Best Paladin Standard Decks - Violet Hold Meta Guide

Paladin thrives on going wide and buffing tall, and the best Paladin decks in the Violet Hold meta swing between explosive aggro that floods the board and value-driven builds that grind opponents down with Holy payoffs. Few classes convert a board lead into a win as reliably, which keeps Paladin a fixture of the Standard ladder. This guide gathers the archetypes doing it best right now.

Below you'll find the top Paladin decklists of the expansion, each with an up-to-date win rate, a copyable decklist, and the mulligan advice and deck guides you need to snowball a lead. We keep these picks current as the ranked meta shifts, so you're always building with a winning list.
