    posted a message on Its been a long time... Updated Aggro Paladin

    Hello all, most of you probably have no idea who I am but I used to build some decks a long time ago back in Beta, I am an old school MTG player for over 15 years so its safe to say I am a big fan of CCG's. Paladin has always been my favorite class in HS and I was really excited to see it get some love in GvG considering it was one of, if not the, worst class in the game there for a long while. While I agree that cards like Muster and Quartermaster are amazing cards, I was getting bored with the typical Paladin deck and wanted to create something "new", so I went back and looked at my old paladin aggro deck and thought "Hey this could actually work really well in this meta". Anyways here is the list....

    Aggroadin
    Export to BBCode Export to Cockatrice Export to MarkDown Export to Html Clone this deck
    Minion (18) Ability (8) Weapon (4)
    Loading Collection

    I am always up for critiques and suggestions (multiple brains are better than 1), but Ill go ahead and run down some card choices.

    Avenge/Noble Sacrifice - Paladin secrets have always been.... ok, good ideas but just never found room for them in a deck. They are VERY strong in this deck hence the inclusion of Mad Scientist. They can really swing early temp in your favor which lets you run away the game a lot of the times forcing horrible trades for your opponent.

    Divine Favor - Biggest problem with most aggro lists is they run out of steam or dont have the reach to finish the game if your opponent gets the chance to stabilize. thats where favor comes in. It will constantly let you keep the pressure up on your opponent and is just flat out broken against hand lock and other control lists like warrior.

    Sword of Justice - Such an underrated card. The amount of value this thing brings is pretty op at times. It can be a little sketch against someone who runs Harrison, but thats just a risk worth taking imo.

    Tirion Fordring - Easily one of the top class legendaries in the game. Yeah getting smacked with an owl can be pretty painful and having him MC'd can make you want to flip a table, but this guy is just good. I have been toying around with swapping him for Dr. Boom, but I just have a soft spot for this guy.

    Everything else is pretty standard and straight forward for aggro. All the cards here provide either great trades for you or that extra reach or value from SoJ. There are a lot of cards not put in the list that are overly popular right now which might cause some people to look at this list and dismiss it, but there are reasons for it. I suggest anyone who wants a good ladder grinding deck and loves Pally to give this list a shot and see what you think. Feel free to post your experiences with it and let me know if you like it and what improvements you think can be made. Cheers!
