Hearthstone Standard Rotation: The 5 Best Paladin Cards Leaving Standard in 2019 (Constructed)

#1. Righteous Protector

Expansion: Knights of the Frozen Throne

How is this little guy such a powerful card for Paladin? Turns out, the Divine Shield and Taunt Combo can be annoying and takes a few trades to bypass. Along with having synergies with Sunkeeper Tarim and Dark Conviction, Righteous Protector can also protect your other smaller minions and "dudes" from being killed. 1-drops have also been the problem child of Hearthstone!

Honourable Mentions

Unidentified Maul

Expansion: Kobolds & Catacombs

Unidentified Maul and its variations are a powerful include in Odd Paladin decks. A fairly statted weapon, its Battlecry can be used to flood the board, protect your minions and your hero while being able to mow down enemy minions.

Call to Arms

Expansion: Kobolds & Catacombs

Call to Arms was completely busted when it cost 4 mana. It was used in Even Paladin and Aggro Paladin decks and bringing out 3 minions on to the battlefield while also thinning your deck is super busted. In Even Paladin, it guaranteed to pull out 3 2-drops. It stopped seeing too much play after its Nerf, when Odd Paladin dominated the meta.

Spikeridge Steed

Expansion: Journey to Un'Goro

Spikeridge Steed is a powerful spell which gives you +4/+12 worth of stats on taunt. It buffs a minion and summons a 2/6 taunt. It was used a lot in Lynessa and Kaleidosaur decks, but recently sees play in Shirv'allah based decks.

Uther of the Ebon Blade

Expansion: Knights of the Frozen Throne

The Death Knight hero for Paladin is not as strong as Hunter or Mage, but Exodia Paladin is a deck that sees play. The Death Knight is very powerful on its own, a 2/2 hero power is better than a 1/1 in many ways. Destroying the enemy hero by bringing on all the 4 horsemen is an insanely fun way to guarantee a kill on the enemy. Uther of the Ebon Blade will definitely be missed.
