Pretty self explanatory. Getting tired of getting swarmed by their lucky dragon draws and having my board cleared. Do I have to play heavy agro to counter or heavy control to counter it?

Try literally any Rogue deck. Pirate Rogue is cheap to build and easy to pilot.
Anything fast can counter it, the problem is they can counter that with Equality+Consecration
Other than countering it.
People nowadays should know better than ask for a Button deck to be buffed. Only the fact that ocurred is proof enough that people deserve it.

Yep
Doesn’t care about board because of equality consecration
Doesn’t care about late game because infinite dragon diarrhea for free
Doesn’t care about health because renewing flames + ursol
If somehow you get a little uppity the 8/8 will bounce it for 2 turns

Control Warrior. Pretty much beats most decks in the current meta. It’s a slow grind and matches go long but it wins almost every time.

Control warrior doesn’t beat imbue paladin reliably whatsoever what are you talking about ?
Even if you rat and survive the bullcrap, you still have to contend with infinite dragon flood
Steam clean that and they’ll just generate more
And equality nullifies tortulla

It’s good up until top legend because there’s not enough Druid being played at lower ranks and Rogue is far too complicated for the average casual to bother with.

I’m not even playing Rat or Cleaner and i beat them handily. No idea what you are talking about.

Rogue has 2 of the best decks in the game next to Druid. That’s just a fact but they are both very difficult decks to play.

No you don’t
At least not on any rank that matters
I’m on legend and imbue paladin regularly goes the distance and wins easily against control warrior
I’m playing in Legend as well and i am beating the ones i see. I’m mostly playing against Rogues and the the rest Druids. Yes i beat them. I’m also playing a highly aggressive Control Warrior. Enough so that when the Mages were still popular i ate them up.

You would not believe how many will mess up that deck or the asteroid one. I feel like the asteroid one is much harder to play optimally. Jalexander is really good with it though.
I actually detest him as well but i’ll give him his props on being a top Rogue player.
Mine. I am 6-1 VS paladins this week. This is a 3x legend deck. I have updated the list with newer cards but the chassis is largely the same. Mommy put baby paladin down for nappies. No healy juice or om’nom cookies.

Note: I dislike Dig for Treasure, experimented with Raiding Party and would love a second Lucky Comet. However there are times you can stall out with this deck. I don’t know what to do with this slot.

Thanks for the suggestions but I detest the rogue playstyle almost as much as I do imbue paladin at the moment. I guess I’m just gonna have to wait until imbue paladin gets another balance change.
Control DK is like a 10-0 in DK’s favor. It is pretty much unwinnable for pally.

I think the big problems with imbue paladin is a mix of them having class cards that allow them to imbue quickly, like the 3 drop that battlecries AND deathrattles imbue, and just how easily they can tutor and draw the dragons out. Faced a paladin earlier that was already drawing 8 mana dragons on turn 4. Kind of nuts.

Is it, though? According to HSGuru stats, it definitely falls off at Top 1k. But it’s still only the 15th best deck at Top 5k. And in the D4-1 ranks, it’s 14th best. Seems kind of mediocre to me. But I suppose calling it “good” is reasonable – i.e. it’s not “bad”.

What control DK are you talking about exactly?
