Hi guys.
I decided to go for legend with my Spiteful Mage and got stuck around rank 3. After making a few key changes I got to legend with a record of 15-3, so I'm sharing!
Update: Latest version has a few anti-aggro/meta techs, -Mind Control Tech, -Giggling Inventor, +Zilliax, +Gluttonous Ooze
Showcase (Thanks to kiwiinbacon)
Match-ups
+ Druid
+ Hunter (Kathrena deathrattle can be tricky though)
+ Pala
+ Shaman
~ Rogue (Baku can be tricky but any other is easy)
~ Warlock
- Mage (ouch)
- Warrior (but still winnable)
Mulligans
Basic mulligan: If you don't get Prince Keleseth in your starting hand, try to find enough 1-drops to play minions on both turn 1 and 2 (1x Fire Fly + 1x Argent Squire/Glacial Shard is ideal). If turns 1-2 are covered, keep one of the stronger 3 drops (Tar Creeper/Coldwraith) and so on.
Vs aggro: Keep a Tar Creeper no matter what.
Vs control (especially Druid): Keep one of the 5-drop minion boosters (Fungalmancer/Cobalt Scalebane).
Guide (in progress)
Before I go into deck-specific strats, I want to mention a few things about a couple of cards in the deck.
Coldwraith - This is the card that people have questioned the most. As I have posted in the comments, 90% of the time this card is played for the 3/4 body alone, and the draw should be seen as an added bonus if it happens. A strong curve is much more important than drawing, so never sacrifice tempo to set up a freeze combo for Coldwraith.
If you feel uncomfortable almost always missing the combo, there are several (untested) alternatives: Blackwald Pixie(double Jaina/normal ping), Nightmare Amalgam(Extra Jaina lifesteal), Vicious Fledgling(Probably too hard to defend), Thunder Lizard (probably good but inconsistent).
Frost Lich Jaina - Looking at the stats of the deck I see that 20% of people are holding on to Jaina in the mulligan. Jaina is not core to this deck, she is there as a Plan B to save you against aggro or in case you can't beat control mid-game. Spiteful Summoner is a better choice if you feel the need to hold on to something big.
If you feel Jaina isn't contributing enough, possible (untested) swaps are Zilliax, Bonemare or Arcane Dynamo
Feel free to experiment with the deck and post your results. I will add any user-made guides to the description.

Exactly that. I need 3 spells and preferably 4 when playing this kind of deck (never lucky...)
So far I climbed from Rank 5 to 3 with about 60 % win rate
Following my last comment, I played around 12 more games with this deck - it's OK but I really believe if you're going to play Spiteful you should play Spiteful Druid. At least the UI's still have some value at 10 mana rather than the pyros just being an expensive removal which delays your death by 1 turn. For reference, I was using the deck at rank 7 and ended up back at rank 9.
In this meta it's not strong enough against the fast aggro matchups. I was only able to survive until Jaina a handful of times.
Jesus, I've just DE'd a second copy of Spiteful Summoner :C
craft a new one LUL
KEK
I had such a great time playing this deck not only on stream but also in my off time, I absolutely had to make a second video on this beast. 100% give this a try, you will not regret it! I really hope you all enjoy
Wish I had the dust to make but it's been pretty unbeatable when I vs. it!
stop with the clickbait plz, don't write legend and play the deck at rank 5....
You're a pretty smart boy aren't ya? The one in the video is not him , It's a youtuber who makes videos about other people decks, he made a video about one of my decks too, so before you talk and accuse him of " omg clickbaiterino fk u" please do some research, thanks! :D
I got Rekt hard

Ouch XD thats some BS right there
And at 8 mana giggling inventor and blood Knight together have been to much to handle
Really good deck 4 games 4 wins so far
I love this deck, I just keep getting unlucky with drawing the pyros early. But great deck overall!
I like the deck but it's SUPER weak to aggro. And since aggro is all you see between rank 10-5 it hasn't really been playable unless you need a quick way to drop stars.
any replacement for 1 x Blood Knight
1 x Saronite Chain Gang
1 x Giggling Inventor
1 x Spiteful Summoner ?
Spiteful Deck with only 1x Spiteful?!?!..
Pick a other Deck, dude :D
I played Spiteful druid with one Ultimate Infestation once (was low on dust). It was pure hell.
i thought that it can makes trouble to going ooc
Maybe trying to add 2x Acolyth instead of the Coldwraith or Water Element???
