first paladin attempt

...even if a bit slow in start but hey it's a holy mage when in hell u see a fast holy mage?

Well my Paladin is beating face with 2x Red Helms each with Knights Courage on turn 3...

Sounds very all in to me. Faster does not mean better with Kanedio's book.I like the changes btw Kanedio. I hope to meet you again on OCTGN in the future I'll bring a non-Paladin this time

It can play several ways (the all-in method doesn't need many spell points, and uses much the same cards in a different order).

I am favouring the all-in method and very quick kill with Paladin though - it's the thing he does better than anyone comparable. For a longer slower match I'm still preferring Priestess...

It is creature light for a Holy Mage in my opinion.  I generally run with 40 spell point in creature spells for Holy mages myself.  I like the Noble Vanguard, it is good for dealing a blow and then taking the blow meant for your Mage, and it will likely survive for a while on Consecrated Ground.  I would also suggest considered a Guardian Angel which, combined with Consecrated Ground, tends to live halfway to forever, though it cannot be combined with Knight's Courage and is not Vigilant.
