Given the amount of control decks packing area damage cards I have seen lately, it looks like enough people are playing against Even and Odd Silver Hand Paladins that the decks have no hope in Standard mode anymore. Is this trend just at my local meta (around Rank 14), or does it continue up to higher ranks?
I still face paladin roughly 40-45% of the time lately (I know, it's astonishingly high lately). Thankfully I can beat them 50% of the time, while beating other classes at a better rate of course.
But yes, even paladins are still very strong decks. You just have to remember that everybody has played against a million paladins lately, so everyone knows your deck better than you do. You just have to hope they don't draw their early board clears.

why do i have a feeling big spells mage shits on it all? paladin,lock,druid are all ez pz
voodoo and polymorph, a wpn removal and skulking geist with all the aoe counter practically the entire meta...
And not enough burn to consistently knock down Druid or Warlock, with it being a strain against Paladin before they smoke you. Trust me. Thought about it. Tried it. Wasn't that good.

HSReplay says that in the current meta this paladin deck: https://hsreplay.net/decks/cX9aFY7PaoVwfWoP1hmJfh/ has a 58.98% winrate.
That is specifically between rank 15-11 with a 138,000+ sample size. It is the top tier 1 deck, with murloc pala close second.
Third is spiteful druid.
Hope that helps

What you expect? Free wins forever and no one put a lot of card trying, again, TRYING, to counter paladin?
