This has, by far, been the most fun deck I have ever played in Hearthstone. Its a Midrangy/Aggo deck. You're usually winning by turn 8-10.
With everyone trying out and refining their decks, it seems to be working particularly well.
Mulligan for Argent Squire, Smuggler's Run, and Loot Hoarder
Don't get too greedy with the hand buff cards. A 2/2 Argent Squire is great tempo for 1 mana. No need to wait till it's a 5/5.
This is a come back deck. You can have a strong early game, but if not you can have a really strong mid-game. Dropping 3x 5/5 Doppelgangster on turn 5 is huge, and not that hard to pull off. Get the board stable (you don't need total control of it) and push their hp into Leeroy Jenkins / Argent Horserider + Abusive Sergeant ranges. Nobody expects to go from 20+ hp to 0 in one turn from a paladin.
I've made a few tweaks to the deck.
-2 grimstreet marshals -> + 1 brann bronzbeared + 1 consecration.
-2 loot Hoarders -> +2 novice engineers.
-2 acolytes of pain -> +2 divine favors.
-2 Blessing of Might -> +2 Abusive Sergeant.
The added battlecrys of the engineers and abusives help give more value out out of brann. Plus an extra body to buff over using mights.
More reliable card draw. I kept getting tired of my acolyes getting removed without damage, priests stealing my loot hoarders, and having to play unbuffed marshals. If you don't draw any cards vs a control deck you lose.
These changes seem to make the deck a bit more consistent. Still not too fond of divine favor in the deck, especially 2x. But not sure what else to put there for card draw. Ideally everything will be dying during your opponents turn, so solemn vigil usually won't be discounted and its a horrible top deck.
I might have to play with it, but I'm not sure what I'd switch out for doomsayers. Plus there is the whole thing of them being useless past turn 3 or 4. Unless you just get terrible draws, you will never NOT have a board with this deck, there are just too many minions in it and since most of them will be buffed up, you also don't want to kill your own side of the board.
At least with consecration It can be used to get that extra 2hp for lethal behind a taunt wall or to ping off the last couple hp of a big minion.
Though a buffed up doomsayer could be interesting. If they don't kill it they lose the board and effectively skip their turn. If they do kill it, they most likely just traded half their board into it anyways if it has 2-3 attack and 9-10hp.
Buffs are kinda wasted on them. :(

Let me know what you guys/gals think about the changes and i'll look at updating the deck list.
Lot of fun, thanks! After ~30 games I can certainly tell some weaknesses
First, no heal is suicide for many deck if you start with a relatively bad hand. Nor Tirion or Hancho gave value for me so far (I either was winning or was losing by turn 7-8). Against pirate warrior the consecration is a must. I am probably playing wrong but I cannot get value from Meanstreet Marshal, acolyte and loot hoarder is enough draw already.
I often get stuck with buffed uldamans, buffed acolyte, buffed grimestreet enforcer by turn 4 and I am dead by the time I could get value from them. I am playing the deck with Aldor which performs pretty good with all the buffed minions and will squeeze 2-3 taunts that get pretty good if they are buffed.
fun times
I don't know how you can play doppelganger and not Brann Bronzebeard for the cheesy win. Works with Argus, and +1/+1 buffing minion too, so it's never really going to be completely dead. It's the ultimate comeback combo - instantly refill your board.
Consecration has to be better against pirate warrior... most of their stuff is 1 and 2 health. I feel like you're asking the taunt to get weapon'd down and won't actually deal with the board.
Any good replacement for Wickerflame Burnbristle? I'm using Genzo The Shark for now.
edit:Btw, just did 24 damage to a Warlock with Leeroy, Horserider buffed and 2 Blessing + last charge of Truesilver.
Is it possible to replace Meanstreet Marshal with a Novice Engineer? They seem fairly interchangeble in a deck like this.
You may want to look at another 1-cost minion that is good instead to avoid messing with the curve
Hey, pushed in two Divine Favors instead of the acolytes, giving me some really sick card draw opportunities against the midrange and control decks. For a better balance maybe keeping one of both?!
Biggest Doppelgangster so far for me was 9/9, quite good lol. Here is some gameplay for you: VOD Don's Buff Gang

Thank you for the video! Glad the deck is working out for you.
Sup !
Don Han'cho he's not in paladin Cards He is in neutral cards :P
So +1
see ya
1. The deck creator has no control over where this website sets its cards.
2. It is a triclass card, not a neutral card. Makes more sense to call it a class card than a neutral card.
I like the deck but i think brann is a really good addition. as well as ivory knights
why not -aldor +divine favor if its an aggro deck
Fun deck - I've been struggling with Dragon priests so far though.
Would you consider Brann Bronzebeard for doubling up on buffs?
I've had brann in the deck, but I never got much use out of him. he really is only useful turns 8+ and by then you want to be pushing for lethal anyways.
But he isn't a bad choice.
