This one is for Dagivoe! He asked to see my updated Tempo Mage on stream, so here it is!

I prefer to have 2  Snowchuggers instead of having two Frostbolt because I value freezing a lot in the current meta. You can interchange the two, however. Freezing helps a ton against Druid, Warrior, Rogue, Paladin, Hunter, and even Shaman at times. It's also an extra minion, which I like. There are down sides though...it is one less spell for the Flamewaker, plus you have to have it on board to actually do something, you can't just play it out of your hand. Nevertheless, I find it to be better than Frostbolt in this type of deck.

There aren't that many spells to activate Flamewaker, but I still find it effective. Opponents will go through a lot of trouble often times, or make inefficient plays, just to clear your 3 mana card. You often times do have spells to activate it though, so it will still get you value if your opponent doesn't silence or clear it.

Other than that, this is basically a standard Tempo Mage, and it does well in the current meta filled with Hunters and Zoo. Zoo isn't that good of a match-up, but the deck certainly holds it's own if you get into the late game. There are a lot of threats in this deck, so it always has a chance of winning, even if you find yourself down. Ragnaros the Firelord, Dr. Boom, and Sylvanas Windrunner can help turn the tides in your favor.

I used this last season in ranked with a win rate around 65%, almost hit rank 3 but I ran out of time at the end. So far this season I just won at rank 8, which is pretty good 3 days in.
