[@Greyhare974]

Great deck! Used this to climb from rank 15 to 10 in one evening. I don't have Elise yet so I use instead that new Paladin weapon that summons minions after each attack. I find it has pretty good synergy with that other card puts all minions at 3/3 and it counters the Warriors a bit after they complete their quest. This deck has saved hearthstone for me as a control player just as I was about to quit, thanks Trump!

[@scalpingsnake]

I am reallly loving spikeriged steed. Against agro its perfect xD

[@salmon1449]

Nick D two mortal strikes at 6?

[@scalpingsnake]

sometimes but if you actually have a deck then you can stand up against it...

[@ctrlaltwalrus3500]

Nick D oddly specific

[@scalpingsnake]

Nick D yeah that's very specific. decks get countered and at the end of the day I said I like the card not that it's going to be top tier in every deck

[@AlucardSange]

I feel like paladin cards have the best intros.

[@dhonatabayerl4347]

1DiabolicalGenius I could agree... but Barnabus

[@BlueRiging]

But COME FORTH, COWARD! Is still about the flashiest intro a class legendary has. Sans Jaraxxus.

[@spoogsq836]

white eyes has a sick one too

[@erich1380]

am I the only one that hasn't played a jade druid once since the expansion?

[@Luis1597Fatal]

erich casey Thank God

[@gardenrabbit3565]

not one. also on NA server around ranks 5-3 i very seldom see a pirate warrior.

[@QBG]

Only Jade cards I've seen have been in hybrid Jade/Elemental Shaman builds.

[@onlyicedgarrett7791]

On day 1 I ran into a few of them. But I've seen only 1 in the past couple days.

[@CloudianMH]

Jade druid is stronger now than it was based on my research, we won't see it popularised until someone plays it in tournament and wins though.

[@iv4nx3]

u know what, Trump isn't the best player i know, he read the power level of this expansion wrong but he has something that makes him a good streamer and keep me watching his videos, on 20:20 in the video u can see what i'm talking about, he's humble and that's the best part of this channel, cheers...

[@MrSmartGuy21]

Jens did you just put a Danganronpa 3 sound effect in my Hearthstone video? I knew I loved this channel for a reason.

[@gabrielserranoguarinos4257]

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICE ABOUT THAT, I went to the comment section only for that lol

[@aizeroth8858]

Where?

[@MrSmartGuy21]

[@jayfarrell932]

I love watching trump hopelessly stumbling around in the dark after a new expansion as he watches his predictions crumble around him

Golden clutchmother zavas as well. He really believed in quest warlock

[@SKer-l6c]

These thumbnails have been hilarious Jens thank you

[@MarioPlinplin]

So I teched in a dirty rat in exchange of a stonehill. The idea is I can counter mage quest and rogue quest. Do you think is worth it?

[@Berethgor]

Even if it is not worth it. It will be fun when it works.

[@NaudaBase]

Paladin has been my favorite class since Beta, so I'm glad you finally get to it, even more glad that this deck actually looks good! Such a value class, so the Pres... hum I mean, mayor of value town has got to play it right ! Keep up the good work Trump

[@blakedies]

ANY ADVICE? - Should I spend my dust on a deck now or wait till a more established meta? Keep in mind, pretty much an entirely f2p player.

[@Leetunen]

Hearthstone noob here. What addon are you using to see your decklist on the side? And the winrate?

[@istvanvincze7411]

Is it worth crafting the mage? wich deck are you supposing now to craft from midrange/combo/controll category?

[@naeviaus]

Considering youre playing Spikeridge Steed, could it be good to hide 2 of the "Buff all minions in hand" guys behind it?

[@senshox15]

I have murloc quest shaman and rogue quest but my favorite deck is a budget secret mage i built... so weird! The win condition is steal or destroy opponents quest

[@6hermosojohnchristian779]

I've been playing Midranged Pally for a while now on ladder. Jackie4chans's list runs lightfused with jungle, darkness and vinecleaver. What i love most about stegadon is that you could give your silver hand recruits poisonous and it deals with the quest rogues 5/5 easily. it also dealt with aggro easily with making them taunt.

[@ToothlessCat]

I have a fealing that in future Defias Cleaner might actually see some play. Considering Priest quest and Spikeridged Steed.

