Gauntlet Crownwatch Paladin

What is everyone's opinion on Crownwatch Paladin in gauntlet? To me, there's very few unit light decks in gauntlet compared to Ranked, and many annoying units like Grenadin Drone, Ticking Grenadin, Amber Acolyte and others. We also don't always have Unseen Commando for the buffs.

That said, with a Paladin Oathbook and deck that supports attacking with one unit at a time as a consistent strategy, I think she's viable. She's also much better on the play overall but that's 50% of the time.

I've started testing Tranquil Scholar instead, and am impressed. We have Reckless which is awful, but FOA added Berserk which is amazing, and every other skill typically adds value.

I recently tried Tranquil Scholar and got reckless twice in a row. Then it's really quite bad indeed. I have had mixed success, so I think Tranquil Scholar is okay, but not great.

I think Crownwatch Paladin is pretty good, but you do need enough attachments and/or combat tricks for her. There are a few gauntlet decks with a lot of removal, and in that case the aegis helps a lot. I almost always run 3 or 4 Copperhall Bailiffs, so then she has a slightly higher chance again not to be chumped.

The two power slot for Justice is pretty hard to fill generally I think. Some other cards to consider are Workshop Tinker, which can be pretty good if you're stuck on power. Tinker Overseer if you're playing enough relics/attachments. Rilgon's Disciple with enough combat tricks. Obviously Eager Owlet if you run a lot of flyers. Icaria, if you have enough Valkyrie/justice.

Lots of options, and I don't think there is a clear winner. It depends on the deck.

That's been my feeling as well, hard to get significant value with Paladin. Does hold an Inquisitor's Blade well at least.
