Intro:
Hey everyone! My name is Funki Monki and all I do is create meta breaking (hopefully) off meta decks! Today I'm bringing you a community favorite - Libram Paladin! I've seen this deck being played in so many different ways, but nothing seems to be working for people so I went back to the drawing board and refined and refined the archetype until I ended up with this list! This list has brought me to Diamond 6 with a 62% WR (and then I started meme-ing with other decks).
Proof:
A few points I wanted to mention while building/playing this archetype:
- going Pure Paladin is not good simply because you lose out on too many good neutrals like Wild Pyromancer, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Novice Engineer and your win conditions of Exotic Mountseller and Replicat-o-tron. Pure Paladin doesn't have enough win conditions without these.
- Cycling cards are crucial, like Novice Engineer, Hand of A'dal, Call to Adventure. Because this deck is very combo oriented (need to draw BOTH your librams AND your discounters, your board clears are 2+ card combos of Libram of Justice and Consecration/Wild Pyromancer) you need to be able to draw your combo pieces.
- This deck has insane late game value with Librams so lots of healing is a must. In here we have the Wild Pyromancer + Lightforged Blessing combo.
- Be VERY sparing with your board clears and only use them when absolutely necessary. There is TONS of healing in this deck so take a few hits to the face and make your opponent over commit. Your hard board clear of Libram of Justice + Wild Pyromancer or Consecration is hard to come by and probably won't draw that 2 card combo again for awhile.
Mulligan:
Always Keep - Aldor Attendant, Hand of A'dal, Libram of Wisdom, Novice Engineer, Wild Pyromancer, Bronze Explorer, Call to Adventure
Sometimes Keep - Acidic Swamp Ooze (against DH, Hunter, Warrior, Rogue), Lightforged Blessing (against DH, Hunter, Warrior), Consecration (against DH)
I hope you like this deck and, as always, if you have any questions or have a suggestion please comment below (I respond to all comments)!

My biggest issue (with this and pure paladin libram) is the mulligan. I am not getting close to 50% winrate, so maybe I'm missing something. Unless I get an Aldor Attendant in my opening hand it can easily be turn 4 before I can get anything to stick to the board, and by then it's way too late. What am I missing?
Update: Made a couple changes (removed both Replicat-o-tron, added a Sand Breath and Lightforged Blessing). With a better spell to minion ratio and a slightly lower mana curve I can much more reliably get the key combos with pyro and mountseller, and Liadrin gets me more variety of buffs. After the changes I'm getting closer to 65% winrate.
Thanks for the deck! I played HS a lot in the past but recently picked it back up after a couple years. I went from silver to platinum in around 2 days at around a 70% winrate. Great deck!
Maiev is required? I dont have Maiev and one replicator. I lost 10 games in a row. this deck doesn’t work for me, alas.</pre>
Thanks for sharing, definitely better than the libram deck I was running.
You can't win vs tempo DH anymore after the nerf. It was actually a bit of a buff in the sense that now tempo DH runs a better more streamlined deck with beaming sidekicks that put their stuff out of consecration range so you tend to just lose the game. they also won't let you establish a minion for hand of adal. In any event, DH just kills you before you can play a libram of hope and there is nothing you can do. The chances you even draw one before you are dead are slim since you are literally dead on turn 5/6 consistently. The deck is so fast they don't even bother with priestess. They often run double mana burn so that you can't even play libram of hope/amber watcher. The paladin deck is so predictable and fair and honest and bad that mana burn makes it obsolete (mana burn is a completely busted card in high legend).
I switched maiev for archmage vargoth and Ive been using it with librams of hope to get one for free If archmage puts the heal for friendlies then thats a plus if not you still end up with a extra 8/8 w/divine shield and itll count when you using lady liadrin so you get a bunch more librams of hopes
Don't play this deck if you want to lose so hard
Libram pallys so weak to rogue with saps and stunners. And most of decks u encounter above diamond 5 are rogues.
Yep, Rogues and Priest are the worst matchups for sure because of saps and silences. I would recommend to not go all in with your buffs at once and save a couple in your hand in case of a sap/silence.
thank u man.
you're welcome! :)
Even with the buffs, this deck is still absolute trash
It's hard to take you seriously when literally all of your comments you post on Hearthpwn are the same thing - "trash deck"
Even your username is toxic...
Wow you're not kidding... He even says Murloc Paladin is trash, and has an "80% loss rate"... Apparently he's just useless.
Lady liadrin is worthy .. second replicatotron is not a must.. replace it with reccurent villain or something
Recurring Villain is not actually that great in this deck. I've tested him quite a bit in earlier versions. At 4 attack he doesn't pressure control decks enough and without taunt or rush he doesn't impact the board enough to be good vs aggro.
5cost card.. ofcourse is hard for a bad matchup...but if u want a sticky board after u stabilise..he s your guy in this deck. I dont recomand this deck though.. pure libram pally is so much consistent
Its worth spend 2k dust in this decks ? I need Lady Liadrin and 1x Replicat-o-tron
I am currently rank around rank 1 with it from rank 4 from yesterday... It works for me
Lady Liadrin is a must but you could replace Replicat-o-tron with a Hammer of Wrath or a Murgur Murgurgle or Bloodmage Thalnos if you have them.
