You can find me using this deck in action on Twitch during the day at http://www.twitch.tv/tdsyonkou (currently a new streamer). Although I've played with many different decks, it feels this deck is the most easiest to pick up on and seems good all around except vs Grim Warriors or sometimes Dragon Priests.
Complete Deck list
Proof of Legend Status
This is a very simple and affordable deck to play with or craft. Most Tempo Mage Decks are all similar but I believe my version is considered Tier 1 instead of Tier 2 since the results have been phenomenal. I've reached as far as Rank 19 this season but i forgot to screenshot it. It only took me 8 days to get Legend with this deck this season because i stop playing after 100 gold for the day.
There are many Mage Tempo Decks that uses extra monsters for spare parts, but I believe all that is unnecessary. This deck is solid all around already and you do not need the extra monsters for the spare parts. I also believe Boom is such a better drop than Rhonin even with the extra 3 arcane missiles. Most could argue that arcane blast is good for the deck for a 1 mana cost spell, but I believe it's too gimmicky. It can only be utilized for early board clear for 2 damage or a small boost to your flamewaker which is pretty much the main card theme for this deck.
As for arcane intellect, the reason why I only run one instead of two is because since I'm running 2 Drakes. I felt that one arcane intellect was more than sufficient, because i wanted to put 3 secrets in instead of 2 when I'm running 2 mad scientists. It is just so much more value when you run 3 secrets with 2 scientists on board. Without saying, Archmage Antonidas is your main backup monster when things are going bad or well... going well. LOL.
I could go on and on about how to play vs each deck but I'm just going to give you some quick tips:
- Always keep a Flamewaker in your starting hand if you get the coin VS Hunter or Paladin. If you also have arcane missiles in your starting hand that would be awesome to keep too or mirror images.
- The best starting hand to have: is always mana wyrm, mad scientist, and frost bolt / flamecannon. When you are fighting any class, having at least one spell in your starting hand is always a bonus, especially VS Druid for Darnassuss.
- When you fight against Warriors and have Mana Wyrm and Mirror Image in starting hand, don't hesitate to use both at once on turn 1. Sometimes an early Assault like that with Win Axe prevention will give you an early edge against their armor. To be honest, I find Warrior to be the worst match up for Mage Tempo Deck.
- There are so many more things to cover and I'm such a lazy person. So if you want to know more and learn more about how i play go ahead and catch me on Twitch whenever.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY HAVE FUN =)
Anyway i wanna craft him, because i want golden mage and nowdays nobody playes without Antoni. my goal is to craft all cards for freeze mage
My goal is 9 golden heroes, 5 out of 9 so far =)
Not sure what you meant by that there, but good luck on legend!
dragon priest player here...great looking deck dude.. only 300 dust and ill be able to buy Dr.7 ...have antonidas already....then i can try it finally :D
Hahaha, hopefully you get some decent stuff in your packs then instead of the typical 40 dusts.
Boom. Best legendary in the game right now, and when it gets nerfed you can dust for 1600
If you're in it for the long run boom goes pretty well in any deck, but i think Archmage is pretty viable in this deck. I would recommend Archmage instead of boom, but that's just me. Also disenchanting a non golden legendary will get you only 400 dusts, i wouldn't recommend disenchanting any legendaries unless you really need the dusts.
What about playing Thalnos ? instead of what ?
Well if you're going to play Thalnos the obvious choice would be to replace azure drake for the spell damage + card draw.
But is it better than Azure Drake ?
IMO Azure Drake is better, but you asked for a replacement and that was the best option. If you don't want to get rid of Azure drake, go ahead and replace a secret for Thalnos.
Any replacement for Archmage? I don't have any non-adventure legends besides Boom.
That is going to be tough since you're limited to only adventure legends from the wings besides Boom considering there aren't that many legendaries in the adventure sets to begin with. I guess you could try one of the legendaries from blackrock mountain and see how that works out for you. I'm sure with the limited legend list you have it's going to be very tough to climb though, but i think if you play consistently you may be able to reach rank 5 or so.
Would loatheb work? Or maybe nefarian?
I don't have a solid answer for that, you would have to try and experiment yourself sorry.
Pyroblast or Ravenholdt Assassin is good replacement imho.
I have everything but the two legendaries... What Can i replace with it? thanks <3
I guess you could try adding in Nexus Champion and Ragnaros. I would suggest Rhonin too, but without Antonidas it won't work that well if you add in Rhonin for the extra missiles. As far for other legendaries / cards; i guess just experiment with them and see how it works out.
Not really. It's a tempo mage, so the cards tend to go low on curve, and as you're running only one arcane intellect, you'll run out of cards and that will be a problem around turn 6~7 (even having the tempo of the game), so Azure Drake kinda solves this problem with a 5 mana card 4/4 body that draws a card and has +1 spell power, which synergizes pretty well with this deck.
Thanks for the very detailed explanation Beggari; I couldn't have explained it better myself.
