Mulligan Guide

General

Generally you want to draw your cards which draw more cards so you're looking for:

[card_link name="Hydrologist"] - just one as you want curator to draw one later.

[card_link name="Stonehill Defender"] - Great to grab a flex card or another Tirion.

[card_link name="Truesilver Champion"] - This card is rarely denied value.

[card_link name="Elise the Trailblazer"] - If you can get this card off early you'll enjoy the value earlier of course.

Vs. Aggro

You need to control the board early-game to survive to your healing cards late-game.

[card_link name="Wild Pyromancer"] - This card is almost a must to be comboed with secrets from [card_link name="Hydrologist"], [card_link name="The Coin"], or with [card_link name="Equality"].

[card_link name="Stonehill Defender"] - This card is also a must against aggro as you'll need the taunt to protect your health and to generate more taunts.

[card_link name="Wickerflame Burnbristle"] - This card shines against aggro decks.  Combine with [card_link name="Redemption"] from [card_link name="Hydrologist"] for more value.

[card_link name="Truesilver Champion"] - You'll need this against most aggro decks to heal and clear.

[card_link name="Doomsayer"] - This card is also excellent early against aggro.

Vs. Control

Make sure to generate value from your value cards but don't draw from your deck unless it's absolutely necessary.  This deck can easily take control decks to fatigue so you don't want to overdraw.  

Note: Against Taunt Warrior you need to tempo out and pressure them before they can generate value from the quest. However, be careful not to overextend into brawl.

Try and play [card_link name="Elise the Trailblazer"] as early as possible for value.

Deck Description

A control/fatigue style Paladin deck which goes for maximum value into late game. I don't enjoy playing aggro and so designing a control deck that can compete in an aggro meta is a challenge but one that I think that this deck can pull off.

Against aggro, board clears and early taunts control into late game heals. Against control, value into late game can be overwhelming to an opponent as you play large taunts over and over again.

Wickerflame Burnbristle can be replaced with Tar Creeper.

Harrison Jones can be replaced with Acidic Swamp Ooze or Gluttonous Ooze .

Elise the Trailblazer can be replaced with anything but late game against Priest/Control Paladin may suffer as a result. If the meta is primarily aggro then replacing this card with more defense (such as a Tar Creeper) is recommended.

The Curator is great for drawing into Stampeding Kodo and Hydrologist .

Make sure to save your Wild Pyromancer + Equality (+ Dirty Rat ) combo for truly opportune times as throwing them away too early can see you become overwhelmed.

    Needs more Spikeridged Steed. That card is an absolutely fantastic value, especially since Silence and morph effects aren't present in a majority of the current meta decks. I'd cut Harrison and an Ivory Knight for a pair of the dino-ponies.

      I cut the Harrison for a Black Knight, I think the amount of Taunt at the moment far out weighs the weapons... Not just in warrior either...

        I approve. Black knight worked out better for me. I've also switched Lay on hands for a Tar creeper. For rush i find it to slow, and in control matchups i really don't want alle the card draw. Out of 20 games i barely used it. I've also considered Spikeridged steed, Barnes and Forbidden Healing in this spot. Any other tip for replacement is appriciated.

    Primordial Drake?
