Not only is this deck very good but a good crow turn can be game winning in itself and that is something the reminds me of flame waker in a good way. I really hope you guys at least give a try to this crow deck as It does defeat warlocks and shamans which is awesome.

I made a video showcasing the deck in action which I really hope you enjoy!

As a long time mage player since Beta i love this deck.

Feels a bit like the old tempo mech mage. I went  from 19 to 7 with this deck in a few hours after deceiding to give this expansion a serious chance. 

Having a lot of fun so far. I can only recommend this. 

Very nice! +1 

Swapped out a Breath of Sindragosa for an Arcane Explosion because I was running into a ton of Pally.

Its pretty good IF you draw Aluneth.
Without the draw its really bad.

No, you can substitute him for Leeroy Jenkins. Archmage Antonidas is basicaly your last hope

 Neat deck actually, seems to do really well against Baku Hunter, but has trouble when it comes to taking the board.

Hey folks, I've been playing this ladder from 12 to 14 and I just keep losing. I get destroyed by aggro deck very easily. Any idea of the mulligan and the goal of this deck?

Mulligan against aggro (specially paladins) decks : Arcane Missiles, Mana Wyrm, Arcnologist and if you get Mirror Image and/or Breath of Sindragosa and/or Primordial Glyph keep one of them to clear the inicial board

Mulligan against other decks: Mana Wyrm, Arcnologist, Sorcerer's Apprendice and Kirin Tor Mage

The goal of this deck is to have a big board on turn 4-6, because of Vex Crow and the strong inicial board you can make with Mana Wyrm and the use the spells to finish him. If you think it is necessary you can use the speels to board control.

Aluneth goal is to give your cards in the end game to reach Pyroblast on turn 10 or earlier. Only Mulligan Aluneth if you play second.

tip 1. do not waste burn on face if you need to save it for board control. that said in some games you might totally lose board and it is all about face... 

tip 2. mulligans, arcanlogist is the best card to have in your hand when opening, if you have arcanologist keep tor mage.. aluneth is also a keep, do not mulligan it away.. other cards you need to work out based on who you are playing, mana wyrm is pretty much alwasy a great turn 1 and should be kept as well

tip 3. do not play vex crow unless you can cast a spell immediately after... turn 4 crow no spell is a very bad play 

tip 4. do not play antonidus... imo opinion he is not a good card in this deck, he offers no tempo you cant play him early he is a dead card, if you play him late you have no spells, if you do have spells then that is because you've played aluneth.. in which case u really shouldn't need antonidus 

other cards to play instead of him, leroy jenkins, bloodmage thalnos, curio collector, id say even cold wraith would be better..

Man, if it is a Trump deck of course is a trash deck or was made for fun.
Don't copy paste Trump decks, u will have bad times with them.

Curio Collector is amazing in this. Didn't have Antonidas but if you play the collector when you're holding Aluneth it snowballs so quickly that most players don't have an answer to it.

The secret package is kind of weak right now. I don’t see a point in having it in this deck. It would be one thing if it had Ice Block but this doesn’t, so you’re left with some the weaker secrets like Frozen Clone [/card] and [card]Vaporize which rarely see play. I think this deck is far weaker than the Kobold's Secret Mage. Also there is no way to shut off the Aluneth 3 card draw, like we had withMedivh, so in longer matches you will fatigue. I was already at rank 10 before the new expansion and can't seem to get pass rank 9.

I think it makes more sense to run an aggressive Elemental Crow package, with minimal spells but cards with Battlecries that can get you spells or pull out spells like Raven Familiar. As it stands now the secret package hybrid decks are probably at best a Tier 3 borderline 2 deck.

have you played it? if you have then I don't see how you can have that opinion... explosive runes and coutner spell are so strong.. i mean 3 mana six damage... plus with tor mage it u get a 4/3 body as well, the value and tempo is insane.. 

secrets still seem very good in tempo decks for controlling board

ice block was very rarely needed in older secret mage anyway, ice block was most valuable for exodia and control.. 

It is exactly the same pack of secrets that we had 1 week ago in agro mage, and no one complained :)

Its aggro probably ? thx

Great deck! 7/3 from rank 13 to 11. Really fun to play as well! Thank you :)

This deck is insane im currently 14 wins 5 losses.

Thank you so much this deck is awesome!

Rank 25 - 0 stars.  I'm 9-0 currently, and beat Shudderwock, odd paladin, aggro hunters, and elemental mages.  Those arcane missiles were mvp against odd paladin.  Glyph into AoE if you can, as this deck lacks it.  I usually save a few low cost spells to make a good Crow turn.  Ca-caw!!!

No,  it's one of the key win-con within the deck. Allowing you to quickly go through your deck and burn your opponent down
