Libram Paladin is of course not a tier 1 deck but it surely isn't as bad as everyone says it is! There are a lot of bad versions out there with a very low winrate but you should try this one!
Less controlly (and less bad card drawing cards) compared to the first pure paladin librams but more tempo/midrangy, which works a lot better! The card draw isn't a problem either. I haven't lost a single game against an enrage warrior and it's good against Demon Hunter too. Rogue and Priest are more difficult matchups but every game seems winable and the deck surely is fun to play!

Is Dragonrider Talritha necessary with so limited dragons?
I don't have Dragonrider Talritha or Lady Liadrin, but I am enjoying this deck a lot. My record with it is probably about 50-50 over 10 games at Diamond 5. Thanks for sharing this list!
Good to hear! What did you replace it with? I really didn't expect it but Lady Liadrin isn't even that important. Sometimes it's a game changer but most times it's just a dead card in your hand. I even play Lightforged Crusader more often because Lady Liadrin wouldn't give enough value (didn't play that many spells) at that time or too much (and I have only space for 5-6 cards in my hand).
I put a second Lightforged Crusader in, in place of Liadrin. And in the place of Talritha, I am using an Aldor Peacekeeper. Paladin was always my favorite class when I played WOW many moons ago (really ever since WC3 and Uther), and I really wish there was an archetype that could compete better in this meta. I play all the classes (most wins are hunter, warlock, mage), but I always wish there was a good reason to play more paladin! So far with this list I have been competitive with almost every opponent, but it feels the worst to lose to the Demon Hunters when you're just on the cusp of gaining the upper hand in terms of board control or tempo, and then they just hero power your face for 5 and drop Kayn Sunfury. But I'll keep playing the list because I've reached my ladder objective and I don't tilt easily :).
A few questions:
Is Dragonrider Talritha a good addition? You got 4 dragons in the deck. The chances of drawing and playing Talritha while having a dragon on hand is pretty low I think. Don't you think a second Underlight Angling Rod is a better tempo tool than a 3 mana 3/3 with a low chance of an upside?
What's your solution to bad hands when you don't have card draw? I remember trying a variant of pure libram when the expansion dropped but kept running on the problem of bad draws. I keep getting cards in the wrong order (librams without discounts or discounts without librams). It's especially annoying to draw Libram of Hope and Lightforged Crusader in my opening hand without an efficient way to find more cards. Against DH and other aggressive decks, it's a death sentence.
At first i thought Dragonrider Talritha wasn't viable in a deck with only 4 dragons but it works pretty good. Sometimes it's game winning if you also have a Bronze Explorer (2 or more dragons in one card) in hand but sometimes it's just a 3/3. I like to use the card but it's surely not the best (tempo) option.
Not sure another weapon is the best solution though. You got already 5 weapons with the Lightforged Zealot and although the 1/4 weapon of Libram of Justice is very bad sometimes you have to play it for the effect and destroy your other weapon. You can also use Micro Mummy or Aldor Peacekeeper as replacement. Even Sanctuary could be a nice option because most time you want the opponent to hit your face instead of your minions. I'm thinking about trying that one in the deck too.
It seems strange but most times at turn 7/8/9 i can't play a Lightforged Crusader because i still have too many cards in my hand. If you got a Libram of Hope and Lightforged Crusader in your opening hand you probably have a problem but isn't that the case with almost every deck? Even a Rogue or Demon Hunter have a big problem if they got 2 of their most expensive cards in their opening hand. The mulligan is pretty easy too, almost every card under 6 mana isn't so bad to keep in your hand depending on the opponent. An option could be to replace Pharaoh's Blessing for a lower mana card like the ones above.
For what it's worth... I just tried 2x Sanctuary in the deck against 2 rogues (which is the worst matchup) and a dragon hunter and won them all. And even more important, the Sanctuary was very awkward for the opponents. The first turns they didn't kill a minion they could kill to avoid the quest reward. Surely i'm gonna try to use this card some more! :)
I like what I see :)
What would you replace Underlight Angling Rod with? I don't have one, and I'm not tempted to craft it (saving my resources for a different deck, plus I hate Murlocs). I have everything else.
Micro Mummy is probably a good replacement (that's a card I don't have). Or Aldor Peacekeeper which I tried and just didn't make the cut. Another option is a 2nd Lightforged Crusader because you maybe need a bit more draw because you're missing the 2 murlocs of the weapon.
Underlight Angling Rod isn't that important. I only got one but I wouldn't use the 2nd one if i pack it. There are enough weapons in the deck already.
