A deck I started with then I got the beta key and unlocked a few cards. It's cheap and fairly effective. It probably wont get you far, but you'll win a few games with this.
Just keep clearing the board and go for face when the opportunity arises.
You can make many changes to this deck as you get more gold to buy cards. Replace Ogre Magis with Azure Drakes, get Pyroblast instead of Arch Mages and you'll get a solid deck out of this.
It's fine. Replaced gnomish inventor for faceless summoner and kobold. 58% win rate
After tested this deck, it's OK with Casual - Standard.
Here's the status of the game; 56% Win Rate | 25 Wins | 20 Loses.
10 turn 4 lol
I haven't played much mage and was just looking for a deck to help me quickly win a few games in casual for my daily - this did the trick!
You can put a gurubasshi, can kill some small minions and gain a lot of attack + you hero power to increase the attack and kill you opponent or a big minion.
This is where anyone new to the game should start. With all of the area of effect (AoE), reach, and hard removal, this deck is still potent in the TGT meta without much alteration. I have a couple of alt accounts and this has been the first deck I've crafted on each of them because of its power and cheap barrier of entry at 440 dust.
My two substitutions are two Kobold Geomancers and two Azure Drakes for the Gnomish Inventors and the Ogre Magi. In addition to smoothing out the curve, the Kobolds add cheap spell damage bonuses to help clear the board with Arcane Explosion and Arcane Missiles. Meanwhile the Drakes effectively replace both the Magi and the Inventors in spell damage bonus and card draw.
The card draw engine and AoE will keep you in a lot of games. You can and will get outgunned, but you're just about as likely to rope a dope your opponent. Everyone will play around one Flamestrike, but rarely two. The Arcane Explosions with the Kobolds can be game killers for aggro decks like Hunter, Paladin, and Zoolock.
What the deck really lacks is a knock out punch. You'll want to save the Fireballs until you can afford a Pyroblast, or legendaries like Boom, Ragnaros, or Antonidas, but it's okay to use the 6 damage for removal if you can't find your Polymorphs.
Nice deck, I never tried it. But I got rank 15 with mage and I want to try this deck.
A letter that replaces only the two acolytes pain
I can't win with this cards..
Recomiendo este excelente deck para los que inician con la clase Mago, soy nuevo y eh podido llegar a rango 18 en rank, nada mal por ser principiante.
Pd: Solo me faltan 2 cartas, pueden ser reemplazadas y obtener el mismo resultado.
As a Mage deck user, I'll recommend this.
I lack these cards on this deck, it's the deck that I use currently as a Mage hero:
1x Acolyte of Pain --> Alternatively I'm using 1x Cult Master.
1x Mana Wyrm --> Alternatively 1x Wild Pyromancer.
2x Sorcerer's Apprentice --> Alternatively 1x Pint-Sized Summoner + Master Swordsmith.
All I'm saying that i can't pass rank 19 with this deck, not sure if it's due to lack of these cards or because it's outdated deck with being on Naxx Patch, Also i wonder if it's needed to put 2x Archmage on this deck, what do you think if it got replaced with 2x Dalaran Mage instead for fast paced match pattern, Thank you.
*6uda*
Dalaran Mages are terrible. Kobold Geomancers are better for their cost. I don't think it's a good swap, though. Archmages are so much tougher and the mana curve is not that slow here. With such low budget and playing a Mage, this is probably the best you can get, imo. Mage's basic cards with best value are all for 4 mana...
Hey I used this deck but I swapped one Archmage for Archmage Antonidas and it works FLAWLESS so far.
Yea, Cheap Mage !!!
Been having a lot of initial success with this deck. A great place to start building yourself up.
It sure is. I had like 4 wins 1 lose from starting to build it up and with some little changes.
@dionyzoss Replacing an Archmage with Leeroy is an option, although that skews it more toward an aggro style deck instead of midrange.
nice
Thank you very much! I loved this deck and helped me in the first times. Now that I got some better cards I built another deck that is very similar to this one. Hope you like it! http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/53799-lots-of-spell-mage
