Dear All, 

this is the Khadgar HighIander Mage I used to climb from Diamond 4 to Legend on April 10 and 11.

33 games, 22 wins and 11 Losses with a 66% WR.

Very favoured against Big Druid and Galakrond Warlock. DH can be a hard match-up if they run an aggressive version of the deck. 

Mulligan:
During the mulligan, I usually try to go for the value early game cards, including Arcane Breath, Ray of Frost, Zephrys the Great, Doomsayer, Astromancer Solarian, Overconfident Orc, Arcane Manasaber and even Dragoncaster against certain slower decks such as Priest, Druid and Rogue.

Khadgar:
While Khadgar should always be used in combo with Deep Freeze, Power of Creation or to certain extent Conjurer's Calling it is fair to drop it on turn 2 against very aggressive decks to have a body on the board. 

Dragoncaster:
I usually try to keep Twilight Drake in hand to always have a Combo enabler, even if I don't have Dragon Caster or Malygos, Aspect of Magic in hand. Dragoncaster into Deep Freeze, Power of Creation or Conjurer's Calling on turn 6 is a huge power play and should be exploited whenever possible. 

Match-ups:
Gala Warlock (easy): very straightforward match-up, they only have 3 win conditions: Gala board, Dragonqueen Alexstrasza and Zephrys the Great. You have 3 big board removals: Zephrys the Great, The Amazing Reno and Reno the recologist. Use your board removals wisely and they will run out of plays.

Ress priest (easy to medium): Incredibly boring match-up but you have the tools to outvalue your opponent. Play slowly and don't overcommit your board.

Big Druid (medium): let them ramp, use freeze wisely while they build a board and then wipe it out with your removals.

Tempo DH (hard): you have to stall the game as soon as possible. Don't be afraid to drop a turn 2 Doomsayer or Khadgar. Overconfident Orc and and Rustseed Raider are your friends here, however remember they have a way to overcome taunts. If you manage to drop Deep Freeze on a DH empty board freezing their face, game is easily over.
