Doesn't make the cut in my list which runs 4 additional sources of healing. There are simply enough strong 4 drops.
then which even pally list are you running? or not running even/odd at all?
I had some decent results with it a couple days in. It's actually decent at dealing with aggro, because it can remove a threat and leave a body behind pretty consistently. It peters out in the mid to late game though, so if you don't hold the board comfortably by then, you're pretty screwed.

It's pretty good, but I don't like having the primordial drakes. The list also leaves out the divine shield lions... whatever the hell they're called
Edit: I also dropped silver sword for another Stegodon
This is the deck I'm running around with as well.
It's fucking ridiculous. So goddamn strong. Being able to pump out minions every turn is scary.
It is a scarily consistent deck. No matter your hand, you'll always have a Blessing/Truesilver/Corpsetaker/Call to Arms turn 4 to really ramp up your tempo. Drygulch helps you ramp your hand up for Knife Juggler/Crystal Lion/Silver Sword/Tarim.
There is so much goddamn synergy in this deck.
Also wrote this mulligan advice for someone asking about it.
I haven't actually played the list since I hit legend a few days ago, so there are some newer decks I haven't played with it against yet.
I ran a similar list to this (no Blessing, added something else instead though I can't now remember what). It's definitely very good. I am finding that Druid and Warlock are still better, but it's definitely good and definitely tier 1.
BOK is a worthwhile include, very useful in a lot of match ups. Very good on scalehide for example, as it'll remove a mid sized threat, heal for 5 and usually leave behind a 5/x something lifesteal minion. Basically turns into a 4/4 charge for 4 if put on any minion that can attack. And with this list you'll often have things left alive on board due to the 1 mana hero power, jailor, and CTA.
I feel good
Playing Even pally, against a Spiteful Dragon Priest
We both deck out. We both go to fatigue. He has a mind control left(Thanks for telling me, Spiteful!) I have corpsetaker, and spikeridged. I have the minion advantage thanks to a doom pact that killed his cobalt dragons. I play corpsetaker, bait the mind control, then spikeridge one of my minions after that.
Maaan. This deck is good.

Yeah, I've been playing mobious' Even Pally list a bit today and I like it. It crushes aggro and can go toe-to-toe versus most control lists as well. I took a Cubelock to fatigue and almost won except he was able to Faceless my Tirion and the extra 15 damage from Ashbringer was enough to kill me. :/
excellent suggestions, thank you.
I'm kinda tempted to replace a corpsetaker with crystal knight, but I'm not sure yet, it might be good, it might fluke...
I have literally not played against one Cube deck in about 30 games since release. Kinda funny really.
Not to mention alot of odd/even decks do really well against cubelocks.
Cube lock worked last xpac because the games tended to go slower, but right now its a heavy aggro meta with strong fortification.
Turn 3 mountain giant just feels so dirty and so good. Any good Even Warlock lists? I like mine but it definitely doesn't feel optimal.
And are there any fun priests decks? I've tried odd and even to no avail. Quest is still fun though.

Is cutlass actually good? I've thought cutlass might actually be good at reveal. But now seeing it in action I am not disappointed!
After playing anduin, it got +1 durability because I played a priest card as rogue. Then it switches your class to priest, so the next rogue card I played that turn (second deadly poison) also increased durability by 1. And then the following turn (this turn) I had cheap shot to kill 2 minions and got 3 durability off of that. Endless cutlass.
Cutlass is good like Tess is good.
It needs iffy supporting cards but the cards themselves are clearly strong.

There's a cube Druid catching on right now that plays Hadronox. Thanks to Witching Hour, you can keep resurrecting Hadronox and then you cube it.
Had a awesome lethal.
Using cornerd sentry in taunt warrior and it diluted hadranox druid beast pool. It was awesome

ummm i strongly disalgree i think its one of the strongest cards of this expansion. even if you don't play it if its in your opening hand you very often know IMMEDIATELY what deck you're up against. it doesn't help for synergy, no,l but i think it's going to be worth running in every single priest deck with that kind of useful info (i play lots of wild tho and every class has multiple archetypes)
cards like arcane intellect, eviscerate, defile, every deck has something worth stealing at some point even if the intel isn't doing it for you. recent examples are a turn 1 simulacrum letting me know i was facing exodia mage, and coldlight oracle letting me know i was facing mill and not face odd rogue, so much useful info from that one card, i think its amazing
I think you're massively overestimating how important that information. It's useful sure, but how many classes have decks that are different enough that you will require a different strategy after picking your mulligan? Very few. So that means it only informs you of some of the cards they have, but not what they don't. So again you have to play the same either way because you'll only know what's there, not what's not (and you'll have to play as if they have everything anyway).
On the flip side, it's often bad or unplayable and it's a dead draw the turn you draw it. That's not worth the trade off.
ok made an odd pally deck. its pretty much disgusting.

bloodreaver guildan would be so much fairer for the meta if it wasn't limited to YOUR demons. the meta would open up sooo much counterplay instead of these two stupid decks over and over
We need something like Cornered Sentry but summons 3 1/1 imps for your opponent. And make it Neutral.
Voodoo Dolls with a Baku deck?
And out of all the decks I have made, the only ones I can win with today are Budget Hunters...

You're telling me. I've had times where I use the 2 cost Paladin echo buff card, and I use both cards in my hand, instead of using the echo..
Early mistake that I know cost me the game by one freaking HP.
It happened to me 3 times in Arena! Every time I would look at my hand, see 2 echos, and just quietly seethe to myself 'dammit not again..'. It was pretty hilarious in hindsight.
can someone calculate the following-
Warrior with Sulfuras hero power. I have 2 minions on board+myself, he hero powers and hits me in face
Next turn. I now have 4 minions on my board+myself, he hero powers twice, and both times hits me in the face.
What are the chances of that?

Chances of the first are 33% (1/3).
Chances of each the second time are 20% (1/5).
Chances of everything are 1.33% (33%*20%*20%)
