The power of this deck comes from Animated Armor which is harder to kill than normal, requiring a removal option. Wee Spellstopper is there to protect the armor from that. Other than that, the deck is centered around tempo, burn spells and has Ice Block for increased survival. Illuminator works well with Ice Block and Wee Spellstopper and can absolutely destroy aggro decks.
Shoutout to GTazDevil for the Illuminator idea.
Total garbage. 0-8 with this deck. I'm ranked 7. Doesn't work in the current Meta. You owe me my time back I wasted on this crap deck and the juice is running.
Ahahaha, made my day dude :)
I'l give you a hint, look at deck type.
I had fun using the deck, i went a total of about 20 wins before my first loss. I decided to play it out for 50 matches and see what happened. Ending record was 42-8, some of the decks showing up between yesterday and today have better ways of lasting, so the win-rate fell a little towards the end. But still a solid deck for the week.
this deck is pure toxic and makes all the other classes no fun.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I agree Blizz should ban some cards according to the Tavern Brawl (Mage is frequently OP).
But while they don't, toxic times require toxic measures.
Got 5-0 easy, great deck. Animated Armor is MVP, but the tempo is so great sometimes you don't even need it.
Sorry for shitty mobile screenshot. The goddamn Knife Juggler hit two knives but it was not enough. Frothing Berserker from Unstable Portal + Flamewaker + 2 Arcane Missiles was pretty sweet.
I had a Frost Giant on the board. Played Animated armor + Echo of Medivh, then got "Your opponent left". LOL
For lack of Wee Spellstopper I put in one Ethereal Arcanist and one Ethereal Conjurer. Both fit very well. Never drew the armor, but I Duplicated the Arcanist early and both grew with an Ice Block. Conjurer got me an extra Frostbolt. Eventually my kill turn was double Fireball and Mana Wyrm.
Hey i got my first ever shoutout :D thanks!
Replaced 2x Arcane Blast by Duplicate and Counterspell. Works well to protect the Wee Spellstopper AND it gives more juice to Illuminator!
I like the counterspell. Arcane blast is really useless so you can replace it with almost anything. The hardest match up I have had was a priest surprisingly. 8-1 so far.
Worked very fine for me, first try and I got the free pack.
I made some replacements for missed cards:
Arcane Blast x2 -> Forgotten Torch x2
Illuminator x2 -> Kezan Mystic/Ethereal Conjurer
Most of the players here say it's very good, and I agree. That's assuming you're playing it properly while correctly anticipating your opponent's next moves. A few tweaks can make it even better, like Flamestrike, a Polymorph, some card draw spells or spell generating minions etc. I included a few of my own tweaks here as well in one of the next pages, but again the main factor as always is you.
You should expect some secret stealing (use a Kezan to get it back) and possibly some instant removal on your Animated Armor if it's not protected or duplicated, so don't only rely on these or on the Flamewakers for your wins.
Mage is quite strong in the brawl, just not this slow thing.
Anyone using Mage in this TB is such a rookie. Animated armor well played is crazy,
Why no famestrike in this deck?
EDIT: I took out Duplicate and put in flamestrike and works perfect.
It seems like whatever 3 decks make front page on day 1 of brawl stay there even when better decks emerge. Don't be fooled. Priest has a better win rate. Priest cards grow 2 attack per heal, and Mass Dispel takes down minion-based defense shenanigans like the armor and spell stopper. Lightbomb also mops up. There's also Power Word Glory which I find out (the hard way) works for them even if you steal their minion.
Don't forget Power Word: Glory can help you survive the burst face hunters.
Hey if you like this deck (which I do, great deck by the way) but want to switch it up a little, check out my version! It focuses more on hard removal with spells and combo-ing with secrets like Duplicate and Counterspell. Hope you like it!

17-0 so far, opponent will concede by turn 4, or you will finish by turn 8-9. Great deck!