[@mightybatillo]

Toothless Cat Quest priest is not played very much : (

[@indraompongworks2604]

>That Danganronpa 3 sound at 24:18 Brings me bad memories man

[@Adoribull1312]

daddy Jens is feeding me the good stuff today

[@danil8663]

Why would you run tar creeper over wickerflame burnbristle?

[@ghp0518]

The hydrologist is such a funny card, I think it's supposed to say "Eureka! I've done it!" but it sounds more like "Yo ni**a I've done it!"

[@Axel-ds7oq]

"yo nigga, i've done it" - hydrologist

[@MrTVx99]

Great stuff man, I just finished watching your last vid and you upload another.

[@timeriksson2434]

well you won against the quest-worlock and it was the best match-up for the worlock, however the doomsayer going of was a huge tempo-swing that more often then not, are not going to happen. So I am not ready to give up on the deck jet!

[@skinny0408]

Is Ragnaros lightlord Even necessary for this Deck ?

[@Growltank233]

[@sirgrig7845]

Is trump playing on his smurf account? Or what's up with his in-game name?

[@jamesford5504]

Why are you avoiding making a quest rogue deck trump?

[@cubandarknez]

I was watching the vod and just thinking, how is this deck doing so well??? Is it really just variance? Where is the unfairness of the deck?

[@dinez_]

I got 1800 dust, what should I craft??

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Sun Keeper is kinda like a combination of Keeper of Uldamon, Eadric, and Quartermaster all in one. Pretty powerful card when used in the right situation.

[@juantorres5164]

the thumbnails are top tier stuff

[@ShawnValsean]

Does anyone know if recruit paladin is a thing in wild?

[@valueking7263]

Hi Jens, nice editing there

[@dieseld7698]

wouldn't the legendary that when you cast a spell upon, it casts the same spell on another 1/1 minion it spawns be good in this deck? Like you almost auto win the game when you cast a spikeridged steed on it.

[@ichmag11]

for 10 mana LUL

[@superlouis3333]

It's too inconsistent if you can only get value by comboing it with Spikeridged Steed.

[@Ilegalximigr4nt]

Thumbnails are on point as usual

[@Yakchew]

Try a murloc version of midrange pala. It is more consistent for you to do progress into mid ~ late game. Also used 2 stonehill defender because this is one of the best card for paladin (i know it is neutral) since it can discover Wickerflame, the new 6mana taunt legendary, Tirion or Primordial Drake ( can be combo with Equality incase you used your concencration ).

[@SuperSymn]

Funny enough I think he tried something similar yesterday

[@Yakchew]

Did he do well with it? I am currently rank 4 with that deck.

[@SuperSymn]

Yakchew oh I can't remember, wasn't paying too much attention, but I'm sure Jens will upload those matches eventually

[@OneClickStories]

Did Trump really change his battle tag to Your opponent or that is just some editing magic?

[@1Diabolicalgenius]

Any cards from Un'goro that you all want to put in every deck like how loatheb or Dr. Boom was? Still sitting on my 9.000 dust dont know what to get. Thinking about mage control elemental or some other control jazz.

[@ibandebrock7038]

1DiabolicalGenius Elise is Nice but if you want wins Craft rogue quest

[@zephyrsaix8319]

1DiabolicalGenius yeah elise is the way to go

[@adernain]

Dont worry, I have not yet wasted any dust except on a golden Sunkeeper and Elise. Otherwise I am just waiting for the meta to stabilise. But I agree

[@1Diabolicalgenius]

I was never a fan of rush down. That'll get boring fast. I'm tired of seeing it and haven't even done it yet. I always played control warrior, Handlock, midrange paladin or reno mage etc. looking for something new but control-ish.

[@adernain]

Try this deck then. Nzoth paladin might be also viable

[@Shockking21]

i really want to try this deck but im missing rag, elise and sunkeeper and only have enough dust for one right now. which is most important and what are some good replacements?

[@tiltedfrog1600]

Shockking21 I wouldn't recommend crafting any if you have little dust. Neither of the paladin legendaries are viable in any other deck, Elise is questionable and Paladin hasn't done well for long since standard. Save for a more universal legendary or use the dust to make a complete deck.

