Pure Paladin Deck Mulligan Guide

Pure Paladin is a Midrange deck that relies largely on board control. You should mulligan for a smooth opening curve to get onto the board as quickly as possible.

  • Mulligan Against AggroConsecration.
  • Mulligan Against ControlLightforged Crusader, Lothraxion the Redeemed.

Pure Paladin Deck Strategy

Your aim when playing Pure Paladin should be to efficiently play your minions in the strongest curve possible. The stat-efficient minions in the deck make it easy to contest the board, however, if you fall behind, there are a few comeback tools in the form of Consecration and Lightforged Zealot. When you feel comfortable to do so, you should try to fit Aldor Attendant and Aldor Truthseeker into your turns to discount your Librams and significantly boost the tempo of your future turns, with the notable potential to make your Libram of Wisdom free to play. Should you begin to run out of cards before you can close out the game, the deck's special card, Lightforged Crusader, provides a massive 5-card reload to keep on fighting.

Against Aggro, you should be very cautious about the deck's lack of removal tools and ensure you take value trades at every opportunity to help stay in control of the board. Over time, you will comfortably outvalue your opponent due to Lightforged Crusader.

Against Control, you should try to get the most value out of your cards. The easiest way to do this is to discount your Librams by at least 2, allowing you to play your Libram of Wisdom for free whenever it is in your hand. This will advantage will pay off massively when you play Lady Liadrin, providing you with a hand full of Librams to buff your minions each turn, making even your Silver Hand Recruits a threat to your opponent.
