Hi everyone,

as the title suggests, I'm considering in crafting a good Healadin deck. Why? I have Crystalsmith Kangor from BDP and I just unpacked both Shirvallah, the Tiger and High Priest Thekal.

Do you think it's worth my trust? Or do you think I'd have to wait until the meta settles down?

In case of positive answer, I miss Zilliax: I know it's a really good card, but do you consider it strictly necessary for this archetype?

Thanks to everyone for your time

Zilliax is generally good, and a safe craft, will improve almost any slow deck. You could look at a Shirvallah combo deck if you like; I'm not running Kangor or Thekal, though. Thekal is good against combo and a solid card in healadin. Really depends what else you play, what you enjoy etc., but I say go for it.

 I tried the Holy Wrath OTK list used by Kripp (the one with Countess Ashmore, who finally sees some play), and I swapped Zilliax with a crappy 3/4 rush/overkill for some board control, but I haven't got a lot of success, despite I really love the idea.

ehh zilliax is a decent card for contol decks all aroud, it even sees play in wild decks and  a card has to be really good to see play in wild decks, so yeah he's a pretty safe craft

Zilliax is a very good card that sees play in a multitude of decks and won't rotate in April 2019, so it's a safe craft.

However though, healadin is more than likely not going to be a viable archetype for the moment. There's simply way better stuff out there.

 I've had some success; cut Ashmore for Tirion, as you need to be fatigue to combo anyway, and often draw other combo pieces first, and I love showing off my first golden legendary :P Playing around with Zola over a stonehill, though that's subject to change. Oh, and dropped in a LoH, which often burns cards, but if you have a banker, Wrath, and the big kitty in hand...

 why would you need 2 bankers? if the combo requires you to have no cards in deck, than you will have had to have drawn one right?the only reason i see would be in case you mill one, but i still think some other resource would be better.

 Two because the following turn you can double Holy Wrath your opponent in the face for a total of 50 damage, which will overcome the problem of some excess armor or life 

I contradict. Don't hate me guys.

Wait and don't craft zilliax. Sure, it's a fits all card. The fact that it is in many decks doesn't prove it is good. When healadin should be trash tier you can use the dust for another archetype and a more specific legendary. 

Go for it if you got the dust and really want to try it cuz it's easy going and fun to heal a lot against Secret Mage lol but I wouldn't go balls deep into that archetype cuz then you'd want Countess Ashmore and then it's not good against combo/otk decks so you need Hakkar, the Soulflayer+Prince Liam… that is if you really want a deck like that work not saying it's a bad deck because my deck is basically healadin but slightly different and it does well against most of midrange and token decks but it's REALLY weak against Spell Hunter which is all the rage right now thus Warrior is trying to feast on them, another bad matchup for a control paladin due to lacking a discernable win condition. But if you really want to try it go for it but don't try on ladder cuz you will find it very underwhelming. 

But do craft Zilliax safest craft you'll ever make I even jam it some Hunter decks and it does well.
