Trying out 2x Smuggler's Run for -2x Nightbane Templar
Also taking Wickerflame Burnbristle and Solemn Vigil in place of Ragnaros, Lightlord and Netherspite Historian
IF you're looking for faster deck for S33 (Gadgetzan release) then might I suggest my Jade Golem Rogue.
The True Heroes
N'Zoth, the Corruptor:
Bringing back three of the strongest deathrattle minions of all time.
Wickerflame Burnbristle:
Will save your ass in those aggro match ups.
Dragon Consort
This tempo IS UNREAL.
Deck made to reach ranks 5 - 10 during seasons 30 - 32. Past that you will have a more difficult time (especially in MSoG.) This is a tempo driven deck with hella reach. Some skill required (like any dragon deck.) Most of the time you will play on curve, high value minions. General and meta mulligan guide below. More votes, more detail! AND MORE VIDS!
11/11/16 - Removed Ragnaros the Firelord and put in the correct Ragnaros, Lightlord. Had my Rag's mixed up.
12/12/16 - Replaced altogether now by Wickerflame Burnbristle for current meta.

My Pilot vs. Dragon Warrior

50: 'All' meta match up videos w/ detailed play style explanations
- Tech choices/substitutions vs. current dragon and N'Zoth meta:
N'Zoth, the Corruptor: Honestly this card has to go into every palladin deck. You're going to have Tirion Fordring and Sylvanas Windrunner anyway.
Cairne Bloodhoof: The third strongest death rattle you have available that will benefit this deck type. If the meta were more aggro and less midrange I'd suggest swapping Chillmaw at that point.
Chillmaw: This is an excellent card however just like Ysera is too slow and often ends up clearing or damaging your own minions as you are at least competing for the board already when played. If you don't have Cairne Bloodhoof then you probably do run Chillmaw.
Ysera: My average turn per game was 8 last season and 8.5 this season so far (now up to 11.) Even in control match ups you have N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Netherspite Historian. This card is too slow.
Alexstrasza: Not conventionally in dragon pally but a strong card. Still doesn't fit this deck and I feel if it has a place in dragon decks maybe mage.
Ragnaros the Firelord: Honestly just have too many big minions already. Rag would be great.
Forbidden Healing: I'm still considering this card but for now I do think Aldor Peacekeeper is better in the current meta.
Ivory Knight: I really want to make this card work but I feel like Keeper of Uldaman is doing better in this meta.
Wild Pyromancer: Has the same issue as Chillmaw in that it clears your board.
Nightbane Templar: Always was the weaker link in the deck. Especially without this next card.
Brann Bronzebeard: I really want this to fit in but before this could go in we'd need more healing and there already isn't enough room.
Ragnaros, Lightlord: Run this if you don't have Wickerflame Burnbristle but know that these cards were switched out so the aggro match up is more favorable.
Cards I really like but still don't fit with N'Zoth:
Onyxia: Great card stats wise.
Nefarian: Too much RNG for me but another strong card.
Loot Hoarder: I've often considered putting in one for a Netherspite Historian.
If you guys have any other cards that you believe fit let me know in the comments below. - General mulligan:
Aggro: Keep Faerie Dragon, Equality, Consecrate, Blackwing Technician, and Grimestreet Outfitter
Consider keeping Netherspite Historian if you have a Faerie Dragon.
Tempo/Midrange: Keep Faerie Dragon, Blackwing Technician, and Grimestreet Outfitter
Consider keeping Netherspite Historian if you have a Faerie Dragon, also Truesilver Champion is great to keep if you're going second and feel like the match will be slow enough.
Control/OTK: Keep Blackwing Technician, [/card], [card]Netherspite Historian, and Truesilver Champion
If you have Netherspite Historian, Blackwing Technician.. KEEP ANY DRAGON.
Consider keeping Aldor Peacekeeper and Ivory Knight IF your hand looks good.
- Meta mulligan:
Meta has changed since MSoG release. Know the meta and what archetype you are more than likely matched up with!
This deck is very finely tuned but if you're missing a card feel free to ask about possible replacements below in the comments and I will give my advice.
Props to Eightlimb for his EU dragon deck that gave me the inspiration. You can find it here: Midrange Dragon Pally
Additional Props to Khristophesaurus for the spotlight video. You can find his youtube channel here
awesome deck! any replacements for Tirion Fordring? hes the only card im missing.
Probably Chillmaw would be best since you're losing a powerful deathrattle. Ragnaros, Lightlord is another suitable replacement although he weakens N'Zoth, the Corruptor.
In this meta Infested Tauren would probably be fine as well.
Down to 20 from 15. Maybe that's because I don't have Wickerflame Burnbristle Twilight Guardian
This deck was also made back in October way before MSoG came out. It was never really meant to be played this season brutha. I added the MSoG cards just to try em out but this deck definitely isn't tier 1 anymore. The Twilight Guardians are pretty huge in this aggro heavy meta and Wickerflame Burnbristle is essentially the same aggro slow.
Thank you, I liked the Idea very much. Too bad I found it this late :(. I guess paladin is in a bad place atm and I only have Paladin legendaries plus the neutral legendaries listed in this deck.
Paladin is one of the worst classes in constructed right now for sure. I feel your pain though bro I'm still missing Kazakus and Patches the Pirate..
any update with new cards plz?
My initial thought was to just retire the deck. The new cards for pally don't really fit into the dragon archetype, they're all buff centric. Also priest is just doing dragon better right now. I'd like to update the deck I just don't see any new fits. Any thoughts? Maybe I just need some feedback to get the creative juices going.
You got me thinking and I have decided to swap out 2x Nightbane Templar for 2x Grimestreet Outfitter since this deck is almost 90% minions. Actually thinking about it now let's try Smuggler's Run first since we don't actually have a turn 1 play and now more than ever tempo is important (especially in our aggro heavy meta.)
ok well i understand the points you make here shame to see deck retire but a candle that burns twice as bright burns out twice as fast :) ,,but i am still gonna play it:D
I'm gunna give it another shot as well with the new card subs I put in. Also threw in Wickerflame Burnbristle and a Solemn Vigil to try and keep up with aggro/mid-range.
yes! we are up and running again :D
Nice deck, don't spend all of your dragon (always have 1 dragon in hand) until there is no cards synergy with dragon
This is my gameplay vs Control Warrior, tough one, until fatique lol
A wonderfully constructed deck. I don't have Ragnaros, Lightlord so I used Ragnaros the Firelord as a replacement. Currently 8-1 and Rank 13! Cheers!
i have all the cards except Cairne Bloodhoof. I don't have Chillmaw either. Any replacements?
No good ones. Probably just run normal Dragon Pally although I feel like it's a little worse off in the current meta.
I don't have Ragnaros, Lightlord, could i replace him with Ivory Knight or Brann Bronzebeard?
Ivory Knight works pretty decently but I'd say Forbidden Healing is a little better for the healing aspect.. but you can't completely disregard that 4/4 body. One of those two and you'll be fine.
Azure Drake is mostly for the extremely needed cycle and its a dragon. I already explain why I don't have Chillmaw in the deck above and Deathwing, Dragonlord would have to take place of something like Cairne Bloodhoof which would slow the deck even more.
I can't tell you how many times I've needed the Dragon Consort into Azure Drakee plus Consecration combo.
Dude, what? Don't even joke about replacing Azure Drake. It's arguably one of the best cards in the game. Thalnos' big brother. Considerable body. Spell dmg. AND draw. AND dragon. It's the most versatile and useful card in the deck. And is your ONLY draw, so you can't replace it never, ever, ever!
