Aldor Peacekeeper full

Follow the rules!

Control Paladin is a Paladin deck type. It revolves around the use of strong removal in the form of LegacyAldor Peacekeeper and LegacyEquality to stay in the game and out-resource most decks.

The deck aims to prevent the opponent from establishing a board during the early turns, playing powerful cards during the midgame to begin stabilizing, and then dropping threatening late-game powerhouses to secure the win. The deck is able to consistently use its hero power, LegacyReinforce, during the early turns, allowing it to out-value some other control decks.

In Wild, Control Paladin also sometimes carries Whispers of the Old GodsN'Zoth, the Corruptor. The N'Zoth variant revolves around using N'Zoth to resummon the very strong LegacyTirion Fordring, alongside other deathrattle minions. Generally the N'Zoth package is fairly light, sometimes just carrying Tirion alongside one or two copies of a card like Whispers of the Old GodsInfested Tauren.

Control Paladin is usually be built into an OTK-style Combo deck using Knights of the Frozen ThroneUther of the Ebon Blade alongside cards like LegacyYouthful Brewmaster and Kobolds & CatacombsZola the Gorgon to activate Uther's built-in win condition.

Sometimes, a heal-based package can be based on Rastakhan's RumbleHigh Priest Thekal, The WitchwoodThe Glass Knight, Rastakhan's RumbleZandalari Templar and various other cards which synergize with healing to construct Control Paladin, this subtype is commonly referred to as "Healadin". Control Paladin can also utilize the various spells it has at its dispense and build a more spell based deck, utilizing Rastakhan's RumbleShirvallah, the Tiger, Rastakhan's RumbleSpirit of the Tiger, Kobolds & CatacombsLynessa Sunsorrow, Rastakhan's RumbleImmortal Prelate and sometimes an inclusion of the Paladin Quest, Journey to Un'GoroThe Last Kaleidosaur along with Sound the Bells to complete it. Larger spells such as LegacyLay on Hands and Journey to Un'GoroDinosize can also be used to construct a deck based more around Kobolds & CatacombsSpiteful Summoner, but this is rarely seen due to having to give up useful cards such as LegacyEquality and Rastakhan's RumbleTime Out!
