If you would like to ask me any questions directly and live or be one step ahead of the meta check out my stream at http://www.twitch.tv/sigmasrb at 6 PM CEST almost every day and follow the feeds on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/sigmasrb) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/sigmasrb) for all news! I will try to stream at this time in between 3-5 days a week where I will be playing all of my decks posted here plus some other ones.
Hey guys, Sigma here! First off, sorry for taking so long to upload a deck since the new expansion came out, I've been working on my analysis of the top 10 cards which you can find here: http://goo.gl/MakktM. The second reason is that I really wanted to playtest the decks and make sure that they are good before posting any that would more go into theorycrafting than them being an actual, working deck.
So, without further ado, I present to you my Dreamrattle Paladin, which is a mix of a dragon paladin with a pinch of old Gods, in this case, the almighty N'Zoth, the Corruptor. The deck is working similar to the N'Zoth paladin that is quite present in the meta right now, but is relying on assembling your board presence early on with minions like Faerie Dragon and Blackwing Technician, reinforcing it with strong mid game with the help of Twilight Guardian, Dragon Consort and the high impact Blackwing Corruptor, all while controlling the onslaught of big enemy minions like Flamewreathed Faceless with Aldor Peacekeepers and Keeper of Uldaman and topping it off with the strong deathrattle minions like Sylvanas Windrunner or Tirion Fordring. As nobody will expect a dragon paladin in the first place, N'Zoth will definitely come as a surprise for your opponent. (I've had warriors use both brawls before I drop N'Zoth, simply because they don't expect him).
The A Light in the Darkness always throws people off and confuses them and I see it as as potentially amazing card, as I've gotten Ragnaros, Lightlord out of it more than 5 times and also the cards like Keeper of Uldaman and Aldor Peacekeeper are seen quite commonly as the chances are 4:1 that you will get a paladin minion. 9/9 Ragnaros ftw. Here are some of the screenshots of why this deck rules:
3/6 taunt with divine shield on turn 4? Who doesn't want something like this?
C'Thun decks are as good as won. The 2/3 taunt I got from the A Light in the Darkness.
9/9 Ragnaros PogChamp
Here is the WR printscreen from the tracker: http://imgur.com/fEkneWt
I have a lot more amazing screenshots but these are some of them. I've managed to get a lot of amazing things from the A Light in the Darkness, but I believe two copies might be too much. Just go try out the deck and steer away from the meta that is practically already formed! It's time for dragons! The Mulligan, Strategy, Card Replacements and maybe Match-ups (if the meta forms until then) will be available to you guys here pretty soon! Only thing you gotta do is to show the love!
FAQ
Would Deathwing, Dragonlord be a good fit in the deck?
I personally would say no. The reason is that the dragons are usually used for tempo plays here and for the card draw so if you have more than 2 dragons in your hand by the time Deathwing should be dying, something wrong happened. Besides that I've heard that Deathwings Deathrattle is almost never triggered, as the opponent will probably just ignore it and try to kill you. Deathwing might fit a little bit better in the dragon priest as they have the more controlish aspect to them than the paladin, and especially this one, who relies on tempo early game.
2. What are the replacements for ______?
The replacements will be included with the entire guide which will come out in a day or two. I am really sorry this is so late but I've been busy making a video for this deck and the video for a rogue that has The Ancient One played.
Finally, a big thank you to my first patron, Bearmec! If you would also want to help out by becoming a patron and getting some really amazing perks that you can use on my stream, you can do so at www.patreon.com/sigmasrb!
Cheers for checking out yet another Sigma's deck and as always, the constructive criticism and any suggestions to improve the deck are warmly accepted! See you on the stream!
Cheers,
Sigma
FAQ has been added to the description! :)
With only azure drake as card draw..how do you maintain tempo without card draw?
Never had any problems with card draw. Most of the minions are midrangey and will take a decent amount of your mana. This is no zoo, where you will play 5 cards in one turn. :)
Horrible deck, you lose almost every early game.
This deck has the common problem of these types of decks:
It is very common to have an initial bad hand
What is "this type of deck" you speak of?
Rag can be replace?
Any rempacement for ragnaros, lightlord?
Replaced it with Deathwing. Dragonlord for the ultimate dragon combo.
Replace him with his brother, they won't notice.
Replacements will be up soon!
It looks similar to one of the decks I used to use. Mine was a Reno Jackson N'zoth deck with dragons. I also had a youthful brewmaster in that deck. The only mission in it was to bounce Reno and N'Zoth. It worked at times, and when it did, it worked gloriously, but it was a little inconsistent. I'll give this one a try.
I actually tinkered around to try to make one of those. Mind sharing the list and your experiences with it in the ladder?
Here you go. As for my experiences with it, prior to Whispers, I got to rank 8 with a similar deck, it had exploding taunt minions as anti aggro and bouncing Reno for fatigue as well as dragon synergies for their high value. At the time it worked brilliantly, but right now it doesn't work really well. I seem to lose most of my games. I dunno man, there might be a version that works, but I don't think it's this one. Priests can get specifically annoying with their entombs. I usually don't Reno before I can bounce it because I know some thief priest will take him as well as my Tirion. Baron Geddon worked as a second consecration, that is the only purpose he had and he did it pretty well.
I gotta say though it used to be very satisfying watching Chillmaw annihilate grim patrons.
Well, after a while I decided to make some changes to my Reno Jackson Dragon N'Zoth deck that I showed you before and you know what, it isn't bad at all. Since you said that you had tinkered with such decks I thought you'd be interested in seeing it. Here it is.
I hear this deck is amazing on ranks 15 to 20 :^)
I hear you barely have any comments which have positive upvotes :^)
I don't own chillmaw, can I sub him? Or he's a mvp in this deck?
Respawning an extra taunt can be super powerful. (you N'zoth, they remove tirion and then you die. If you respawn another taunt it makes this alot harder for your opponent) His the second best deathrattle taunt. For your curve he is one of the best 7 drops in standard. The only 7 mana dragon and only 7 mana deathrattle minion.
Id say his important, but I havent crafted him myself, yet.
Chillmaw is a lady dragon. And the replacements will be up soon. :)
