I'm not sure about Aldor Peacekeeper on this deck. Do you think it is good to replace both of them with 2x Righteous Protector in order to have more early game?
The other thing I want to change is Ivory Knight. I just added it because it is a good heal in some matchups, but I was wondering if it is better to add Harrison Jones instead of it.
There is a decklist and thread some post below from Andernain, a very good Paladin player that crossed legend for two consecutive seasons with N'zoth Paladin.
As far as your list is concerned I think you got the right idea, and I'd suggest that you add Righteous Protector and Harisson. However, I got to admit that I am not sure why would you bother with N'zoth. N'zoth gives you fuel to win the control matchups, and the only control matchups are Warlock and Priest that are atrocious for this deck. So, I'd go to a more midrange version to be honest, or completely switch to OTK paladin with more spells.
I have also been playing around with Control Paladin but never had much ladder success beyond ranks 5-4 with it. It could have been that the meta was not right for it but perhaps now it could find some success.
I think the primary building strategy I used was grouping cards into packages and then deciding which packages to include. You have the N'Zoth Package (N'zoth the Corrupter, Tirion Fordring, Cairne Bloodhoof, Plated Beetle, Loot Hoarder, Mistress of Mixtures), the Curator Package (The Curator, Primordial Drake//Bone Drake, Hydrologist, Plated Beetle//Stampeding Kodo), the AoE Package (Equality, Consecration, Wild Pyromancer, Primordial Drake), the Single-Target-Removal Package (Aldor Peacekeeper//Humility, Scorp-o-matic//Stampeding Kodo), the OTK Package (Uther of the Ebon Blade, Auctionmaster Beardo, Burgly Bully, Hydrologist, Humility//Blessing of Wisdom), along with other packages. (Notice that there is a lot of overlap within the packages, so you can actually form pretty interesting synergies between different packages)
The difficult part is deciding which packages are best for the current meta, as well as deciding which weapons to use, which tech cards to include, etc.

Any opinions on what the best ones are?
I like AoE and healing in control paladin right now. You play to win the matchups you're good at, you can beat aggro decks and secret mage. I don't think the really late game value plan with N'Zoth works because you get destroyed by other late game decks anyway, since you're playing paladin and don't have access to as much value as them no matter what you do.
Exactly my thoughts. Why would you want to go super late game, when the other two late game decks can simply destroy you. Multiple operatives, Mind controls, N'zoth/Gul'dan for countless Voidlords...you can't beat them. Add that to silence being almost everywhere and you also got some dead Spikeridged Steeds.
Hi people,
I built a Control N'Zoth Paladin deck a long time ago, but I'm not sure about a couple of things
Here is my decklist:

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks :)

That's the deck link, with the discussion.

Personally, I'd work on a more midrange list.
Thanks for all your advices. I have tried the changes I said and the deck improved a lot :)
I just play N'Zoth, the Corruptor because it is one of my favorite cards
