Why is there no fallen hero?
How is this deck supposed to draw cards?? Book of spectres isn't enough.
Yayy Varden!
Edit: Not sure how to delete a comment, posted something dumb. Misremembered primordial glyph for shadow visions. It's been a couple years since I've played :)
Nice deck, but i can see some issues.
Book of specters can just dicard Wildfire, i presume that's an important card, right?
7 dragons are not a safe number if you want to safely activate firetree witchdoctor on 2, by the way, netherspite historian is a much better card than firetree witchdoctor. 7 dragons are also pretty low number to abuse Frizz Kindleroost (a bad card by the way).
Frost giants seems super slow and weak, i mean, darkglare com put 30+ stats on board on turn 4.
I found few problems when i created this deck and that was lack of cards. There isn't enough good even cards, let alone good even hero power cards, that could fill the deck. There are 3 versions of Even Mage decks that could be played: Highlander Even Mage, Dragon Even Mage and Elemental Even Mage.
With Highlander Even Mage i would have to sacrifice too much consistency (including one less Wildfire and one less Reckless Apprentice) who are staple in this deck, also this version of deck will be targeted by Bad Luck Albatross, card that will be played in most of the decks.
With Dragon Even Mage i was going with Frizz Kindleroost that would lower mana cost for most of the dragons in decks (number of good Dragons with even cost is very low, that is why there is such a low amount of them in a deck), however main target here is Coldarra Drake. If we buff hero power twice, then it will deal 3 damage. With lower costed Coldarra Drake and with 3 damage hero power, on turn 10 we could deal 21 damage to enemy face. There is even option of adding Conjure Mana Biscuit for saving the mana for possible OTK combo. I have added Book of Specters for two reasons. First reason is that we are running Starscryer with whom you want to target your Wildfire in the early game, however you need to have at least one more spell for targeting (in case you draw Wildfire). The second reason is that we need draw, especially when you use Frizz Kindleroost, you want to benefit as much as possible from lowered mana cost, it is true that you can discard Wildfire, however in deck of 30 cards that is low risk that we could take.
Lastly we have an Elemental Even Mage, which is maybe even better than Dragon Even Mage. There is a small package of spell power based even cards: Imprisoned Phoenix, Astromancer Solarian, Cosmic Anomaly and Cram Session. However for this group of cards to be effective, we need more spell cards, which is counter productive if we use Starscryer for early Wildfire. The other useful or semi useful Elemental cards are: Pyros, Confection Cyclone, Water Elemental, Arcanosaur, Circus Amalgam, Fantastic Firebird, Ragnaros the Firelord, Primordial Protector, Tol'vir Stoneshaper and Grand Finale. It is interesting having combination of Primordial Protector and Grand Finale in a deck. Maybe there a way of playing like that , i am not sure yet. I don't think Even Mage will be meta for now or anything like that, it can't even come close to Darkglare Warlock level of power, however at least it is lifted from the ground. Now it just needs to wait for more even hero power support, but also for more good even cost dragons or elementals.
When it comes to Frost Giant, it has good synergy with Reckless Apprentice. If you go against aggro with full board you can lower Frost Giant really quickly. Unfortunately Frost Giant is not an elemental. That is wasted opportunity.
