This is an aggro spell mage deck which effectively gives you tempo while taking chunks out of your opponents health. Flamewaker gives you extreme tempo and damage. Couple it with cheap spells such as arcane missiles or mirror image to give you extra value. Please post comments below and try out this deck.
Cards
Arcane Missiles Sometimes this card makes me the happiest person and sometimes it makes me want to delete hearthstone. However, this card is great for board clearing and doing some damage. You can use with flamewaker to do 5 spread damage. A two health minion has a 50% chance of getting killed by it.
Ice Lance A finisher card. Combine with a frostbolt or freeze from a chugga to do some damage. It should be noted that this card can and should be used to control the board from time to time to set up lethal.
Mirror Image Taunts may seem a bit weird in aggro decks, but this sometimes makes a perfect combo turn three with coin + flamewaker or even T1 mana wyrm+ coin. It forces your opponent to deal with the taunts while you can ignore the board and do some damage. It should be noted that this card has great synergy with knife juggler.
Mana Wyrm Strong one drop that gets insane value from any spell. High value target for your opponent which should force some removal making it safe to drop a flamewaer.
Frostbolt Ice lance activator and minion removal. Usually I like to save this card for the face (or lethal) because without it, it makes your icelances useless most of the time.
Snowchugger Anti weapon and another ice lance activator. Really useful early game. If you want a beefier minion consider a water elemental.
Sorcerer's Apprentice One of the main foundations for this deck. Basically, a mini Emperor Thaurissan with immediate value. It allows you to do a 0 mana arcane missiles, mirror image, ice lance, spare part. Best case scenario is to have this on board with a flamewaker for some awesome combos.
Arcane Intellect Main source of card draw which can be used to activate a mana wyrm or flamewaker. Remember you can use it for two mana with an apprentice.
Flamewaker MVP of this deck and the source of many rage quits. This card is really core to this deck and can not be replaced in my opinion. #1 priority for removal from your opponent, so use it wisely. Best case scenario would be to use this card and a mirror image. Flamewaker+ arcane missiles give you 5 damage across the board for 4 mana and gives you board presence. However, do not just hold on to this card and clog up your hand hoping for a super combo with 5 spells. The more you play this deck the more you get the feel on how to play with this card.
Fireball Finisher card or a removal for taunts and such.
Clockwork Gnome Great one drop which has awesome synergy with mana wrym,
flame waker, and apprentice.
Leper Gnome Pesky little minion that does its share of chipping the health
away. You can ping him with a hero power for that lethal (saved me a couple times).
Bloodmage Thalnos Card draw and spell power? Yes please. Great card to give an extra damage to your spells and cycle through cards. Good replacement for this card would be a loot hoarder (value draw more).
Coldlight Oracle Most of the time you will use this as an emergency draw to find a card to get lethal.
Wolfrider Another damage dealer. It should be noted that this card synergizes with time rewinder from the spare part. Card does not usually last a turn, but it does some good damage. If you like, you can use an arcane golem instead, but I don't like ramping up the opponent.
Jeeves I used to run two of these, but it got a little clunky when I got two of them in hand, so I now run one. Awesome card to dump your entire hand and draw some cards.
Notable Cards
Azure Drake Great card for some card draw and spell power.
Loot Hoarder This is actually my favorite card in hearthstone. I think this has a place in this deck. Some people complained about running out of steam. This is a good way to keep your hand full while doing some damage.
Unstable Portal Some people swear by this card. I don’t like it for obvious reasons. However this card has synergy with other cards in this deck.
Knife Juggler Good card. I got criticized for using this, but I stand by this card as being good for this deck. Mirror image + juggler is a great combo. Plus, there are a lot of low cost minions that can take advantage of this card. This card can also help clear a board.

Updates
4/24/2015- Changed the deck a bit, so It would not burn out as fast. You might recognize the resemblance between this deck and the old aggro mage played back in the day.
4/25/2015- Added Antonidas to provide a little more reach against pesky control decks. Nyderrath inspired me to add in a pyroblast and flamestrike. The pyroblast gives you another win condition and the flamestrike is a great board clear card when it gets rough. Thank you for the likes and the comments. Please keep those comments going as you guys have really good ideas and together we can improve this deck.
4/25/2015- Took our flamestrike and antonidas as they were getting a little clunky in aggro matches. It should be noted that the flamestrike and antonidas do help in a stall situation with control decks, but if it gets to that point you most likely lost.
4/25/2015- Thanks to Smashplayer for recommending that I add Jeeves to this deck. He also suggested adding in a flame canon as well. Jeeves is a great way to dump your hand and draw cards. In order to accommodate Jeeves, I took out the higher cost cards such as pyroblast and drake, so it is easier to dump your hand to draw cards. I really like the direction that this deck is going. As usual please post any recommendations in the comments below.
4/26/2015- Right now I am playing without the water elementals and added in another juggler and wolf rider. I felt that the elementals were a bit slow. This is what I am playing with atm. I feel that the new additions make the deck a lot faster. As always, post comments below.
4/28/2015- Added more card draw such as loot hoarder and drake.

Heh, just tried this deck out for the first time (unranked) and beat a Paladin without even losing 1 health. Seems pretty good so far. I don't have Blood Mage Thalnos so I substituted in Pyroblast. Although I may replace that with a second Flamecannon.
Hhahaha,you made me laugh. Just replace it for a Loot Hoarder you just don't replace a 1/1 card for a 10 mana cost card. See you!
Just gave you my -1. What rank are you?
Really nice at rank 12, although i have made some changes. Thank you for this cheap deck and good deck!
No!
LOOOOOOOL
I pretty sure that was his joke... lol
This deck is so much fun to play. Don't know how it does on ranked. But grinding fast wins in casual and having a laugh while doing it, is worth a vote.
Deck is really good. The main concern is it cannot deal with damned combo warrior in average case.
And I'd like to replace riders with juggler, which is really good as a drop and with mirrors.
Tried this deck however players already know how to handled it by killing any Flamewakers and Sorcerer's Apprentice before i can even make use of them.
Sorry bro but this Deck gets rekt by everything if you dont draw good, ok it can be great but in Most Cases you draw Bad and just get owerwhelmed!
What would be the worst match ups for this deck?
In my tests the worst matchup is against dude warrior - our abilites plays for him too much. Also can be problems with freeze mages if you don't have enough burst in your hand.
cool deck
Useless deck.
Playing on EU. This deck CAN be fun, if you draw the right cards or your flamewaker doesn't get killed immediately. First two games went pretty smooth, easy wins, but then... 4 straight losses because i didnt draw flamewaker. this deck is way too much relying on one card... when it's working = ton of fun, but most of the time waiting for the right cards = no fun ( and you're getting destroyed )
EDIT: This deck really sucks vs. everything if you don't get that flamewaker in the first 3 draws... only good matchup is handlock lol. it doesn't even make fun anymore if you're getting f*cked againd and again by control decks.
This deck is fun!
This deck is shit, at least so far, always end up with a hand full of spells with control decks, and too slow for aggro decks.
its a lot of luck, if you get lucky enough to face bash the enemy, otherwise u lose
3-4 at rank 19. Not total shlt but nothing special
