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. |

Thanks! I it is a very exciting deck to plat indeed. Paladin has some sweet legendaries too, although keep in mind that eadric won't be in standard much longer if that's one you were thinking about! Wickerflame is a boss for sure along with Soggoth.
Won 16-1 its stomping on all the standard Jade/Murloc and reasonable against control
That's a hell of a win rate! Lol, well done :) Thanks for the feedback.
Really love this deck. I've been winning most my games against aggro as long as I get the early cards otherwise it's all most certain a loss. Against anything else this deck hardly ever fails.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying it! Aggro can definitely be a little draw dependant to counter for sure, damn those pirates!
In the last hour or two I've come against other paladins that gain the early game with truesilver, kings, conc. Having a hard time with them as once they get a minion or 2 on board more than me it's hard to crawl back :( eadric doesn't like me enough to come out of the deck when needed.
Funny you say that, my last 5 games or so had bkth peacekeepers on the bottom of my deck lol. Feelsbadman
Would love an explanation on why Eadric? Does he try add that much value? I feel like turn 7 you either have the game locked up or you lose.
Nah turn 7 is when things get fun :) Eadric is not a 7 drop, he is a board neutralizer. An aoe aldor peacekeeper if you will. Just when they think they have the game and a solid board, all their minions will become weak. Actually a very strong card in this meta and can really swing the game. Ill probably add more infp to the guide later!
Yes! much more fun and consistent than http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/729851-grimestreet-midrange-pally.
Well played, and Thank you
Agreed! It's quite an improvement, and i am going to actually do some ladderring with it. Thank you for the feedback!
