Late game Paladin gets redefined with this week’s deck! Heals, minions, Divine Shield, resurrections — if you don’t stop this Paladin deck before turn 7, he’s got a freight train of pain heading directly to your face.
But Scott’s Survival Paladin deck is famous for surviving in a different way. Which Paladin deck will reign supreme when they battle head-to-head on the show?
Here is the updated card list for Scott’s Survival Paladin deck!

What is a Deck Challenge?
We do these Deck battle episodes once a month. This is where a host brings their favorite deck onto the show, and breaks it down for you — telling you what cards they put in it, how it works, and why they like playing it.
Then, they put their decks to the test and do battle against the other host in a best-of-3-series, live on the show. The twist is that the defending host always use the current Reigning Champion Deck of the show — the last deck a host brought onto this show and won with.
Past Deck Battles
Hunter Beastmaster vs Warlock Swarm
Hunter Beastmaster vs Secret Mage
Hunter Beastmaster vs Muhammad Ali Shaman
Hunter Beastmaster vs Power Paladin
Hunter Beastmaster vs Barbarian Warrior
Barbarian Warrior vs Arcane Druid
Barbarian Warrior vs Survival Paladin
Defending Deck: Scott’s Survival Paladin deck wins by spewing cheap hard-to-kill and regenerating minions onto the battlefield. His deck has reigned supreme for 4 months, and has beaten 1 deck before this episode.
Challenger Deck: Josh’s Last Standin Paladin deck is a super-lategame Paladin deck that stalls out with simple spells and minions and then floods the board with fatty minions that overwhelm the opponent.

Sideboard
I really like this deck because it uses very few high-quality cards that you can’t get from the Naxxramas dungeon. But in case you don’t have some of the ideal cards, here are some easy-to-get backups you can use that keep with the same theme and strengths of the deck. I’ll also add a few upgrades in case you have the more rare cards that I don’t have (but wish I did).
Early Backups
- Boulderfist Ogre (Replace Gruul, Alexstrazsa)
- Frost Elemental (Replace Sea Giant)
- Acidic Swamp Ooze (Replace Sword of Justice)
Future Upgrades
- Aldor Peacekeeper (Replace Acidic Swamp Ooze)
- Lay On Hands (Replace Stormwind Knight)
- Tirion Fordring (Replace Stormwind Knight)
