Hi guys,

I would like to guide you how to build a good handbuff paladin that not require a lot of dust. Legendary cards is not required but you can get them for free while playing this build.

This build is focused on 3 things. 

First, The handbuff cards which are the deck's core. They are Smuggler's Run, Grimestreet Outfitter, Grimestreet Enforcer and Doppelgangster. You will not able to play a good handbuff paladin without these cards.

Second, The minions that give you another card will make the deck to be more effective. A Good handbuff Paladin needs a lot of minion on your hand while you playing a buff card. The more minions on your hand,the more benefit you get from the buff. That's why I put 26 minions into the deck. Furthermore , cards with draw ability will keep your hand full and help you dig down your deck to the buffs. Plus some extra reinforcement from discover ability when you play Grimestreet Informant or Stonehill Defender. Discover ability might provide you an extremely powerful cards or even cards from other classes. This will surprise your opponent by  unexpected cards.  Don't worry about lacking of spells. You will discover suitable spell from discover ability of Grimestreet Informant and Hydrologist. 

Last, The minions with taunt ability. Handbuff Paladin needs several turns to buff their hand. The best way to survive long enough without spells is using taunt minions. I decided to put Tar Creeper, Stonehill Defender and Sunfury Protector in the deck. The first one you should play is Stonehill Defender because you will get another taunt minion waiting for the next buff and you will be able to make a plan if you got a good legendary card like Tirion Fordring or Sunkeeper Tarim or Wickerflame Burnbristle from discover abilities. 

How to play

The strategy on turn 1-3 is just play a card with draw or discover, so you will get another card ready for buff. Once you get enough number of cards , Play Smuggler's Run and Grimestreet Outfitter to buff your hand. Play buffed minions if needed. Be careful for AOE spells from your opponent.  Make sure you have Taunt minions standing on the board while you play Grimestreet Enforcer, so he will buff your hand multiple times. 

This deck may not be the best , but it good enough to play in rank mode, especially for new players.
