Just went from R10 to R5 with only one lost game against a control warrior. Hope this deck has some potentional and will help other people to achieve good ranks in the game.

If you don't like druids, this deck just rapes them (90% w/r)! 

New deck, slightly different and faster: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/95220-scratchs-midrange-budget-mage-v2 (only 840 dust!)

Current replacements:

If you miss Kel'Thuzad, put anotherSunwalker, or Argent Commander

Put Ragnaros the Firelord instead of Pyroblast
Cairne Bloodhoof or Sylvanas Windrunner instead of Sunwalker

Testing (You may consider adding):

Mind Control Tech - Yeh, maybe sounds bad, but in this meta, this can be working very well. Update: Already tested and I dont feel it's a good card. Maybe I'm wrong but it really don't fits to me.

Unstable Ghoul - Very good card to deal with annoying zoo's and aggro decks. Already testing! This card can be combined with Acolyte of Pain but still I'd rather play Arcane Intellect over Acolyte.

Update 5.10.2014

- 1x Azure Drake
- 1x Defender of Argus
+ 1x Loatheb 
+ 1x Polymorph - Because of the handlock comeback.

Update 28.8.2014

Acutally trying adding more pressure to early turns. If it will work better for me, I'll do an update.
The following chages are:
- 2x Arcane Missiles
- 1x Mana Wyrm
- 2x Earthen Ring Farseer
- 1x Azure Drake
- 2x Sorcerer's Apprentice
+ 2xUndertaker
+ 2x Loot Hoarder
+ 2x Harvest Golem
+ 1x Loatheb
+ 1x Sunwalker

Update 24.8.2014

Argent Commander
+ Kel'Thuzad - I was surprised, how this card is strong in this deck. Behind a taunt creatures, without opponents a hard removal, this is a win condition.

Update 23.8.2014

+ 2x Earthen Ring Farseer
- 1x Argent Commander
- 2x Harvest Golem Switched back, because of Hunters.
+ 1x Sen'jin Shieldmasta T4 taunt is now more important in this meta. (Even considering adding second one)

Update 15.8.2014

-Duplicate
Sludge Belcher

Update 13.8.2014

Actually playing without Duplicate and with one more Sludge Belcher. I'll give more info if it was worth it! Also considering adding one Spectral Knight instead of the Duplicate.

Update 11.8.2014

Loatheb
Sunwalker


Update 7.8.2014

Loot Hoarder
- 2x Earthen Ring Farseer The reason is T3. I often play T3 only the 3/3 body, because of full HP.
+ 2x Harvest Golem 
Loatheb This is a individual choice, depends the on deck you meet. You may swap it for Unstable Ghoul, Mirror Image or Deathlord. (Only if you're facing rush decks / zoo). If you meet alot of control decks, swap it for second Duplicate

Update 30.7.2014

Loot Hoarder
Sunwalker
Sen'jin Shieldmasta
+ Duplicate - The reason this deck can have problem with control decks, because this deck will run of steam at T10+. Use it for Yettis, Elementals, Sunwalkers and Drakes (the best if you taunted one of these).
+ Pyroblast - Well you need a finisher and no one cheap card provides it. 
Sludge Belcher A little bit weaker than Sunwalker, but it's cheaper (by mana of course)!

Update 21.7.2014

Mirror Image
Blizzard (Maybe gonna take off Flamestrike instead of blizzard)
+ 2x Arcane Missiles

The reason is this deck is weak against fast decks and missiles can deal with the early minions. If you gonna face aggro decks or ZOO, mulligan for Arcane MissilesSorcerer's ApprenticeMana Wyrm and Frostbolt.
