I hope you realize that he meant the healing mechanics.
Paladins can't draw cards with their healing powers
Paladins can't deal damage with their healing powers
Paladins can't buff minions with their healing powers
those mechanics are unique to priest, that's what he meant.
not to mention that paladins are not better healers than priest.

Yeah, but thats the thing. You get a free minion on Sludge Belcher that has taunt, where as with your minion you have to use one mana to get a card form your opponents hand. Also, you have to remember that class cards are better stated then cards that everyone can play. Your card really say "I am a Sen'jin Shieldmasta and I give you a card you can spend one mana on to get a card you might not be able to efficiently use". As a 5 mana minion, it would never see play. As a 4 mana minion however, it just might.

Yes, ofcourse! This deck reached legend with no problem entierly because of the use of Magma Rager instead of Ice Rager. Atleast this proves that Hell is still fiery hot and not frozen over!

This deck has 18 minions. 11 of these minions are 1 or 2 mana cards. We can pretty much agree that 1 or 2 mana cards can never win a joust. That means that there is only 7 minions left where the highest one cost only 6 mana. The chance of actually activating the effect of King's Elekk is almost zero, which means that Huge Toad will almost allways be better.

Malkorok is pretty easy to change. The creator of this deck will dissagree with me, but I think there are a fair bit of cards that you easily could change Malkorok with. Gorehowl, Sylvanas Windrunner, Chillmaw and so on. Grommash Hellscream on the other hand is allmost impossible as he will be your finisher against all control matches. Try Leeroy Jenkins or some other powerfull or charge ability minion. Then again, if you plan on playing a lot of warrior Grommash Hellscream is a must have card.

Replacing Grommash Hellscream is pretty hard. You don't really have any other card in the game that does what he does. From how this deck looks, he will be your main finisher in allmost all the control games. You could try to go with Leeroy Jenkins, but replacing Grommash Hellscream is allmost impossible. If you plan on playing a lot of warrior, then Grommash Hellscream is a must have card.

Great deck. Personally I have to say though, that I found it underperforming if you compare it to other tempo decks like the more basic Waker-mage, mech-mage and zoolock. This could however just be due to the current meta-game, or just due to it not fitting my playstyle. I will however congratulate you on your deck. Its a good theory deck that actually works, and I could see it comming into the meta as people find out how to play TGT. If not anything else, then I can atleast thank you for the fact that I know how to counter it if it ever becomes meta, something that it does have potetial to be.

You can play all decks containing Archmage Antonidas without him, it just makes it harder since you no longer has that strong finisher. If you choose to play without him, then you should also think about if you really needs the spare parts in this deck. So without him you would be better of playing a different kind of tempo mage without the spare parts, but it can be done.

Yeah, they are both pretty easy to sub out, even though the replacements are sub par to then. For the Voidcallers, you should sub in Piloted Shredder as it is hard to remove, something that means that you can trade well with it. For the Imp Gang Boss i would sub in an other card that is hard to get rid off. The Harvest Golem should work well here. And thats my tips, so go show them whos the boss!

It could also be Kil'Jaeden, but its probably Lord Jaraxxus given that it was Wilfred Fizzlebang that summoned Jaraxxus to the arena.

Well, Hunter is, and allways will be, a very aggressive class. This is all due to their hero ability. So you kind of need all those early game cards in order to win. On the bright side, you actually try to control the board with this deck, rather then just going face non-strop.
