Hello everybody! I'm Peto Martinez, Hearthstone and MTG player from Argentina.
Inkmaster Solia is one of my favorite cards of the new set that's why I built this deck in order to get the most value of her.+10 likes - Mulligan guide+30 likes - Combos+50 likes - Screenshots+80 likes - Card Replacements+100 likes - Tutorial video+150 likes - Inkmaster Reno Mage v2.0

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

Against Pirate Warrior
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.
that's what he said when he...*sob*
I totally agree, but Hemet is out of Standard, so you will probably get Knuckles'ed :(
insta 0% winrate then unfortunately since this deck looks good
im missing solia and alex. only have enough dust to craft one. which one should i craft and what can i sub in for the other one until i have more dust later?
Maybe you can play Reno without Solia, I think Alex is a key card of the deck.
hmm do you think it would be better the other way around? replace alex with reno temporarily and craft up solia?
EDIT: reno is already in the deck lol
needs more Arch-Thief Rafaam imo
No, we don't.
I don't have Solia, Alex and Thalnos, and arcane blast, doomsayer, ice block, cabalist tome and manic soulcaster, i have dust for 2 epics what should i craft? And i have Antonidas.
I would recommend to build other deck. Alex, Solia, Doomsayer, Ice Block and Cabalist Tome are irreplaceable.
:/ Alex, Solia and Cabalist tome are really important,but REALY important?(already counting that i craft Ice block and Doomsayer because i think that those are the most important epics that i miss)
Alex for sure. Solia is a card that gives you board position. And Cabalist Tome is card advantage and maybe more Ice Blocks. I wouldn't play without all those cards, maybe without one you can look for a replacement but if you're missing a lot of them you have to see if maybe it would be easier for your to play other line of the deck, maybe Dragon Reno mage?
I don't have BRM i'll probably start to get gold for buy it, i only have the first wing And I actually want to do the dragon warrior, priest and that kinda of stuff
I just crafted Twisting Nether and Dirty Rat for my RenoLock i think that this was the best option
Hello =D i love your deck, has a little problems against jade druid but in general i love it, this is my experience, this video is in spanish so there are the matches:
1º against aggro shaman, minute 8:55
2º against aggro warrior, minute 15:05
3º against jade druid, minute 22:48
4º against jade shaman, minute 34:46
I'm finding it incredibly difficult to win against Jade Druids. Their ability to generate large minions simply can't be dealt with when playing with this deck.
Yeah, you'll have that. There doesn't exist a single deck in this game that has zero weaknesses. Luckily for Reno Mage players, Jade Druid is fairly absent from the meta thanks to all the aggro decks being played right now (which, by the way, Reno Mage is favored against).
You just have to accept that you can't win every single game. You also have to keep in mind that even unfavored matchups aren't always insta-losses. I've seen Freeze Mage beat Control Warrior before, and that's one of the least favored matchups to ever exist in the game. Just do your best, and if you lose, then move on.
How did you not lose any games from rank 4 to 3 if you didnt get bonuses for win streak? What a lie
Rank 5 - Legend doesn't have winstreaks
