Here is the deck I used to climb from Rank 5 to Legend post-nerfs. I have gotten to legend with very similar token paladin decklists in previous seasons but was not finding much success pre-nerfs due to the rampant amount of druids with Spreading Plague on the ladder. Now that Spreading Plague is not as big of a problem in the current meta, and with the addition of Righteous Protector in the KOTFT set, I have found much more success with this deck.

Strategy:

Dominate the early game with quick board presence and snowball into victory. The opponent will generally have no choice but to inefficiently use removal on resilient small threats. This deck is also strong at regaining board presence after board clears. Draw power comes from Divine Favor and Cult Master. Finishers are Sunkeeper Tarim and Lightfused Stegodon (notably the +3 attack adapt). Can also get a Sunkeeper Tarim from Stonehill Defender, but Wickerflame Burnbristle and Tirion Fordring are also strong keeps depending on the match up.

At the moment, I am not sure if there is a clearly unfavored match-up. I would say druid with spreading plague is unfavored, tempo rogue and hunter appear to be closer to even, and all other match-ups seem to be favored but further testing is probably needed to confirm this.
