Won this on my second try!
========================================
Play as a more aggressive OTK Mage, don't be afraid to drop Open the Waygate early if you don't have Archmage Antonidas or one of your Sorcerer's Apprentice.
MULLIGAN:
Mulligan for Babbling Book or Primordial Glyph, restart if you do not have either of these cards in hand.
STRATEGY:
•Push for lots of minions against Ragnaros and try to ignore face damage against him, or else he will transform into Ahune and give you the hurt.
•Drop Ice Block AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! Ragnaros has double Fireball and Lava Burst and will use it to burn your face. Don't rely on Ice Barrier to save you as he will ignore attacking with his minions to do face damage with his spells.
•Try to remove his Flamewalker quickly or else he will burn you even faster. It is worth the Polymorph to remove it.
•His only bigger minions are Blazecaller, Fire Elemental, and Pyros. Save your freezes for these if you can, or hope you get lucky with Cabalist's Tome.
========================================
Good luck to all who try this deck!
its even more easy without the mage quest...tssssskkkkkkk....
Perfect deck for this TB, thanks for sharing, EZ win on the 1st try.
Thanks!
Nice one, wouldn't have thought about this deck, flew through first try, and got a Cairne Bloodhoof in my pack. Happy days!
Thanks, and congrats!
Good idea to play quest mage for this brawl, also took me 2nd try because I forgot how to play quest mage and got my apprentices killed. Not too sure on your play advice though...play as aggro mage? That made me play the apprentice hah. Play as normal quest mage. Also wasnt sure what you meant by 'dont be afraid to drop the quest early'. Do you mean you try to hold it for those cards? Or do you mean mulligan it? I dont see a reason to do either. The clock on you is fairly slow so just draw cards, assemble combo, stall and then otk.
I tried this combo deck 6 times, 4 of the 6 I ended up not having 1 or 2 Sorcerer's Apprentice or my Archmage Antonidas by the time I had completed the quest. If you drop the quest a bit early even without those cards (and with a bit of luck) you can still draw into the combo or into something equally as strong with Cabalist's Tome.
If you don't have Open the Waygate, Leyline OTK Mage works well too. Took me a few tries to pull it off though. They have a lot of burn and like to kill you turn 8ish if you don't draw well.
Dog's works: AAECAf0EBu0F+wzN6wLaxQKm8AK4CAyW5AKKAZYF+wGcApjEAuYEqwTLBLnRAq4DyQMA although I would suggest swapping a Cone of Cold for Ice Block if you have it. Bloodmage Thalnos can be swapped for the Ice Block as well
