Hi guys, this is an Avenging Wrath divine shield paladin I made. (no Karazhan cards)
UPDATE(8/19):
1.Blood knight was changed back into argent horse rider.
2. One argent protector was changed to one flamethrower to fight for board against other aggros, but totally optional.
3. Even after the new expansion, I am keeping the decklist as is. Moroes, or silvermoon portal is less efficient than what they would replace.
4. Despite the new expansion, it is still very capable of reaching Legend. I am too lazy to do it, but reached rank 4 in 8 days without much difficulty, which proves it.
Using this deck, I was able to get to legend rank in 7 days(North American Server). It took me a day from rank 17to 5, and then 6 days from then. I just got to legend yesterday, and am at 517th place right now.(7/18/2016)
PROOF: Some of you have asked for proof. I haven't figured out how to post photos here since the insert button does not work. However, if you goto

this is a review i wrote on a Korean hearthstone deck page just like this site. On the photos, you can see my name GodofArena1. If you still cant trust I am Godofarena1, please add me #1726. I had the honor to get spectated from 40+ people, and give advice to them seeing them play. Many have already spectated and gotten great results. (Some attained legend, and many top players got 1~2 ranks up in a day.
What kind of deck is this?
Divine shield pally deck starts off aggressively using low-cost minions, and builds up using divine shield. The build up of this divine shield prevent the enemy from using clean spells to clear off your board, while allowing you to take favorable trades.
I think this deck is good in this meta because I saw a lot of shaman, warlock, warrior and some druids. You can avoid thrall and druid's lightening storm or swipe using the divine shields. As for zoolock, you are able to compete the notoriously aggressive zoolock low-cost minions, while potentially clearing off its board using consecrate and even avenging wrath. As for dragon warrior(or any other type), your tempo does not fall behind that of his, and with the caution of ravaging ghoul, you can develop a stronger board. Avenging wrath and tirion supports your late game. Avenging wrath is the key card,and differentiates this deck from other paladin divine decks. It is able to deal 8 from 6 cost, even more than leeroy, and goes well with equality.
I guarantee this is one of the strongest paladin deck, if not the strongest, at the moment (8/19)
Mulligan Tips:
Always bring the 1 costs. Don't be afraid to put down abusive sergeant on turn 1. Also bring argent protector, flamejuggler and loot hoarder. Against warrior, bring uldaman or rallying blade to prevent the ravaging ghoul(buff your own minion. Bring uldaman against druid or even thrall for the 7/7 or to fight for the board. Bring ooze if your opponent is warrior or thrall even rogue. I dont recommend bringing divine favor or steward in mulligan.
If you have the coin, and you have 1 cost, take rallying blade. Very strong.
So basically if you have one 2 cost, and no 1 cost, keep the 2 cost and change all.
Before you play rank, I recommend you play at least 20 games on normal play mode to understand what decisions and plays to make in different situations. This is very important!
I played about 250 games til legend, and after 200 games I was able to fully understand this deck, and make optimal decisions. :) For example, you may need to save the divine shield minion and trade the unshielded one, or break the shield and save the minion for additional damage, when to trade or hit face, when to save cards etc. This part is where many players overlook. Also keep in mind, this is not a hit face only deck.
Tips against Heros:
Against druid, thrall, rogue, and warrior, try to save your divine shields. Against all other, save the minion. What i mean by this is, if the enemy has a 4/2 drake(already damaged) and you have a 2/1 abusive and 2/1 divine shielded minion, kill it with abusive to prevent board clear from swipe, for instance.
Druid: Against druid, it is crucial to develop board control from turn 1. Try to avoid his swipe by potentially developing minions with divine shields, or buffing your minion with uldaman. Dont be afraid to use uldaman for board control in early game. One druid starts using violet teacher, innervate, coin, then nourish, it will be too late. Make sure to kill it. If druids starts off with summoning 2 1/1 with living roots on turn 1, and you have only abusive sergeant, save it, unless you have argent squire. This is an exception in which you save cards to prevent obvious, unfavorable kills. Kill Fandral for sure.(win rate against it 60%)
General Tips:
Ooze: is so good against thrall, warrior and rogue. Break the war axe, doomhammer. Against rigue, try to use it early. Even breaking 1/1 is good.
If you have any questions feel free to comment. I will reply very soon. Also, if you want to see me play, add me #1726 GodofArena1. I ll be happy to demonstrate. Several players have already added me and spectated.
And please hit like if it helped! Its my first time hitting legend and writing here.
