I'm running a lightly budgeted version of midrange pally and I don't have Curator, Tirion, or Tarim. I've replaced Tirion with Vinecleaver and Tarim with Grimestreet Protector, but I can't find a good card draw sub for Curator. Any ideas?
EDIT: I'm looking for a big card draw replacement, some people are confused.
Closest would be Wrathion I guess, but that doesn't really solve your problem unless you already have him...
shit azure drake and sludge belcher are wild...I think your best bet is either lay on hands as previously suggested, bloodmage thalnos if you own him already, or I guess acolyte of pain. Although all three of those are really sub par compared to the curator.
Bog Creeper? I mean if you are lacking both the draw and the taunt it is almost imposible to replace, but as a taunt Bog Creeper is good and it will force a response of some kind.
You should have some kind of draw already in the deck coupled with discovered secrets and stone hill defenders it should be enough, but if you are lacking draw and find your self without cards then focus on replacing the draw with Lay of Hands or some early game option you don't already have.

You can't run a budgeted version of midrange pally. Sorry to be that guy, but it's the truth.
Instead of searching for replacements, better set a brand new base for a deck. Try Elementals for instance.

As a midrange pally player I can say all 3 of thr cards you just named as not having win me the game half of the time at least.

Of course you can, you just need to be creative with replacements. I don't have Tarim yet I play Midrange Paladin fine. He didn't say he wanted to use the deck for top Legend or Tournament play, he just asked for replacements...
As for the replacements well it could be easier to help you if you let us see your list. Even Vinecleaver and Grimestreet Protector don't seem that great as replacements.
Replacing a card by looking to provide similar effects isn't really ideal. Making a brand new deck trying to do what a well known and much played deck is doing, is quite feasible. Now, asking for a Curator replacement in a deck that it usually draws it 3 cards and puts down a 4/6 taunt, as you should know, isn't really making sense.

Without seeing the list, I think if you keep Vinecleaver you could make a Dude-centric build and do alright. Steward of Darkshire and Lightforged Stegadon can probably get a lot of work done. :)
Stonehill Defender could farm you a Tarim or Tirion a decent amount of the time, so running 2 of those should help even things out. If you're looking for pure card draw Lay on Hands is decent, but there's also always Acolyte who was run in the older LoE lists as well. I'm not sold on Grimestreet Protector to be honest, but it's not a terrible pick and maybe it's performing decently to keep in for the time being.

Missing the curator isn't a huge upset. Missing Tirion, Tarim, and curator is a massive decrease in both the strength and consistency of the deck, almost removing its identity as a midrange paladin.
Well, it's working fine so far. I've had to do sub-optimal replacements for better mulligan chances but it's gotten me from rank 17 to rank 13 in one day and the next I was at rank 12 (last night). I'm just looking for anything similar in card draw amounts.
1x Vinecleaver instead of Tirion (weapon w/ value)
1x Grimestreet instead of Tarim (taunt + buff)
1x Acolyte instead of Curator (draw)
1x Acidic Ooze instead of Drake (lots of weapons on ladder)
1x Grimscale Chum instead of Inquisitor (better mulligan)
This is what I'm aiming for: http://i.imgur.com/wpQuITJ.png Pretty much Zananananan's list except replacing Finja with an extra Equality for better control.
EDIT: Just reached rank 11 with it! 2 more wins and I'll be at rank 10!
Lay on Hands is better than Ragnaros, Lightlord, rag usally dies the turn you play him or the next, so lay on hands giving you the 8 heal + 3 card draw is far better.
Except lightlord actually requires a piece of removal, and Lay on Hands can be Counterspelled or Mana Binded whereas lightlord needs to be killed and it's far easier to play around Mirror Entity. Makes lightlord much better against not just secret mage but aggro decks in general.
As for OP, if you're looking for card draw then I suppose Lay on Hands is a decent replacement.

Replacing 1 card is ok, but if you are missing 3 key cards, I would just play another deck. I feel like playing a bit worse deck, but with all necessary cards is better than playing better deck, but without some key cards.
Lay on Hands is better than Ragnaros, Lightlord, rag usally dies the turn you play him or the next, so lay on hands giving you the 8 heal + 3 card draw is better in my opinion.
Ragnaros is a way to win the game, and most of the times he will heal you or something on your board more than once. Lay on Hands is a bad card, since it requires you to be ahead on the board since you effectively skip a turn to heal and draw, meaning that there is no threat on the board and that you will probably won't even play a card that turn.

I'm very confused because that link goes to a list with Tirion, Tarim, the Curator and no Finja. Are you saying you're using that list but cut an Equality to add in a Finja?
I mean ultimately, when you're trying to replace 10% of a deck and in some ways a very important 10% you might seriously consider a different style deck. If it's working for you and you're having fun that's awesome and keep doing what you're doing, but I wouldn't really phrase it was "what to replace [X] with?" when you're not really running the deck to begin with.
In a vacuum I'd say the cards I'd probably consider subbing in for Curator are Primordial DrakeLay on Hands or Divine Favor depending on what the rest of your deck looks like. If you're a little more low-to-the-ground than the more controlling paladin I'd say Divine Favor is going to be the draw 2-4 you're looking for at a reduced cost, albeit without the significant body or the targeted draw effect. If you're trying to stay more controlling I'd say you probably want either LoH or the Drake and that decision is based more on "Do I need late game draw?" or "Do I need late game fat bodied taunt?".

I meant I was using Zananananan's list as a base to build on. By taking away Finja and putting in a second Equality, I made it my own and that's what I'm going for if I get enough dust. Also thanks for the help, and to answer the question I'm needing more draw, so LoH is going to be best.
You have to decide what part of Curator you want to replace in your deck. Curator is usually a 4/6 taunt that draws you 2-3 cards. If you want the board presence, you can replicate it with Sunwalker, if you want the card draw you can replicate it with Lay on Hands. If you want to replicate both, better save some dust.

Lay on Hands maybe?
With replacements like those, you might as well use a loot hoarder to replace the curator.
