Mulligan Guide
Against Pirate Warrior, Aggro/Jade Shaman, Pirate Rogue:
Keep Arcane Blast, Frostbolt, Volcanic Potion, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Doomsayer. If you already have one of these you can keep Ice Block or Ice Barrier.
Against Reno Warlock, Reno Mage or any Reno deck:
Keep Arcane Intellect, Babbling Book, Kabal Courier, Kazakus and Brann Bronzebeard.
Against Dragon Priest:
Keep Frostbolt, Forgotten Torch, Polymorph, Fireball and Arcane Intellect.
Combos
Arcane Blast + Azure Drake/Bloodmage Thalnos: Try to play Thalnos only when you are going to kill an important guy or clean the board. 4 damage for 1 mana with Arcane Blast is all you need to keep your board in a good position.
Brann Bronzebeard: This card is amazing in the deck, it has a lot of sinergy with most of the minions in the deck. Babbling Book, Kabal Courier, Kazakus, Mind Control Tech & Azure Drake are always good targets. Obviously what do you want to do is play Kazakus with this card. Never play Manic Soulcaster with it, I have lose a game because of this.
Inkmaster Solia + Kazakus: Revive 3 Minions and Draw 3 cards having a 5/5 extra minion for 7 mana sounds good, isn't it? Almost every combination of 10 mana spells works perfect with her.
Ice Block + Reno Jackson/Alexstrasza: This secret let you play in a more comfortable way if you have Reno in your hand. Try to worry about getting the more card advantage as possible and Ice Block without getting triggered. If your opponent tries to kill you he will have to commit a lot of board and if he doesn't he will give you all the time you need to stabilize the game.

Here are some screenshot when I reach rank 3 without losing a game.

Replacements
Epic Cards
Arcane Blast: Any cheap spell that make damage like Forbidden Flame or Arcan
Ice Block: Irreplaceable
Cabalist's Tome: Ethereal Conjurer
Doomsayer: I can't find a good replacement for this. Maybe you should play another 2 drop.
Legendary Cards:
Inkmaster Solia: Archmage Antonidas
Bloodmage Thalnos: Kobold Geomancer/Loot Hoarder
Brann Bronzebeard: Irreplaceable
Kazakus: Irreplaceable
Reno Jackson: Irreplaceable
Alexstraza: Ragnaros the Firelord
Just try to have an harmony beyond all your cards, e.g: If you're playing Archamage Antonidas play cheap spell.
Tutorial Video
I want to give special thanks to kiwiinbacon for this incredible tutorial video. He's a great player and the video is so fun.
Here you have a second video of a Latin American player like me. You have a lot of matchups and you can see how the deck works from another perspective. Follow Cythe O2 in his channel.
A third video from a nice guy called FraggedByDay, follow him on his channel!
Inkmaster Reno Mage v2.0
I have made a few changes to improve the deck against aggro decks, here they are:
-1 Emperor Thaurissan
-1 Manic Soulcaster
-1 Forbidden Flame
+1 Mirror Image
+1 Mistress of Mixtures
+1 Refreshment Vendor
It's still having some issues against Jade Shaman but it gets a lot better vs any Warrior and Rogue deck.
Crap deck. Now 0-17 with it. Bullshit!
Try the 18th game dude! Maybe there you can win!
lul
It's a hard deck to play with a big learning curve, I still havent figured this deck out yet but if you like the renomage style try Amaz's deck. I've been playing that one and It's super easy and straightforward.
Edit: Forgot to mention - I'm 0-3 with this deck ant 11-1 with amaz's. This deck is super good it's just my playstyle that i need to work on.
Dont have Thalnos, is there any replacement for him?
Loot hoarder. Not nearly as good because no spell damage but at least you get the draw
mage 2 mana 3/2 card +1 spell dmg give your cthun +1/1 for every spell or loot holder
Loot Hoarder, Ethereal Conjurer, and Arcane Missiles should do, though the deck will suffer a bit for it.
If no Kazakus what swap for? Tips pls!
Kazakus is very important in this deck. No replacement for him! I was 0-5 without him. I crafted him and now I'm 5-0!
if you don't have kazakus, just swap to another deck lol
Malditos idolos de jade... ¬¬
spells are fun, so fun! I'll take this:)
You want to cast a spell?! I wanna cast a spell!
-1 Acidic Swamp Ooze for +1 Arcane Explosion, -1 Water Elemental for +1 Ethereal Conjurer, -1 Mind Control Tech for Emperor Thaurissan. Been winning non stop
Room for Archmage Antonidas in here?
Hey,
I made a video for the deck as well in which I was able to stall the game and just kill my opponent (Shaman^^) with multiple Fireblast hits. That was really satisfying! :D

I like the changes, aggro decks were giving me a hard time. Also having a full hand with too much situational cards against renolock, not being able to use arcane intellect or tome was an issue for me. I think soulcaster is good without bran, both are not nessecary.
deck is cool and all but where is Hemet Nesingwary? i mean if you want to get legend you HAVE to put this card in your deck unless if you want Knuckles to fuck your shit up.
i mean look at Knuckles he looks like he came out of a gay ape bar fisting everything he sees that's why you MUST add Hemet Nesingwary to your deck if you want to win,
HAHAHAHA amazing
