Well Fungalmage actually performed really well Here are stats and deck from tonight stream. Went from rank 5 floor - Rank 1 in 4 hours. (76% w/r) I'm not joking when I say that this style of mage might be optimal. Need a much larger sample size though, but it feels good.
Also this list isn't final i'm still trying to cut Apprentice and I'm not sure if I should run 2 conjurers or 1 and 1 chaingang.
oh yeah mirror entity might be really good in this list too
Hit legend and climbed to top 100 with Fungalmage on last nights stream. Here are some updated stats for anyone curious. Still maintaining a 70%+ winrate. Playing the same decklist from my previous tweet.
yeah I started playing the deck at Rank 5. I think against an experienced warlock the matchup is pretty close to 50-50 maybe slightly mage favoured. Also I think I went something like 6-0 vs zoo so that improves my warlock stats.

Maybe replace an Apprentice for Potion of Polymorph?
That's a great idea! Could be worth experimenting with!
I haven't played this deck, but it has a LOT of 1-3 cost drops, are you sure you just didn't get unlucky draws?
Any replacements for Medivh's Valet?
Another secret, like Mirror Entity or Ice Block.
Ethereal Arcanist might be good in this deck too.
nvm. i played your deck. it is pretty cool. it got me to the next rank, though it remains to be determined how far it will get me as i only played 3 matches and won 2 of them. thanks.
No replacement for aluneth? Won't craft a legendary, unless it's really necessary
Aluneth is that kind of legendary I'm afraid. It allows you to run so many secrets that need to be played in combo with minions for good tempo, because it can draw your whole deck by turn 10. Once equipped, it also means you can reliably draw your direct damage spells like Fireball and Firelands Portal every match.
It's even better in Wild with cards like Mad Scientist, Ice Lance and Forgotten Torch. Its power level is only going to increase with every good aggressive card printed for mages.
Any replacements for Aluneth. Is it one of the key cards?
no, aluneth is pretty essential in this archetype atm. it is what makes it work.
I didn't have dust to craft so I replaced it with Pyroblast. It seems good for now.
Overall, an amazing deck.
Thanks
I will give it a whirl. Have already built it.
is there a reason no one is running arcane giant . all i did was take out corridor creepr and replace arcane giant, hitting massive 15 winstreaks and climbing to rank 5 slowly. please reply with reasioning. i have tried all these variations of secret mage and they all suck compared to just adding arcane giant, they lose every game. please explain your deck to me and why i should bother crafting it over my deck which is almost rank 7. the winrate is pretty low, only 51% but still, i am not having difficulty facing zoo, i beat them 100% of the time. i am not having difficulty facing cube - i beat them 35% of the time, i am not having difficulty beating hunter. the ony ones causing me problems are murcadin and spiteful priest. here is my deck. i can show some videos proving i have had 15 win win streaks etc etc and how i am plyaing the deck. i just would like you to explain your deck to me so i can compare the 2 as i would like to climb as high as possilbe this season. thanks.
HiNo's Arcane Giant Secret Mage
like i said, i have tried all the variations of secret mage. i have tried the ones with bittertide hydraa. i have tried ones without aluneth. i have tried ones that run pyroblast and potion of polymorph. i have tried a mix match of discover mage and secret mage (to varying results) of my own creation. I ultimately never got past rank 11. at one star away from rank 11 i lost every game i played and dropped to rank 15. for a week i bounced back and forth between the decks until finally deciding that simply adding arcane giant (like i didp post patch, since i never understand what the f corridor creepr was doing in the deck) was catually the right decision. the next day i won 15 games in a row and have been haning around in rank 8 since.
so, my question to you is why should i play your deck? how do you play your deck. I am very hesistant on crafting a bunch of what i feel are useless cards annd dropping all the way to rank 10 again. My dust is basically limited to only crafting mage related deck and decks for adventures (as i am close to beating all of them on heroic) until the new season when i possibly swithc over to druid to get my 4th golden hero.
so, pleaase msg me, or reply and we can discuss tactics. I am very curious as to why no one is running arcane giant.
Arcane Giant is a bit slow for secret mage I think, compared to a Hydra for an 8/8 minion on turn 5 you have to cast 7 spells before you do the same with a Giant. I played a Hydra deck before I finished the Karazhan adventure for the Valets and it was only good when I topdecked it, the problem with minions is that you generally give up the board by turns 5-6 and go for burn, especially with Aluneth. Also in a taunt heavy meta with Voidlords, it's safer to invest in spells and direct damage effects through battlecries.
About Pyroblast, I always keep one in secret mage, it's a great finisher against control and any deck that runs death knights.
i am not finding it slow at all. i am finding it's cost reduction is very fast. what is not always reliable is drawing it.
