Sup pwn,
THIS IS THE FINAL DRAFT. Removed one Kabal Lackey for YOGG. Becasue I found that the current meta was full of strong decks that have power house turns every now and then. Screw that, Yogg cares not. Theres a decent amount of spells and he still does the incredible unlike any card (And yes, sometimes he's a D.)
Just hit legend today in about 40 games from rank 5. Its a fast tempo list that relies on strong mulligans. Gratz to ma man Blackbeef for the inspiration!
Always look for: Mana Wyrm , Kabal Lackey , Babbling Book , Arcanologist
Optional keepers:
Frostbolt only keep this if you have a 1 drop pr 2 drop minion. Its never truly bad to keep this card VS any class but you want minions to play on curve. They are your win condition. Frostbolt is there to protect them. Keeping it vs priest or murloc paly is not half bad no matter what type they play. You need to remove Northshire Cleric and kill small murlocs so they dont adapt early.
Counterspell and Mirror Entity: Only keep these two if u have a Kirin Tor Mage or Kabal Lackey. And consider the hunter or aggro warrior matchup. You dont want a copy of a 1/1 pirate or 1/1 beast. But you do want to Counterspell an Animal Companion or Heroic Strike early in the game.
Primodial Glyph: Only keep it if you have a 1 drop and its a decent keep if ur facing an aggro deck. Because a 0 mana Frostbolt kills a high priority target like Murloc Warleader because you cant afford not to remove certain minions and there are no Arcane Blast's anymore.

That moment when Yogg-Saron, Hope's End Spirit Echo himself, and then double Blizzard the enemy board <3
remove -2 Mirror Entity, +2 Potion of polimorph. Works better against warrioirs
So i removed 1x Kabal Lackey for 2nd Primordial Glyph. It is more effective in the late game when your hand is empty and you need to top deck something useful. Anyways vote up for the deck.
I don't have Counterspell, Ice Block, Kirin Tor Mage and Kabal Crystal Runner, do you think that I should craft them or look for another deck?
look for another deck. this deck cannot survive in the current meta. i spent my hard earned dust on this deck, just because i love mage. you will win time to time, but this deck cannot carry beyond rank 15
I disagree, went from 5 to 1 in no time with this deck. Maybe you should adapt your playstyle to more aggresive and then play it?
Enjoying the Deck!
I made a small modification though:
-1 Firelands Portal
+1 Flamestrike
Obviously this is to counter Murloc Pally and Hunters.
Can I fit Pyroblast in here somewhere as a finisher?
I don't have babbling book or valet what can I replace with
I don't know how is it even possible but currently went 11-1 with this deck (only lost to hunter) from rank 5 to 3. My only replacement was Primordial Glyph (because I don't have it) to another Ethereal Arcanist. Really great deck, appreciate it man!
Edit: Currently 22-7 on rank 2, nice! I feel like aggro is the worst match up with this deck.
Edit 2: 29-9 on rank 1 and keep going!
Wins are always great and even if it does or does not get wins its still such a fun deck that doesn't revolve around stalling. I really appreciate it :)
This is a terrible list. It doesn't even run Angry Chickens. You can freeze them with your Ice Block and Frostbolts, and then they last forever.
Nothing can beat infinite 1/1 value. Just look at how Dreadsteed has broken the meta. You should just rebuild the deck, son.
Also, my neighbour's dog is named Ivan. Is this more than a coincidence? Really makes you think.
First 2 or 3 games were rough but ended up going 11-5 in my first 16 between ranks 10-8. I am going to try to ride this deck for a while (hopefully to my 1st legendary rank). Thanks for sharing!
