Any combination of these cards in your starting hand will help you out immensely with setting up the early game.
After then every card you draw should be useful regardless.
With some match ups having the board-clear combo in hand might proof more useful, so if you have one copy of either Equality or Consecration, you could try to get the other piece. Not optimal in most cases though.
The Silencing Lady (Using lady liadra)
Just an easy and cheap paladin deck.
The name refers to the 2x Spellbreaker + 2x Ironbeak Owl which are used to negate powerful effect-minions and most importantly deal with TAUNT creatures.
Other than that this deck revolves around summoning battlecry minions that summon multiple creatures to combo them up with Sword of Justice and/or Silver Sword to gain big board advantage in the blink of an eye.
As such an ideal starting hand of this deck would consist of:
1. Sword of Justice
2. Stonehill Defender or Saronite Chain Gang
3. Righteous Protector
Useful synergies in this deck:
Sword of Justice with:
1. Saronite Chain Gang
2. Green Jelly
3. Silver Hand Knight
4. Giggling Inventor
Ebon Dragonsmith to get an earlier Silver Sword or a very cheap Sword of Justice
A turn 7 Giggling Inventor followed by a turn 8 Silver Sword can be incredibly powerful.
Removal and Board clear:
The only two spells this deck carries to board clear are:
Equality and Consecration
The ideal play to get out of sticky situations would be at turn 6 or later, when you can play them together. However they are still powerful alone.
Even though the next minions aren’t strictly removal, you should consider using them like they are just that:
2xAldor Peacekeeper Use these guys to help out your taunt minions to take more hits and keep board presence!
2xIronbeak Owl and 2xSpellbreaker as discussed at the start, use them to remove powerful effect-minions or remove taunt so your other minions can continue to go face.
Weapons:
The weapons included in this deck are your “win” conditions.
2x Sword of Justice Dominate early (preferred) or late (if you didn’t draw it early)
2x Silver Sword If everything went well this card wins you the game everytime you play it!
2x Ebon Dragonsmith Not a weapon, but hey.
Comments:
This deck is currently consistently winning me match ups around rank 17.
Since this deck in its current version does cost a hefty 2680 dust, I am aware it’s borderline budget.
However, this deck does consist out of alot of staples like Stonehill Defender , Ironbeak Owl , Saronite Chain Gang and Giggling Inventor ,
which are useful in alot of other decks as well. And with Sword of Justice being the only epic on the list, and not including any legendaries whatsoever, it’s reasonably easy to craft.
