Proof of Legend: 

This is a Tempo Mage list that is highly adapted to the current meta which consists of large amounts of paladin's and warriors.  Normally Tempo mage can beat the warrior lists through a strong curve and consistent mid game pressure with burst damage to finish them off with both matchups against Patron and Control being about a 55-60% winrate this deck doesn't aim to tech heavily to beat warrior but by playing the full 4 copies of Water Elemental and Piloted Shredder the warrior matchup is slightly easier than it otherwise would be in a more stock Tempo Mage list.  

The main reason to use this Tempo Mage list is of course because of its incredible paladin matchup.  Normally Midrange Secret Paladin is actually favored against Tempo Mage because of how hard the deck crutches on Flamewaker to take control of the board.  The inclusion of two copies of Wild Pyromancer and the singleton Arcane Explosion allow us to completely dumpster paladins by easily mopping up their boards while still developing at the same time.  The inclusion of these cards does come at the cost of Unstable Portal and one mana spells but those cards were inconsistent or low impact a lot of the time where as with the Wild Pyromancer's you can always use cheeky combos to clear boards (similarly to the types of things control priest can do but with higher damage output).  

If you're looking for a way to climb ladder while completely destroying the most common deck you'll face I highly suggest giving this deck a try!

If this post gets enough attention I'll write up a mulligan and strategy guide for the deck against common matchups.
