    Why Hydrologist?
    I'm considering running this left, subbing 1 Hydrologist for Ragnaros, Lightlord. Thoughts?

    1. TheLawnNinja

      If you're going to include Rag Lite, you probably don't want to remove a 2 drop for an 8 drop. Not good for your curve. Hydrologist, in addition to filling out your curve, is surprisingly versatile. Being able to discover a secret that fits the current situation is way better than wasting slots by putting secrets in your deck. A clutch Noble Sacrifice can buy you an extra turn. A clutch Repentance can render a fat enemy taunt impotent. A clutch Eye For An Eye can win you the game. Hydrologist may seem ho-hum, but it's actually a very useful card.

      You could try replacing one of the Grimestreet Enforcers with Rag. Of course you could also discover Rag through Servant of Kalimos.

    3. dasmanuel

      Spikeridged Steed? By far the worst card in the deck.

      1. GRE3N

        lol this helped paladin a lot :)

  2. Insane1990

    any replacement for wickerflame?

    1. Bearpaw1

      Try MC tech

    2. Spire96

      I am trying with the murloc that drops 2 cards from the deck and I think is better in the most of situations than mc tech

    3. another guy

      Thunder lizard is a pretty good replacement

    4. darthpol

      Try Stonehill Defender. Not only is it a taunt minion itself, it gives you a higher chance of discovering a Paladin taunt minion, most of which are legendaries.

  3. Domino7518

    Is there any good replacement of Blazecaller?

    1. Velkymoss2239

      Not really

    2. Cridn

      No, blazecaller is one of the main reasons to chose the elemental way.
      Dont play thus tribe without the key cards, there is other ways to play buff pala

    3. Highblood

      Depending on how much dust and what cards you have at your disposal, I would recommend tirion fordring, grimestreet protector or possibly a grimestreet enforcer.

    4. Ulti Atlas

      Use Doppelgangster. This is ONLY AND ONLY if you have no resources to craft or obtain a blazecaller

  4. Klania

    Is there a place for Ragnaros the Lightlord? Can i use him instead of wickerflame??

    1. davis barrios

      Rag or tyrion

      1. Bling

        Rag isnt standard any more though

        1. JustSavita

          Lightlord -_-

    2. plop

      your suppose to discover him

  5. Faruk Karakaya

    What is the WR of this deck?

    1. Oz

      Sus sikerim

      1. faruk

        ne dion amına koduumun gavatı

  6. Ricemam

    Can i replace Wickerflame for a Tirion?

    1. Ulti Atlas

      No, i recommend you use Wickerflame as buffs on him work very good due to bonus heal per damage.

    2. throwaway

      stonehill defender is a nice replacement. that or the 3 drop ooze mabye

  7. sgtsnooky

    Could Ozruk fit into this deck? I just played against an elemental shaman that dropped a 5/20 Ozruk on me and since this deck does not play hard removal, it stuck pretty hard.

    1. Kyouma

      I don't like really big bodies with no battlecry/deathrattle because one hard removal like Hex or Sap is a really good mana trade-off and you have to spend elemental activators to just give him 5 more health a piece.

  8. Kyouma

    Does Tarim have any place in this deck alongside stuff like Vinecleaver or Lost in the Jungle? I got Tarim in a pack recently but don't have Tirion Rag or Wickerflame, but lots of elementals. I also don't want to try crafting Rag knowing he'll rotate out in 4 months.

    1. PDinny

      First off, your assumption that Ragnaros, Lightlord will rotate out next *expansion* in 4-ish months is wrong. He'll exit standard format at the next standard rotation, but that won't be for another year. No cards will leave standard before the Year of the Mammoth ends.

      I don't believe Tarim has a place in *this* handbuffing deck, as he most likely will end up lowering the stats on handbuffed minions. I also would not see how Vinecleaver and LitJ would fit this handbuff deck.

      If you want to use your Tarim and Vinecleaver in a deck, I'd recommend trying a midrange paladin deck. I think you can build it around an elemental shell (see additional tips below). It's probably not as good as a 'proper' midrange/control paladin, but I understand you don't want to commit (yet) to Tirion, Ragnaros and, potentially, Wickerflame.

      If, on the other hand, you *do* want to try Kolento's elemental handbuff paladin deck as described here, but not having Wickerflame is holding you back, you could sub him with a Stonehill Defender; he provides taunt as well as giving you the option to discover another useful taunt. Another option is Mistress of Mixtures if you prefer the heal.

      Additional note: if you go for an elemental midrange build, Hydrologist and Golakka Crawler make for useful draws from the Curator (assuming you have Karazhan), and Blazecallers may work fine instead of Tirion and Ragnaros. Also, you have a decent chance of discovering Ragnaros, Lightlord from Servant of Kalimos.

      This is a bit of theorycrafting on my part though, so don't spend resources on it if you don't have them already, but it might be fun to try.

  9. sandboxgod

    Spikeridged Steed is a staple in almost Paladin build. It is the new 'sledge belcher' card for good reason.

  10. Matt

    Is this a standard or wild build? It's not letting me use it on standard, just crafted it all............

    1. Ulti Atlas

      It is a standard build. Works for all of us. Try restarting your hearthstone...

  11. Dargor

    Wich card is best replace for Wickerflame Burnbristle? (i don't have only this card)

    1. throwaway

      Stonehill Defender is pretty good in this deck. His health outweighing his attack makes him a better body when buffed. He also provides you another minion so that when you topdeck a handbuff card in the midgame, it's not as bad because your handsize remains large. Also taunt is a small plus.

  12. Wakana

    Is this deck still relevant in the current meta?

  13. Heartcher

    This deck beats Sindragosa in the adventure.
