It seems like N'zoth is the talk of the town right now in paladin as this might be the direction to take the class.

Lets discuss the N'zoth core, which cards are must and which aren't.

From my experience, watching other players play and discussing with them. This is the core I've come up with.

These are the cards which should always be played. 

Right now in the meta with Flamewreathed Faceless, Zoo and C'thun you should add humilty and Keeper of Uldaman

This leaves 6 spots to fill.

Notable cards have been Infested Tauren, Twilight Summoner, Chillmaw, Abomination.

I feel like this deck has some potential but still it seems so draw dependent and lacking something.

Let's discuss how to build this. 
And please refrain from posting comments like 'corrupted healbot is teh suxx0r'

I think maybe you might be right about being able to use truesilver and ashbringer to control the board more easily with more health at your disposal, but I'm not sure a second copy is going to make that difference. It's possible.

Against freeze mage I kind of doubt that it will matter. Not because it wouldn't be important to be able to heal after alex but because a good freeze mage player wouldn't play the matchup that way. The correct way to play freeze mage against this deck would be to go for an OTK from ~22-30. Playing an offensive alex against this deck would most of the time be pure desperation. Played correctly, I actually think freeze mage is favoured. Against rogue, especially miracle, it's likely that it could be relevant though.

There are of courese times where you wish that forbidden healing was something else. A heal, to face or otherwise, isn't always relevant. Ending up with two in your hand might very well lose you a game. 

As I said, I'm not sure. It's not at all clear cut to me. I guess we'll have to play it for a while before any final judgement can be made. 

I really like Eadric the Pure in this deck. He really shines on slowing down things when you don't have an equality combo or even just to Deny a big threat like C'Thun which is often the endgame card for some decks. Stampeding Kodos has been good so far for me. Aldors/doomsayers and humility takes care of early minions following truesilver/kodo, equality combos into threats and heals. This is def the Control Deck to go. I haven't lost to a Control Warrior yet. I've been using Acolyte of pain but not too convinced on it yet :) Priest is probably worst match up

Bro N'Zoth pally is easy. I think something that a lot of people misunderstand about N'Zoth is that you need a ton of deathrattle cards to ensure value. Here's the thing, though. Consider playing N'Zoth on turn 10 and bringing back only Sylvanas. That, in retrospect, is a 4 mana 5-7 (because sylvanas is 6 mana). Anything more? That is just icing on the cake. Here is my list that I'm ranking up quickly with... 

Ideally we should aim to make the deck faster not slower.

Getting to turn 9 is the problem. Winning after turn 9 is not.

Also I think that with the paladin hero power, the class by design can raise their power level in a stalemate.
Meaning that it's harder to fit late game bombs like ysera than in other classes.

Regarding Corrupted Healbot, I am also conflicted about its place in the deck. The one match-up it really shines in is against C'Thun Druid. Anywhere else, it tends to soak up some minion damage, or some cheap removal. But the OP is right about the lack of strong turn 5 plays before the heavy-hitting deathrattles (Cairne and Sylvanas). For taunts, I'd rather have Psych-o-Tron than Infested Tauren, since the four-mana slot is generally pretty crowded with higher value cards than a weak 2/3 body.

The best 5 mana card for this deck is Tuskarr Jouster. You win an overwhelming amount of jousts AND is a really nice body.

You dont need deathrattles if you already have Tirion, Sylvanas and Carine. Bringing back 2/3 + N'Zoth is enough to win the late game.

Tuskarr Jouster is certainly worth considering; however, most of the popular decks curve out as high as N'Zoth paladin does (C'Thun being the obvious offender, as well as other N'Zoth paladins, as the deck becomes more popular). Even zoolock uses Sea Giant, which skews the success of jousts. For reliable healing, Forbidden healing is the best option, hands down. It seems, then, the 5 mana slot is a flex spot.

Jaraxxus seems to be the best card ever against this deck

The discussion is great but I think you are missing the obvious. Look at the evolution of the "old" murloc paly's  for inspiration. The obvious is that the biggest losses came in the form of a weakened early game (shielded minibot) and minion healing (healbot). Let's not forget Earthen Ring Farseer to help. 

Sorry, damn near impossible to make links on phone  

Here is what I'm using, 2x open slots are the infested tauren.. the only nzoth minions you need to come back are healbot, Sylv, tyrion. The infested Tauren deal with aggro pretty nicely and offer a slight taunt when you nzoth.

Healbot is amazing, you aren't pushing for dmg till late game anyways. I've had ppl concede at 30 hp. Honestly the heal is incentive ylfor your opponent to kill it. Which encourages them to waste removal on it.

You should try the new weapon in combination of Keeper of Uldaman. Gives a ton of removal in the early and later stages of the game.

I think the infested Tauren are really bad, not worth a card. Does not really help against anydecks because 2 dmg is tooo low. I also realize that in a N'zoth deck you don't actually need that many deathrattles. A revived Tirion is mostly enough against most decks (not control). Else i think Tirion, Sylvanas and N'zoth are core. With the rest of the cards you can choose freely (faster or more Control deck) 

I  am running just about the same deck my self  (w/o Twilight Summoner swapped by Tuskarr Jouster) Since i dont have the LoE expansion I was wondering what you would suggest for the Keeper of Uldaman. Thanks.

hm.. then you need a good 4 drop. Try the Sen'jin Shieldmasta :) or the new Cyclopian Horror

Rallying blade is really bad in this control deck.. no synergy or combo.. wasted at 3 mana imo. And cult pothecary is overkill with all the heal you got.

Quote from Daedalos1337 >>

Doomsayer and Wild Pyromancer are FAR better choices to deal with early aggression than rallying blade is.

FAR better. 2x Doomsayer and 2x Wild Pyromancer should be auto include in every pala control deck

A 3 mana weapon with 3 damage, is simply too slow, and not enough.

I think a class which lacks in single target removal spells should be happy when a good weapon is released. I had great results with the new blade. 

just try it for yourself. 

doomsayers yes but wildpyros are in the list
