Current version:  11:1 ( http://imgur.com/a/yZXnl )  (up to rank five). It handles aggro well at cost of losing some value cards (in comparion with pure value build)  .

I also experimented with other cards. But this version seems fine.

This deck is slower version of burn mage with control elements. My ambition is not to take credit for already played archetype but to present my version of this deck. I play HS for a couple of years and my usual goal is to reach rank 5 then switch to arena.But I believe this deck is capable of reaching legend easily.

10 upvotes: mulligan guide: Clear :).

Mulligan:

Generally:

  1. Core cards are Arcanologist and Mana Wyrm. U should always dig for them hard. Only if u get these cards u should consider keeping something else.

Against aggro:

  1. Always keep Mana Wyrm, Arcanologist, Volcanic Potion. U can keep mostly also Frostbolt but do not overdo it with reactive cards.

Do not keep:

medivh´s valet: strenght of this cards is in combination with secret. Vanilla 2/3 can´t stop aggro alone and it´s not impressive against slower  deck.

Speculative:

Primordial Glyph: I personally don´t like keeping this card because:

 1.against aggro: U have to get good spell right away. So it´s better to mulligan for volcanic potion or frostbolt right away.

2. Against slower deck u don´t need right away. It´s ok card to have at starting hand but not the top one.

If u already have core cards and u are in love with glyph u can keep it but I prefer more agressive mulligan.

Arcane Intellect: U can keep it if u already have core cards and u are sure that opponent has slow deck.

Eater of Secrets: Keep it against "secret mage" (that version with lots of secret (not just ice block and ice barrier)). Against "not-so-secret-heavy" mages u want to draw it later just to disable ice block and have satisfying lethal at the same turn:).
