OTK Control Paladin

This is my take on the Control Paladin OTK. The significant change from the more popular build is that while this deck has the Four Horsemen as a win condition, it does away with Call to Arms in favour of the double Crystology, most often seen in the Holy Wrath OTK version of the deck.

In my experience this improves the deck’s performance dramatically. Not only it is more efficient and modular (2x2mana/draw 2 vs 1x5mana/draw 3), but you avoid the all too often occurrence of Call to Arms pulling invaluable removal and survivability resources such as Wild Pyromancer and Crystalsmith Kangor and subjecting them to the threat of removal for no good reason.

But the main benefit of the change comes from allowing the replacement of Ancient Brewmasters for Youthful Brewmasters. This allows you to progress your win condition by investing just 4 mana a turn instead of 6, vastly increasing your ability to deal with what the opponent is throwing at you as you do so.
