Hi all. I am RedTony, a golden shaman and paladin 2xlegendary player. This season I am committed to get my golden Jaina as well.

This is a tempo mage deck made specifically to counter the most common decks in the meta: aggro, especially secret aggro paladin. For that reason it runs some "technical" cards that nevertheless have a good use:

The main victory condition is good old Archmage Antonidas, which has a great synergy with Rhonin and Emperor Thaurissan.

Example:

Against Warrior, druid and shaman:

Against midrange secret paladin and face hunter:

Against handlock and aggro paladin:

Some paladin play:

I will do a full writeup if the deck gets some love :) (at least +10 like)

Edit: Last changes made:

- Sylvannas Windrunner instead of Emperor Thaurissan. Same cost, same stats, Emperor favours combos, but Sylvanas requires an inmediate answer.

-Clockwork Gnome instead of 2nd Mirror Image. I felt like I needed a faster deck to out-damage face hunters as well as for quickly taking down some control decks before they could make their way into lategame. Plus, the additional spare part is unvaluable.

Thoughts:

- I would like to try Toshley instead of Sylvanas Windrunner. Better body, nice spare parts,  but maybe not as decisive on board.
