Lothraxion came with the Dark Moon Faire so he'll be staying in standard for the next year. He somewhat wins you most games vs control, seeing how strong Divine Shield on 1 minion is, now you have it on every Dude once you play him. It also seems that Dude Pala will be a thing after the rotation, since the core set has several Dude synergies added to it.
Having said that, I am a Pala/Warrior/Hunter/Warlock main, so I tend to craft whatever those classes have regardless and mess around with it. I understand not everybody has mains and/or the dust for many cards. Lothraxion can even be played in a future control deck, but if you are not that big a fan of Paladin, I'd say you should wait for next rotation.
As much as he is core to the deck, if I were forced to replace him with anything, it would probably be an Imprisoned Celestial.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, since people seem to hate Odd Paladin, haha. Otherwise, thank you for all the love for this deck and I'm glad you're having fun with it!
Hell yeah, great to hear you got legend with it! People indeed don't expect to be facing a Dude Pala right now, the element of surprise works massively in our favor.
You're completely right when it comes to the way you're supposed to play this deck. Like an old school Midrange Pala and make favorable trades with your DS Dudes. Oh My Yogg is definitely an under-rated card, even if they do know what secret it is, they simply can't play around it, because all of their spells are important and cost a lot, and early on, control decks have to waste their spells into it or get destroyed.
Glad to hear you reached Legend with it and awesome to hear that there are more people who love to play Dude Pala.
Weapon/stealth Rogue is indeed quite easy, especially if you get your low-cost cards early on, they simply don't get the chance to hit face. Face Hunter somewhat the same thing, and the two heals from the Amber Watchers basically secure the win.
I didn't have any problem drawing the necessary cards most of the time, but each meta and each person has their own style of playing. I actually love hearing that people change cards in decks to suit it to their own needs.
And indeed, Oh My Yogg is powerful. I simply assume that people that haven't got the hang of the deck yet are just throwing it out there on turn one or when they have some spare mana left.
Honestly, keep on playing, don't let a few losses deter you. Your pocket meta might be a bit different from the rest of us, but if you keep on going, you'll get the hang of it. I have to agree with XyousefX, especially before a rotation, since 8 of these cards will be rotating.
Ah, fair enough, my bad. It always hurts to buy packs of older expansions to get certain cards you want, especially legendaries. Still don't understand why they won't change the dust economy.
Usually you don't keep Oh My Yogg, unless you're sure you're facing a control deck or a Druid that wants to ramp. 14 out of the 30 cards are spells, so keeping Goody Two-Shields is always a good idea. Redscale and Hand of A'dal so that you can draw through your deck more easily. At times it's fine to use the non-corrupt version of Day at the Faire, it all depends on what you're facing. If you can play a strong board of 3 2/3s on turn 6 vs an Aggro Rogue, it's over for them basically. I also keep Consecration vs Druid since they might be token Druid. Taking care of their board of Glowflies without having to trade is fantastic. After a few games you'll get the feel for the deck.
Aye, you can blow people out of the water at times. Especially when you go from no board to a full board of 2/3s with divine shield and they have no answer to it. I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Aye, agreed! We will lose 8 cards out of this current deck. Pursuit of Justice and Warhorse Trainer are probably instant additions.

So you didn't listen to us and simply went your own way. Would've been a better idea to wait till next exp and save up your gold.

To each their own, works like a charm for me. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you.
