As much as I hate to say it, any Paladin deck with the slightest sense of flavour/fun (so not mech/murloc or whatever the fuck Blizzard is trying to push these days) is basically Tier 4, or trash (or both depending on your standards) . So no, this deck will not be able to compete, in the long term (maybe if you're lucky you might do well in a small sample space), in a high level ranked setting where Rogues run rampant.
As a long time Paladin main myself it really annoys me to see Blizzard print all these boring and flavourless Paladin mech/murloc cards in a game based on Warcraft, in which the fantasy and role-playing aspects are such a big component.
That said, if you enjoy playing the deck/are doing well, what's to stop you from piloting it? Let blizzard know you enjoy a Dragon Highlander Paladin archetype much more that others by playing it.
Deck-wise, it's probably not worth it to run Ysera and Nozdormu in this tempo oriented meta - Ysera is simply too slow and most decks can easily deal with an 8/8 with 10 mana, leaving a net tempo loss for you in most cases. I think this deck would do better with an equality / pyro combo, Scalewyrm, Acolyte/Aldor. Dragon Breeder and Dragon Speaker, while fun to use, are probably not worth running.
Like the idea of a dragon oriented highlander deck but right now this deck just can't compete, dragons simply aren't that powerful and haven't been for a while now. Combine the fact that shaman has no dragon synergy whatsoever and there only being 4 dragon activators in the deck, and you're looking at a pretty mediocre deck.
Without Flamestrike and possibly Blizzard, this deck will get overrun by secret pally, token druid, tempo rogue, zoolock (all common decks currently) and more. Blast Wave alone just won't cut it.
