(Edit: LOOK AT COMMENTS FOR CARD SUBSTITUTES! I myself have swapped things around but as of right now will leave this version of the deck up as a vanilla version. I don't have an exact win rate, but this deck WORKS, I win about 7-8 out of 10 games. Just depends. This is my first ever deck published so feel free to critique or offer changes. ALSO with nerfs hitting things like Lunacy and Pen Flinger and Sword of the Fallen this deck will only get stronger! Also! Some common feedback I get is to exchange Arcane Intellect for something else, but it personally feel like it feels good in this deck for the draw mechanic, mind you there is a lot of draw in this deck, but more times than not being able to draw 2 on command has for sure helped)
Pally's and Lunacy Mage getting you down? Tired of the current Meta and want something different? Well, look no further. I've been working with this deck for a while. It's a total beast. The theme is spell damage, and can I just say Aegwynn, the Guardian is THE MOST SLEPT ON CARD in the game right now! She's crazy! Primordial studies into either her, Astromancer Solarian, or Bloodmage Thalnos, they'll pop up almost every time. AG's deathrattle is crazy! Just depends on where you are at in the game, in order it's a toss-up between her or AS, and generally BT last. I've dropped 3 AG's in one game before, lead to some crazy effects. I just took out a brain freeze and put in Kazakus because someone pointed out I have no 4 drops and you can always generate them through discover. Some people say cut babbling book but I find them extremely helpful. Might cut Jandice because of the nerf, wanna see how she plays out first. Same with Far Watch Post but I think it will suffice even at 3 health.
Mulligan: You'll go for Astromancer, Wand Thief, Primordial Studies, Far Watch Post, Runed Orb, honestly this deck is pretty good regardless of what you start out with because of the low costs cards.
Game plan: You'll be able to keep the board clear with cheap spells and spell damage, and you can discover spells to go face with if needed, believe it or not, the minions themselves have won me games by turn 6 because it's so easy to keep the board clear. You want to eventually get your Aegwynn out, if possible why not by turn 4 with Primordial Studies! This is my first time publishing a deck so bear with me, but you won't regret it! Expensive deck? YEAH. But you could probably cut or exchange out a few legendaries with other cards, Like I said I took out Brain Freeze for Kazakus, but the deck was working just fine before that, just do your best to keep the spell damage cards in place. I've gotten my spell damage up to +6 before no problem, and on more rare conditions even higher. Ras might be able to be cut, but I'm sure there will be times where you wish you had him in. Good luck guys!
Any replacements for Astromancer Solarian? (I dont have Evocation)
Lots of fun thanks for posting!
Don't have solarian, i replaced to Evocation...
Very interesting deck and promising. My problem is I always lose against Face Hunter. If anyone found the counter please do share.
I beat a face hunter earlier this evening. It was the first time I legitimately beat one.
Swap out those watch towers and get some board clearing spells like Combustion or Cone of Cold. Flamestrike is a great card but unfortunately comes into play way too late vs a fast-paced face hunter.
The trick is to either keep the entire board clear for as long as possible, because the rush minions and spells can do a ton of “leftover” damage against your hero if you leave a bunch of weak minions out.
Try swapping out Mankrik or Kazakus in favor of C’thun the Shattered, as there are a lot of great spells to either protect you (6/6 minion with taunt) or wipe out lots of weak minions or destroy a single powerful minion. Aegwynn is an important piece because she provides strong spell damage, and at 5/5, can take some punishment before your hero takes the rest.
Try and save your other spell damage minions for the “big finish”, or alternatively you may luck out and get C’thun who can do that for you.
Thank you! Good luck on ladder!
This is looking like a really good deck and makes me want to play mage again. Sadly I've only recently come back after a couple of years not playing so don't have a fair few of these. I don't have Kazakus, Ras, Jandice and Solarian and so I've put in flamestrike, Swamp Ooze (helps against DH, Pala & Warlock), Horde operative (secrets are still being used) and Lone Champion as taunt is desperately needed I've found.
I took out the watch posts as they were doing nothing and put in an Ethereal Conjurer and a combustion.
Currently at 4-3 but have had the worst luck with card draw! Any help would be appreciative as I haven't played in so long ha ha!
Hey man! Thanks for trying out my deck. The only legendary out of those 4 I would say you should def has is Solarian, other than that feel free to change out the other 3 as you see fit! Sorry that doesn't necessarily help I'm trying to figure out the best version of it myself!
Fun deck to try. I'm thinking about replacing Mankrik with C'thun the Shattered, and replacing the watch posts with either Cone of Cold or Combustion. As stated before I don't think the FWP's are much of a factor in late-game draws, and is far less important having extra board clearing potential (particularly grouped with a high SP bonus). Especially against paladins that like to buff early and often.
Thanks for trying it! After playing as many games with it as I have I definitely saw room for changes. I actually took Kazakus out as I felt he was too slow. Simply replaced him with a fireball and things are going well.
Very solid deck...started 7-0 win streak, now 16-13...55% winrate...this deck crushes no minion mages, got nice card generation and tempo...having some problems with hunters and paladins (devolving is a must on mulligan), but overall, I'm having a blast...
Thanks for playing it! It means a lot that people are having fun with it. I actually ran into someone else on ladder playing it and that made me ecstatic. I think there is a lot of potential for it, a few things might need to be switched out. I took out Kazakus and put in a fireball because he feels too slow imo, started winning a bit more because of it. Might even take out a FWP and put another damage spell like Mask of C'Thun or another fireball
Interesting deck.
Thank you!
Loving this deck so far... 6-0 from diamond 5 to diamond 3 at the moment. I made a few changes (since I don't have Jandice Barov or Keywarden Ivory), but it's mostly the same deck. I've beaten a token druid, face hunter, aggro secret paladin, and 2 control warlocks so far among the 6 games, so it can do well against seemingly most of the decks seeing a lot of play right now.
Jandice and Ivory are the only cards I'm missing as well. What did you replace them with?
same here. listening to suggestions
I've tried a few things, Sorcerous Substitute is a bit greedy but can work really well at times, you can also just put in another Arcane Intellect or Brain Freeze if you want, which is pretty much what I did.
Thanks for trying it out glad you're having fun! Definitely room for changes in this deck, I almost see this version as the vanilla version as I myself have made changes to it. Should I keep updating the deck as I make changes? Or does that make things more confusing? Sorry I'm new to this site.
Big fan. I made a deck similar to this but with the hero power as another win condition. And yes Aegwynn is fantastic in this deck. I love babbling book especially when it gets the Aegwynn buff and I start slinging fireballs. The burst is real.
