Mulligans
This is an extremely synergistic deck, almost all of the cards in it interact with each other in some way or another, if you can, you are going to want to hoard up recruits until you can drop your stegodons, and almost all of the adapt options are great, +3 attack provides up to a 24 damage OTK combo if your opponent has no taunts, poisonous is an instant board clear against any board, no matter how big, medium or small, in addition, Cult Master and Lay on Hands provide a reload, but Cult Master in particular is the strongest card draw this deck has due to the sheer amount of small minions you summon with this deck, Stonehill is basically an auto include in paladin decks, and this list is no different, allowing you to pull out an extra Tirion, Wickerflame, or a Sunkeeper, or potentially reloading with another Stonehill, rarely will you get a bad option with Stonehill, this deck only runs a single Hydrologist due to the insane amount of crabs running around the ladder, but we still use 1 because its just so good, but what really makes this deck stand out is the insane amount of control, taunts to go around, healing, board clears, weapons, i even made room for an equality/consecration, if you can shut off the other player’s board, especially if they are an aggro deck that runs out of cards quickly like Pirate Warrior and Midrange Hunter, which coincidentally happen to be the other tier 1 decks right now, you can lock down the game almost immediately with a stand against darkness/stegodon combo, against Pirate Warriors, you really want to emphasize getting down your taunt minions ASAP, you can afford to take some early damage from them because you have so many powerful heals like forbidden healing and ragnaros that it doesn’t matter how much damage they can put through at any given time, if you find a position where you can completely shut off their momentum, run them dry of resources, and heal yourself to a reasonable life total so you stop them from potentially just bursting you down with mortal strikes and other direct damage, before setting yourself up with a decent board, you will outright win the game against them
