Hi everybody, my name is Vicky (Zetaliowka). I'm current top 1 EU.
I'd like to share my mage deck with you. I was holding top 100 previous season season by playing this deck. It can remind you old duplicate mages, but since new expansions this archetype has got new possibilities. Here is a bit old version on a pic below:

Idea of deck
Beat everyone. I was trying to change freeze mage deck, so make it playable against druid / control warrior and dont lose its general strengths. I noticed that duplicate makes both those MU's better and including more tempo cards i could finally find decent list.
Dont expect fast and easy games, this deck has some broken synergy but you must make an effort to win. And also dont try it in aggro meta, it will work mostly against dragon priests, druids and control warriors.
This deck loses to Secret Paladin, any suggestions?
Deck was playable in controlish/tempo meta(priests, druids, warriors), replacing frostbolts with esplosive sheeps can help much vs paladins, but be careful with secrets in other MU's then, dont duplicate sheeps against warriors, druids etc.
Whats your win condition?
It doesnt have certain win condition, you can play in many different ways.
1. The most sweet is effigy and duplicate on your Emperor followed by Archimage with another secrets :D
Your opponents have to trade all this stuff on board but at the same time they are making situation even worse if they do.
1. Outvalue your opponent, works against any aggro.
2. You steal tempo with early doomsayer and lead the game on board.
3. You chill and watch in safety behind walls of belchers :D
4. Nobody knows how portal on t2 can change your gameplan.
...
Twilight Drake vs Water Elemental
I didnt like Drakes because of the way people play around secrets. Nobody wants to kill a drake expecting duplicates, but elementals are annoying, they block weapons, druid's hero power, they arent saying what secret you have up so people may think you are tempo mage and make more mistakes against you.
Loatheb vs Nexus-Champion Saraad
Well, I dont have second card, but it can make your games more fun if you put Nexus.
WTF Portal?
It's a spell for Archimage, your turn 2(because frostbolt or doom you cant just play), reduced legendary/high drop, which can be broken with effigy in early game.
Matchups:
The best are: control warrior, druid, handlock
Good ones: any priest, midrange pala, tempo mage
50/50: mech decks, zoo, secret paladin, midrange hunter
Bad: face hunter, midrange shaman(assuming, because of hex)
I'm still experimenting and testing this deck, if you are interested, you can follow my stream:

Not streaming till i'm top 1 though.
Update: - 1Polymorph, + 1Portal, - Loatheb, + Healbot
Thijs made these changes, I agree with them and I hope its better for current meta. If you want to learn deck, I recommend to watch his latest streams: http://www.twitch.tv/thijshs/profile
Also learn from Eloise, she only plays this deck last time: http://www.twitch.tv/eloise_ailv/profile
If you'd like to see gameplay vs different types of priests, watch video from Khristophesaurus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXIFbzQ1VUA
I'm really glad that there are people who believe in the idea of control mage and help to improve my deck. You are awesome.
it is obvious you dont duplicate/effigy belchers against warrior or handlock, you only use secrets with 6+ drops on board, so you just play wrong way and this is why you have terrible winrate. at the point when you get board control and card advantage, you dont care about opponent's HP. i have been losing 1 game out of 10-15 against warriors, so it is more than 90% winrate. its only your fault, that you lose best possible matchup for the deck.
Anyone wanna see more control mage ? I DO !!!!!
thanks for the share :) , this deck has sparked some new ideas for me , inspired !!
Can you write mulligan guide please?
Can i swap Doomsayers from here? Dusted it last week..
I tried with one Doomsayer and one Explosive Sheep and it didn't really work; you really need double Doomsayer for this deck.
Why the heck would you dust doomsayer...
Haven't used them at all and needed Dust for Varian)))
No one uses Varian anymore lol worst card in mirror matchups and 10 mana doesn't let you respond
Nah) He is very good, but in proper conditions. You should use him after Thaurissan, Justicar and Reno. You should track and know what minions remain in deck. in 90% of times i get Sneed's shredder and Grommash in a time. And its always gg-conceded enemy.
Ok Ok. Dont use it) Its a bad-bad card. This will be my secret weapon)) Mu-ha-ha-ha)))
What are your thoughts on Rhonin in this deck?
I duplicated Nefarian twice, was so damn epic!
Favored vs. Handlock? lol
It plays like a freeze mage, so it is favored.
My opinion about this deck is that it needs more minions .. not talking about tech cards .. like Healbot/BGH/Doomsayer .. I would consider removing 1x Arcane intellect 1x Duplicate in the aggro meta .. since Dup IS SO DAAYUM SLOW!!
Antoni feels bad without Rhonin :( I made a tempo mage my self and went from rank 7 with 4 stars to legend with 39-3 score and almost 60% of the games I played vs control was THE MIGHT OF DALARAN HAS ARRIVED!! .. 2 minutes later YOU REQUIRE MY ASSITANCE? BAM BAAAM PEWM POOM BAAM BAAAM BAAAAM!
2x Healbot is important .. but the new 4 mana 3/5 give both charecters +4 health might be good as well .. against control you won't have many problems with health .. against aggro you kinda need a bigger body on your board and the health .. and in the both ways you won't care about the opponent's health (except if he is at 3 or less of course :P )
Arcane intellect isn't something I would consider putting in every meta .. because you will kinda .. Hero power pass .. hero power pass xD you will have the cards already .. except if you are digging for a card like Alex next turn
and I think I would consider removing 1x Belcher for 1x Loatheb or Azure drake or even saraad .. seems kinda fun and it should be useful .. specially loatheb since IT'S A CRAAAZY CARD! and Harrison in it's meta / Flamewaker with it's valuable PSEWW PSEWWW!
AND WHY THE HELL IS SOMEBODY PLAYING A CONTROL DECK WITH NO DR.7?? HAAAH ? HAAAAAH?
Yeah .. should consider putting Boom/sylvanas or both to make it similar to make it like Control war where you take the game after turn 5-6
After all .. the deck is so damn crazy .. (I STILL THINK MY CHANGES ARE BETTER!!!) and I don't know how he went to top 1 while all those paladins around .. maybe he was lucky to not meet them :)
See ya (^.^)/
He got rank 1 with druid that's all
*Cringe* You some kind of MLP fanboy or something? This post.... eughh. Roleplayer.
I've never lost to people playing this deck. Was just talking to someone about how this deck is basically just annoying, but has no possible chance of winning.
I see your incredible rng though ... I guess maybe your rng is just that amazing that you can magically pull off strings of incredibly lucky wins? idk, even with terrible rng vs opponents getting legendaries from portals I've still never lost to this and have a hard time believing it has legitimate success for players with anything below extraordinary luck / rng.
meta tends to be more control in legend and there are points when its more than 60% control, i remember a lot of seasons when you couldnt play rogue for example because in last days there were only control warriors and handlocks
What is your opinion on bloodmage thalnose?
what for? 2 frostbolts and flamestrikes? its very bad here
