And Rend, I guess. Brian Kibler (of Brian Kibler Gaming) has a decent decklist. http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/231842-brian-kiblers-s13-dragon-paladin would personally consider dropping Boom, and perhaps Rend (Rend's pretty strong in control matchups however) to avoid BGH and replace with Loatheb/belchers. | ||

Early card draw isn't as necessary as the deck doesn't burn through cards that quickly as the mana curve is comparatively higher. Also, classifying 5-mana (or turn 6 3 mana) Drake as early card draw. <_< Biggest issue with cutting drake is, again, removing 3 health minions. Rogue/Patron Warrior matchups get worse without having the option of a 3 damage board clear, and there are quite a few other 3 hp minions like Acolytes and Shredder which are frequently played. I think they run Twilight instead of Azure, which is...ok I guess, but eh. You're sacrificing the rogue/Patron matchup, and the odd Shaman. | ||

I find not having card draw in a deck just makes it really hard to be consistent. WL gets around that with hero power at least | ||

WL gets around that with hero power at least Oh, that one: hard to say, probably not the greatest since the 5 mana slot is super-clogged if you're playing Dragon Paladin. You're absolutely having to choose between Belchers (which can be made up with Coghammers I guess), and probably Azures, and all the good 5-mana legendaries (Loatheb, Harrison). Consorts only help so much. It's still a good addition but there are tradeoffs. Card draw isn't necessary for consistency: midrange Drood for instance carries around fairly low early card draw (most of the draw is late, and using Wrath for card cycle as opposed to just heropowering is 90% of the time a trap, unless you have spellpower on board; they've started running Nourish, but that's also not early card draw). Overall, I don't value early card draw much at all: card draw is useful later in the game, but not almost certainly not necessary early, unless you're playing combo decks like Freeze Mage/Rogue. | ||

Kibler gets ++rep for being a regular on the EJ forums. I've been consistently watching Ryzen for the last couple months. He's a real nice dude who's worked really hard to get his viewership up. Only downside is that he plays almost only Rogue. | ||

You don't want to look all shubby and reflect badly on your otter's appearance, now do you?  (Plus you've gotta do it now because the marriage dinner will make you take so many calories you'll have to burn some later anyway, and the following night won't be enough!) I tend to love combo decks such as the Warrior Worgen OTK because you get to play a bunch of your deck so about every card actually feels like it has its use and is played regularly, and you get to draw a bunch so you always feel like you have options! Oil Rogue, on the other hand, I feel like I'm burning important pieces (like the critical Blade Flurries) on a lot more cards, and the draw is worse, so it's a lot more tense. I still like it because Rogue, but the average case isn't as satisfying. I'm really curious to see what they come up with regarding dragons however, because you don't have truly busted cards such as goblin blastmage for mech in that tribe (does it count as tribal?) and you can't just build aggro with it like you did with murlocs and most mechs (I mean, even midrange mech tends to be on the aggro side, esp. since a board wipe tends to kill these decks). I hope Blizzard will sometimes revisit mechanics (such as holding or "advantage if minions died this turn") even once the adventure is over. | ||

I play so much Warrior/Rogue I could just overvalue card draw. I see what you mean about the 5 mana slot. I thought Pally already have issues with facehunters? How does the new Dragodin work vs that since it seems like it's even later focused with no Muster. | ||
