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.

This is such a fun deck. I love the curve. It's surprisingly good against aggro
Finally deck that i enjoy playing. Made 2 changes tho.
1. Water elemental -> Zilliax (that little heal in the mid game won me couple games against agro decks)
2. cobolt scalebane -> Gluttonous ooze ( mainly because i'm facing lot of druids and roques)
deck worked perfectly for me after those changes. EU rank 8 to 4 with only 3losses
I've also included Zilliax and Gluttonous Ooze to great effect; but I've cut 1x MCT and 1x Giggling...I don't like 2x Giggling because of all the counters in the meta, and MCT feels like 1 is enough. I'd never cut Scalebane tho, it's just a powerhouse, following something like a Tar Creeper with Coin...
Got to Legend yesterday with Spiteful Mage (played Deathrattle Hunter and Odd Quest Warrior about equally on the way too tho).
ah, jeez, I was responding to @Bilthur, completely missed you said the exact same thing already xD
Yeah, like you've said, Zilliax and Ooze were a great choice.
edit: just wanted to add, I feel like Coldwraith is always a keep against Quest Rogue, it's pretty hard for them to deal with it and it deals quite a bit of damage over a few turns usually.
This is a Troll. Don't feed him. If he's not, it's just a stupid asshole tryin to mess internet.
Otherwise it's just sick from the head or worse, a rank 10 Above player, these are the worse, their brains don't function well.
no have board clear
basicly if u put this neutral cards with DK hero and 2 x 10 mana spell that would fit any class xD
that was the reason they nerfed spitfull at the 1st place :D
very bad
I would sub 1 fungalmanger and one bloodknight for Luna’s Pocket Galaxy and Alexstrasza
Why? The only spells in the deck cost 10. Archmage at 1 won't give you 11 mana that turn. Luna's Pocket galaxy won't draw you more than 1 card a turn. Those cuts look like they would only hurt the deck.
You are totally right indeed I wanted to link Alexstrasza but I was thinking to freeze mage before answering here and I made confusion linking Antonidas ahahah xD
I don't have Prince Keleseth, any replacment or I really need ?
It is OG of the deck
Lmao.. I don't believe you got from Rank 3 to Legend with this deck. This deck is SLOW and relies on Spiteful Summoner (Obviously), which relies on the luck of the draw. And if you draw PyroBlast before Spiteful (Which seems to happen more often than not), it is worthless. Any taunt or armor heavy deck(Warrior/Druid) destroys this deck. Not enough stability to stay alive. Not enough damage to destroy other HEALTHY ( ;] ) minions. Even heavy aggro decks face you harder than you can face them. I'm just not buying it. (-_-)-Nope!
Sooooo what did you beat with this deck? lol
I meant really, not what you think it would beat.
Played this twice and both times had the pyros in my hand by turn 2.
played 5 games muligans pyros 1 got it back, 2 other times drew pyros by turn 5.. so 4/5 games spite was just a 4/4 7 drop. awesomeness!
Thank you for deck, rank 7 to 4 with %65, I will force to further...
38% win-rate would make more sense
