*update*
Replaced Pyroblast with Mukla, Tyrant of the Vale
This deck is pretty straight forward, your kill condition is spells and or overwhelming with large legendaries in round 10-12.
The basic strategy is to keep the board cleared, you've got two cabalist tomes, two flamestrikes and two ethereal conjurers. Board clear is not a problem in this deck.
Combo:
Save Emperor Thaurissan, drop Rhonin, Rhonin dies, get missiles, drop Emperor, now you have something for Antonidas & Flamewakers.
Rhonin is your bait and switch. He's going to die, get polymorphed, hexed.. something and if he does, no big deal.
Your other big distraction is Rag. He drops, he dies.
The nice thing about all of these legendaries is that they get dealt with quick and towards the end of the game in round 10 - 12 it can become very overwhelming for any opponent.
Mulligan:
It's a tempo mage, mulligan for Mana Wyrms and low cost spells.
Problems:
Over stimulation of crap cards. RNG is a bitch, Ethereal Conjurer and Cabalist Tome can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Don't rely on Flamewakers to board kill down to a 50/50 chance, they fail you often.
If you get a Ice Block, just take it... ive lost too many games thinking I could blast my way out of it when i should have taken the ice block.
mukla replacement?
Just went from rank 17 to 11 with this deck in 2hrs~ great deck i love mage i got my 500 wins already and this deck is one of the best ones ive played so far really consistent!
Thank you! :D
Replacements for Rhonin and Bloodmage Thalnos?
For bloodmage I'd say cult sorcerer as you really want the spell damage for 2 mana.
People don't often calculate a 2 mana spell damage at end game that gives you that one extra damage to win :)
for or rhonin id say king murka if not him try sylvannas or a faceless summoner
Something I am noticing with having 2x Ethereal Conjurers and 2x Cabalists Tome is that the opportunity for a Pyroblast comes up quite often enough I am thinking of replacing the Pyroblast with King Mukla.
Will update and let everyone know!

With all these spells...seems like Yogg for kicks would be great fun...thoughts? Which card would you switch for it?
I was thinking -1 Flamestrike +1 Yogg.
I purposely left out Yogg. He loses or has little effect more than he wins. I'm also not a fan of gimmick cards like Reno, CThun and Yogg.
This deck is theme based too :) thus the name
having said that, considering the zoo decks, I'd replace the Pyroblast for Yogg to keep mana synergy good. Just my two cents :)
Reno and C'Thun gimmick cards for sure. Kappa
This is a really good deck, but can't win versus shaman.... And right now, at least at rank 2-5 it is almost 1 shaman in 2 games. The other one is warrior, which is maneagable if you know how to play.
Agreed, shaman just overwhelms this decks ability to control
the board. Warriors I have a good chance against if
i can control the board early with mana wyrms and mirror images.
Do you have any recommandations to beat those shamans ? I am using a tempo mage deck with some modifications to suit my playstyle/meta more. But now that I face sooo much shamans and can't win versus them, I am trying to find a solution.
I am rank 4 right now, was rank 1 star from rank 2 but lost all the games because I faced like 8 shamans in a row :/
which ranks did you advance with this deck?
8 but I make a lot of mistakes when I play. The deck shouldn't be penalized for my non-perfect playing of it :)
stupid mistakes like getting greedy and impatient instead of smart and slow. Picking damage spells over ice blocks or attacking face instead of creatures. For instance, I played a Mage yesterday who dropped Alex, I got a copy of her from my secret and my turn I dropped rag. I attacked her instead of Alex and then realized I was left open to her Alex and a fireball/hero power death.
I berated myself so much after that the neighbors could hear me, dumb dumb dumb lol
Very good deck for the meta, no one suspect Rhonin or a Pyroblast! 8 straight wins so far, thanks Soulblaze420!!!
- No legendary yet?
Thanks!
No, I wish! I don't have the time to play and study the meta that it takes to handle Legendary, kids, job, etc :)
(plus im not the best player, just an amazing deck builder- lol!) maybe you can hit Legendary with this ;)
lol this deck is nuts, it looks like it just would not work but it does! You have enough fire power to board clear until your bigger minions come out and at that point, it's too late, great deck man!
Warriors can be a pain though! They tend to run me out with these types of temp mage decks
This deck is legit, went from rank 19 to rank 8 in a day, Rhonin is a must!
Thanks, I have been meaning to put this deck up! :)
