Hey all,

This deck was inspired by someone I played against (sorry I can't remember your name). Divine Pally looked surprisingly fun, so I thought I'd put my own spin on it. It's holding up better than I expected. It's by no means tier 1, but it's held it's own against a wide array of decks. 



KEYCARDS:
The core of the deck: Argent Squire, Righteous Protector, Wickerflame Burnbristle, Bolvar, Fireblood and Tirion Fordring. Dark Conviction has been a lot better than I anticipated - works offensively or defensively. It can be a great equalizer. 

Argent Protector synergizes really well either with Bolvar, Fireblood or Blood Knight or a straight up value trade. Fits better than Deathspeaker

I run one of the following: Blessing of Kings Spikeridge Steed and Bonemare. Each seems to fit and provide a slightly different feature. I'm tempted to cut the Spikeridge Steed and add a second Bonemare.

TECH CHOICES:
I added two Wild Pyromancers because you need board clears against decks that get the value edge on you (*cough* Jade Druid *cough*). It's great when you can wipe the board with Equality but some of your stuff lives if it still has divine shield.

The deck needed some draw (particularly against control style decks), so I added one Divine Favor.  I'm not as worried about Divine Favor being a dead draw against aggro because the deck does a good job holding its own against aggro (unless you start with a top-heavy draw).

Cobalt Scalebane is the gift that keeps giving. Lovely when he can buff a divine shield minion.

I also added one Chillblade Champion in place of an Aldor Peacekeeper. The synergy with Corpsetaker is too good to pass up, but I'm not sure Aldor Peacekeeper is the right card to swap for it.

I was running one Desperate Stand, but it's situational.

If there's enough interest, I'll add more detail.
