First of all, Paladin is the class which is the most difficult to budgetize. It has a lot of auto-include legendary cards like Tirion Fordring or Ragnaros, Lightlord. As new player it hurts to get a nice expensive card without the possibility to make a deck for it. I'm in the same situation except that I'm not new, I just have a smaller collection. That is the reason why I made this deck, and decided to post it to help others out.
As you can see I used the elemental package. Elementals are cheap and work quite well in Paladin with the possibility to discover Ragnaros, Lightlord from Servant of Kalimos multiple times. You can discover some good class taunts from Stonehill Defender too. Why Bonemare? Because it's the most OP thing you get for 40 dust. The end.
If you don't have Karazhan:
-1x The Curator +1x Grimestreet Protector
If you don't have Uther of the Ebon Blade but still want to play this deck:
-1x Uther of the Ebon Blade +1x Grimestreet Protector
Strategy:
Aggro
Taunting and board control is your win condition here. Most aggro decks need to be tired out in order to win against them, except for Murloc Paladin. You need to get out there stuff on the board until their hand is empty, then use Equality + Consecration to get rid of their murlocs. If you can't clear their board you have no chance to survive.
Tempo/Midrange
Three simple words: CLEAR THE BOARD. That's their weakness. After you clear their board there is no escape for them. Develop your own side and buff your minions in order to win.
Control
The control matchup is about value. The more Tirions you discover, the more you win /s. Rely on your buff cards such as Bonemare. Try to discover good things from Stonehill Defender and try to get Ragnaros, Lightlord from Servant of Kalimos to stay alive. Clear the board in the meantime. Uther of the Ebon Blade may help you reset your health and deal some face damage in the meantime. Control the board too. You will need to outvalue control in order to win.
Jades
Jade Druid is the archetype that I've been having the most problems with. However, with the help of some board control and taunts I could recover easily. Also I haven't tried, but Skulking Geist could help in this matchup.
Thank you for all the patience and upvotes! Hope you enjoy the deck!

I have Tyrion
but i should swap him with what?
Motion to name this deck Uther of the Elem Blade
Nice deck to base things on, I have a good selection of cards but I don't ever have the 10x legendaries that many top tier decks require.
I recommend adding the cards you do have to this deck for instance I happen to have [card]Tirion Fordring[/card] who works very well!
What card did you replace?
Aldor Peacekeeper
Acolyte of Pain is the weirdest popular card. I've never found it useful in my entire career. You get what, on average? One card draw? And then you wasted a draw drawing the Acolyte and the mana to play it. And when you do draw it there's always a card in your deck that would have been better to pull that turn. I've never in my life drawn Acolyte of Pain and thought "Yes!" My advice, swap it for nearly anything else. Chillwind Yeti is a better card. Personally I went for a Spellbreaker and a Chillblade Champion
Really? Explain! I'd love to know why everyone finds him so good. He seems so useless to me.
"BestHearthstoneGamer" Lol.
You must know something that we all ignore...
I really love this deck, i'm having so much fun, and i'm winning more matchs than i expected thanks to this deck, finally my dk uther has an use, but i think that this deck needs Skulking Geist so i put 1 instead of Stampeding Kodo
Amazing deck! Thank you.
Do we need to focus on 4 horseman? or just buff the minions
Bad versus aggro, bad versus tempo, maybe versus control... Only good versus mirror match xDDD Terribly slow, lack of removals... poor deck, definitively. Maybe it's already outdated. Can't understand how this deck reached 266 upvotes. X-files... 0_0
1x Acolyte of Pain for Spellbreaker and 1x Grimestreet Outfitter for Wild Pyromancer mb.
If I have Tirion, who would I remove from this list to add him instead?
Should I then add 'Howling Commander' as a way to draw him? Who should I replace him by? Any other suggestions? With taunt divine shield, would corpsetaker be good?
I just lost a match against Jade Druid where his life was so low and the match dragged for so long that he started shuffling the Idols. A Geist would have killed him right there, I still had Rag and Tirion in hand so I could last for a few turns while Fatigue killed him, so yeah, Geist is a good idea.
Is this a standard or wild deck?
Standard
in casual all I'm going against are face decks. This deck just can't keep up. Even priest control owns this deck. WTF
7 losses in a row. playing against all netdecks.
Casual mode can be more crazy than Wild sometimes...not a fair test of the deck IMO.
