Hey guys, just been wondering about making handbuff paladin after the rotation (I'll get dust to craft cards) and I'm curious if it's worth it? If not in Standard, then in Wild, there everything can be good. But I need help with building the deck, what cards should I make and which put in the deck. And what version would be better, because I've seen more aggresive versions with cards like Argent Horserider , Leeroy Jenkins and more control version with Ragnaros, Lightlord for example.
I play a semi buff deck in wild, only 2 copies on the 1/1 that gives everything +1/+1. Wild paladin has really good early game with argent squire/horseman, minibot, muster for Battle, 2/1 deathrattle divine shield girl. You can either play all out aggro or go midrange with belchers, dr. Boom, tirion, rag as finishers. I usually get rank 5-8 with limited play time so it is very viable. You can very easily build a divine shield taunt wall to shut out face decks or play fast enough to punish greedy control decks
If you go aggro, a zoo like approach would probably be best utilizing a few secrets as well with leeroy as finisher.
I haven't tried a control version, it might not be good enough since there are already so many core cards you won't be able to fit everything. I'm really loving my paladin, which is saying something since I never really considered the class much fun beforehand. I just need to figure out how to get more card draw in.
I think aggresive version would be better in current state of HS but I don't like aggro decks, I will probably play more midrange version, but what cards should I put in the deck? I really want to play cards like Fight Promoter , Doppelgangster etc. I don't have Leeroy and really don't want to craft him, I would like more Wickerflame. Paladin is a lot of fun of course, more in Wild but I'm tired of secretpally and want something new.

i wouldn't say Wickerflame Burnbristle is necessary if you're low on dust, but he is pretty useful against aggro decks or for protecting your board against other midrange decks. Doppelgangster seems to be a little too slow for me, especially since I don't play enough buff cards to make him viable, same with Fight Promoter, but he too can be really good in a slower version with lots of high hp taunts and such.
This is the deck I'm currently running, maybe it might help you with a few card choices. Another card I'm not running but is very much worth a look at is Coghammer and a second (i stupidly dusted one of them and haven't gotten around to crafting it) Echoing Ooze even with a single buff you can get 2x 2/3 for 2 mana and 1 card which is pretty darn good, if you have lots of buffs that card could be insane. I haven't gotten to test it with brann synergy to see if you get 3 total copies, but that might be worth considering
I'm still angry at myself that I dared to dust Brann Bronzebeard. I needed dust and wasn't watching what am I dusting. I will probably have to craft him. Anyway, thanks for sharing this deck. I will change some of these cards (Harrison for example because I don't have him so I'll add Ooze) and add Doppelgangster's and Fight Promoter(s). I will make it less aggresive. I was considering of craftin Coghammer but I don't know, certainly I will craft 2 Echoing Ooze's.

lol, we've all been there. i dusted Sylvanas Windrunner when I was new cause I needed the dust. learned I was an idiot about a week later and spent a few weeks trying to farm the dust for her :( But yes, my deck is a little more aggressive, looking to close most games out on turn 8 with rag, though has enough threats that I've won in fatigue vs control warrior. My 2 worst matchups are hunter since I don't have any healing, and dragon priest because of their removal and I can't really clear a taunt wall very well, but if you have bigger minions and maybe a board clear you should be fine. I really want to fit Coghammer into my deck, but I can't even figure out how to fit some card draw in, and that's my first priority, which is why I'm running Harrison Jones instead of Acidic Swamp Ooze lol

Ah right, I like more Ooze because it's cheaper (except that it's basic card). I'm considering to put in this deck minions like Loot Hoarder and Acolyte of Pain. What about heals, Antique Healbot. I can't play without this card in some decks so it'll should be good. I don't know if Coghammer would really fit in a deck that's in my head but maybe. There are so many cards that would be good in this deck, but only 30 card slots :(

yeah, thats my issue lol, so many good cards but not enough slots for them. Healbot should be fine, 5 mana heal 8 and if buffed to a decent minion that should be especially, especially if you also have healing rag. maybe try Novice Engineer instead of Loot Hoarder so you can get that draw right away. kinds sucks when you need the draw but play a buffed hoarder. Acolyte of Pain would be really good if you go with lots of buffs to maybe get 3-4 draws off it while controlling the board. the dream with Coghammer would be with Echoing Ooze but I guess I already have other ways of giving it divine shield and taunt.

I don't think Novice Engineer is better than Loot Hoarder especially with buffs. I can't decide what cards really to craft yet.

Do you think I should craft Brann Bronzebeard? I'm mostly playing Wild so it would be helpful card I think.
