Love my Dragon Paladin deck. I've played about 20~30 games with it so far, and I've had some amazing games. Some awesome matches, matches where I've destroyed decks that usually own me, and those mirror matches where you and your opponent are neck and neck trying to prove who's version is better (1 mirror game I managed to stay alive at 1 health for 10 rounds before managing the comeback to win the game and he pulled out all the legendaries except tirion, which is probably why I won).
ANYWAY, I decided to make this thread so people could post their favorite experiences with their Dragon Paladin decks. To start things off, I'll post my victory over someone play handlock (a deck I lost too a lot in the past).
Shielded Minibot and Zombie Chow, while excellent anti aggro cards, seem like liabilities these days against Grim Patron Decks. How are you handling that? (Chow's healing rattle not withstanding)
Edit: Also, only 1x Equality and 1x Blackwing Technician?
You...kind of spoke a lot but didn't really say anything. Never really responded on how your deck is managing to deal with Grim Patron decks. Consecrate alone won't do it, you don't have spellpower to combo with Consecrate, so how are you managing to deal with the flood of Grim Patron's on turn 8+?
And before anyone *else* responds, Dragon Paladin is not an aggro deck so there's no early wins that can prevent Patron Combos.
I played and loved Krip's Cromag list last night (I went undefeated). His theory (and from play-testing I have to agree so far) is that many Dragondin decks are over-saturated with dragon/dragon-synergy cards and for these new paly decks to succeed, they actually need less. He focused instead of Cromag-synergy with card-draw creatures and spells and it was a lot of fun to play. His list only has 6 dragons (A.Drake x2, Consort x2, Cromag and Ysera) and zero synergy cards (e.g. Technician) yet it was more dragon-y fun (e.g. drawing Consecrate x 2 thanks to Cromag) than any list I've played so far.
Sounds like a slightly different play -style compared to mine, but I agree, I only run 1 Blackwing Technician and that is it. 7 Dragons (2x Hungry Dragon, 1x Twilight Drake, 2x Dragon Consort, 1x Chromaggus, and 1x Ysera), and for me, it is a perfect ratio. Obviously, everyone has different needs based on what type of decks they are seeing more of, and play-style is a huge factor as well.

Running amazing. 70% win rate - struggling with a couple lucky druids. May switch blessing of wisdom for solemn vigil
