After aproximately 1 month playing almost exclusively Highlander Mage (reaching 1000 wins in the process, yay) and having tried all sorts of variations of deck Ive this one the most consistent and reliable against most of the decks out there.

It has a couple more draws with Bloodmage Thalnos and Starscryer and one more early removal with the Icicle (can work as card draw too). My biggest concern with most of the decks out there was running out of cards and not having enough early removal. These 3 additions were key to make the deck successful.

 

 

The point of the deck is very simple, you either clear all stuff against aggro or stall until you can pull the Archmage Antonidas (you can pull 3 fireballs consistently) in combination of the cheap spells + Alexstrasza (Thalnos and two fireballs  > 14 damage. It beats all the slimy priests out there unless they get really damn lucky.

 PS. You might notice that some of the "usual" cards are missing and for a good reason. 90% of the games the Tortollan Pilgrim was absolutely useless, and just a drawback against aggro. Same goes for Deep Freeze. They are just too expensive for what they end up doing most of the time. The extra secret is usually not useful either, as people play around it and you end up taking the damage to the face making it two wasted cards.

UPDATES!

Made some changes in the deck to match the somewhat slower meta after the July patch. Running Counterspell instead of Ice Barrier (this is still a bit of an experiment. Added also Deep Freeze to give the Dragoncaster more juice and Frizz Kindleroost, to allow the Dragonqueen to still be OP, and well we have a bunch of dragons so its always nice to have then discounted. Thinking about adding the Tortollan in the deck too.
