Ive had some pretty insane arenas, and some better than this, but this is pretty crazy. i was offered one mini bot but i took chow over it early on in the draft. it has some weak cards, (arcane golem, oasis, storm wind, healbot, etc) but it has doubles of all the classic paladin bombs and some of the newer ones. Im very optimistic. How many wins do you guys think?
7 or 8 if u play it right. I mean you have no 6+ minions.
late game really isn't that important because arena has become a lot less value based and a lot more tempo based, i have a huge amount of tempo swing cards in this deck. If you win the first 4 turns, you usually win the game.

If you ask me this is one of the decks I instantly retire from arenas.. nothing too good. bunch of early games minions with few good drops. hope to win early. Overall 3/10 i would say
i really fail to see how you could say that, this deck has some of the best arena cards period. chow into juggler into muster into truesilver/seal/keeper? thats a constructed start right there. this is one of those decks that just wins on turn 2, but has some of the best catchup cards (truesilver/ consecration) if you need them. I really think you should re-evalulate how you look at arena.

its so hard to say with arena decks, sometimes the same deck will go 12 wins instead of 2, just because it had 2 fireballs that ended 2 games early on.
The deck has some high quality things in it, but not a lot of carddraw or 5+ drops. Youre pretty much relying on drawing a sick early game - and ending it early from there. I feel like you will just have a terrible time vs a good opponents opening (with lategame) or things like flamestrike.
Can go 3 wins or 12 >D no idea
well i'm already two and 0 so hopefully i can avoid the 3 wins arena nightmare, lol. I have high hopes for this deck, all my 10+/12 win paladin decks have looked like this.

it's definitely above average. nothing too special. but, i've definitely had better. auto retire seems insane. i've never even retired. ever. even with a bad deck.
Outside of stupidly strong cards like Uldaman / Muster for Battle and Truesilver Champion, most of your minions are pretty horrible. The deck feels light and can be punished easily by any small AOE.
Lack of 3 drops / Weak or situational 4 drops. / Lack of strong playable 5+ drops. (Belcher only) / Lack of late game plays or draws.
This kind of encapsulate the Paladin class pretty well - someone drafts their "OP" class cards and instantly thinks the entire deck is "insane".

Until you run into someone who has AOE and you now have an empty board and hand. Also if anyone gets board advantage on you, its so easy to keep it because so few of your minions trade up.
I would consider 7-8 of your minions below average. I think your abilities/weapons are going to have to carry you.

i don't think so. paladin has the best turn 2 hero power behind rogue, and getting a 2/3 soon turn one is so huge. chow can snowball way harder than mini bot can

Umm let's say I buy your argument that chow can snowball better (which I dont as chow vs. a 3/2 is significantly worse than minibot vs. a 3/2), you are telling me that your plan is to HP on turn 2? Just sounds like a really really bad plan.

well i have a lot of high quality 2 drops in this deck, so in the 6 games I've won so far T2 hasn't been a problem

Ever heard of mage ?
Look, it sounds like you are defensive about any criticism towards this god-like deck, it's an average deck because the good paladin cards are sandbagged by mediocre neutral cards for the most part.
This deck looks fine but definitely not best ever. This deck will get absolutely destroyed by good tempo rogue deck. With a good number of Pally class cards this is a good deck and I wouldn't be surprised by any amount of wins between 6-12 but this is nowhere near a deck that I would look at and say you had to get stupid unlucky to not go 12. Where are the coghammers? That card might be even more broken than muster. The cards that I see that are average or below average in this draft include: Arcane Golem, Demolisher, Ancient Brewmaster, Antique Healbot, Clockwork Gnome (x2), Cogmaster, Razorfen Hunter, Stormwind Knight, Oasis Snapjaw. That's 10 cards!
With that said, best of luck, hope you go 12.

taking chow over mini bot early has to be wrong.
