Hi Everyone!  Well I hit Legend this month with this version of BIG Paladin - from Diamond 7 w/ 9x.  Kangor, Dancing King improved the deck quite a bit.  That other weapon was too slow.  Honestly, this deck feels tier 3 at best, so Craft At Your Own Risk.  

In general this deck is easy to pilot.  But like most, there are nuances that'll improve your win rate.  You want to play the weapon early.  Maybe a Service Bell to find either Prismatic Lens or Duel!.  Then play one of those as soon as you can.  Time Out! is really good in this deck to help you survive.  Sometimes I'll play it on turn 3 against aggro.  

Mulligan:

I'm always keeping Sword of the Fallen, Service Bell, Prismatic Lens, and Duel!.  Sometimes I'll keep Equality but I'm not sure that's correct.  Also, I'm not sure about Kangor, Dancing King, but I wouldn't keep him against aggro.

Card Choices:

The secrets I've included are great.  You don't want Noble Sacrifice, because it doesn't work well with RedemptionAutodefense Matrix feels underrated.  That secret can really frustrate your opponents.  Galloping Savior feels good too, even though it doesn't feel great off Redemption.  I think it's still worth it.

I chose these minions specifically for this deck.  I wasn't sure about Shirvallah, the Tiger, but the healing helps, and often you can play him for 0 mana off Prismatic Lens

I went back and forth on Colossus of the Moon, but I kept him in for this whole run.  Too many times I have a Flesh Behemoth on the board with a Redemption, which then summons a 2nd Flesh Behemoth.  Then the 2nd Flesh Behemoth doesn't pull anything from my deck because there are none left.  Running Colossus of the Moon helps that situation.  The downside is it doesn't give you a taunt if you need it.  I've found the good outweighs the bad here.  Many times my opponent just quits when they see that card.  But you could certainly try the deck w/o it.

Thaddius, Monstrosity is the MVP imo.   When he's on the board, you can often do some ridiculous plays.  

Obviously, Kangor, Dancing King helps you get big minions out of your hand.  If you get a 2nd one from Redemption, you can go infinite.  

Equality and City Tax are the last 2 cards in the deck.  I'm not sure either one belongs.  At times Equality can be good early to help against aggro.  

That's it for now.  Good Luck out there!
