Originally inspired by a deck I saw Forsen playing the other week, this deck was a large factor in helping me get to legend for the first time - a goal that I had really been struggling with for months.
The deck makes use of the standard mech cards, in addition to Mana Wyrm and Unstable Portal which are just great Mage cards that help the deck often snowball out of control, more or less deciding the game by turn 4 or 5.
Another useful card that was recently released in LoE is the Gorillabot A-3, which I found really helpful at adjusting the deck to work well in different matchups. Discovering a Sneed's Old Shredder or a Piloted Sky Golem against a control deck could really swing things into my favour, while a Snowchugger or Annoy-o-Tron could buy me a few more turns vs face decks.
I feel this deck has the potential to contest almost any deck popular in the meta right now. From experience it seemed to do particularly well against all types of druid, while struggling a little bit against aggro shaman if I didn't get a good mulligan. More importantly, the deck does not fare too poorly vs secret paladin, which I feel like I come up against nearly every game. Sometimes I would keep Frostbolt in my opening hand if I didn't have another 2 drop so as to deal with a Secretkeeper or Knife Juggler and not get too far behind on board.
[EDIT] Added Piloted Sky Golem as a replacement for Archmage Antonidas, as it is probably more suited to the current meta, and is also not reliant on having spells to cast.
[EDIT 2] Getting over 40,000 views is insane, and far more than I ever expected on my first deck upload. I'm very thankful to everyone who upvoted or commented on the deck. I hope you all have fun climbing with the deck, and thanks again <3
Hi, can i replaceLoatheb with [card] Ragnaros the Firelord[/card]? and i really dont wanna let go of my Pyroblast which card can i replace to put my Pyroblast?
Love this deck; Ran this exact list for most of my climb last season (sometimes subbing Archmage Antonidas for Ragnaros the Firelord depending on the meta I was facing). I'd encourage people to try it out if they have him but don't have Antonidas. The reach it provides can be pretty crazy. Generally, Antonidas was of course better though. And good advice in the comment section
Can I replace Archmage Antonidas with sneed's old shredder?
Why the mana worms? I feel like you wont get that much value out of them but maybe an Arcane Intellect instead would fix the running out of cards problem.
I find I'm running out of cards in hand too quickly, since I don't have Archmage Antonidas. What would you recommend I use instead?
This is just this deck but with Loatheb instead of a second Clockwork Knight. Why would you create a new deck instead of just commenting the change on this one...?

Hi,
I was wondering what you do to clear board? I feel that I need flamestrike to survive... :(
thx Greg :)
my GF is playing a deck similar to this and shes having a hard time to clear their board without any sort of board clears. thats why I asked. hehe
Absolutley love this deck ive been playing with mech mage but didnt consider portals, just played my first 2 games with this deck and got a turn 6 brann with dr boom in hand the other game i got another boom after playing my first with portal. :) think im going to go buy a lottery ticket
I have run a list fairly similar to this one. I have been wondering whether substituting a Piloted Sky Golem for Archmage Antonidas is worth it, since there are only single copies of Clockwork Gnome and Tinkertown Technician, so less spare parts.
This is regular mechmage deck. Don't win all aggro decks with semi-goldfish. Free hand after 6-7 turns if [card]Gorillabot A-3[/card] not in your hand. +1, but this is fun, no more!
