1. This is very similar to the standard Tempo Mage which is seen throughout ladder. In the video I did claim it as my own, but by that I mean my own edition of the deck.

Mulligan:

1. Without Coin: Generally with or without coin the most important thing to do is establish a board and being able to maintain the board without having to sacrifice minions. Therefore you always want to extremely mulligan for Mana Wyrm & Mad Scientist. Those are always going to be the two core mulligan cards. After those, you generally want to mulligan for Flamecannon & Frostbolt. The reason we mulligan for these two removal cards is to be able to main the board which is essential. Acceptable cards to keep without coin, while having one of the aforementioned minions/spells are Unstable Portal & Arcane Intellect. These are the six core general cards you would mulligan for without coin. Flamewaker is definitely an option but is a bit too risky to summon out on the board without any low cost spells that help it achieve it's full effect.

2. With Coin: Generally with or without coin the most important thing to do is establish a board and being able to maintain the board without having to sacrifice minions. Therefore you always want to extremely mulligan for Mana Wyrm & Mad Scientist. Those are always going to be the two core mulligan cards. After those, you generally want to mulligan for Flamecannon & Frostbolt. The reason we mulligan for these two removal cards is to be able to main the board which is essential. Now a little different from the without having a coin section is that we are more acceptable into keeping Flamewaker. The reason for this is because just by having coin you are guaranteed two missiles on turn three, and if you draw into Arcane Missiles you are guaranteed seven missiles which definitely have the chance to switch the momentum of the game by a landslide. Now some other acceptable cards to keep with coin are Unstable Portal, Sorcerer's Apprentice & Arcane Intellect. The reason that we keep these cards is because with Sorcerer's Apprentice, Arcane Intellect definitely becomes cheaper by turn three allowing you to combo it with an unstable portal or any removal spell.

Tech Cards: 

1. Big Game Hunter: Used to remove Dr. Boom or any minion your opponent has that is vulnerable to BGH. Most opponents do not expect a BGH from Tempo!

Replacement: Spellslinger, Forgotten Torch, Arcane Blast, Mirror Image

2. Mind Control Tech: Used to counter any kind of aggro, also counters Dr. Boom very nicely and gives you a chance to use BGH to kill Dr. Boom if that is not the minion you stole. Switches momentum big time!                                                        

Replacement: Spellslinger, Forgotten Torch, Arcane Blast, Mirror Image

3. Emperor Thaurissan: Discounts spells and cards, allowing you to play two minions or use two spells or even more combinations that could definitely change the momentum of the game. Check out the videos as I have had some pretty epic Thaurissan moments.                                                                                                                                      

Replacement: Archmage Antonidas Ragnaros

4. Loatheb: Used to counter any removal spells and prevent lethal from spells, also a decent sized body five drop that demands the opponent to remove it.          

Replacement: Spellslinger, Forgotten Torch, Arcane Blast, Mirror Image

 

Gameplay:

1.  Gameplay will be added on a most likely daily basis. Videos will serve to demonstrate the current climb with the deck in ladder as well as demonstrating the mulligan and thought process that comes along with the deck when facing certain classes!

2. There will be victories as well as defeats in the gameplay, because it is important to not only show how to properly play the deck but also show the imperfections the deck has as well as mistakes that the pilot could commit and learn from.
