Ceremonial Maul is an interesting card, and one I feel deserves a spot in Libram Paladin Lists. The best case scenario is obviously pairing it with Libram of Hope, but even getting a 2/2 taunt with Hand of A'dal or a 3/3 with Call to Adventure is still a minion that is slowing your opponent down, allowing you more time to get to your power turns.

High Abbess Alura is obviously the star of the show, allowing you to cheat out massive stats as quickly as turn 4/5. Lord Barov was a consideration in the deck for sure, but running it would either mean having to dilute the pool of good spells for High Abbess Alura to cast adding in cards like Consecration or adding in a card like Wild Pyromancer and giving up the Pure Paladin aspect of the deck, changes I feel would hurt the overall consistency of the deck.
