Priest is a tough matchup for Paladins in general because we're such a minion-heavy deck and Priests tend to steal and/or destroy our minions. But this deck is as good against them as any because it has the potential to get you off to a fast start, which is key to defeating priests.

Skelemancer plays very rarely + most of opponents have silence or kills you the turn you put this slow guy on board. Much better to add 2 Grimscale Chums, and optionally Curator instead of Lich King , Don't make murlock deck highcost, it's always minus winrate. Upped Legend with it too, so I know what i'm talking about.

+ 1 , but the Lich King it's good.

I've found Skelemancer to be VERY useful in this deck. Bonemare or Spikeridged Steed on it is very hard to remove, and gives you great power in the late game. If it gets silenced or hexed, then it was good bait to allow you to keep your Tirion Fordring and The Lich King alive.

if you know when to drop this it makes AOE clears very awkward for your opponent. If you drop it on 7 or 5, you play right around Primordial Drake and Dragonfire Potion potentially keeping your board of murlocs alive for one final push at face.

You opponent should panic about board clear with this deck, not you. If you do, you play it wrong.

Well, than i definitely play it wrong. Or have bad luck every game.

Freeze mage...all I can say is Freeze mage...might wanna tech in Eater of Secrets.

Also, I didn't have finja or lich king so I subbed in Dinosize and Ragnaros, Lightlord as my only trouble areas seemed to be late game.  Even with a tough opener this deck seems capable at stalling until something better comes along mid to late game.  Seems to be working at the high ranks I started at...9-1 to get from whatever I started at to rank 15.  Can't speak to anything at better ranks.

Don't even try to add Eater of Secrets. Throw away Dinosize and Ragnaros and add Curator and Coldlight Seer for example, or Primordial Drake or Burnbristle depending on what you personally lack of.

How do you figure rank 5 on US = rank 18 on EU?

its actually somewhat true, Kripp experienced it himself even in arena. EU ladder is WAY TOUGHER than US

I subbed Lich King out for Spellbreaker. Often I can discover him via Stonehill Defender and, in this meta, I find that a Silence is more valuable than one more taunt, even if that taunt does grant spells. if you were guaranteed Frostmourne, that would make Lich King a lot more valuable.

This deck is impressive. I played if from rank 14 to 8 without a single loss, then lost three and then won another 4. You only loose when your opponent gets GOD draws and can handle your entire hand or when you draw like a disabled monkey and end up with all your late game in hand on turn three. Good luck out there guys, I didn't have Finja so I put the 4 mana silence dude in. Works like a charm, has won me a couple games already. That's my experience, good luck out there and don't overuse this deck, I don't want counters to it popping up anytime soon. Thanks for the decklist!

is this deck good vs druid? im currently at rank2/1 and there are tonss of druids.  rarely do i play against anyother class.

My last 20 games have been druid and priest only. It wrecks both of them, especially jade. The deck has a lot of early damage and by the time they start getting out big jades you have a wall of taunts and you just burst them down. I do recommend a silence in the deck.

It rarely buffs anything, but it's 3 mana so you have a better chance of defending your early game murlocs and letting them snowball.

What's a good sunkeeper replacement?

What would you suggest as a replacement for the lich king?

I'm using Uther of the Ebon Blade. It's essentially an instant 10 healing + 5 weapon damage which has a lot more immediate impact IMO. Won me a lot of games.
