hi dude, i was playing antonidas but he really doesnt work in this deck.. u can replace with 1 arcane missiles and a clockwork gnome! :) but i suggest u highly to craft them cause they are really a key to this deck.. cause they cost 0-1 mana and work perfect with flamewakers and azure drakes!

i feel like the counter spell is being countered against all the spare parts flooding the ladder. :)

perhaps change it to duplicate x2?

I dont understand the Counterspell choice though, since they're easy to handle by playing spare parts..

This is nice. I had to replace Kirin and Rag.

Replaced Rag with KT and the 2 Kirin with 1 Ethereal Arcanist and a duplicate

yea, I've only won 2 out of 8 matches against hunter.. Draw doesn't seem to matter.  Their traps/aggro/flares tear you to shreads.  Seems to be worst match up.  I fair better against zoo with the changes I made.  Though, 8 out of 39 matches doesn't really warrant significant changes to battle Hunters.. they seem to be infrequent from 19-8 on american servers at the moment

I have personally climbed from rank 19 to 9 tonight with this deck.  Normally, I play hunter (mid/control/huntertaker depending on meta).  I have recently achieved the golden portrait and normalize around rank 4-5 playing hunter most seasons.  I've really wanted the warrior golden and haven't been able to get past rank 19 with an abysmal win % with control or aggro/hybrids alike (I love the look of the warrior golden but apparently I'm terrible at the class). Anyway, I wanted a break from it and fell upon this build.  Normally, I tend to build my own decks or variations of popular ones (I don't get why people get bent out of shape when decks are similar to popular decks, with 30 total cards from a very limited pool, you are bound to see very similar decks with vary slight meta  variations..) I've been having a lot of fun with this tempo/control style mage deck and currently have a 60+% win rate (could be wrong but damn have I been doing good) going from 19-9 playing 37 games, 24 of those wins.  Regardless, the deck is super consistent, with most of my losses against hunter ( won 2 out of 7 matches)  Meta seems to be heavy Druid combo, mage, priest control, all of which I have better than 80% win rates presently.  This is my first post on this site even though I lurk it often.  I just want to say that out of any deck I've tried here, this one works great for me so far.  I did take out both mana worms for 1 blizz and 1 extra flame.  Though I weirdly haven't come across TOO much zoo, I have enough to justify the change.  most of the locks and Pallys I've faced have been aggro/zoo making up 10 out of the 37 games.  It's changed an almost 100% loss rate to 50 against zoo locks

Love this deck!! Really fun to play!! 

The only card I don't have from your list is Ragnaros so currently I replace Rag with Arcane Intellect. :D 

Deck kinda mehh

I dont understand what u ask..

With my expertise in deciphering, I do believe wOw_iThomas asked what rank you got this deck to?

I guess u can take out cairne for a spellbreaker :)

Reasoning for Cairne Bloodhoof over Sylvanas Windrunner in this metagame?

It's about ur preference, if u want a 5/5 body that can steal a minion whichever it is and if there is board to steal, or u want a 8/10 body that trades,trades,trades,and trades. Vs handlock ofc sylvanas is better, but vs some other classes cairne is tottally prefered, like miracle rogue. It's too close anyways and u can replace these 2 cards whenever u see u need the other. Ofc if u think u need silence u can take a spellbreaker in this place of the deck.

Yeah, thanks for the comprehensive answer; was just curious since I often see high level players play Sylvanas instead in this type of deck. I'll take your word for it for now and stick to Cairne, however since you're the one with experience on the deck. :]

Why Mirror Entity rather than Duplicate?

Duplicate most of the times gives you a minion that u dont want.. and it's way too slow. Mirror entity is 1 for 1 just you most of the times tempo play it, and dont spend mana :)

I've been looking for a mage deck to try out for my deck spotlight series on YouTube. Had some success with this deck, although I made a couple of suggested changes, I hope you like the video!

I don`t have TBK or Cairne, as replacements I have Sylvanas, any suggestions for the second replacement?

There are no good 5-6 drops that can replace these legendaries so try 1 of these:
i) Spectral knight
ii) Defender of argus
iii) Spellbreaker
