Apart from promoting my list, I wanted to share it because I barely see any paladins in ladder and because the class is non-existent in tournaments right now. I don't expect to make a class revival, but maybe encourage people to play the class a bit more and show there are other decks to be played apart from odd paladin.
The amount of recent forum posts in the Paladin Class Discussion is also kinda sad, looks like everyone has lost interest in pally :(
I've only played 12 games since the nerf and they were (from rank 2 to legend EU):
2 odd rogues, 4 zoolocks, 1 evenlock, 1 even paladin,1 maly druid, 1 otk priest, 1 egg hunter and 1 secret hunter.
Edit: I'm noticing more secret hunter than egg, but not sure if that's due to the nerf or just the flavour of the week kinda thing. Also, no tempo mage to be seen, which I expected.
I have no idea about how the coloured names thing works, but I think you can change the name of the post clicking in Tools>Edit thread (upper right corner) to correct it ;)
Probably another card draw card, like Cavern Shinyfinder or second Elven Minstrel. If you find Roll the Bones is not consistent enough after that change, you could sub it with second Vanish I guess. Since minstrel would normally draw as much as thalnos and roll the bones combined, and you lose the thalnos + fan of knives AoE, I think it's a decent sub.
Also, Fire Fly would be really good in this deck because of Battle Rage, Frothing Berserker and Festeroot Hulk. It would make your early game better too, which is obviously a very desirable thing as an aggro deck.
The orb in the center reminds me of nagas/murlocs/maelstrom, but the background with the tribal painting (looks like teeth to me) seems to indicate trolls.
I haven't played WoW in a really long time, the only place I can think of that has those three tribes would be Zangarmarsh (and I can't really remember if there were actually murlocs there).
That being said though, I agree with people above suggesting that it will be some kind of troll island. I wonder if they're going to add some kind of funny twist to it or leave it as a more "serious" expansion.
Yeah I agree that the deck doesn't need it, but maybe as a 30th card (and 29th I guess) instead of Lifedrinker (which is often cut to make room for tech cards).
Guess I'll have to see for myself if it's impactful enough
Seems ok overall, but I think you should get rid of acolyte of pain, nat pagle, bloodmage thalnos, test subject, binding heal and divine hymn at least, I think they're too slow/there are better, more flexible options.
Firebat has been playing something similar in some of his latest youtube videos, you might wanna check them:
I personally think that priest's buffs are weak, but if you want to use them, go ahead.
This would be my take on an aggressive priest deck that uses heals (but not buffs) to get ahead on board.
Maybe not as easily as odd paladin but, thinking about it, nowadays zoolock can put out more minions and faster than any previous iteration of the deck: Saronite Chain Gang, Doubling Imp, free Happy Ghouls... Against other aggro decks it should be easy to discount, and against control their Giggling Inventors would help as well.
How good would it be?
Well, discounted Happy Ghoul is a big part of why the heal package is run in zoo, so I guess yet another 0 cost, decently sized minion, would be good as well.
I'd like to hear your opinions on the topic!
Note: If I were to include Corridor Creeper in the deck, I would do it like this I think. Maybe add Giggling Inventor somehow for easier discounts?
All the screenshots are from the first season of Boomsday. As you can see, the deck was performing quite well for me in that time, although the meta wasn't fully settled.
I've been playing it a bit lately and it's still pretty decent, expect about 60% winrate if you can pilot it well.
If you're tight on dust, I'm not sure if I would craft it, it's quite expensive and winning doesn't come as easy as with other decks.

Galaxy Dust's as far as i'm concerned

I just wanted to share my own take on even paladin, which has taken me to legend and hopefully will allow me to hit my PB.
(click on the deck's name if you need more info)

Maybe you should credit the original creator of this deck since you're doing deck showcases

It's fully optimized already.
Some people substitute the Wrath for Trogg Gloomeater, it depends on your matchups.

Not sure if Unidentified Shield and Omega Assembly belong in aggro. I'd trow in Arcanite Reaper and the spellstone instead.

This would be my take on your deck:

I can recall watching Firebat play evenlock in his youtube channel having Purple and Zalae as guests, you might find it helpful.
Other than that, maybe have a look at recent tournament matches involving the deck.

Your opponent played Embrace Darkness on it
