Hi everyone,

I really enjoyed hand buff paladin, and so when it rotated I started trying to come up with a replacement deck. Silver Sword and its interaction with Ebon Dragonsmith is what got me started thinking about this deck.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of free time to test this deck, but the games I have played have gone fairly well. I am not saying that this deck could be the new meta or anything, but I think it is fun deck, and I would like some help refining it to make it better. Any suggestions or comments are welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Hey dude!

I was just seeing your deck and I was wondering why you use 2x Divine Favor. There are a lot of aggro decks on the ladder and I think Divine Favor is not gonna be useful in your deck. Maybe I'm wrong, but it is just my opinion.

Keep it up man :)

I'd remove onyxia for Alexstraza. Cost one more mana. 

Honestly, I put those in as a draw option. Several times I found myself needing more cards, and I feel like Lay on Hands would be too slow. If you think a different draw engine would be better, I would be willing to try it, because you are right. Divine Favor is dead against aggro decks.

I feel like Onyxia is better suited with its synergy with Silver Sword. I can give it a try and see if putting people at 15 health helps, but since this isnt really a combo or an OTK deck, I am not sure how viable it would be.

I made a few quick changes to this deck. I felt like I wasn't seeing Silver Sword often enough, so I bumped it back to 2. I replaced the Marsh Drake and the Divine Favor with Stonehill Defender and Acolyte of Pain to try and see if it is a better drawn engine for the deck.

I like the deck! My very first arena run in Witchwood, I broke my all-time record (10-2) with a pally deck, and Silver Sword was the crutch. It looks so slow on paper, but being able to drop, attack, buff a board, and do the same thing again and again and again...

Anyway, I also workshopped a few ideas incorporating it with Ebon Dragonsmith, trying it out in an even build. You lose some important cards, but not that many (Righteous Protector, Scalebane, Paragon, and your value 3-drops.) I think I'll try pushing this deck up the ladder for the new season :)
