Guys, you're the most supportive bunch of ppl I've ever seen anywhere (other than one or two of my pet rat groups I must admit!)
I had the shittiest day yesterday - I had to euthanise my rat who I had named after my grandmother (who meant more than the world to me) - some ppl think "oh, just rats", but they're pretty my children. So yeah, I just wanted to get my mind off things after a shitty day and ended up just getting blasted non-stop.Unfortunately for me I'm on the ASD spectrum a bit - and it's probably not even related - but I tend to beat my head against a wall metaphorically speaking when something is kicking my ass. Like I'd just keep going back to ranked because even though I've been playing for a month and played probably 400 games, NO ONE should have such a stinking run as I'm having.
I looked through all the tier 1-3 metadecks and the most I had of any of them were 13-14 cards. I started replacing the cards with kind of similar ones, but I felt I really started to lose the synergy of what the decks were designed for. I then did a tonne of searching and found an FTP Mage deck that looked decent.

I was able to switch in what I thought was a number of really good cards so was feeling confident about getting some wins - but yeah.I ended up building this:
### FTP Mage
# 1x (0) Shifting Scroll
# 2x (1) Arcane Missiles
# 1x (1) Mana Wyrm
# 2x (2) Frostbolt
# 1x (2) Frostwolf Grunt
# 1x (2) Pyros
# 2x (3) Arcane Intellect
# 1x (3) Black Cat
# 2x (3) Stonehill Defender
# 2x (4) Ancient Brewmaster
# 2x (4) Fireball
# 2x (4) Polymorph
# 2x (4) Vex Crow
# 1x (5) Bonfire Elemental
# 1x (5) Cobalt Scalebane
# 2x (5) Gurubashi Berserker
# 1x (6) Archmage
# 1x (6) Blizzard
# 1x (6) Spellweaver
# 2x (7) Flamestrike
Yea, like others said, cut Shifting Scroll, Frostwolf Grunt, Gurubashi Berserker, Archmage, Spellweaver, Stonehill Defender and Ancient Brewmaster.
Chillwind Yeti was at a time considered one of the best cards in the game. At 4/5 for 4 mana, it has premium stats. The same for Boulderfist Ogre. Water Elemental is very decent as well, so include 2x copies of those in your deck. That still should leave you needing 4 cards. Mirror Image can be very decent to buff and protect Mana Wyrm and Vex Crow of even Ogres later in the game, preventing the opponent from trading into them. Actually I think you can keep Stonehill Defender in the deck if you don't find anything better. Like you said, sometimes it gives you a lot of crap, but sometimes it gives you a Lich King.
Cobalt Scalebane is really good. Pyros can be transformed or silenced, yes, but it's a pretty big threat if it doesn't. Keep it in the deck. Black Cat is decent, most people will be scared of Mage getting Spellpower and will attempt to prioritize removing it, which is good, it's less removal for your other good minions.

I used to run Mana Wraith when I started out and getting swarmed by zoo decks ;)

Won first time, priest has to buff the shaman's minions. Use sideshow spelleater as shaman after the priest plays Justicar.
The lightbane sister was MVP and the windlord buffed was the finisher. Priest was on fatigue at the end.

Void Terror

I'm using Selfless Hero which beats Mind Blast priest, so any 2/1 for 1 probably will.

My Aunt made 200 lira a day last week from working at home on her laptop! She is MILF though and will do anything.

Anyone else noticed that, you get a bonus star for winning 2 in a row instead of 3 in a row now (at least at rank 15)

How about "Miracle: 10 mana - when your hero takes fatal damage, restart the game without this card in your deck" ;)
"Bad Manas: 0 mana - whenever your opponent plays a card, emote 'Wow' automatically. Whenever you play a card, emote 'Greetings' automatically" EDIT: Whenever an opponent squelches, deal 5 damage to them (and emote 'Greetings')

Nein. Mein Deutch ist sehr schlecht.

He also had a forgotten torch which is also now unavailable. So drafted before the bans came in.

sum(1 to n) = n(n+1)/2
sum(a to n) = sum(1 to n) - sum(1 to a-1) = n(n+1)/2 - (a-1)a/2
