Aggro paladin isn't even that good lol. Murlocs are much better and control warlock crushes this deck. 

 Aggro paladin is better than murlocks, it is more easy to empty your hand and draw heavy with Divine Favor, this combined with Call to Arms is hard to deck run out of steam.

A control with decent draw can win but other aggro/tempo deck will lose.

My only disapoint is the only deck paladin have now, for paladin I like more midrange/control style.

 Exactly right. Murloc Paladin pales into significance in comparison to this deck right now. How anyone can think otherwise is baffling.
Although this, of course, is the guy who thought playing Finja in a deck of only 3 other Murlocs, (all who rely on battle cries to be useful), was a good idea. Lol!

 It's been a while since I blocked that Gabugga troll guy, but the interesting thing is that I still get notified when he replies to my posts (which is refreshingly regular - it's nice to have a stalker).

Fortunately I get protected from whatever inane drivel he actually writes - although it's pretty safe to assume what it contains. Most likely some self-righteous rant about how I am wrong about something, and how I have to make up stuff to "believe whatever I want to believe", but yet will still try and labour the point by posting links to other threads or misrepresenting facts, etc. 

And I am sure there will be at least one mention in there somewhere of me not responding to him for whatever reason. And a few other baseless insults here and there, just because #troll.

Good times. It's nice to have a fan, I suppose. :-)

Lol, the guy is still trying to reply to me, even though I literally just said I don't see anything he actually writes.

In any case, getting the thread back on track here. I've noticed a surge in more aggro decks recently while playing this deck - which has made for some interesting race matches against other decks. There were a couple of Paladin Murloc decks actually - these didn't last more than a couple of rounds before auto conceeding, lol.

As mentioned many times before, though, Warlock control is still overpowered at present and seems to beat every deck thrown at it thus far.

 Lol - It's funny how you're not even aiming any comments at this guy and he's still raging. Makes for a nice salti read. 

I found the new cancer at rank 5 is kingsbane mill rogue... First time i properly raged at the game in a while, even more than cubelock when they cube doom guard.

Though today i mind controlled their cube and my grand archivist used my other mind control on their other one. I'm not one to usually spam emotes, but i've never pressed the "Thank you" emote so much.

 It is pretty pathetic to ignore someone and then still talk about them. When you make a thread you open yourself up to criticism on the points you made. and if you don't want to address them why make threads in the first place? You are obviously still reading my post given what you've said above, but you've decided to be immature and not actually respond to the points I made. I made legitimate points in my threads about the power of this deck, and I'm sure other people will respond, but when you hold your hands up to your ears and dance around the conversation it just reads like trolling.

 Mega rage! How dare I tell someone to discuss their thread topic with me!

 I hate to tell you this buddy, but when you call someone pathetic, immature etc, you aren't exactly opening up a discussion.. If you want to have a discussion with someone, that's not the way to go about it

I actually think Big Spell Mage is right on the cusp of having the tools it needs to manage Aggro Paladin. I had decent success playing that match-up because of how much AOE I had access to, but ended up stopping with Big Spell Mage because I couldn't deal with other decks like Cubelock. Cubelock, by the way, has access to Defile, which can stall Aggro Paladin out until big taunts start dropping. They also have Dark Pact for massive heals. Shaman would also be a good candidate for counters if this deck really becomes so powerful that it beats any deck without sufficient AOE.

Honestly, though, I don't think it's as bad a Pirate Warrior was. Pre-nerf Fiery War Axe combined with Bloodsail Raider was devastating as an early game play, and Warrior has weapons like Arcanite Reaper to clean up in the mid to late game. Aggro Paladin is really good, but it's not nearly as awful as older version of aggro have been.

People will always play aggressive strategies in hearthstone. if you don't like it quit. The only cancer is people like you posting threads on hearthpwn comparing one the most worlds most devastating illnesses to a kids game.

 Wow. Way to lower the mood there, Blackbeard... ^_^

It's just a game, you know...

In any case, I should have to do this... but whenever someone misunderstands what the word cancer actually means, it's good to have the below image for reference. The word cancer has more than one meaning, Mr Freud...
In games etc, the second part is referred to...

 

 You can repeat that as many times as you want. People simply prefer to feign offense to the word and act sensitive. I'm not sure if the language barrier is too damn thick, but they won't get it anyway. I should be glad my mother tongue also uses cancer to describe malign things...

Voidlord + Possessed Lackey are good against paladin. 

 Hmmm. Possibly - but I have found that I am dead by turn 5/6. So not sure I would be able to get him out in time?

Quote from ThisOtherGuyTox >>

Honestly, i would rather say that the deck reminds me of zoo.

The deck aren't really centered against hitting your opponent's face as fast and as hard as possible early on. It's way more the type of deck like zoo, that control the board, until they have enough tempo to end the game in a turn or two.

The deck also requires a lot more of decision making, as you have to find the exact time where you want to switch from controlling the board, to going face instead. If you do it too early, you end up not having enough stuff to push back with, if you however do it too late, your tempo might be ruinted by board clears, large taunts, or large amounts of health gain.
