I have been playing Mind Control Tech in my N'Zoth paladin as a way to help gain tempo since I'm playing such a slow deck and I can play it on curve if need be to not fall too far behind. That being said, is it an overall better card than Enter the Coliseum? If i can't draw a board clear or any early/mid game minions I can find myself in burst range pretty quickly. Any opinions for or against Enter the Coliseum?
MCT deals randomly with just 1 minion (and your opp has to have 4 of them on the battlefield). Enter the coliseum is the nearest thing Paladin has for mass removal, so i would prefer that card over MCT. The only downside of it, is that it leaves the biggest minions in play (yours and opp's)
I personally prefer Mind Control Tech in slower paladin decks because it has the flexibility to be played for tempo and is cheaper/easier to play. Also Enter the Coliseum has the unfortunate habit of clearing all your opponents minions except the one you actually wanted to clear. :/
the downside is its either a t9 or 2 turn combo, but yes, that is the plan. even if i don't Aldor Peacekeeper most of the super aggressive decks don't have that many large minions, just swarms of tokens.
I've found EtC to be quite useful. You can also combo it with Humility to neuter your opponents biggest threat. Or if you have Sylvanas and a higher attack minion in play, then you can clear their board and steal their minion.

Enter the Coliseum + Aldor Peacekeeper seems like a great combo.
