This deck aims to survive against the flood of Demon Hunters by running a large amount of wide board removal and control tools. Libram of Wisdom can easily be discounted down to 0, which combos with Wild Pyromancer (to clear the board) and Kael'thas Sunstrider (to play your large spells).
How does this win vs any control-deck?
It outlasts them. I'm predicting that this will be a very aggro and midrange heavy meta and this deck is designed to combat those strategies.
Finally something other than pure Paladin.
I also really like you didnt put in blindly Liadrin like the others. ( Altho this makes Pharaos blessing a bit weird, there is some anti synergy with Pyromancer) If the meta is super aggro and full of Deamonhunters i have serious doubts people can play a 7 mana 4/6 do nothing on the board... If Libram of hope wasnt enough vs aggro, then you are either dead or the Libram did the trick and you won anyways, So thats why i also excluded her.
The lure of pure cards is significant, but I think that Pyromancer + free librams is too nuts to forego. The Pharaoh's Blessing may seem weird, but it is designed to capitalize on Kael'thas if you already control the board--if you play Kael'thas + Desperate Measures x2, you get an 8/11 taunt divine shield with two random secrets that sets up damage next turn or forces them to deal with it directly. This saps their removal pool for when you play your Libram of Hope.
I agree about Liadrin. She would be good in a REALLY grindy matchup where you constantly need resources, but it is a win-more card in every other matchup that I think is a bit of a trap for players who remember how crazy Lynessa Sunsorrow could get.