[@Shockking21]

Tilted Frog that may be true but i have fine warlock hunter and pirate decks and im not really interested in playing rogue or mage this expansion (plus im missing too many cards). i like midrange decks and midrange paladin used to be my favorite back in the muster days. also it seems that elise is in pretty much every slow deck and outside her there don't seem to be many multipurpose legendaries in this expansion.

[@Shockking21]

wish i got to see how this deck did against taunt warrior and rogue though since that's pretty much all i seem to play against

[@onlyicedgarrett7791]

Tilted Frog Ragnaros Lightlord is viable in Elemental Paladin

[@tiltedfrog1600]

OK that's fair. My bad, I took your comment as meaning that you didn't have any other deck. I too am a long term paladin player and after the standard rotation I ended up spending 10,000 dust on N'zoth Palidan, which very quickly sunk into uselessness. I've played quite a bit of this Mid-range since I saw the video and would definitively recommend sun keeper for this, as he is really versatile, with buffing your minions and shrinking your opponents. He also won't rotate out for 2 years unlike rag. As for Elise she is very much a tech card, I simply am trying other cards in her place as I don't have her (such as ooze, gollacker crawler or dirty rat)

[@TheChrismasCow]

Well your plantlock is pretty good

[@TheBreathless24]

An idea for thought. If Spikeridged Steed's text was "Give a minion +2/+6 and Taunt. Summon a Stegodon" would it have better value, worse, or about the same?

[@nonokraan6567]

Alex Val Good question. Probably slightly better.

[@smugglet]

What does @Trump use to show his deck on the side in games

[@StiltonGaming]

hsdecktracker (dot) net is where you'll find it. It's awesome

[@E0011]

What's the hyoe over Hydrologist?To me it looks like hot garbage

[@Ktosiowiak]

Let's see how long usernames can get,I guess they can pretty damn long like really long It's pretty good because you can pretty much pick whichever secret is best in your situation (you choose one of three, and there are 5 in total in standard) without wasting space in your deck for it (so it's like running 32 cards in 30 card deck, those 2 cards being any of 5 available secrets), AND it has ok-ish body that can trade into some 3/2s (or bigger guys if you picked repentance), AND it is a murloc, so you can fit Curator into your deck (and for example stampeding kodo and primordial drake) for draw later in game (and to ensure that your later topdeck won't be 2/2 murloc, but some heavier stuff)

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Discard lock is great, with tonnes of draw and discard cards. Heavy push. Interesting you never ran, the Stegadon for the silver hands. :( or atleast put an archetype of staged and buffs for a silver hand adapt.

[@zockogames]

Would hand paladin work?

[@joshualee6536]

I think this deck is more control than midrange. This deck has a lot of endgame but not enough early game: doomsayer, pyromancer, stonehill, acolyte are all early drops but all are slow and seek value later in the game. The fact that the curve is dangerously heavy (5 6 drops in a midrange deck???) makes the deck slower than it actually seems. I think "midrange paladin" is a misnomer and the title should reflect the actual nature of this deck: control.

[@Grabbax]

With every expansion A hero rises And a hero falls

[@dankmemez7031]

What decks besides cancer rogue are viable?

[@wobblefoot7607]

DankMemez Elemental mage and shaman. Ramp druid. jade druid. aggro rogue or miracle rogue. Murloc shaman. all of those have decklists on competitivehs subreddit if you want lists.

[@gremlinchemist3621]

And taunt warrior.

[@yeremyrus4056]

I did pretty much the same thing, except with handbuff. Works pretty well.

[@Phaien]

ivory Knight just bad now? did too many Paladin spells rotate out?

This meme is already outdated. Non quest rogue is better.

[@V_Deity]

Rem Rem anime is fucking trash

[@RobinLundqvist]

The uploads! So much value

[@atmaximum]

why isn't he facing off against quest rogue all the time?

[@Dadbod007]

The rogue quest shouldn't get its first tick when you play one minion. Should be after you play something that you already played. Also the pally quest at 6 buffs is too much. 5 is more competitive

[@inperangua]

How did Trump missed Vorax Stegodon value?

[@CommanderBLY77]

Sunkeeper Tarim is really good. Got me out of some really sticky situations tbh.

[@andy78226]

I swear the hydrologist says "young nigga" when played

[@superkill6267]

These thumbnails are amazing

[@randomsv4071]

Why Trump's name was "your opponent"?

