Hello!
I'm here with another anti-meta deck for you to reach legend with. This time is Tempo Mage!
This deck carried me from rank 3 to legend in an amazing series of victories! My winrate at the time i hit legend was around 75%
Card choices:
Effigy over Counterspell: Eff is a really great card in this deck, since you have plenty of high cost minion to transform. Counterspell is too easily activated by things like paladin secrets.
Spellslinger over Arcane Intellect: Ahhh this guy. I've seen many people claiming that he is "mediocre" at best. Well, he is not. One of the problems of tempo mage was the lack of a solid three drop to keep up the pressure while playing on curve. He does that, while also providing a resource: spells are incredibly valuable in this deck, even if they are useless (totemic might for example is still a Fireball by antonidas and 2 damage by Flamewaker). Yes i've lost games due to insane luck by my opponent. And yes, i've won games due to my own RNG luck as well. But on AVERAGE he will be much more useful for you.
Toshley over Rhonin: My impression is that Rhonin is too slow. Toshleydoes basically the same thing but he covers the 6-drop slot that would otherwise be empty while providing BGH immunity and the same body (7 health).
Water Elemental over Piloted Shredder: This is basically my tech choice: weapon hate. If you see many paladins druids and warriors, play water ele. If you see many warlocks priests and mages, play piloted shredder. It's a meta call!
**mulligan guide coming soon**
Thanks for your time and as always, enjoy the climb!

***SELLOUT CORNER***
If you want to know how i reached rank 3 maybe you can take a look at my aggro hunter's decklist here: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/326508-eu-brave-aggro-hunter-smorc-the-riddlers
***END OF SELLOUT CORNER***
This deck is, how to say, very situational at best..., how u reached legend with this deck, beats me.
Hey Miragent!
I'm really enjoying this deck, it has a lot of cool features to it, such as reacting to what cards you get from spellslingers and portals.
However, i can't really seem to get the Paladin matchup working :( In all the other match-ups im around 60-70% winrate, but against Paladin its a pretty abysmal 20% wins..
Can you shine some light on this particular matchup?
Thanks a bunch for the quick reply!
Keep these amazing decks comming ! :)
Hi! ill test this deck tonight, going to drop one mirror image for a polymorph boar though. I really like to have a poly in my deck
i have just one question, why no Emperor Thaurissan?
oh, without arcane intellect and rhonin, your hand is nearly empty, great point thanks
I'm subbing Emperor for Toshley, unless you can recommend something else?
What is your opinion on using Arcane Blast over Arcane Missles?
Been around 50/50 with this deck at rank 4, few misplays when I first started using it so i'd say 60/40. All of the games have been extremely close favorite post TGT Tempo for sure.
1-5 with this deck, lack of card draw hurts it and spell slinger is still crap
How are you doing against secret pally? Any stats to share?
I don't have Toshley. Do you think it'll work well if I sub in Rhonin for him, or is there a better/no replacement?
