40/60 at best scenario.

I was mulligan for cheap undertaker, loot hoarder etc. but now trying for secrets and mana Wyrm. I'm struggling against warlock and shamans. 8 wins and 8 losses. Tempted to put a KT in.

sorry nerd f***ed the reply 

i might be wrong but I look for both wyrm and undertaker. If one of either was in my hand I look for their buddy cards. mad scientist in my opener works too sometimes.

i also keep good cards for a particular match. Frostbolt against priest etc.

the other thing that gets people with decks like this, is just dropping cards on the board. You gain tempo by playing cards together. PTurn 6 undertaker followed by a belcher is pretty sweet sometimes. I  will hold wyrm against priest, so that I can play it and coin frostbolt at a northshire cleric/chow/undertaker/injured blademaster that I know is in their hand.

oh, and don't play duplicate blindly. suiciding a loot hoarder, on your turn, so that you duplicate hits sludge belcher For example. Or not playing duplicate when all you have is an undertaker.. Blah blah.

Nerdflanders will give you better advice, but this will hold you over and help'em see your reply to the question below. 

That was a pretty accurate answer by DoctorGreenThumb! If you have further questions ask me (or him) :-P

Cheers for for the advice. I'm doing pretty much everything you've said, including the duplicate already but still struggling. Maybe I'm just getting incredibly unlucky. My mulligans have almost always never given me a 1 or 2 mana cost minion (4-5 times max). The opponent always seems to have an answer for whatever I play. 13 wins, 13 losses. Will still persevere with it though as it's a fun deck when you get the curve!

I'm moving between ranks 10-11, with 9:12 losing to paladins, hunters mostly... I had to replace counterspells with additional 1x Duplicate and 1x Bloodmage Thalnos... do you have any other sugestions or tips?

Put the Counterspell again into the deck and cut 1-2x Mirror Entity off. Bloodmage Thalnos is imo a useless card in this deck. You need to get a feeling which card the enemy will play out next. I can very often Counterspell a Unleash the Hounds and other big threats. Vs Paladins (who have heals) you have to go allin otherwise you will probably loose.

Thanks for the reply, my problem is I cant craft Counterspells, trying to save dust for Cairne... Any other possible replacements?

Which secrets do you have?

I have every secret twice except Counterspell and Spellbender which are unfortunately the best I think...Just replaced Bloodmage Thalnos with Cairne Bloodhoof and kept 2x Mirror Entity.

Glad others are having success with a mage deck finally. Stuck at rank 14 sadly; getting bad mulligans! 6 wins and 6 losses for myself. struggling to control board!

Whats your mulligan strategy? Vs which class do you have problems?

i am on a huge tear with this deck the curve is insanely good i replace loatheb with ciarne it works better for me such a good deck mage is back!

Hi Crxer,

It's up to you. I would rather replace Ragnaros the Firelord with Cairne Bloodhoof than Loatheb. Especially because alot of players will use BGH again after the nerfs.

Thank you Impro, you're welcome! :-)

How do you not utilize his ability? If you have minions on the board and want to protect them play Loatheb. If you suspect he's carrying removal, play Loatheb. Play him alone and you'r utilizing his ability, you often can't be sure that he's done anything but he's a 5-5 and he never hurts to play.

I made an account to tell you

I 

Love

You.

Rank 8 - 3 with 5 losses..

Aww... You're welcome!

I love you too <3
