Midrange Combo Paladin

Utilize Skelemancer + Spikeridged Steed + Bonemare for a very strong midgame and then finish the race with either Stonehill/Rag/Tirion/DK Uther value or combo off with Burgly Bully and Auctionmaster Beardo if your opponent permits you to do so.

Bully and Beardo consume two slots of the deck for the combo.  The deck is not a dedicated combo deck but utilizes it as a counter to excessively greedy decks which can threaten the value-based lategame.  Two Hydrologists are included because they offer a 1-mana spell to use for the combo in addition to being solid plays on turns 2 and 3.

Cards to be considered for removal are Chillblade Champion (this card might simply be too weak without Blackguard), the second Aldor Peacekeeper depending on your meta encounters and Wickerflame Burnbristle.  Wallowflock Branngastly is a strong minion but can be low-impact in a non-aggro-centric meta.  Right now greed consumes the ladder but this could easily change, at which point Whackafling Boregrizzle would become a solid role-player within the deck.  Currently looking for potential alternatives for Chillblade.

I will be watching how Righteous Protector performs.  Due to its synergy with Spikeridged and Bonemare and the presence of taunt giving it an edge over Argent Squire (RIP in obsolescence to my golden ones), it can act as a cheap body that stays relevant throughout the game, similar to Annoy-o-Tron.  It seems solid enough, and we’ll see.

The Princes are not a consideration for this deck.
