't get too much use. Now with being able to buff it by targeting it indirectly, this will be that card that absolutely frustrates your opponent. |

No wallet? No Walletdin! Easy!
sucks to be you
hello, i have work with the idea of a "buffadin" too. one with some chargeminions, one with taunts like you and one with "toolminions".
and eventually endet with 3 decks. one was very familar to yours. and thats why i suggest that you make 2 changes:
- Wrathion
- Novice Engineer
+ 2 x Keeper of Uldaman
cause Keeper of Uldaman is so strong in every matchup. the matchup against Pirate is still a bad one. but against Renodecks and more or less every other midrangadeck is looking good.
Greetings
0_0 Just won an insane game vs a reno dragon priest. Such a close match. I got the worst draw also, literally did not get any buff cards until my 11th turn on which i drew a Smuggler's Run.
I am pretty sure what helped win me the game is playing minions when they are buffed to 4 attack. Of course what really won me the game is a 13/16 Cyclopian Horror at the very end. I think that we both got really sub-optimal draws, but i managed to easily overcome his Reno.
If you are interested in how to pilot this deck in such a way, here is the replay. It was a very back and forth game.

So, why no Dirty Rats? Seems like a really good card in this kind of deck
I tried them early in the deck's creation and they caused more problems than they solved. This deck is all minions so you are trying to get your board advantage. If it pulls something that is difficult to remove then you may fuck yourself. If you don't have other cards in your hand to do anything like Aldor Peacekeeper, you always wish it wasn't a Dirty Rat. That's better played with hard removal cards.
That sounds like a pretty fun idea. Because it is a 9 cost card i would switch it with either ragnaros, lightlord or perhaps don han'cho. I feel like switching with rag makes more sense if you will be effectively diverting damage to random targets.
11/15 Soggoth the Slitherer wins the game.

Nice plays! Those are the best moments lol.
Awesome creative deck idea. I'm at work now, but can't wait to play this when I get home tonight!
Thanks! I enjoy creating new and fun decks to prevent myself from getting sick of others :) have fun!
Awesome deck, but it's annoying to loose to shamans just because Flametongue Totem.
really fun deck! made a lot of change to it, like putting legendaries like nat paggle, lorewalker cho, sergeant sally and tinkmaster. in my case its really a walletadin, because I got 3/4 of the deck golden (I calculated I have 35,200 dust worth of golden legendaries in there) so I find this mildly amusing. I like when people like you come up with decks that are straight up original and fun to play, keep up like that. I dont agree with all the cards in your deck, but I still got inspired by it, thanks for sharing it!
Lorewalker Cho working good?
Chimera, what card would you swap for Lorewalker Cho. I might try it and tell if it was working.
I think a novice engineer should be fine to swap with
I tried a game with Lorewalker Cho. Replay: https://hsreplay.net/replay/KmXiMaEp5ArMKvxJh3SiUM
Wrathion > Hogger?
I think either could be good. Maybe wrathion is better due to being taunt itself rather than making tokens. Ill try it out again :)
Edit: I do indeed like it better now. Feels more consistent. Also swapped the mind control tech for a twilight geomancer.
Good call, Twilight Geomancer can save you from pirates. If I were to put another one, who to swap with, Defender of Argus?
Either of the 4 drops really. I do like having 2 defenders though so can taunt up anything. That may just be preference. I would probably switch out a cyclopian horror i think because it does somewhat depend on the opponent's board state.
