Mulligan
You want always want to mulligan for :
- 2x Mana Wyrm
- 1x Mana Addict
- 2x [card]Unstable Portal[/card]
- 1x Frostbolt
- 1x [card]Sorcerer's Apprentice[/card]
- 1x Mirror Image
- 1x Mad Scientist
Flamewaker can be a bit slow when you keep him in the opening Hand, but vs. aggro Paladin he is the winning Card.
Card explanations and replacements
- Harrison Jones - Your Deck is already fast as lightning and he will provide you with the extra Carddraw and Tempo you may need vs Weapon Classes. Acidic Swamp Ooze for budged Decks or Loatheb. Wont recommend it tho.
- Unstable Portal - Raynad about UP : "A Card which in 90% of the cases instantly wins you the game". Sounds OK i guess and even if its 50% instant win, i`ll take it. Besides that it has Synergy with Archmage Antonidas, Flamewaker, Mana Addict and Mana Wyrm. Amazing hm? Cant be replaced.
- Echo of Medivh - Strong refiller, since it is likely that you control the Board. It provides you with the supply to overwhelm opponents even after a full Boardclear. Synergy with Mana Wyrm, Mana Addict, Flamewaker. Dont know the replacement.
- Toshley - Just a Boss. He deals with every common 5 and 6 Mana Drop, has the incredible Synergy with Flamewaker, Mana Wyrm, [card]Mana Addict[/card], Harrison Jones and Archmage Antonidas, isnt that vulnerable to silence and for the best Part, he kills [card]Emperor Thaurissan[/card]. Cant be replaced.
- Mana Addict - Strong 2 Drop in this Deck because of her amazing Synergy! Replacing only one for Sylvanas Windrunner is possible. Please check out the own Mana Addict Section aswell!
- Archmage Antonidas - Best finisher in a Mage Deck if you ask Me. Replacement could be Ragnaros the Firelord and Dr. Boom but i do think they are segnificantly weaker as finisher.
Polymorph
If you really feel like you need a extra removal for the Lategame, add Polymorph for a Card you feel like you cant use at all. Execptions : Toshley, Harrison Jones, Archmage Antonidas, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Version 4.0 Mana Addict
Before i go over a frequently heared argument i want to as you one thing, Ragnaros the Firelord is OP, if he stays on the Board right? Same Goes for Ysera and Archmage Antonidas etc. You would also agree on that Flamewaker is pretty op if he stays on the Board right?
So, now we all agreed on the Points above, let me ask you one more thing. Why in the World would it be a bad thing, if Mana Addict gets removed also as quick as possible? It literally proofes the fact, that Mana Addict is pretty damn strong if she stays and also, she baits removal for your other pretty OP Minions, such as Flamewaker for example. So please, never say again, she is a Bad Card here. It gets me mad. Feelsbadman kappapride
You can replace one with Sylvanas Windrunner if you desperately want to...
Gameplan - by MarineKingHS
General Strategy - Firestorm 4.0 is a tempo style deck that is very fast and hits very hard. As such the tactic is to play our high damage, low cost minions early and focus on removing enemy threats with spells, while dealing as much damage to their face as possible. Instead of using our minions to trade board, let the enemy do the trading because it's essential to get in the face damage early. The win condition will often come later in the form of fireballs, but that can be difficult if you didn't push face damage early, so be aware of that and don't over-control the board. For instance, this means that you don't waste time with things like Haunted Creeper or other sticky minions.
Keys to winning
- Get damage off the [card]Mana Addict[/card]s while you can. If you have low cost spells in your hand with an Addict on the field, don't be afraid to use them. A people of people make the mistake of playing every deck as if it's Control Warrior, incorrectly saving Ice Bolts and Spare Parts just in case they need to removal a threat later. This is wrong, use your spells with Addicts early and put the enemy in a position where they can't even play phat late game minions for fear of dying via face damage.
