Anti-Meta DemoMage
*Update*
Thanks for helping me having this decklist #1 in Hearthpwn! Love you guys! I will try to make more decks as soon as the new expansion be introduced. Whoever wants to upload a gameplay of this deck, make sure it credits the author and has a link to the decklist in the video description. Once you send me your video in personal message (and it meets all the requirements as mentioned above) it may be uploaded in the deck description on "Gameplays" section. Until next time, stay perfect :)
Hello, my name is Indina Demo, Greek player of Hearthstone for almost 3 years and I'm here to help you climb faster. This deck will help you to deal with every Aggro deck such as Combo Druid -with their broken combo- , Cancer Paladin -with their annoying secrets- and of course Face Hunter and Aggro Shaman. The main concept is to put Ice Block on the board and when they break it you can play Reno Jackson. This deck helped me reach Rank 5 from Rank 19 in almost 2 days. Try it too!
Vs Druid: Mulligan for Arcane Missles, Flamewaker and Acolyte of Pain. Next turns ping Acolyte of Pain to search for Ice Block. When you draw it, put it on board ASAP! Now you destroyed his combo. Congratulations! Now the next you want to get is Reno Jackson. When you play him the next turn the opponent broke your Ice Block, you get +29 hp and you have full advantage as he will have no combo to play. And that's how you destroy his deck. If all fails play Loatheb in turn 8 (or 6 if he had played Emperor Thaurissan) and delay his combo in order to have more chances to draw Ice Block. DO NOT LET HIM DAMAGE YOU, IF YOU HAVE 16 HP IN TURN 9 (OR 7) YOU ARE DEAD.
Vs Secret Paladin: Mulligan forArcane Missles, Flamewaker, Acolyte of Pain andBig Game Hunter. As mentioned before, the thing you want to put on board is Reno Jackson and Ice Block, but at this time you don't have to rush it. Basically wait for the secret paladin and activate his Secret Chain. Avenge must be played on Mysterious Challenger so do not, under any circumstances, let him have other minions on board. When Avenge is on Mysterious Challenger, simply kill it with your Big Game Hunter. When this happen just play tempo and everything will be alright
Vs Aggro Hunter-Shaman: Mulligan for Acolyte of Pain, Arcane Missles, Flamewaker, Frostbolt,Flamecannon and Arcane Blast. Just ping their low minions and kill them with spells mentioned above. Rush draw with pinging Acolyte of Pain and Arcane Intellect in order to draw Ice Block and Reno Jackson combo. When you have these 2 cards, the possibilities to win are over 96%. Not to mention that many of them may rage-quit ;)
Vs Control Decks: Just keep a tempo and try to hit face when opponents minions are not dangerous. Remember playing against Control Decks may be deifficult to win but keep in mind that very few play control decks in this meta. At least not that much as the decks mentioned above!

Just played a long game with this deck, at the very end i finally top decked a reno, not only that but i had duplicate up, so s/he killed my reno and then conceded lol
However once i reached rank 15, its just loss after loss.
Holy this deck is nuts! I'm currently 8-0 and I have played Reno Jackson only once, although i could've won wthout it. Thanks for the deck!
First - love this deck! Fell in love as soon as I started playing it, and had such great success that I am trying to push to legend for the first time.
The current list is great for laddering up to the higher ranks. It took me a few games to get the playstyle, but won ten in a row at one point. The Ice Block -> Molten Giant -> Reno combination is so satisfying.
At the higher ranks though, it seems too slow. After treading water at around Rank 5/6 for about 30 games, made the following changes that seem to be working:
-1 Acolyte of Pain, +1 Mad Scientist
-1 Ethereal Conjurer, +1 Elise Starseeker
-1 Ragnaros, +1 Sylvanas
Yes, this puts two Mad Scientists in the deck, but it's more than worth it in my opinion. It helps shore up the early game, pull your survivabililty secrets from the deck, and strengthens your draws on later turns. Far stronger than Acolyte.
Against faster decks, Conjurer is just too much of a mana investment that they can deal with easily. I like Elise because it helps put some more meat in your mid-game, while also giving you another win condition.
I could never find a good time to play Ragnaros. It either won me a game I was probably going to win anyway, or it would sit in my hand against boards filled with 1/1s and Eggs, etc. I chose Sylvanas as a replacement since I was often behind on board with this deck, but other options, like Antonidas, might work as well
any way to fit echo of medivh?
Nice deck! I replace Ragnaros the Firelord for Ysera. Using Dream on Reno Jackson is osm :)
Nice deck, really fun to play. Thanks
is there a way that I can fit in Nexus champion saraad?
Conjurer and Ragnaros are the most replaceable of the late game cards
Absolutely loving this deck! Always was a huge fan of Tempo Mage but never thought of turning a more control, reno variation to it! Props for the deck. All the best man!
I will try this deck indeed, from the top of my head i would like to take away Emperor Thaurissan and Ice Barrier. And put in Brann Bronzebeard and Youthful Brewmaster or perhaps Ancient Brewmaster
This deck is pile of shit, never draw card you need. w/o reno you lose 80% of your games vs aggro decks.
I am 500rd, gracc!
im bad at hearthstone, but getting to rank 15 is easy with this deck.
my personal best was rank 11, so not baad :D ty!
Very nice deck, won my 5 first games with it, and still climbing!
Been Searching for a good Mage deck for long time!
Just had a Dublicate on Reno, vs Combo druid he got pissed i think...
+1 from me!
it might be me that you won against :p I was pissed yeah! :D
Thanks for posting this deck, it's very original and seems quite rewarding for going up the ranks. I haven't tested it too much, but it seems to be really good against all aggro decks. It really sucks against control Priest though and I fear it might against control Warrior as well.
Thinking of adding a Polymorph but wouldn't know what card to replace it with.
Counterspell should be fine
You need to try clearing in early game so he doesn't get his sticky army with secrets pack on turn 6. Try mulliganning for your removal spells, I'd also not hesistate using Fireball on 3-4 health minions in desperate situations (though it's needed for Challenger in best case scenario). I guess you also can put Kezan in the deck.
Mulligan for frostbolt, arcane missiles, flamecannon, forgotten torch and clear all the early game.
This deck is a lot of fun, but I'm finding that it doesn't give me a great win/loss ratio, around level 9. I replaced Ragnaros with Alexstrasza, because I don't have him. Alex has been very good though, and kicks ass with Duplicate. Anyway though, it struggles a little with midrange decks, I find, which is kind of weird since it's a Reno deck. Anyways, fun deck.
