Legend Rank 13-1 Dragon Paladin (May 2017)

If you can even barely survive in the early game there isn't a deck that can out value you, you want to try and use the discover mechanic that this deck has with Netherspite, Hydrologist and Stone Hill to ideally turn 4 twilight drake, from this you'll see several lines of play and which you take is entirely your choice. If you believe the deck you're against may be aggro then try and take equality, although this deck doesn't have wild pyromancer the early minion presence will either allow for triggers with equality or put you in a situation in which you don't need the card. 

When playing against aggro, depending on the type you must mulligan to merely survive. If nightbane is played against an opposing minion it is very often (due to the nature of the card and it not seeing any play) the opponent will either ignore it or trade into a 1/1, allowing you to exploit these plays I have against legend rank players.

It's very difficult to lose this match up and I am yet to. REMEMBER you're a control deck! Controlling the game doesn't mean you're always winning when it comes to board presence, letting your opponent think they're close to beating you is a staple of this decks curve, the ability to quickly change the board state or heal gives you the advantage over burn decks as well as board heavy decks.
