Our Broom Paladin deck list guide features the best deck list for Darkmoon Faire (December 2020). Our Broom Paladin guide also contains Mulligan advice, card combos and strategy tips.
Broom Paladin is a deck which takes advantage of the card draw available to the Paladin class, as well as the chip damage and buff spells we all know and love.
It’s a fun deck, especially if you get to use your tasty tasty Old God cards - our favourite cards of the Darkmoon Faire expansion.
In this version of Broom Paladin, you’ll want to play somewhat similarly to how you’d play Pure Paladin, what with all its buffs, board control, and healing. The main differences are that you’re not actually Pure - you have Neutral cards like Pen Flinger and, of course, Animated Broomstick in this deck, which helps enormously with clearing enemy minions thanks to its Rush ability.

Broom Paladin Mulligan Guide
Below is our guide on what to keep in your opening hand when playing Broom Paladin.
1. First Day of School is a sweet card that can give you a couple 1-drops to get on board early. You might even get an extra Aldor Attendant!
2. Aldor Attendant discounts your Librams by 1 mana. Obviously this is great - Libram of Wisdom can buff it up almost immediately, and getting a non-stop source of healing works absolute wonders.
3. Hand of A'dal buffs your small minions nicely, and allows you to cycle your deck into your later cards.
Broom Paladin tips, combos and synergies
Here are some Darkmoon Faire tips for Broom Paladin:
- Libram of Wisdom is useful for those Pen Flinger turns where you want to pink enemy minions multiple times, since it costs 0 mana when discounted. However, don’t cast Libram of Wisdom on Pen Flinger, as then it’ll be put back into your hand and you lose the Libram.
- Salhet’s Pride will draw you two 1-health minions. These can include Animated Broomstick, Pen Flinger, Salhet’s Pride, or Novice Engineer.
- Yogg-Saron, Master of Fate will only cast its Battlecry when you’ve cast 10 spells this game, so keep using your Librams until it says ‘0 Left’ on Yogg’s card.
- Lothraxion the Redeemed gives all future Silver Hand Recruits Divine Shield, so Air Raid, as well as your Hero Power, will give you Divine Shielded 1/1s.
- Devout Pupil will be discounted by 1 mana every time you use Hand of A'dal, Libram of Wisdom, or Libram of Hope.
- Remember to play Animated Broomstick when you need board clears. Using it along with buffs like Hand of A'dal and Divine Shielded minions like Devout Pupil can swing the board, particularly against aggro.
- Chip away at the enemy face when possible. The small hits will add up, and remember to always count Pen Flinger potential when seeking lethal.
