Super Budget Paladin

This deck was really just made to see what could be done with just 1000 dust. I've not taken it higher that rank 15 myself (edit, just got to 13 yesterday) but for an entry level deck I thought it had some potential. I play a lot of decks against friends with the 1000dust limit and honestly, they are some of the more fun games that we play.

Update

First, thanks to everyone who has tried this deck and all the positive comments. I have been asked many times what could be done to upgrade this deck to make it more competitive, well as the whole premise of the original deck was to cost no more than 1000 dust, there were a lot of compromises made in the first place, so there are a lot of better cards that could be used. I have made a sort of 'interim' costing deck, which is just a slight 'upgrade' on the base deck by getting rid of a few of the 'not so good' base cards and replacing them with 'just better' versions, without trying to completely re-write the whole aim of the deck.

Here are the changes I made:

Removed:
Humility x 1
Guardian of Kings x 1
Glacial Shard  x 2
Igneous Elemental x 1
Shattered Sun Cleric x 2
Sen'jin Shieldmasta x 2

Added:
Equality x 1
Hydrologist x 2
Acolyte of Pain x 2
Aldor Peacekeeper x 2
Stampeding Kodo x 1
Grimestreet Protector x 1 OR (better) if you happen to have one Primordial Drake x 1

This adds about 520 extra dust to the overall cost but helps to balance out a few of the deck's main issues:-

Acolyte of Pain needed for card draw, sometimes severely lacking in the original deck.
Aldor Peacekeeper added as it can be one of Paladin's main advantages over minion based opponents, being able to effectively neutralise any large minion.
Stampeding Kodo the best answer to an opponents Doomsayer and an excellent answer to many taunts, especially when combined with Aldor Peacekeeper.
Hydrologist is not just a good 2 drop but also gives you the chance to get a Getaway Kodo for your Stonehill Defender, or an Eye for an Eye if you're playing against one of the many mages in the meta at the moment.
Grimestreet Protector is just a nice big taunt minion for the late-game and a good upgrade over the base Sen'jin Shieldmasta.

Thanks to Kiwiinbacon for the following showcase video of the original deck:

Please note that I am in no way a pro player, in fact, I rarely ever go above rank 10, mainly due to lack of time, but I am happy playing at the mid range level and have had great success with Paladin in the Un'goro meta.
