What a glorious day, you guys made me want to stream again. You can check me out right now, will work on a schedule. Love getting to know the HearthPwn family better.
Hi friends, I'm back with another deck! This season I wan't to reach legend with decks I created only, in the quickest or most fun way possible. My Face Hunter seemed to stagnate around rank 7 so I decided time to make another deck for those last ranks and it absolutely rocks! I took a look at paladin because it got some good new cards and this control style deck is what I came up with after 1 or 2 games. I fixed the absence of Azure Drake and good 4-drops with a nice The Curator package. it's absolutely insane so far, going 31-7 from rank 8 to 3!
Feel free to add me and spectate while I'currently playing this deck.
I'm a multiple times legend player and infinite arena player. I wil write detailed guide for mulligans an card choices once the deck gets some love.
SHORT GUIDE: This deck can out-last, out-value or fatigue almost every opponent. These are the win conditions. This deck is so good in what it does due to the absolute board clears, the immense value Stonehill Defender gives in paladin (class cards 60% so totally normal to get a second Tyrion Sunkeeper Tarim or Wickerflame), anti aggro cards like Fire Fly, Dirty Rat, Doomsayer and Spikeridged Steel,the general quality of minions and the card draw from The Curator etc.
Against aggro match ups: Mulligan for firefly, doomsayer and Stonehill defender and keep concecration most times. Then just play on curve and use the board clears wisely. Spikeridged steel is usually the nail in the coffin.
Against other: Mulligan for Twilight Drake and Stonehill Defender. play on curve and bait out his full board to use board clears well. Don't forget to make a dude when you play Sunkeeper. Use Stonehill to get another Tyrion or Tarim ;)
BTW SHOUTOUT TO Stonehill Defender ! What an absolute sick card in Paladin decks. Always a Tyrion, Wickerflame or Sunkeeper Tarim!
PROOF AND WINRATES: Winrates
Winrate is actually 31-7 due to two disconnects, one certain win became a loss and the other decktracker just didnt count the eventual win. New proof coming.
What would be good to run instead of Wickerflame and Sunkeeper Tarim?
Pretty damn good deck, not gonna lie!
Hey Boomtjalah,
I've been trying to perfect paladin for a while now, and it never quite got there. Your idea of removing one pyro and hydrologist in favor of some bulkier cards is great. And because you run two fire flies and doomsayers, it doesn't weaken the early game.
I'm 16/4 with it at rank 2 now. I just won a game against a quest warrior where my stonehill and tirion were my last 2 cards. It's fantastic!
Thanks a lot for the deck!
you are removing Wild Pyromancer -> Equality combo with this change, which sounds like a really bad idea. Also you lower the value of Curator as it has no chance to draw a Murloc. Even though your winrates are good, because the rest of the deck is still good, this sounds like pretty bad advice.
edit: the above was a misunderstanding as the original wording was ambiguous
No no, this is not what I meant. I mean he's running 1 of each instead of two. I'm saying that's a great move. I'll edit it for clarity!
Hi Drivancey, thanks a lot! I thought it was a good idea too ;) Consistently drawing Spikeridged Steeds has won me so many games.
having a blast, great deck. This deck is great against aggro due to the massive board clear potential and big taunts. It has a good edge against combo decks (been 3-2 vs quest rogues and it also felt as I'm having the advantage and they need to draw good) and is also great against other control decks with the board clears being as powerful and having such good value. It's absolutely the kind of playstyle I like. Hope this lasts a while and they don't start teching against it :) (although I have no idea what a real counter to this would be as the simple value of each card is so good)
1-6 so far. It is not going well so I think I will really just stop trying with it.
Either you are still an unexperienced player/unskilled or you just have been extremely unlucky.
currently 9/2 with this, seems to be extrely good currently
After the comments i was a bit suspicious. But holy shit this deck is amazing. Went undefeated from Rank 8 to Rank 5. Let's see how far up I can go!
Really fun to play as well. Thx for this deck. Great job.
Quest warriors should be one of the best match ups if I look up my stats. It's very important to keep hero powering, and not overcommit to the board before his brawls are out!
Quest warri seem to be really random depending on what his fireballs are killing
This!
Haha I am torn from the inside
Do you think there is any room for Elise in a deck like this?
17-6 so far. Biggest struggle seems to be quest rogue. Gotta get a good mulligan or you are screwed.
Thank you so much for posting this!
26-17 on rank 5-3
Will Lay on Hnnd work as a sub for Rag?
