Heeeeeey everybody, I present my second deck of this month and it's my new Ping Mage ! With this deck I haved win against all meta decks (my nemesis is quest hunter). I don't have traker decks but I assure you that I had very good results ! I play this deck from diamond rank 5 to 1 and I sincerely believe that it can reach the legend rank :)
MULLIGAN :
The main objective of the deck is to win with the Mask of C'Thun + Grey Sage Parrot + Magister Dawngrasp which will cast the important spells to win. Objectively, it is possible to play 3 Devolving Missiles, 5 Mask of C'Thun, 3 Ice Block and 3 Wildfire . Fire Sale is there in case of emergency or to draw. It should be noted that Research Project does not belong to any school, it is a neutral spell.
Against Priest (resurrection)/Handbuff Paladin/Taxes Paladin : Devolving Missiles is a very good choice in the start of the game. For the priest Archmage Vargoth is not the priority for the missiles, the priority are the first big minions, then he'll reanimate servants he doesn't want to have ;)
Against War Pirates/Shadow Priest : Wildfire to destroy the first minions. Amplified Snowflurry + Pyromaniac to stall and draw at the same time. Spirit of the Dragonhawk is a very broken card against Warrior with Wildfire or Arcane Amplifier ! Reckless Apprentice is a good choice if you also have Wildfire. The deck really has the resources to slow him down and hurt him, only if he is very aggressive it will be more difficult.
Against Quest Hunter : I think the strategy is to put as much pressure as possible on him with our damage cards. Later on, we hope to have taken a lot of life points away from him to beat him. Wildfire, Arcane Amplifier, Mask of C'Thun and inevitably the ultimate card : Ice Block ! Mordresh Fire Eye or Clockwork Automaton can be enough to finish the game.
Against OTK Decks : Like the hunter, I think we need to put pressure and rely on our Ice Block to defeat him with our damage.
If some decks bother you, come and say so in the comments and I'll try to do my best to help you !
TIPS :
1. Daring Fire-Eater + Reckless Apprentice doesn't work the way we think it does. The first shot will do 3 damages but the following ones will only do 1, so be careful !
2. Against War Pirates, Amplified Snowflurry can freeze the opponent's weapon if it bothers you too much !
3. It is important to avoid playing Research Project against a hunter who has almost no cards left in his hand, so he is limited in resources ! Same tip against War Pirates.
Maybe I'll have some more tips in a while. If you have found any tips, please share them !
What deck would you like me to create ?

Terrible deck, cant get through any of meta decks rn
You don't know how to play the deck. I've beaten all the best opposing decks with it, the problem is not the deck but the way you play. Thanks for your negative vote, happy new year.
I always found myself needing draw with this deck so I got rid of one Daring Fire-Eater and one Spirit of the Dragonhawk in exchange for Bloodmage Thalnos and a Loot Hoarder. It's worked really well for me. Great deck.
If it works, great ! I personally think it unbalances the deck. Bloodmage Thalnos is only useful for picking, against aggro decks it will be useless unfortunately ;)
Would Golakka Crawler be good in this deck?
Hi man ! Golakka Crawler is a good idea, BUT ! It's a good tech card. Against the warrior it's great, but the card is dead against all other decks, that's why I didn't include it. This is also why the deck can beat almost anything (more hard against quest hunter for example), because it is optimized for it.
Thanks for your idea :)
Is Brann too greedy? i changed one fire sale for him because i think it fits well into the deck, but i haven't used him enough to tell it's worth the cut.
Hi ! I made a lot of changes before arriving at this well-balanced version, including Brann. Yes, it doesn't fit that well, for a while in the game it's a dead card. Finally, it is only useful at the end of the game, against war pirate and others, it's not possible :)
version for standard?
There are standard versions of this deck ;)
example?
Well... in the standard category ! You will find this deck in standard also on the site :)
