9/23/2016 : [REPLACED 15 CARDS FOR STANDARD]
11/29/2015 - Took out a Fireball and Frostbolt to make Reno Jackson more reliable. Brought back Arcane Missiles and Blizzard.
11/26/2015 - Finally obtained an Arcane Blast to replace my Arcane Missiles
11/22/2015 - MAJOR CHANGES DUE TO "THE LEAGUE OF EXPLORERS"
- +1 Bloodmage Thalnos
- +1 Forgotten Torch
- +1 Big Game Hunter
- +1 Polymorph
- +1 Ethereal Conjurer
- +1 Reno Jackson
- -1 Unstable Portal
- -1 Mad Scientist
- -1 Sorcerer's Apprentice
- -2 Ice Barrier
- -1 Flamewaker
10/03/2015 - Came back from a short hiatus to update this deck and guide for TGT.
- +1 Water Elemental
- +1 Flamestrike
- +1 Rhonin
- -1 Bloodmage Thalnos
- -1 Kezan Mystic
- -1 Blizzard
6/19/2015 - Took out an Arcane Intellect for one Bloodmage Thalnos
6/14/2015 - Switched out an Azure Drake with a Kezan Mystic, does really well in the current meta.
6/13/2015 - Swapped Alexstrasza for Dr. Boom because by the time I get to 9 Mana the opponent is usually around 15 HP. Playing Dr. Boom turn 7 and Antonidas Turn 8 with a 1 Mana Spell/Ring is better than Alexstrasza. Win % has gone up as a result.
6/12/2015 - Replaced both Molten Giants with Loatheb & [card]Emperor Thaurissan[/card] for faster plays and a stronger mid game. I end up winning most of my games without the Giants anyway.

NEW KEY PLAYERS
Boosted End Game potential with the addition of Medivh, the Guardian. High Tempo Combos when combined with Firelands Portal/Cabalist's Tome/Flamestrike/Etc.
- Medivh is there to secure the win, to give you that extra push when you need it. Wait to play him when you have board control or when the board is "Neutral". He is not the answer if you're fighting an uphill battle - that's where Yogg comes in,
I love Yogg-Saron, he can literally get you out of any sticky situation and he is unbelievably fun to play.
- The optimal time to play Yogg in this deck is when the Spell Counter is 10+ and when your Deck has 12+ Cards.
- Yogg tends to make you draw a ton of cards so remember to make room.
- Only play him when you have no other answer. Good counter to N'Zoth, the Corruptor.
Spellbender is a MUST HAVE on a control/tempo decks for new meta i think: "dont touch my big minions you dirty priest with entombs" :D
Toshley if you have it
Alexstraza or a Blizzard wouldnt be bad either, just not as good.
On another note, id replace Arcane Missiles with Arcane Blast if thats possible for you. I dont have one yet otherwise i would too
Do you have Alexstraza?
I love this deck; very powerful. However, I tend to die midgame against warrior and druid. I made some changes that focus on midgame more. I cut out all 3 secrets as well as the 2x Mad Scientist and the Kezan Mystic. I replaced them with low level control cards like Ice Lance and Frost Nova. I can now get between round 4 and round 7 without losing a single hp (assuming the enemy doesn't charge). I don't need the extra 16 armor + revive that way.
Could Toshley be good in the deck instead of Thalnos? Extra parts for fireball procs.
It would play a bit slower, but your end game would be more solid.
It could work, try it out!
Tested this deck all day long on 5-4 rank. Really fun deck, but just weak in current meta. Winrate about 50%. Very unexpected set of secrets though.
At 1st I was like ehh I don't know about this. Too many card seems to be based on the card draw. Well $hit I did 19 damage in 1 turn.
[card]dr. boom[/card] was out turn before [card]Bloodmage Thalnos[/card] down [card]Flamewaker[/card] combos for the win..
Very nice deck.. Looking forward to playing more matching with it..
Thank man!
Np, glad you had fun!
Dont you think that thalnos would fit this deck?
Sadly I don't own one otherwise i'd probably try it. -1 Arcane Intelligence +1 Thalnos wouldn't be bad.
Edit: I just opened a Thalnos lol.
Got from the tavern pack just like me? i got it golden from there
Nah, I got it after an arena run
i changed -1 unstable portal +1 ice block try it out! seems preety good as i tested
So you cut the midgame minions and Mirror Entitys for Ice Barrier, Ice Block, and a Blizzard? Seems a lot worse than just adding a random Pyroblast to standard Flamewaker Mage. You won't need Ice Block to survive if you play good cards and kill them instead.
Hah! Had a good amount of fun with this deck! It seems to never really run into playless turns which is really nice and it has enough mid to late game to strike fear in the eyes of those control decks! Archmage is great in decks such as this and Emperor just makes the combo that much stronger. I always shoot for at least two fireballs of the Archmage but then if it lives a turn and you use two fireballs to get back two more it's basically GG! Anyways thanks for the share love the deck here's some gameplay :p ! ENJOY!!!
1 minute in the video=> Can't even ping his totems. *proceeds to fireblast face on turn 3*
Nice video though, always like to see some gameplay of a deck before I try it myself. That way i know if it'll actually fit my playstyle :p
Thanks for the review and im glad you had fun; really appreciate the video too man! Im gonna link it in the guide if you dont mind :D
@AWildFlareon I know exactly what you're talking about that's the part that I was thinking about while writing this that's why I said never really does which means it can possibly but not often xP ! I have seen you on here before and I do admire your paying attention to detail though, so you kind of got me ;P ! Thanks! No problem that's basically the whole point of my videos so glad it's useful for my viewers! Btw your avatar is awesome :3 !
@Indoobiously Hey no problem at all it is my pleasure to make a video of a deck as fun as this one!!! I would feel honored to have this video link :D !
Ragnaros would do, or any finisher you think is good. It won't do as well as Pyroblast though.
