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!

Update: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/931869-updated-budget-elemental-midrange-paladin
I've been playing this deck for 30 games now with a 70% winrate. For the first 20 or so games I had a 75% with Grimestreet Protector then I drew the DK hero from a pack and replaced it. The main decks I have trouble with are Aggro decks and Combo decks (Mainly Exodia). Of the 9 games I lost 4 were to aggro decks with jnsane starts, 2 were to midrane Hunter and 2 were to Exodia.
Overall my winrate vs Aggro is: 20% (1-4)
vs Midrange Control Combo is: 80% (20-5)
I was wondering what you would suggest to add?
I was thinking Wild Pyromancer or Primordial Drake to stop the aggresion. Wild Pyromancer increases the chance of me getting a combo with Equality as that is what I often lack.
I added a Skulking Geist but couldn't manage to draw it from my deck when facing a Jade Druid :\ and then I lost to a DK Warlock. Third time, smacked down a DK Mage :)
Also, are there any upgrades you can recommend?
Tirion, Rag, Tarim, LK, Wild Pyromancer, Gluttonous Ooze, the usual Midrange Paladin value cards.
Needed a Paladin deck for a 5 win quest and this one seemed to fit in perfect with my collection so i gave it a try.
Surprisingly it performed pretty well.
I didn't keep track of my winrate, but i think it was above 50%.
Did notice some things while playing it.
I often had way to many cards in hand and more then once managed to overdraw.
Early game i regularly got a bunch of high cost cards i couldn't play and then ended up with a full hand and still a lot of card draw, so maybe the deck could do with a bit less draw.
Especially the Igneous Elemental was annoying, so maybe its better replaced with Fire Fly to get some more control over drawing the extra card.
Would also make it less painfull to play against a mirror entity secret when playing mage as i did give DK mage one and that sure helped him a bit, even when i still won that game.
But all in all, this deck did its job and i finished the quest while trying out that DK i got despite not owning any of the other recent Paladin legendaries.
I liked it.
This deck is garbage.
been playing hearthstone for 3 years... 100 packs into this expansion and STILL cant afford a single goddamn deck that is BUDGET!
Thank you, great deck
I -1 Bonemare for +1 The Lich King and will consider -1 Acolyte of Pain for Skulking Geist Vs Jade if they give me grief.
Draw is great in this deck, Amazing if you get coin but the lack of 1 drop is a concern,
budget?
Other guy said me yes, and replace stampeding kodo with something else because its useless without fishing it
Can I substitute Uther of the Ebon Blade with Tirion Fordring ?
BTW so far I think the deck is awesome
That's what I did, and I replaced Curator with Rag because I didn't buy the adventure. Also replaced Kodo because no fishing with The Curator.
Pretty good deck, i have made some changes to it, what do you guys think . http://imgur.com/OPVJM8k
How is this going for you? I have all those cards was considering mimicking
Went pretty well, played about 15 games and lost about 4
Really solid fun deck, it fairs well against any matchup and it's really fun !!
when ever i play this agg ro agg ro aggro counter aggro 0 win 30 lose
A 10 year old would make a better sentence
Maybe he is ten?
Can i replace the curator with tirion?
