I'm currently running a Paladin Dragon deck (pretty standard barring a few exceptions) and I'm having a very hard time winning against Patron cancer decks. When I run into these "fun" decks I find myself on a losing side pretty much from the get go. They don't have an early tell, they look just like control warrior, and by the time you realize they are Patron Decks you are punished for playing your hero power (much like pre nerf Buzzard).
How are you guys countering these decks? I currently only run one equality but the only way I can think of countering this deck is to somehow take something out and squeeze in a second equality. Even Belcher isn't good because the token it spews forth helps feed Patron Decks.
It's a good deck, hard matchup for any class without a 3+ damage boardclear. Try being more aggressive, make them drop combo pieces to stay alive. If your paladin dragon deck is too greedy it won't be fast enough. Wild Pyro + Equality might be the only solution if you want to keep a high mana curve.
They sometimes sell out by dropping Dread Corsair early. But yes, grim patron is huge cancer currently, and I wouldn't say you're favoured. Your best bet is holding onto equality + consec or azure drake + consec if you run them.
dragon palidin is pretty good against patron compared to a lot of other decks. pretty much like uiasdnmb said save those combos for the big patron play. blackwing corruptor and blackwing tech help too. also a lot of people are playing more shieldmastas as a result of gp.

Any thoughts? Ideas? Let me know!

Have a great deck that's really, really cheap? Help the new players out

IMO 2x Equality and 1x wild, 2x consecrate are a card heavy counter to have but when the meta is patron+face+zoo you really dont have a choice,
