I was trying to make a Dragon Paladin deck myself, with mixed results... yours is clearly better, thanks! Please keep this updated as you refine it. I am really excited about this deck type.

Well I can see some experimentation with the dragon that lowers weapon costs and silver sword.

probably a set ip for future expansions..

Just snuck into Legend before The Witchwood hits!!!

This isn't that bad a card for Paladin. Turn 1, drop this. Turn 2, Dire Wolf Alpha? Dark Conviction? Or it's just ignored until you can put a BOK or other buff on it. It dies, you get a dragon. Of course, some dragons suck.  Some will be good. Either way, it helps fill your hand.

Depends on what other good 1 or 2 drop minions exist after the full reveal...

I don't think Keleseth will work with Paladin anymore. Call to Arms is so strong, and Keleseth ruins that mechanic.

Card is amazing. It will be hard to remove. If you blow a silence on this card, you have one less (or any) for future threats. It can survive on turn 3 even if your opponent coins into a removal like Duskbreaker or Hellfire.

Turn 4 - BOK on this, boom. Big big problem for your opponent.

If it can help activate the Glass Knight, even better.

Opponent fucks me thusly:

Turn 3 coin plus duskbreaker

Turn 4 duskbreaker

Turn 5, Netherspite Historian to choose - you guessed - Duskbreaker, which is played on turn 6.

Turn 7 - Dragonfire.

The rotation cannot come soon enough.

I like this too. I wonder about the lack of a deathrattle card for the Countess to draw? In my own version I have 2 x Direhorn Hatchling. I hope some other good deathrattle card is released in the expansion.

With rallying blade rotating out, unless Paladins get a new weapon this expansion (other than the Silver Sword - lol), Truesilver champion is a natural replacement.  Truesilver could trigger the effect on this card by itself. Imagine you play the Glass Knight, and then True Silver the next turn and are able to regenerate the shield.  That would be very good.

I appreciate the concern you may not have less than 30 health. But there is risk involved with most cards.

I want to try this out. I was initially quite skeptical of it. Now, I am leaning towards, "this could be good."

You know it's a bad day to get on the ladder when you lose to a spell hunter player... twice in a row.

Thanks for the response. The more I think about this the more I am inclined to agree with you. Vinecleaver works so well with Knife Juggler and Tarim.

Looking over your deck list you have only 6 dragons. Is that enough to trigger the synergies? I have never tried a dragon deck before. That's another reason I wondered about Ebon Dragonsmith; just to have two more dragons in there. Even if they just cheapen Vinecleaver that could still be good.

Anyway, we'll see what other cards come out. Please keep this updated, I am eager to see what you come up with after all the cards are revealed.

Possible changes -

val'anyr out and Vinecleaver in

bone drakes out and fungalmancer x 2 in

Aldor out x 1, divine favour in x 1

Theory - better synergy late game; only lose two dragons; need a bit more card draw hence Divine Favor.

I am working on a similar deck. What do you think about including Ebon Dragonsmith (for another dragon, obviously, and the chance to reduce the cost a weapon - Val'anyr - in particular)?

Compared to your deck I thought about removing Vinecleaver, Leeroy and 2 x Fungalmancer and instead using The Glass Knight and 2 x TrueSilver, and 1 x Val'anyr.  Combined with Ebon Dragonsmith, my theory is this could allow Truesilver out for 2 mana and the Glass Knight might be able to survive and regenerate his own shield, etc.

Plus, if Val'anyr landed on the Scaleworm, that's a huge rush minion.

Any thoughts? Be frank; I've only made Legend 2x before. I appreciate you posting this decklist too.

I suspect this is an intentionally bad card. These exist to add risk to cards based on RNG, etc.

It's at least 7 mana 6/6 draw TWO cards... I don't know about lifesteal. Are there any good late-game lifesteal cards at all? Unless they are releasing somthing else, I would not want to put a Chillblade champion in my Paladin deck for no other reason, for example.
