I grinded to 5 with dude this because it felt fresher. It seems like murlock pally has been viable for a long time and dude is just now viable. The synergies with stuff like vine cleaver and tarim new with the ordering and stuff. Theres also no tilting crabs that eat your dudes xD. In the end both decks play very similar and probably just come down to collection of people. Its kinda crazy that fin ja dosent get run and shows how ridiculous call to arms is. I think if we see card getting hall of famed from these decks it ll be divine favor
I love Dude Paladin (at rank 8), but can someone please tell me what you do when you run into a Control Warlock?! 2 Defiles and what feel like 55 Voidlords are impossible to get through...

I'm not sure what to tell you, it is one of the hardest matchups, though I do beat it sometimes...I mulligan for cheap cards, or the knife juggler dudes/4 cost combo, play cards out as quickly as possible... draw with the 3 cost.. try to draw out their board clears... eventually dudes stick and you combo them. Basically this one is all about pressure and holding the combo pieces for the right time (meaning stego, the 5 cost or Tarim... there's always more ways to make dudes... you pretty much have to rely on that) .
TL/DR Mulligan hard for the 3 cost draw, Hold the combo pieces (Tarim, unidentified maul, stego, 5 cost 3/3 dudes card) for the right time... pressure out everything else (except perhaps strategically holding knife juggler in the correct position. )
Edit: and it's not that your pressure is likely to kill the warlock, but it will keep him on the defensive... not able to pressure you, and get him to use his board clears... eventually dude combos stick and you have a chance to kill him.
Do Paladin players prefer Murloc Paladin or "Dude" Paladin when climbing the ladder?
I climbed from rank 10 to rank 5 with dude paladin in no time. Only two losses due to very bad hand
I found Dude Paladin to be better, more challenging mentally and more fun. it's also the top rated deck on HSreplay for legend to 10 so there's that.

The winrate agains c.warlock is very low, ~31%. I guess that for winning you need to draw very good and they have to draw poorly.
I did my climb to 5 with Murloc, then after Dude became FOTM I tried it and got rank 2, then it sucks hard. I had to switch back to murlocs.
Even HSreplay says it's wr is low past rank 2. The first week of the deck was the best IMO.
TLDR; Murloc is better.
