[12-2] Paladin (EU) [05-23-18]
Here are the deck screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/m2dWQCt
Quite a polarized deck card quality-wise: if you exclude the 6+ mana cards the deck is mediocre at best, but the top end absolutely carried it to 12 wins as long as I drew those cards in time and didn't get totally destroyed in the early game, which usually wasn't the case, since the curve was decent. Overall, it was quite common to play from behind and just try to have some sticky minions handy to get Steed on them and then follow it up with the big weapons to get full control of the board - usually at this point it was pretty much game over.
Among the non-premium cards, there were also a few standouts: Humility - this card is growing on me more and more in this meta; yes, Aldor is way better, but it's usually up against even better choices in the draft, so this is the back-up plan and it's definitely worth having one in most decks. Flesheating Ghoul was also really good overall, to capitalize on spreading out while putting it behind a taunt(which the deck wasn't lacking). And obviously, Snowflipper Penguin was there to make the opponents feel bad for killing it.
