Hello guys I'm Blaine i play Hearthstone for Vengeance eSports and hit Legend multiple times.
Right now I'm working on a diffrent kind of Mage Deck.
I used to play a lot of Freeze Mage when i started to play Hearthstone.
Then with GVG i started to play Mech Mage but i got bored of it really fast.
Then I tried out the Echo Mage and i was like bloody hell is that.
I then went back to the Version Lothar and Theude used to play at the take a seat tournament and changed some cards. . . . and with some i mean a lot.
Theorycrafting in the beginning:
Which Tech-Cards do i think will work out perfectly.
1. We have Big Game Hunter well he is more a staple card then a Tech right now he perfectly clears high drops like Dr. Boom and Ragnaros.
2. The good old Mind Control Tech people having 4 minions on the board isn't that rare , even in controll decks. Thanks to Dr. Boom fields get filled.
3. Kezan Mystic with more and more Freeze and Echo Mages and also Hunters in the current Meta Kezan is a legit tech against them. She is not that great against the most Decks I agree on that and I would cut her for a Harrison Jones if i see more Warrior & Paladins then Mages.
4. Bomb Lobber is a really nice removal against some meta decks right now and i really like to use him against Druids as a possible Shades removal.
The Rest of the Deck seems pretty standart.
Flamecannon and Frostbolt are good early removals.
The Explosive Sheep is the perfect early AOE removal in Mages.
The 4 Secrets are personal preferences.
I like to have an Ice Block to back up my game.
Mirror Enity is really good to stablize the board same with the Piloted Shredder , Sylvanas Windrunner Sludge Belcher and Sneed's Old Shredder
.
The Duplicate refills resources but i really dislike to play two since it feels so bad drawing into them.
Fireballs can close out games or be a good removal for higher drops.
I am a big fan of Unstable Portal it's rare that you get a card that would not be worth playing for the less mana costs.
Changes I made:
I used to play Ragnaros over Sneed's Old Shredder but after getting BGHed for the 6th time in a row i tried to replace him with Sneeds worked out better because removing Sneeds is always a grossly inefficient play.
I also cut out Ysera for a Water Elemental I faced a lot of Hunters and thought the Water Elemental would make a better stand against them , so far I'm right.
But I still miss my Ysera...
Win Rates:
- Mage 8-2
- Hunter 7-2
- Warlock 5-0
- Priest 3-0
- Paladin 2-0
- Rogue 1-2
- Warrior 3-1
- Shaman 2-1
- Druide 2-2
What do you Mulligan for?
It's kinda simple most likely Mulligan for early drops.
If you have the coin stay with Piloted Shredder .
Against Aggro Decks keep: Explosiv Sheep , MC Tech & Frost Bolt
Against Controll Base Decks: Shredder , Mad Scientist & Flamecannons
Against Mages and even Hunter keep Kezan Mystic controll their secrets can win you games.
If you have any questions any questions about the Decks , Mulligans , Match-Ups or replacements.
Feel free to ask them .
EDIT 1:
You encounter alot of Rogues lately?
Replace MC Tech and Maybe Bomb Loober for Harrison Jones & Loatheb
You encounter way to many Hunters?
Kick Bomb Lobber and BGH for Illuminator or Healbots!
Greetz xBlaine
The deck is playing about 50/50 for me. I don't have SW, TBK or Ice Block. Replaced with Loatheb, Healbot and another duplicate.
Don't have a lot of legendaries but let me know if you see a better replacement for SW or TBK. Thanks.
Is that picture of you real? Because...nice, haha.
Also, I enjoy the deck. Went on a losing streak when I started using it, but once I subbed BGH out for Poly, and TBK out for Antonidas, I started doing very well
Polymorph > BGH
Otherwise great deck.
Thanks for the feedback will try that later!
This deck is really great im currently 10-5 with it. I replaced bomb lobber with Antique Healbot for more survival, replaced one mirror entity with hex and replaced black-knight with loatheb :)
However I've been losing to priests a lot, any advice on how to deal with priests? thanks
First up nice changes depending on your match ups.
Try to mulligan for Flamespitter , and Shredder and othere 4 attack drops
Flamespitter gets rid of pretty much every early drop they can play.
And Shredder is probably the most annoying buddy for them to remove.
Hope i could help ya!
I think right now spellbender and counterspell are really weak to play in the Ladder and i wouldn't run them since there are way to many Mech Mages.
Maybe in Tournaments as a counter pick to rogue.
Howdy!
Thanks for the video buddy!
I really appreciate it^^
You missed lethal at 5:25 attack face+fireball+frostbolt+hero power would kill the priest. Btw, thanks for recording these videos, they are very good for players who browse through decks and want to see how these decks work, if they are thinking of playing/crafting it.
Hey I just tried out ur deck (with ysera instead of sneed) and have some questions. when should I use/not use duplicate? Why just 1 flamestrike? And the most important question: why not harrison and/or loatheb? Seems weak vs oil rouge. Thx in advance for the answers and except for that, the deck looks great!
I totaly agree on the weakness against oil rogue. i didn't meet a lot of Rogues lately if you meet alot of them cut Kezan Mystic and either MC Tech or Bomb Loober for Loatheb and Harrison.
I disliked to play 2 flamestrike since the i personally noticed that the double sheeps seem to be a better removals f.E. duplicated sheeps also deal 2+2 => 4 damage with HP triggering for 1 Mana less.
Also i think they can be rly cluggy.
When to duplicate is always a tough question i think it's something that really depens on the situation.
Do you need more removals get the sheeps duplicated.
You need to stablize the board? Get Shredders or Sludge duplicated.
You need to stay ahead in the game vs Mages? Mythic or BGH duplicated would help here.
Just take care of useless duplicate targets f.E. Frogs , Sheeps , Slime , Summonings of the Shredder or Doom Bots.
Hope i could help you out here :)
Thx for the help! I've got from rank 18 to 13 yesterday thanks to this deck and many games was won due to Kezan Mystic. So I'd like to keep that card in the deck, I'll try to switch mctech for loatheb and do some games and if that isn't enough I may cut bomb lobber for Harrison. But I think rouge is slowly fading away (unless this deck gets too popular :D) so loatheb should be enough
Gratz on your climb buddy!
Do you have Ysera? i would play her then.
Otherewise you can fill in something like Harrison Jones , Loatheb or even a second Water Elemental
Hope i could help you ^^'
How can i replace The Black Night?
Just play Assassinate.
Try Polymorph with Heropower it fits on curve and is a good removal to everything!
Greetz!
I don't have Dr Boom can I replace him with War Golem and 2 Wisp?
Yeah also if you don't have sludge try TazDingo + Footman it's basicly the same.
Pls. . .
