Hi im just an average player from Eu server, and this is my first guide. I decided to show it because i think it works really well against any deck in the meta, and also original and i had exciting games with it. Im currently rank 6, and i have no trouble climbing the ladder with this. Proof: http://puu.sh/h9Mvy/8bfc0d05cd.jpg
I created this deck for Grim Patrons, and they are great in mage. With them, your hero power turns you into a super paladin. Grim Patrons with some other synergizing cards have insane potential, and i built the deck around that. Your goal is to make the game long enough to use them
First, you need to survive facehunters, mechmages, etc. Mad Bombers and Unstable Ghouls were the obvius choice, since they work well against aggro, and you can use them with Grim Patrons later. With Frostbolts and Mad Scientists, you are guaranteed to survive the early levels. Later, this deck has plenty of healing, and the Ice Block prevents any surprise lethal.
The second thing is to deal with the more minion heavy decks. This wont be too hard, since i use the highest value minions available. Shredders, Belchers, Water Elementals, Dr. Boom, Sylvanas are great for controlling the board, the enemy wont get through them without having a strong board presence, and you can punish with your aoe.
Against combo oriented decks, my deck works well too. Ice block is essential against druids and rogues, and the Ice Barriers and the Healbot makes you unkillable without your enemy having board, and that is what you can handle
Your win condition is to either exhaust your opponent, who is spending his cards to deal face dmg, or you can use the inifinite army of Grim Patrons to owerwhelm them. A good Majordomo can also finish your opponent, but you need to be careful, you need Ice Block, Healbot, and an Ice Barrier in hand.
Matchups:
This deck has no weaknesses in the current meta, Aggro Decks rarely pass through 2 Unstable Ghouls and 2 Belchers and deal 54 dmg and pop an Ice Block. Combo Decks, like Druid or Rogue can win with some luck, but i rarely lost to those type of decks. You have the edge against Paladins too, Bombers handle the 1-1s well. Control warriors tend to lose Grim Patrons and Water Elementals, Grim Patron warriors cant handle our powerful minions. Priest is an okay matchup too, if they cant run away with the early. This deck is weak against Handlock, Hellfire and Shadowflame wrecks your board, Demonlock can also win with a Bane of Doom Malganis, but that isnt very strong. And there is one card, Ysera, which is powerful since you cant really deal with her, 12 health is too much, but luckily she isnt very popular.
Card explanations:
There are some obvious choices (Frostbolt, Dr. Boom), but i would like to talk about some unique cards i included, and some cards i did not include.
Acolyte: Long games, you can ping them, primary card draw of the deck
Ice Barriers: The goal is to make the games long enough to win with value, and while they arent as good as healbots, from mad scientists they are nice. Also, funny to see your opponent playing around mirror or counterspell. And Kezans wont destroy your gameplay, your strong board wont have trouble dealing 8 extra dmg.
Blizzard, Cone: You need some good aoe, I use one Blizzard because people never expect it, but you can pick a second Flamestrike too. Cone sets up a nice Flamestrike, and good at delaying Boom for a turn too.
Healbot: very good after Ice Block, 2 for 1 card, always valueable, could be swapped with Alexstrasa, but i dont have her
Madder Bomber: Not a very important card, you can swap this for anything, i use it for synergy, and it cleans up Implosions, Mustards, well.
Majordomo Executus: With Ice Block, Ice Barrier, taunts this is a good deck to use its insane potential, but its not an essential card, anything will fit. Generally i found him valuable http://puu.sh/h9J5z/bc677b6297.jpg
Fireballs: I dont use Fireballs, because they are good for tempo and face dmg, but this deck doesnt need neither.
Loatheb: you are good against combos, so you dont need Loatheb
Emperor Thaurissan: Your games will be long enough to make mana costs irrelevant
Other secrets: everyone plays around Mirror and Counter anyways, Duplicate is too hard to activate, and they are deadly if they steal it.
Thank you for reading the guide, i can answer any questions if you are interested in something.
Edit: Mulligan
It depends on the matchup. You should keep Mad Scientists and Frostbolt most of the times. 2 drops are always valuable to gain some early pressure. If you are first, always try to find one 2 drop. If you are second, you have much more flexibility, which is good, but turn 1 is pass usually (except facehunter). Against aggro a Ghoul or a Bomber can seal the game, and sometimes Bombers kill Shades, which is great. Water Elemental works well against weapon classes, they are nice in the starting hand. The biggest thing you can maybe keep is Sylvanas against Warrior or Priest.
Edit 2:
Instead of Cone of Cold, i use a Polymorph now, since i started to see more paladins with Tirions, and it seems effective, and i think poly is good against the incoming dragon meta too.
Possibly the title should be 'Working Patron Mage', and in that way I would like the deck better.
absolutely love this deck. I replaced majordomo with rag and suddenly it is awesome. played 19 games, lost 3, 1 to demonlock (ridiculous hand for him) 1 to mech mage, 1 to freeze mage. this deck works good against patron warrior. the waterelementals freeze him so his deathsbite wont trigger, flamestrike destroys his patrons and if u dont have any of those cards, just play ur own patron, so u share the fun. ice block prevents the otk combo.
I love how you open with "Hi im just an average player...", yet every picture reference shows you clearly have the Legendary card back! :D
Looks promising, gonna try this out and finally use Majordomo Executus.
rly nice deck,especially vs agro,bombers and ghouls mvp)What are you think about polymorph in this deck instead 1 grim patron?
Yeah!!! I had the most fun ever with this deck against a demonlock.
He had that annoying 1-3 explosive taunt and mal ganis out.
I had only majordomo! I played Boom and pinged a bomb. 33% change of hitting the taunt and 50% change of hitting it with 3+.
RNGesus saved me. He played jaxx. I got a healbot and ice barrier. In the end he also play rag.
It was epic is was the best ever. I still lost :( but i had so much fun!!!
I tried this. First time I got to be Ragnaros, I put up ice barrier and ice block.. When I used the hero ability I got eye for an eyed by a paladin and died, without my secrets protecting me.
just bad luck!
Having a lot of fun with this deck. Happy to make use of my Golden Majordomo. Despite most of my wins coming from Grim Patron combos, I have had Majordomo pull off a few surprise victories. The big weakness seems to be Paladins right now, especially with Dragon Paladin rising in popularity.
Once you earn a card from an adventure, you can craft golden copies of it. Majordomo is a card that I liked so much that I wanted to make a golden one lol.
Mistakes were made
Any room for Foe Reaper in this deck?
This deck is really awesome. Haven't lost once! The games do go on forever though
I also wanted to add that this deck is so effective, I usually never even end up playing Majordomos. Either I was able to win early enough, or had to use other cards to get the job done. I ended up replacing him with Emperor Thaurissan and still had great results!
any deck with majordomo is better without majordomo, this deck seems to be mainly for fun
Sylvannas can't really be replaced well. I'd say Dr. Boom or another threat. Same goes for ice block, very niche effect. I'd probably go with counter spell to try and survive hunter spells or druid combo.
It's almost as if Majordomo Executus can actually be good.
Kappa.
"Thank you."
Wouldn't it be better to say that this deck works DESPITE Majordomo?
ehm... no.
too slow, the combos aren't lethal and not even giving and immediate payoff (say warsong commander). majordomo is just a nonsense card for suicidal tendencies and I don't mean the metal band.
really, no.
This deck is hilarious.
