The Pilot Shredders are worth it since they’re essentially two minions in one.ĭrop an Acolyte of Pain early since it will at worst cycle for a card and at best net you three additional ones. Equality and Consecration give you a quick way out. Truesilver Champions, Knife Juggler, Shielded Minibots, and Pilot Shredders should help you go toe to toe against their board. A mech mage deck will attempt to swarm the board quickly but you have a variety of ways to handle this. The goal in the early game is to figure out your opponent’s game plan. You might actually need that board clear. Keep a Consecration against hunters, paladins, rogues, warlocks, and mages. In fact, if you’re going second and you draw into a Quartermaster, you can open with your Muster for Battle on turn 3 and then follow up with a coined Quartermaster that will instil despair into the heart of your opponent. Look for your Knife Jugglers, Shielded Minibot, and Muster for Battle. These three cards help provide enough of an early game buffer for paladins to start with. But GvG added a few key cards to help paladin players out: Shielded Minibot, Quartermaster, and Muster for Battle. They would simply get dismantled before they could execute their game plan. Prior to the Goblins vs Gnomes expansion, paladin decks suffered heavily in the early game and could not withstand the rigours of the hunter and warlock zoo decks that were all over.
The advantage to playing the midrange paladin is that it provides you with a variety of tools to shape your gameplan: An aggressive plan with your minions where you apply consistent pressure on the board or a slower control match up where you shut down your opponent’s threats until you gain the advantage. You used to not see paladins as much at all around the ladder but now they’re just all over the place. There have been multiple paladin decks running around lately and their popularity is only now trending upward. Color me intrigued! I had enjoyed playing paladin decks in the past but I didn’t feel they were competitive or quick enough. Then I caught wind of Cloud 9 StrifeCro’s “winstreakadin” deck. I couldn’t rely on sheer speed and brute force to power my way up the ladder anymore.
My beloved hunter deck has been dethroned. After the nerf to Undertaker, I started looking around for new deck ideas to tinker with and to use in my climb on the ladder.
