So as some of you may know, I have been grinding away at paladin for a little under a month now. I've tried pretty much all of his strategies except dragon. I've been testing this a deck a lot recently and it seems to be pretty good.

So the basic concept is fairly similar to Coshade's priest. Cast temple if they don't rush you, or go SWAT is they do.
Typical Opening
T1: Monk Flower
T2: Cass + some 2 mana spell
T3: Temple + some 2 mana spell
Vs Rush opening
T1: Monk Flower
T2: (Vs siren, red helm, other wise generually knight of westlock, guarding angel, or gray angel + something defensive.)
T3: Match them by smashing their threats
Rush opening (only use this vs necro's, but see what they do first)
T1: Double Move Ballista
T2; Knight of Westlock + offensive enchant
T3: Smash the graveyard/mage/undead
Card Choices:
Song of Love: highly underated card, good for protecting the heavy hitters
Cards I want/ am considering:
Divine might: to counter Mind's Eye
Upgrading the force push to a force wave: to get even more value out of Pillar
Ehren/Brogan: I feel as the deck stands atm, ehren would not be supported properly to maximize his value. Brogan is great in certain situations, but is not very good in others so I'm not sure.
I hope you enjoy the brief read (sry I can't say too much more, not the best at communicating these sorts of things).
Notes: I am a bit unsure about the bow and and I will likely remove the mouring star or the vorpal blade. I am currently testing both and seeing which I like better.
