Very fun and powerful!
Idea for this deck came from fact, that discover pull of the Mage became pretty insane with latest mini-set. Having lots of fun and wins on lower rate accounts, and will be testing it soon on high ranks. But already deck seems to be very powerful due to meta. And it is widely opened for additions ideas.
Winconditions:
+ Main strategy is to ping your opponent by any means necessary. Your ping becomes insane with time. Like any classic Ping Mage.
+ Another main strategy is to find the answer for any situation. Early game or late game. Vs aggro or control. This deck has it all. If you are lucky.
+ Lor'themar Theron is amazing addition to the deck, because it consists of minions. Just throw it on 7 and win ;)
+ Overall this deck is not simple. Because you very much need to understand matchup and situation on board. This deck is all about you are making decisions during games.
Fun!
I dunno about you, I'm having most fun in HS over 6+ years from discovers. From wins ofc too, but discovers can be so lucky and amazing. So this deck is the pure fun for me.
Possible additions.
+ I noticed right now there are lots of decks with Rivendare win condition. So maybe it is good to add Steamcleaner. Coroner also sometimes do it. Or add more silence.
+ If you face lots of combo decks just add Theotar.
+ Maybe this can be good with Mage Quest, I'm not sure yet.
+ Kalecgos often comes to my mind... Because it is discover too and is very hard to remove.
+ Energy Shaper disappointed me as i tried it. But hey, if you are too lucky, perhaps you really want to transform your spells.
+ Because this deck is control-longgame style, you can use some expensive things. Like Mutanus, Sylvanas etc.
+ Often it feels like Reno deck. Maybe you can successfully make it and tell me in comments.
Have fun!

Added Aegwynn instead of Multicaster. You don't need draw with this deck ever. Either you discover it or just hand is always full. But Aegwynn can be very useful in control matchups. Not sure though, lack time for much testing.
It's a fun deck and it has great potential, but as with all rng decks it's inconsistent. I face a lot of pay to win decks with very powerful combos or just great survivability and for those decks you need to have something you can count on. I have 2-3 as I'm writing this. Last time I lost against a druid who got to 20 mana and finished with Brann + 2x Astalor.
wait, so you're telling me that a casino mage deck that's is built around getting random spell is inconsistent?? there is no way that's true wow
How about Sire Denathrius (survivability more than finisher, plus you do have a bunch of minions), Taelan Fordring (as it's an xl deck - pull sire for infuse, if in hand get your magister or mordresh), and Brann Bronzebeard just because you have tons of battlecries?
Sorry, didnt see your post. Yeah, seems like Sire can be good addition. Taelan, not sure though... About Brann, well i tried some of that, but i didnt saw much situation where you need more value with this deck. So i put away Brann, as well as Zola experiments... But i see the world where they can fit for sure. Cant test all that right now, cuz playing on other accounts. Still, nice viable ideas! Cheers!
Brann is actually quite useful. Even if his usefulness is situational I'd like to have him rather than a card that gives a random spell that might be useless. For example, you can play him with Astalor and get an extra copy, Magister or Lor'Themar for some extra value. If you play him with a discover card you also get back the value from the card you threw out.
He's also amazing with Nagalings since they only cost 1 mana, not to mention Reckless Apprentice who has the potential to clear the board if you upgraded your hero power.
Glad they fixed Frost DK today. Now it's only absurdly OP. Thanks for the deck, though. It is fun to play, while I try to get this mage quest done.
Glad you have fun! GGs!
Lor'themar Theron = a turn 7 win? More like a hard pass.. How late game are you trying to play here? 20 turn? Trying to buff crappy minions at late game? Sorry but no...
Actually from the few times I played him it does actually make a difference, in the end game the opponent is already running out of steam and then you suddenly start dropping 8/8 School teacher or 2/6 venomous scorpid. It may not look like much, but it does make a difference
Dude, its a hard pass when you under pressure. Like vs aggro or combo shit. Yes ofc i agree and you are totally right. For those situations. But in control matchups which is very often, its most likely win. Because you get too much value stats + discovers. Its even winwin you can say. Or even gigawin o.O
Kalecgos and Energy Shaper are trash, Reno is a meme. I recently disenchanted one of my Prismatic Elementals because it was golden and I needed the dust, I suppose I can replace it with a Steamcleaner as it's mostly a meme card anyway. This could be a fun deck, and like you said, theothar and mutanus can be here. Not sure about sylvanas since you dont go all in on skeletons, but why not. I love this kind of mage but like half of the cards are meme that can be replaced for more skeleton package and kelthuzad, which will make sylvanas even better, plus potentially famished fool vs multicaster then. Idk, these decks are fun, but I haven't climbed out of gold with such a deck ever for a reason.
Ohnos, man, Prismatic seems to be too OP... Dunno about replacing them. I would replace maybe Teacher or one-drop then.
Well Steamcleaner is not very meme already, because we see meta shifting. And maybe after rotation there will be even more Rivendare decks. Also it helps against Kazakusan, which is rare, but is case too sometimes. Still for now i agree, Steamcleaner depends on what are you facing mostly in your personal meta.
About Theo and Mutanus, Kelthuzad... Im not sure anymore of what i wrote in description. Since then i had some tests, and this deck too often behave like just classic Ping Mage. And too often i notice situation when there were not enough discovers for my Rommath on curve. So i think now adding even more discovers, like Pandaren Importers instead of somth...
I was saying the Prismatic Elementals are meme, they are not strong whatsoever, countless times wasted my turns and added dead cards to hand. Rivendare win con I have never ever seen anyone run so Steamcleaner is whatever as well. Coroner not needed. For now I replaced all this trash with skeleton package, first game is pirate quest warrior of all things so I think I'll replace something with Mutanus/Theothar/both.
For discovers, I thought you already included pandaren, I'd say remove Vast Wisdom for them.
Thank you for ideas! Definitely interesting ones, will try some of them. Cheers!
I usually don't leave a comment but I just had to say, this is SUCH a fun deck. This is EXACTLY the kind of shenanigans I love in hearthstone. Every game feels different, every game has a twist. Now yes this may not be a Tier A deck but it's a really fun one. Althought I did replace Multicaster with Steamcleaner.
Amazing deck, I recommend
Thanks. Yeah, surprisingly fun for me too. So strategic and fresh after all those Blood DKs and pallys )) Much different miracles and random combos occur. Lets make fun great again! xD
And thank you for commenting too. Its very pleasant for author when people express opinion and ideas. Even one word of feedback is very pleasant ) And fun. In good way of funing )
