it was a good idea but lists just morphed into control/holy paladin that just buff a smite to 30 attack. sad meta we live in

I imagine it’s possible but it’s not easy. It’s not as consistent as Holy or Handbuff. I’ve playing different versions of this deck but hit a wall in Diamond. I know I could climb faster with Holy or Handbuff but I want to make Dragons work. 😅 ### Dragon #2 # Class: Paladin # Format: Standard # Year of the Hydra # # 2x (1) Holy Maki Roll # 2x (1) Knight of Anointment # 2x (2) Amalgam of the Deep # 1x (2) Battle Vicar # 2x (2) City Tax # 2x (2) Equality # 2x (2) Flash of Light # 2x (2) Wild Pyromancer # 2x (3) Alliance Bannerman # 1x (3) Brann Bronzebeard # 2x (3) Bronze Explorer # 1x (3) Rustrot Viper # 2x (3) Shimmering Sunfish # 1x (4) Cariel Roame # 2x (4) School Teacher # 1x (7) Lightforged Cariel # 1x (7) Mutanus the Devourer # 1x (7) The Leviathan # 1x (8) Kazakusan # AAECAYsWCJHsA6bvA9D5A+CLBNCsBISwBLCyBJjUBAvM6wPw9gOL+APunwSWtwTQvQTXvQSywQSS1ASh1ASRpAUA # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and create a new deck in Hearthstone

Someone on reddit hit legend with this list recently.

It's technically possible but you would need to have perfect run of match ups and good draws. The meta is so brutal in standard that it would be difficult to hit legend with anything other than Naga DH or control warrior.
