The Hearthstone Deck I am focusing on this time around is Odd Mage. It is a really good deck that I don't think gets enough attention because of the DOMINANCE of Hunter, Paladin, and Priest. It is a solid aggro deck that can also play as a somewhat control if it needs to due to its hero power and some of the spells. It has a great late game because it is the only class with access to Ragnaros, which previously was deemed to OP to see play but now is available for 7 mana... The deck revolves around good 3 drops and decent spells and the deal 2 damage hero power that can combo with some other cards to do super large amounts of damage out of nowhere (Clockwork, Daring Fire Eater, Hero Power for 8 damage).
Matchups: It is fast enough to deal with control decks a lot of the time (primarily Priest either Control or Clone) and has direct damage so it can beat warlock as well. Play these matchups as fast as you can and hold nothing back (especially the 3/4 cause it can usually survive removal). Into Hunter you can bait out some secrets with small minions and this deck will get a buff when the Spellstone is nerfed cause it has always been somewhat difficult to deal with (although not impossible with cards like cinderstorm and if you have a counterspell). Paladin is rough but keeping Cinderstorm and Arcane Missiles is a good keep to deal with wide boards into odd, and your fast pace beats most control and OTK Paladins.
Mulligans: Keep at least a 1 drop (maybe more) and potentially some 3 drops as well. If you have Tor Mage and a secret keep that for sure for the extra value but if not many of the other 3 drop minions will be just fine due to their pretty good stats and abilities. You can also keep the dragonhawk into control if you want because it is a lot of surprise burst damage on 7 (or 6 with coin) and forces them to have removal. Into aggro though don't keep it but DO keep spells like arcane missiles and cinderstorm to help against wide boards and let your hero power clean up the rest.

Guide:
nice cancer deck, easy to operate and lots of burst damage
Great deck. Playing at rank 5 with about 55% winrate. I wonder if there's place for Zola the Gorgon?
Playing simmilar version of this. Great deck vs combo decks and hunters, odd paly is 50/50, but odd warrior and druid are nightmare matchups. Like, if you play vs odd warrior you might as well concede, cause you'll be running out of steam before you even go below his 20hp...
I recommend throwing in tar creeper, it's a powerful card to protect your board vs odd paladin or even shaman (although I didn't face the latter that man times).
First, luckily the bad matchups are like NEVER seen (or very rarely). Also, what suggestions do you have that I take out?
I have a hunter deck and I’m stuck on rank 5. Did anyone make it to legend with this deck?
I used this deck and midrange hunter and even shaman (before nerf) to climb all with 55% or better winrates. So yeah this deck can get you there especially after the other nerfs
Any good replacement for Leeroy Jenkins?
Maybe a wolfrider for a little extra burst?
You could user either Argent Commander or Reckless Rocketeer
That said it’s a good idea to craft Leeroy if you can. This card can be used in many aggro decks. It also belongs to the Classic set so it won’t be rotated out any time soon.
Hey these cards are EVEN bro :) Wrong recommendation...
aggro mage is perfect for those that dont wanna think and play around taunts etc. ohh a taunt what should i do? well go face cause charge minions cant exist but spells to face can without any counter defence to it. ahahah bunch of bozos
This deck has literally 0 spells in it which can target face
Any raplacement for Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk ?
This is a big card that greatly increased my winrate on its own, but if you need to replace it I would go with perhaps a blackwald Pixie. It can be played earlier if needed but can also be played on 7 for 4 damage with your hero power which is still decent.
OMG I LOVE THIS deck! First deck I've ever played that got me to rank 10. Have had luck with other decks but I would tend to get bad draw luck streaks. Almost giggling playing priests with this one. I wonder how pissed they are getting. Especially the quest priests. They are too busy trying to keep themselves alive to play enough deathrattle minions. lol.
Honestly, I will say that this is in my top like 3 decks in the past year or so of playing this game, probably top 2. This deck is honestly so fun to play, isn't broken but still good (ok minus Han'alai XD), and requires more thinking than a normal aggro deck cause there are control options as well. LOVE IT
Enjoying the deck. Very effective. I don't have Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk, so I'm using Death Knight Jaina instead. She's not a great fit, but she's saved me in some games.
Oh, and with no Luna, I added an Arcane Intellect. Bit slow, but sometimes you need the draw.
I don't have Luna either and the winrate was still about 56%. I ran a Blackwald so that way I would still get the minion pressure and some extra damage. Jaina could be decent in this deck with some of the hero power buffs but not as good no XD.
I'll probably get downvoted into oblivion for saying this, but this deck is basically Yulsic's Odd Mage which was posted a couple of months ago by the admins in some spotlight, either off-meta or tounament, don't remember which.
I'm not saying that the poster claiming credit for the deck, but I think we need to give credit where its due.
u cant have credit for a deck , when cards are made blizzard already know wich deck poeple will play , there is no creation behind each fking deck , this is a children card game
