Mulligans
General Mulligans
Drygulch and Mountain Giant give you the best start possible with this deck (especially with coin). Hero Power on 1, Drygulch on 2 (he must die), turn 3 Mountain Giant. Hydrologist is a solid 2 drop who helps maintain hand size.
Aggro Mulligans
Against aggro jailor and giants won't help you survive. Hydrologist and Argent Protectors give you board presence while Pyromancers help with removal. Once you get to turn four Saronite Chain Gang, Consecration, and Truesilver Champion help you keep you alive. The most important thing is board presence, once you drop the big guys the opponent will have a hard time dealing with them.
Control Mulligans
The deck has a lot of problems dealing with control decks. You need to beat them down before their big removal spell turns which is especially hard as this deck really gets going after turn 4. Against Quest Priest you need to kill them before Amara, once they heal up to 40 it'll be almost impossible to take them down. Also, watch out for psychic screams. Against big spell mage Jaina is your number one problem. Just like Amara once Jaina comes out it becomes almost impossible to bring them down.So, at first glance, the deck might seem all over the place. However, everything has a reason for being in this deck. This deck can potentially play mountain giant on turn 3, (Hero power on 1, dry gulch on 2 [it must die], a giant on 3. and even if you don’t or can’t the deck is still powerful enough to hold its own. Some dude paladin synergies with Tarim, Crystal Lions, and Stegodons. The whole reason for dragons is that twilight drake loves big hand sizes (just like the giants) and that Scaleworm helps a lot with removal (paladin lacks good single removal cards). Rebuke is to make it harder for your opponent to use hard removal against your big threats.
*UPDATE*
Removed the dragon package for 2 Saronite Chain Gang, 2 Argent Protector, and 2 Sea Giants.
