Booted up Hearthstone for the first time in a year, Noticed this Juicy Paladin Deck that kept beating me.
So I sold some old cards and made this Pally deck, went from Bronze 10 to Legend in 6 days.
This Deck will get you to Legend, and it only uses three legendaries!
I was positive winrate in the main 3 face deck matchups:
-Hunter
-Demon Hunter
-Rogue
--> If you get ahead with board early in any of these games the matchup becomes hilarious because now you can go straight face and if they dont kill off your board you buff your minions and its gg. You can absorb their 3'2s and 2'2s when you are smashing them in the face for 9 every turn. If ur early game draws are crap then try to aim for a turn 6 or 7 Libram of hope after deductions. A turn 6 Libram of hope against a face deck and they usually concede on the spot.
I destroyed almost every Druid. Druid matchup is laughable. Druids lack of hard removal makes the buffed minions and early game snowball unstoppabble.
Mage was the only really tough matchup because they can keep up with the pressure if they get their combos going.
Priest is a good matchup, you will win alot with your 4 attack minions in the mid game. but i they can sustain with the right draws you can get some long fun controlly games. The key to this matchup is making 4 attack minions against not highlander priest, against highlander priest you can make more than 5 attack minons more often.
Didn't play many Warriors which is the 'Hard Counter' to Libram Paladin but my early game snowball doesnt let him build any armour which staggers his midgame and if its Bomb warrior I can drop him before too many bombs go off.
The Mirror matchup was really the matchup to behold. The most intense for sure. Getting a quick board advantage normally is nullified by the gg turn 4 lightforged zealot. Most of the time I found the first person to Play Liadrin or Lightforged CRusader took home the W if the game was able to stabilize at the mid game.
Lady Liadrin is a ridiculous card. If you get the magic number of 4 or 5 0 Cost Librams of Wisdom you want to play her assaappp.
So many hidden lethals with Liadrin. So good as a finisher. But also if you have nothing else, the Librams you get off her make you get 2 mana 6'6s every turn from your hero power. That allows you to Last as long and sustain against any control deck as well.
Use the Blessing of Kings liberally just use it. You want your hand to be low for a Turn 7 Crusader or Liadrin.
This deck will get you to Legend. Good luck.
SideBoard:
- I use the Bronze Explorer and cut Blessing of Kings if I am in a pocket of hard aggro decks. The lifesteal off Bronze explorer is amazing against a face deck in a deck that has 1/2 buff cards. The discover a dragon from Bronze explorer is powerful against any non face deck as well. Sometimes you get that much needed taunt from it too!.
-If I am in a section of all Control decks I might sub out 1 Consecration for an extra Crusader so I have much better chances of that turn 7-9 power play.
-the plus 8 plus 8 card I think is over rated because you typically want to be the aggressor and not being able to attack face takes away some quick lethal or swing turns if you use a Blessing of Kings instead. Feel free to replace the Kings or a Conc with a plus 8 plus 8 for 5 mana card thingie
Remember: This is a tempo deck, not a control deck. If you get ahead on board you can start hitting their face. Do not throw your 8'8s into 1'1s. Hit. Their. Face.
