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.
Hello. What's easier to replace: Archmage Antonidas or Alexstrasza. Unfortunately and don't have enough dust to create both of them? Any suggestions?
Neither is really easy to replace. They are both win conditions for this deck. Archmage, spell, spell, Alex, fireball, fireball, frostbolt, dead.
If you had to, Alex would be the one. Ysera / rag could do in his place.
It's only good when you have a secret in hand. Otherwise, it's pretty underwhelming. Ideally you want your secrets fished out for free using the mad scientists, anyway.
I think the problem is, if you Duplicate the Mage, it loses value because you probably won't have two more Secrets in hand. And if you pop Effegy with it, you're only breaking even on the three mana.
Fun first game with the deck
10/15 Lorewalker! xD
u have Archmage Antonidas
pyro too expensive... by the time you can cast it, most games are long over. Unstable portal can be a super win depending on what it pulls for you.
awesome deck, i love pokemonz and pokket she is shot
tbh, this deck is garbage, every aggro deck takes you 30-0 every game, and that is sadly about 90% of the match ups, about 15 games now, don't think i ever managed to do more than 10 damage to the opponent, heck cant even kill more than 2 creatures you are dead ahead on turn 5 where they silence your sludge and you die miserably...
He mentions in the text that it is a bad idea to play it in an aggro meta. This deck is really strong against really slow/control opponents.
No rhonin? lol
trash deck. tempo much better
Who even plays facehunter these days? meet them like 1/50 games. All combo druids/secret pala/midrange hunter/tempo mage/patrons for me.
I'm jealous.
~80% of people from rank 20 to rank 13, imo. 25 games vs facehunter in a row, feels great. Havent seen any other class then scumter\cancerdin\patron cancer for 2 weeks already.
hi, sorry for bad english
This kid thought he was smart and got rekted by me.
This deck doesn't work because it needs to relies heavily on Iceblock and Blizzard. There isn't a point to build a board since you will doomsayer the board most of the time. No ice lance? really? How are you going to pull off the perfect turn 9 to 10 combo?
Blue = Tempo Mage
Red= This trash deck
It's my opinion anyway but I steamrolled this deck yesterday and I haven't seen much of it now. It was a good try building a deck though (no sarcasm)
What kind of idiot are you? Freeze Mages ONLY weakness is Kezan Mystic and that's it. Freeze Mage favors slower decks instead of faster decks so there's no advantage there. I killed the trash deck before turn 8 which means I didn't even need to use combo. Too bad I don't record my games but all games were one sided. Sorry I only lost twice to Tempo mages and rekted all mech mages.
Go crawl back into your basement.
