This is an adaptation of the Witchwood Elemental Mage. The deck has three avenues to victory:
First, you can get off to a quick start with Book of Specters into Mountain Giant on turn three or four. Or otherwise, if you manage to get ahead on board in the early game, compund the issue with elemental synergy (damage and draw effects, mostly).
Secondly, you can win the long game with Frost Lich Jaina. As opposed to Big Spell Mage, which relies heavily on the opponent playing minions for her to turn into Water Elementals, this deck can churn out life stealing elementals proactively after turning into DK.
Thirdly, I've put in a package built around Luna's Pocket Galaxy, with Grand Archivist for potential high roll (getting draw three off the Archivist is no disaster, either), and a few high cost minions to take advantage of the effect. The thought is not to build the deck too reliant on this effect though, and so it is not too heavy with mega minions.
Meteorologist and Astromancer might be terrible. But if they're ever not terrible, it's probably in a deck like this. So let's find out!
Anyways, thoughts and feedback greatly appreciated. Will be testing and adapting this sometime just after the expansion drops, seeing if I can make it work.
Replacement for Stargazer Luna ?
It's kind of difficult to suggest one when it's such a huge combo for this deck.
The value from first playing Luna's Pocket Galaxy and then Stargazer Luna to fill the board with huge 1 cost minions is just too much.
hi.. may u guide me what is the grand archivist for? other than that, this seems good!
thank you for your reply wiggy!
which mulligan do you recommend?
2nd time playing it, grand archivist casts book of spectres and throws away pocket glaaxy, I've yet to actually use pocket galaxy...
counterspelled and discarded.
too much anti synergy.
First game at rank 24, loss to a tempo mage, lmfao.
They werent even using new cards, just regular tempo mage.
I really hope to open the mage legendaries just to test this deck, seriously.
i got both LUL
Thanks for crossing fingers mate but I only got the warrior legendaries :-(
Did you already try your mage deck? :-)
Is it worth crafting both?
It’s hard to play
What is the role of the Grand archivist on the deck?
I got it, I'll start using it on other decks, since I usually use a lot of magic during my ranks, thanks for the explanation and compliments.
So how bad will it feel when I book of spectres my pocket galaxy away? :(
-2 Book of Spectres
-2 Meteorologists
-2 Astromancers
+2 Raven Familiar
+2 Servant of Kalimos
+1 Archmage Arugal
+1 Doomsayer
You already have enough value with your elementals, you don't need to worry so much about card draw as you do about drawing LPG specifically. Raven Familiars will get the job done guaranteed if it's the only spell in your deck (unless you're playing against spiteful druid, but you're running grand arch too).
Additions of Servants and Archmage can help keep hand full for max impact on giants. Astromancer and Meteorologist are terrible.
I honestly didn't think about counterspell, but another way around that is:
-1 glacial shard
-1 doomsayer (from my post above)
-2 Mountain Giants
+2 Shimmering Tempest
+2 Steam Surger
Adds in spells that aren't in your deck to take care of counterspell. Used 4 of them total to add consistency and additional removal. IMO don't need giants - they don't play into elemental synergy and feel out of place.
Yup, first game legit got wrecked by counterspell.
It's just an instant loss.
Book of Specters is crucial in this deck. It's for post Luna's Pocket Galaxy to draw you 3 minions that cost 1 mana each. You kind of missed the point of the deck with your changes. Yours is a different spin on a fun deck. Also, I get the feeling people saying Meteorologists are bad havent played one against agro decks with a large hand.
I dont think leyline manipulator makes too much sense withouth spellstone and stonehill, still looks fun
