This is my Tempo Mage!
This is an incredible fast deck. Yes , i know. It's the first day of TGT and I'm wrecking everyone!
If i get 12 likes, I'll post a guide! - Actually , after some days. We are only in the second day of TGT! I'll post the guide soon.
If you wanna add me: Occidere#1635.
I'll probably do some changes in the future.

Hello guys , here I am. Sorry for not posting a guide but who doesn't know how to play tempo correctly.
Well , this is the updated version.
+ 2 water elementals = counter to warriors , palas , hunter , rogue. Just too good to not be played.
+ 2 mirror image and 2 arcane missiles = more early flamewaker enablers , using two of each one you don't need to use mech yeti.
+ Loatheb = Solid 5 drop that can save you against hunters , for example or save your board against a consec.

Tempo mage is an aggro deck that tries to get ahead in tempo with apprentices/flamewakers combos and then tries to finish off the opponent with spells/archmage.

Arcane Blasts - That card really surprised me. It gives you so much tempo. So much better than 2 mirror images. If you're seeing loads of shamans , i would add 1 mirror image , tho.
Shreeders - They're just too good. If you're seeing loads of weapon classes i would add 1/2 water elementals.
Counterspell - Good against the most classes in this meta. If you don't like the card i would put in a duplicate.
You don't, Archmage becomes a winning condition once the deck starts running out of steam.
with Pyroblast, it work hella well !
But if u don't play antonidas, do not play neither gnome and yeti, doesn't make much sense.
I replaced the Archmage package with: 1 Dragon Egg, 1 Polymorph, 1 Flamestrike, 1 Pyroblast . All of these cards work really well. the 1-Drop could be any one, but Egg also gives me a turn 2 plan, especially on the play.
Pyroblast has not failed me yet (When I had it and got to 10 Mana, it was lethal...)
then try another finisher, like Ragnaros perhaps
I went from rank 13 to rank 18 today with this deck. Literally lost more times than I could count. I have played most decks very well, but this one just doesn't click
Yeah I feel your pain. I also lost ranks and Spellslinger lost me more games than I can count.

I have better luck with this one also the guy who does this is pretty cool ;)
The Black Knight is a must card in every deck now. So many dragon taunts, it's not even funny. He taunts against tempo you crush him with Knight and you still have TEMPO!

TY FOR THIS GREAT DECK! Went from Rank 5-Legendary(first time). I just replaced a Spellslinger for a Kezan Mystic because so many Secret Paldins.
not trying to be negative, but why is this deck getting so many upvotes? it is basically an old known solid mage deck with eggify and spellslinger (which is not always that good). no seriously what did i miss?
boring.
I'm playing a very similar deck and would like to share some observations.
After a fair ammount of games with Rhonin, I came to the conclusion that the synergy with Antonidas never really showed up. Yes, it also feeds the Flamewaker and yes, Rhonin is a solid "body" by himself. Still, I feel that it's a tad too slow and would fit better in a more control oriented deck. Alternatively, it could be possible to add the Emperor to at least get some discount for Rhonin. Otherwise, I tend to think that Ragnaros is more straightforward.
Effigy is a card that requires careful play to gain some value. Playing it early in the game via Mad Scientist often gets you a 1 or 2 drop (Wyrm or Apprentice or Clockwork Gnome) or even worse a 0 drop when the good old Flamewaker/MIrror Image is out. I might be wrong here, but I still prefer Mirror Entity over Effigy in this deck.
One thing that I'm missing in this deck is AOE. Depending on the rank and the meta, you will face a lot of aggro decks flooding the board with tons of Weenies. Flamestrike is expensive, but one Blizzard might be worth thinking about. Talking about AOE, I'm still trying to fit one Frost Nova into the deck. Dropping Antonidas and Frost Nova, basically stalling the board for one turn is pretty strong. Climbing the ladder, I even included an Arcane Implosion at the point where every second opponent was either Facehunter or Ebola Paladin and it worked wonders. Needless to say, the higher you get, you will face more and more "controlly" and midrange decks, so you have to replace it.
Spellslinger has a symmetrical effect and as usual, you need to find a way to "bend" the symmetry in order to make it work in your favor. With Apprentice and Flamewaker, this is definitely the case. However, the rng is still strong. Not sure if I like it.
Btw, I'm currently playing at rank 4, so I'm by no means a good player and this is not meant to criticize your deck! I merely want to point out my thoughts.
What about Rhonin ?
He´s such a strong card in Tempo Mage, especially if u play Archmage Antonidas and Flamewaker
Don't have him , replace dr boom with him , if u want.
I might just be an really unlucky person but is there any card i can replace spellslinger with ? Because that card works more against me then for me.
That happens , spellinger doens't have replacers.
I replaced one spellslinger with darkbane, I haven't found any good replacements fo the 2nd spellslinger though.
Yeti because of antonidas and making effigy a pain for your opponent.
I played more or less the same deck to legend... yo're probably just terrible.
You could sub it in if you don't see a lot of warriors/rogues/shamans being played