[@tymonhuibers3291]

why is it called midrange?

[@ibandebrock7038]

Tellie Gamezz because its very strong midgame

[@forgloryscrubs7571]

Tellie Gamezz Because it has the most value during turns 5-6

[@tymonhuibers3291]

ForGlory Scrubs and Iban De Brock thanks!

[@zhen5537]

midrange control paladin is already very popular in china, why is no1 running it in na till now

[@parkerwicht800]

has anybody even seen a big cluthmother yet the highest ive seen on ladder is a 4/4

[@kingdavey90]

parker wicht , same thought I had watching the discard lock deck

[@blakearius]

gotten to 8/8 highest. average is 4/4

[@crooker23]

parker wicht got a 16/16 against taunt warrior, didn't work out

[@klusell7014]

Did Trump change gametag?

[@funkyshade]

I'd love to play this deck! Guess I'll better go sell myself on the street because playing this game costs your soul.

[@Atoreman1]

what is the app where you can see your cards and win rate that he is using?

[@Sk00by]

Hearthstone Deck Tracker, its really awesome.. you can get it here -> hsdecktracker.net/

[@Atoreman1]

O thanks buddy i was searching but not clue im really thankfull

[@eduardoribeiroucv9630]

what does a deck "midrange"?

[@AllegoryGar]

thank u for going through the theory crafting and thought process, not many other big hearthstoners do that

[@Vasil_ivanov7]

bro can u help me to make my deck on paladin cause i dont have same cards pls

[@pseudogenesis]

Why is his name "Your Opponent"?

[@nonokraan6567]

pseudogenesis Yes.

[@buffedpebble9365]

I stopped playing Hearthstone for like 5 months but if paladin is a thing again I have to come back.

[@latvian14]

not sure if the deck is actually that good if you play against tier 2-3 decks, but it is an interesting idea that should investigated.

[@oniuserjh]

stonehill is amazing for value in pally..best taunts in the bizz

[@TheMiningProbe]

at 22:47 wouldn't it be right to sunkeeper trade

[@FrostyPumpernickle]

i love the 22:50 string of events lmao

[@RfoX98]

i thought his elemental mage was decent too, although missing a bit of a win condition, with some polish it would probably turn out great

[@eNeTic]

22:35 Is it just me or is the Hydrologist saying "Yo niggah, i've done it!" when you play him?!

[@CuriousMoth]

That unfortunate unicorn deck at the end XD

[@marioalmanza32]

I think Elise Starseeker is Trump's true waifu

[@edwardzhuang2001]

trump changed his name to "Your Opponent"?

[@samsonjellykieleros8261]

Is that a ngnl shirt?

[@TheJokzer]

Love Trump's No Game No Life shirt

[@520_metal]

Ungoro was such a cool expansion.

[@D4Gamerz]

Didnt Kolento create this exact deck first on a whim a few days ago?

[@kocsisbence9518]

why is Trumps battletag "Your opponent"?

[@tricky.14]

Awesome deck man!

[@smugglet]

Where is the vorax

[@pudgeunderscore]

doesnt this deck get shit on by taunt warrior quest?

[@d3s3rtray]

Elize is definitely better than Malchezaer. She doesn't dilute the deck's card draw as much so cards can be combo'ed easier. But opening the pack can often be a question of is there enough room to add 5 random cards to the hand? I don't think the pack could be played in a control match up until one side was losing the value can and hence low on cards. The pack is a lifesaver at that point but its still inflexible to use.

[@BigMuskachini]

Wow this deck actually seems cool for once.

[@vHectiKv]

It would be cool if Blizzard would reveal the cards for curious root when the guess is wrong.

[@brettpierce5225]

Seriously what kind of person plays Pirate Warrior right when a new expansion comes out?

[@blazerj4917]

After being super salty on the first day I added every pirate warrior I played against to ask them what in hell was wrong with them. Every single one of them answered that they dont have the money to buy pack or any means to craft a new deck. Then I realized how incredibly cheap the pirate deck is without patches. Thats why you meet most of the pirates on rank 15, its new players who struggle to acquire dust and learn other decks

[@gremlinchemist3621]

Aaaand it counters quest rogues.

[@hiimorin3802]

Mr. president, is that shirt from no game no life(anime thing)
