Welcome to the Hearthstone realm!
*UPDATED FOR BALANCE CHANGES ON MAY 18*
Intro:
Hey everyone! My name is Funki Monki and all I do is create meta breaking (hopefully) off meta decks! Today I'm bringing you a community favorite - Libram Paladin! I've seen this deck being played in so many different ways, but nothing seems to be working for people so I went back to the drawing board and refined and refined the archetype until I ended up with this list! This list has brought me to Diamond 6 with a 62% WR (and then I started meme-ing with other decks).
Proof:
A few points I wanted to mention while building/playing this archetype:
- going Pure Paladin is not good simply because you lose out on too many good neutrals like Wild Pyromancer, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Novice Engineer and your win conditions of Exotic Mountseller and Replicat-o-tron. Pure Paladin doesn't have enough win conditions without these.
- Cycling cards are crucial, like Novice Engineer, Hand of A'dal, Hammer of Wrath. Because this deck is very combo oriented (need to draw BOTH your librams AND your discounters, your board clears are 2+ card combos of Libram of Justice and Consecration/Wild Pyromancer) you need to be able to draw your combo pieces.
- This deck has insane late game value with Librams so lots of healing is a must. In here we have the Wild Pyromancer + Lightforged Blessing combo.
- Be VERY sparing with your board clears and only use them when absolutely necessary. There is TONS of healing in this deck so take a few hits to the face and make your opponent over commit. Your hard board clear of Libram of Justice + Wild Pyromancer or Consecration is hard to come by and probably won't draw that 2 card combo again for awhile.
Mulligan:
Always Keep - Aldor Attendant, Hand of A'dal, Libram of Wisdom, Novice Engineer, Wild Pyromancer, Bronze Explorer
Sometimes Keep - Acidic Swamp Ooze (against DH, Hunter, Warrior, Rogue), Lightforged Blessing (against DH, Hunter, Warrior), Consecration (against DH)

Thoughts on the exclusion of Murgur Murgurgle? The card contests the early board, and can be a win con by itself when played on curve. The card itself doesn't need to be supported by other cards.
Is Replicat-o-tron replaceable? If yes, which card would you suggest?
Murgur Murgurgle isn't bad, but not really needed either. We don't really care too much about the early game because we have over 30+ healing in this deck to stablize through the midgame. As far as late game threats we already have Exotic Mountseller, Libram of Hope, Replicat-o-tron, etc so we don't need another one with Murgurgle Prime. If you wanted to try him out I would replace a Replicat-o-tron or Exotic Mountseller.
Thanks for the response.
Tried it out, but replaced cards that I did't have.
Removed Replicat-o-tron x 2 and Maiev Shadowsong.
Added 2nd Call to Adventure, 2nd Amber Watcher, and Murgur Murgurgle
Not tier 1, but significantly better with buffs.
The ability to tutor out Aldor Attendant is huge.
Having 6 chances to draw out the libram discounts makes it more consistent.
