Smuggling the Good Stuff - Handbuff Paladin with StanCifka
Stan is back with another deck guide to teach you how to better yourself at Hearthstone. Today we're getting insight into a Handbuff Paladin deck, a deck which makes heavy use of cards from the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan expansion and has some great new options thanks to Knights of the Frozen Throne.
The dust cost of this beast may scare you at first, but there's a lot of familiar faces so you may already have most of the tools you need in order to pilot this effectively. If not, there are a couple of tweaks available in the guide.
You can follow StanCifka on Twitch, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.
General Gameplan
This deck is capable of creating a wide board with some big minions very soon, which you do thanks to abusing all the possible buffs. It is also the best core for Prince Keleseth himself, as you get much more of his ability then the normal deck.
However, you really need to work on your sequencing, this deck is not trying to play Curvestone as you know it. Instead you often don’t play your minions for a while, just setting up your hand with buffs and Sword of Justice. Once you are ready to go, you just slam your huge minions on turn 4 or 5, creating a massive board and taking control of the game from there.
The Deck

I'm currently debating whether or not to keep Patches in this deck. I see the benefit of having him burst out, especially early in the game when you are facing aggro. But in a deck that isn't really about pirates, does it help that much?
I have been leaning towards another Acolyte of Pain to help draw more cards instead.
How crucial do people think the "surprise" factor of patches is in the deck?
played few games, its really fun to honest, and also i play this with 2 acolytes instead of meanstreet marshal, since i think you can draw more cards this way
Meanstreet marshal is a very mediocre card. Especially for an epic.
You do not have 2 drops except prince...
Stop hating on Keleseth, he's a problem with Shadowstep. Leave Handbuff Paladin alone
He's is a problem because start to appears in many classes , just like Bonemare, that is why we have a boring meta now IMO. It's not like you are playing against every person that use Dr. Boom you need to build entire deck around Prince Keleseth and that makes the games way too similar/boring.
However this deck is actually quite bad. There are much better hand buff paladin decks out there.
Another fun deck and another great guide. Keep up the good work.

This deck is amazing.
I was able to get from rank 10 to rank 8 winning 8/10 games.
I made two minor changes to suit my gameplay.
I really appreciate the deck, the guide and the videos. It has helped me tremendously.
Glad you like it Jones! And of course feel free to do any adjustments you find valuable, and also let me know how did they perform!
Don't really mind Stancifka, but it get's a bit tiring seeing the same person's deck all the time
I would like to present my list, please enjoy...

Thanks a ton bogdan, guys like you make all the work worth it!
As someone who has played Handbuff paladin in over 2000 games this season, this list is really, really bad. Why does Stan keep getting such huge spotlight with all of these weird/naff decks? People like Kibler and Savjz create way cooler decks than he does.
Gratefulness requires a service that is needed to be grateful for, all these are, are rehashed meta-decks we already knew about.
If these didn't exist there would be absolutely zero impact on anything. The only thing that happens when these guides happen is Stan gets to feel important.
How ungrateful we are...
StanCifka is unquestionably one of the best players in the world, and all the pros speak highly of his deckbuilding so... who should I trust? Him, or random commenter I've never heard of? It's SOOO hard to decide.
It's so sad that they forced you to click on the deck AND comment on it. Really disturbing development to hear that readers of these forums lack free will and any self-control.
