as a handlock player, paladin is one of the worst matchups, you have to be super safe with your board or else it gets wiped plus they can aldor/humility + kodo to remove anything at any time. slamming jaraxxus t9 is actually one of the better ways to win because pally has no burst and a 6/6 every turn is broken, but even if you draw all your giants and drakes it's still a hard win. also you can't use your ironbeaks on anything other than sylvanas and tirion, no matter how much you want to...it requires a shit ton of patience and safe play and i've steadily gotten better at playing the matchup but i'd say it's like 60/40 in favor of pally. fatigue is very realI don't like Control Paladin vs Handlock all that much honestly. Life Tap is too fucking broken unless you're gonna be a retard and run Divine Favor.
Yeah, there are definitely situations where Paladin is just out of gas and you need Lay On Hands to have a chance and you don't have it. And it's pretty dependent on drawing Equality, but usually you have an Equality in the first 15 cards, so you can catch up on cards with your sweeps. It also helps that my Paladin deck is really tuned for Handlock, with stuff like 2x Spellbreaker and Shade of Naxxramas instead of Harvest Golem or something.I don't like Control Paladin vs Handlock all that much honestly.

wat r u smokin, the match-up is basically even now with unleash the hounds being unplayable now. the point is hunter isnt completely dead vs shaman like people thought itd be, midrange still is def goodwow u beat shaman with hunter!!1! so gud o__o
Face Hunter actually has a pretty good deck build when you get into the mindset of "how much damage do I have?" instead of "how do I get value?" It was a different mindset to me and interesting, to say the least, but I didn't enjoy the process at all. I switched to Ramp Druid, which has now carried me to rank 5 to 3.wow u beat shaman with hunter!!1! so gud o__o
dat Multi-Shot tho XD
who said hunter is dead :S (seriously midrange hunter without buzzard/hounds is still crazy when handlock is the best deck)