- Play the [card]Flamewaker[/card] on turn 3. A lot of Mage players hold on to the Flamewaker for way too long, waiting for the perfect chance to play it AND proc spells in the same turn. This is a fools errand, you'll be waiting far too long and by the same you get everything you need setup, the enemy might have developed too much board. Instead play the Flamewaker naked and if they remove it, fine. Some people see losing the Flamewaker is a huge loss, but this isn't so. A 4hp minion is not that easy to remove so early in the game, by doing so they've most likely used important cards and also weren't able to develop any board of their own.
- Play [card]Unstable Portal[/card] after the other early drop minions. If you have a choice to either use your mana playing something like a Mana Wyrm/Mana Addict or an [card]Unstable Portal[/card], play the [card]Unstable Portal[/card] next turn. We need to use the spell to buff our minion, which is most important here. The same thing applies to Unstable vs Mad Scientist, get the Scientist out first because the tempo of a trap in play early can be a game changer.
- Use the Flamestrike to removal single threat if the situation calls for it. Unless you are against Patron Warrior, you don't HAVE to wait for a big board to use Flamestike. Many times clearing a single threat with it is the correct move.
- Save the Archmage Antonidas if you can, until you can cast 2 spells. If things are really near the end though, you might have to play a naked Archmage, which is ok if you have no other options. If you are certain your opponent has run out of removals, you might play him aswell and vs Hunter, a naked Archmage is often a very good play!
Version 4.1 Violet Teacher
This is just a switch because i liked the Version of Violet Teacher in it and went like 15-2 with it. If you dont like it, just keep Mana Addicts.
This deck is absolutely amazing :D went 22-3 with it. Looking forward to firestorm 5.0 :)
hi brooklyn its me again (the stalker) will u make firestorm 5.0 plz cos now i waited so long ive got a beard and my finger nails are so long there curling ::D
Yes I´m already on it. It is so far a very, very exciting Deck and goes down to the roots of the first Firestorm Deck. Will maybe come out Sunday already
ty :D
Nice
What is a good substitute for Tosley while you wait for her. i should get dust soon but in the meanwhile I tried Sylvanas but if that is not good synergy what might be?
There is no equal substitute for Toshley. If Sylvanas doenst work, it is hard to get one.
The problem was solved by crafting Toshley and I am using it in a few builds. Thanks.
Hi, I don't have Harrison Jones. Is it ok to replace with Sylvannas?
P.S. Hmm... this is really strange, I have tried using Violet Teacher months ago but it sucked so much. Theoretically it's the same genre as Mana Wyrm and Flamewaker, but it just didn't work. Now it is so good, especially in this deck! I use 99% same because I don't have Harrison Jones but so far so good. Is it because of the meta?
Hey, as you might noticed, i was kinda away :D . Sorry. Sylvanas is always worth a try, otherwise just use Acidic Swamp Ooze.As regards for your question, it is cause of the Meta and the Deck.
What do you think about adding in Rhonin once TGT hits? He seems to be a solid addition due to the strong body and great deathrattle that combos well with this deck. I know he's the only BGH target in the deck but his deathrattle seems to be worth running him.
He costs 8 mana and gets Big Game Hunter'ed. It seems like an honestly terribad idea to me. Then again, who knows. 3 Arcane Missiles is a very good abillity. It just feels like, if he was only cheaper with less stats..... He'd be so much more playable.
I'm not pro, though.
Rhonin is an option yes. I`m still not convinced 100% by him but time will tell.
Ive been playing this deck since before Violet teacher was added in. I just want to post and say thanks again. This is easily my favorite deck to play in Hearthstone. I don't have the PT to ever play enough to reach Legend but I hit Rank 11 last month because of this deck. Thanks!
Hey thank you for your very kind words. It is always nice to hear such things. It is a great motivation!
I switched a Violet Teacher with Kezan Mystic because I lost 4 or 5 games over and over to Freeze Mages thanks to their Ice Block. Also switched an Azure Drake with Bloodmage Thalnos for the times I need a quick-cheap Spell Damage. It's working pretty nice for me now.
Great deck! I've replaced 1 Azure Drake and Harrison Jones with Ice Block and Pyroblast. That combo has saved me plenty of times.. :)
for me all brooks mage decks have so far been most fun in hs ,,i luv em!!! :D
Wow.. =)
any card to alter toshley? it's the only one that i don't have..
