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.
Khristophesaurus' Spotlight
My Pilot vs. Dragon Warrior
Vs. C'Thun Warrior
Vs. Resurrect Priest

25: Tech choices/substitutions vs. current dragon and N'Zoth meta
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
Maybe you didn't face N'Zoth Priest with Shifting Shades and Thoughtsteal then. Could not even play Tirion.
I think I've gone up against two control priests, one was N'Zoth and then one resurrect priest this season so far.
I suggest adding Chilmaw and a second Book Wrym to the deck
edit:
2x Nightbane Templar
1x Blackwing Technican
are not necessary to have :)
I would add another Blackwing Corruptor cuz it's the strength of the dragons
That would be taking a lot of tempo and relying solely on the control aspect which is just not strong enough I feel. Still let me know how it goes, good luck.
Why no Brann? The sinergy with Netherspite Historian in control matchups is simply perfect :)
Originally I had Brann Bronzebeard included but I feel like he really only fits into the control match ups and even then only has other good synergy with the couple of buff cards which is kinda so-so to begin with. If you want to put him in just take out a Keeper of Uldaman but I think you keep the Keeper.
Bit confused over this, as you already have Rag in the deck. Did you possibly mean Lightlord?
Speaking of, since you've removed the heals in lieu of more control, have you considered replacing Rag with Lightlord?
Whoops! No, thanks for pointing this out. I honestly thought I had Ragnaros, Lightlord in the decklist. Updating now.
Deck looks great, but i have a problem with the cards. If u get lowon cards, there is no chance to comeback without incredible topdecks and luck. Сan u afford a solution? thx
Equality, Consecrate, Aldor Peacekeeper, Keeper of Uldaman, Slyvanas, Blackwing Corruptor, Truesilver Champion - all give great come back value when tempo isnt enough
Netherspite Historian keeps you in the late game as well as N'Zoth, the Corruptor even bringing back 1 of your death rattles is good.
I tried to fit in Solemn Vigil but you fall too far behind drawing and honestly the games won't normally go until the very end so you won't run out of cards. Turns out when you have a shit ton of value, 2 Azure Drakes are enough.
How does one work Chillmaw into this deck
Wondering this myself. Chillmaw seems like a perfect fit in this deck.
I'm so glad everyone is asking about Chillmaw; check out the new section here coming up in about 5 - 10 mins and I'll go over all the great cards that aren't in this deck and why.
Cairne Bloodhoof gets replaced by Chillmaw if the meta is more aggro.
When you play a N'zoth dragon deck, why don't you have chillmaw in there ?

Can somebody tell me how is the deck?
Personally I don't recommend for 5+ climb but if you just want to make it to 5 or 10 and have fun on the way this deck should be good to you. It can beat shaman, druid, zoolock and mage. Has problems against the new secret hunter however.
Can I replace Cairne? I don't have him or N'Zoth but am about to craft either N'Zoth or another staple legendary.
Barnes
If you're missing Cairne Bloodhoof and especially if you're missing N'Zoth, the Corruptor I suggest you play more like a standard dragon pally and run Nefarian and maybe Onyxia. Personally I don't like Ysera in this deck because she is too slow. My average game is 8.5 turns with this deck and you always want to close as early as possible.
