Hey everyone, just wanted to share a control pally list I've been laddering with. I've been seeing a lot of success against aggro as well as control. If anyone has any question feel free to ask.
The deck list says it all. I hate hammer, I just don't think it's good enough to get a spot. I used to run avenging wrath, but I feel it's another card that just doesn't do enough. If you want to burst, control paladin isn't the deck to do it with, that's just not how the deck is played.
I've been playing control paladin forever, and i rarely lose to priest. It's a matchup of patience, almost every game goes to fatigue. My deck is also a little different than yours, but it really just comes down to out valuing them; i tend to hover over the deck every now and then to see how many more cards he/she has used than me. If you've used more cards than them, you're just doing it wrong.
With the return of Control Warrior and Priest and my lack of match ups against zoo and hunter, BGH is a very good card that almost always kills something. The seemingly thin early game is not as bad as it looks. Maybe it's just my play style, but if the game goes long (which more often than not it does) you have a good chance to win as the deck has an answer for almost anything. You just need to figure out how to get maximum value out of every card and your hero power, and when to make suboptimal or unusual plays to help you in the long run.
I love Ysera, but as a long time control pally player, I made the decision to cut her a long time ago. She's soooo slow, and often times you're playing from behind/are forced to make another play so you don't die. I also run 2 GoK and Sunwalker, I'd probably take out holy light and humility (I know a lot of people like them, but I've never been a fan.)

If there's any interest in card choices/play style I'll do a bit of a write up. But as for now, just giving the list a share. Cheers!

Had a very similar idea, but took it the controlling route a bit more :)

I got Dr. Boom, then I got Dr. Boom. Then I got Dr. Boom, again.

What's the reasoning for no druid of the claw?

I use her to great success in my control paladin. The games are aimed to go on forever, so what better deck to put her in?

I was hoping for another minion for paladin... this isn't what i was hoping for though.

SovietDolan #1186. Really want to start putting more time into the game, so a strong group of players to bounce ideas off of would be great!

I do not like Blizz nerfing all the cards everyone whines about.
