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
What do you guys think about replacing the Clockwork Knight with a Junkbot? Both are 5 drops, but the Junkbot, while slow, has more potential in my opinion.
HI there, i have neither a sneed nor a skygolem and I can't craft either of them at the moment. i have every other card, so is there a good replacement? and I don't have archmage either =\
you don't need sneeds its way too slow...try adding mech yeti or 2nd clockwork knight...:)
Nvm, i disenchanted some useless card i had in collected and made sky golem :D
Great deck thx dude ,Do you think I can get legend with this deck in the current meta, I'm actually rank 7 on the EU server ( struggling with midrange hunter / zoolock ) ?
Ok, I think I'll give it a try anyway ...
What is a good replacement for gorillabot?
I think the Gorillabot is really important cause mech Mage run out of steem often.
What do you think of replacing both Fireballs with Forgotten Torches?
Thanks for replying! I'm getting excellent results with this deck so far in casual and want to test it in ranked. My biggest challenge in terms of opponents so far has been a mech rogue, who played Enhance-o Mechano to great effect. What do you think about putting in this card? If so, what would you swap it for?
The issue with Enhance-o Mechano is it's one of those cards that requires an already prevalent board to be effective.
this deck is toxic
I am currently really enjoying playing this deck, I think with the right starting hands it really has no weak match up, but you can say the same for a lot of the over powered decks out in ladder. But anyways, I never really had ever thought of using the Gorillabot but then once again I have not really played Mage competitively until this season, and I can say that I am clearly enjoying it a lot, this deck is really fun to play with and is able to control any opponent due to all the freezes it has and the extra burst from the spells. I recorded a pretty good game that pretty much shows you the key cards that come to play in this deck, you are free to use the video as a guide or whatever you please to do with it. I hope everyone that's reading this has a great day and night!
With only six spells in the deck, is it really worth running Mana Wyrm?
chiken rank deck
I'm reading all these comments and first of all let me say this deck is wonderful so far even though I'm missing both of the Gorillabots, lotheb, and Piloted Sky Golem. My question is: Is "LOE" REALLY worth it for Gorillabot? I'm only missing 4 cards and then should I put Antonidas in there instead of Sky Golem?
LOE has many valuable cards, and for that fact alone is worth it.
Gorillabot A-3 in particular is a very powerful card. Surprisingly so. Sure, there are other 4-drops you can replace it with and still have the deck tick, but it definitely won't be the same.
Climbed to rank 14 this far, no antonidas, but can be replaced for anything that help you slow down damage like Sludge or anything with Taunt even Loatheb can work. Great deck, sometimes it's a quick death but it's worth trying, good chances.
This deck just a piece of crap against secret pala. ty