I guarantee this is a great deck, one of the best out of the ones posted here. Just need some practice. Although it may not have the most likes, im sure one day it will be acknowledged.
Here are videos that Youtube streamers Furo and kiwiinbacon made playing this deck!
Thank you so much to both of you guys.
Thanks for reading, and hope you guys enjoy! :)
FINAL UPDATE:
For those of you who have been
Using my deck, thank you so much.
Clearly, its one of the best paladin decks present.
Keep practicing, and it will bring you to legend.
You can also try moroes
Or other cards you like.
Using this deck was so fun getting to legend.
HEARTHSTONE, I will be quitting it. Thanks for all your support! :)
How worth issit to craft avenging wrath for this deck? Im currently low on dust, and the only card im missing for this deck is the avenging wrath
maybe another blessing of kings will work. It is not a must, but pretty fun to use.
UPDATE(8/19):
1.Blood knight was changed back into argent horse rider.
2. One argent protector was changed to one flamethrower to fight for board against other aggros, but totally optional.
3. Even after the new expansion, I am keeping the decklist as is. Moroes, or silvermoon portal is less efficient than what they would replace.
4. Despite the new expansion, it is still very capable of reaching Legend. I am too lazy to do it, but reached rank 4 in 8 days without much difficulty, which proves it.
Long time shockadin fan over here. Been waiting a while for someone to come up with a decent list (because me not smart enough) that I actually enjoy playing ^^
Any ideas to replace Keeper of Uldaman though? Aldor Peacekeeper is usually my go to card for this one if the list doesn't already include it but that one doesn't fit this list at all. Anyways,I like the deck and it turned out to be quite decent after a few test runs. Shitty draws can hurt this deck a lot though but that's to be expected from any shockadin list.
Hi. Glad you enjoy it! Keeper of Uldaman is crucial. It is irreplaceable, and I can guarantee if taken out, would drop win rate by more than 5%. It not only 3/3 big taunt minions, but also used to buff your own minions when you aren't against druids or warriors.
If you don't have it, I don't know what i would use.. perhaps another equality and an aldor?
UPDATE(8/15):
1.Blood knight was changed back into argent horse rider.
2. One argent protector was changed to one flamethrower to fight for board against other aggros, but totally optional.
Started rank 3 days ago from 15, now at 5. Feel free to spectate or ask questions, or suggestions.
Good luck!
I'm currently at rank 17 using this deck and when i lose, i never blame this deck
i always blame myself for not getting in the right mind of trading and buffing.
conclusion: this deck is weak but it can pass rank 20
Gaz**k, just use another deck then.
I mean if you haven't even added me and spectated how the deck works, don't even wine here. You played two games, and started wining there is no op card and therefore, after 2 games, the deck sucks. More than 30 of those who have spectated me practiced and acquainted themselves with the deck near the end of last season, and this month they are doing well. Doesn't that even embarrass you?
Additionally, you are still at rank 20 in mid-month. This tells me:
1. You did not do well last season.
2. You reached rank 5 long time ago in the old meta.
3. You still haven't figured out what deck to use this season, perhaps judging all decks on hearthpwn with more than 80 likes "suck" because you played TWO games and lost.
And rank 5 is where the real competition begins. It is nothing to brag about.
If you didn't add me and tried to learn the deck, I have nothing to say. And from now, I won't reply to those who wine, without even having tried. Good luck.
If you got rank 5 at least you would'nt be rank 20 except if you lose a lot
rank 6 and everything is working, even without Avenging Wrath
yeah should work
Where does Moroes fit into this deck? I've been laddering with it and moroes seems like a shoe-in
Thanks in advance!
Hi. I dont think moroes will work well in this deck. Perhaps better in shaman(bloodlust) or druid decks. Its just too easily killed, and even if its buffed, it would be too slow, and the enemy would have taken over the board.
I just dont have the card, but you can certainly try. Just replace an argent horserider.
i agree with what you agree and disagree!
Yo, I made a video about this deck. I like that this deck is actually a bit stronger in the mid game with cards such as Tirion and Avenging wrath(which is highly underrated) than other divine aggro decks. It works quite nice in the meta, cause it's quite aggresive, and it can easily get you to the lower ranks. Blood Knight is also a nice addition, but it's quite easy to make misplays with it cause of greed. Check out my video and leave a comment or two.
Ill give this deck a try since I have all the cards ULU
For low budget replacements, you can swap in a 2nd Argent Horserider for the Blood Knight, and a Argent Commander for Leeroy Jenkins
exactly. And blessing of kings for tirion
Remove Blood Knight for Moroes pleeeeeeeeeeeeease
