I’ve been running Odd Paladin since the start of WW and just hit rank 5 tonight. Last season I also got stuck around rank 10 and gave up on the deck for a while. I revisited it this season, made a few adjustments, and have been very successful so far. Going from rank 10 to rank 5 took a total of 54 games, where I went 32-22 (about 59% win rate).
I’ve been using the list above with the following adjustments: (1) I run a second Ironbeak Owl in place of the Blessing of Might, (2) I use Frostwolf Warlords in place of the Corridor Creepers, and (3) I replaced the Archerus Veterans with Abusive Sergeants. Having a second Owl gives you more tools in the mid to late game, especially if you can hold one until you need to clear a big taunt to make a game winning push. I run Frostwolf Warlords because I don’t have Corridor Creepers and don’t want to craft them. The Warlords usually hit the board at 7/7 or better, forcing the opponent to deal with them quickly. They draw silences and single target removal immediately, which is fine by me. It often buys me another turn or two to establish the rest of my board.
The real game-changer for me was switching to Abusive Sergeants. They give you a quick answer to the many 3-health early game minions opponents throw down (Dire Moles, Northshire Clerics, Mana Wyrms, Plated Beatles, Rockpool Hunters, etc.). In so many games my Sergeants were key in helping clear my opponent’s board and establish my own. Give ’em a shot and see if that helps you at all.
