Hi! I used this list to hit LEGEND for the first time. I played all games with this deck from Bronze 10 to Legend. (From Bronze 10 to Diamond 10 I played Archmage Antonidas + Loot Hoarder instead of 2xForgotten Torch but Torches are way better and consistent) Twitter Post
EDIT: Hit Legend again (November 2023) with it. For some reasons it was a bit harder this time but I finally got legend 2nd time with this list.

Stats (117W-81L)
(NOTE: "FM" was used from B10 > D10, "Burn FM" from D10 > Legend)
Mulligan:
Overall you want to keep: Mad Scientist, Loot Hoarder, Novice Engineer, Acolyte of Pain, Arcane Intellect
VS Hunter, Paladin, Shaman you can also keep Doomsayer, Forgotten Torch, Frostbolt to stop thier aggresion as soon as possible.
Tips:
- VS decks without any Healing/Armor OR aggro sometimes you can just throw spells at thier face instead of waiting for Alexstrasza. Especially Fireball and preferably throwing cheaper spells (Ice Lance, Frostbolt, Forgotten Torch) with Spell Damage cards.
- Using Frostbolt or Fireball (and obviously Forgotten Torch) to clear some problematic minions is sometimes necessary, especially early.
- Also using Ice Lance/Frostbolt to freeze lifesteal minions/weapons can turn game around in your favour.
- VS decks like Reno, Handlock, Priest usually I would try to get as much damage as possible + Spell Damage and use Emperor Thaurissan to finish them from 30HP, so they don't have possibility to heal.
- Don't use Frost Nova/Blizzard on small boards. Calculate the board damage and what they can play next turn. Sometimes it's okay to take some damage if you are not really low HP and use Frost Nova/Blizzard once they play more minions.
- Playing Doomsayer early without Frost Nova/Blizzard, can really slow down enemy aggresion. Also playing it sometimes can work as additional HP since enemy will trade it or throw damaging spells to not lose board.
!!! IMPORTANT !!! This deck is not easy to pilot. If you have never played this deck it will take some time and loses to get use to it.
Whoever is having success with this must be at lower ranks, because higher up you're just getting laughed at.
got legend by playing just this deck (but - Loot Hoarder and + Ice Barrier) with 68% winrate, but i used to play it a lot back then
it's just very skill-dependent
Congratulations! It's definitely not easiest deck to play but once you master it, it's very rewarding.
Great deck. Yes, challenging to pilot, especially at first. I’m just 3-4 in Bronze, but I’ve played it in the past before, so I’m starting to get it again. I will try these other ones too. Thank you all for posting. There are many of us (like me) who don’t have the mind to figure out what works well in decks together. :)
Yeah! I'm the same way. I always prefer to copy someone's else deck than actually build my own but lately I'm just tweaking what I feel is right and see if it works. Good luck and have fun on ladder!
You too. Thanks!
Hey! Nice deck! Can you send me a nice deck list for Exodia mage as well? I have tryed so many different ways to get it work. But i alwasy end up around 33% win rate.
Here is the deck! Tell me what you think and if I should make any changes. :)

Actually at the start of the season I created Quest Giant Mage, I faced a lot of aggro so I tweaked it a bit and climbed from B10 > D10. Although I didn't have the best results at the beginning and I climbed really fast because of Bonus Stars from last season so I'm not sure how well it's performing in a long run. If you wanna give it a try then go on and have fun!
