Anti-Meta DemoMage
*Update*
Thanks for helping me having this decklist #1 in Hearthpwn! Love you guys! I will try to make more decks as soon as the new expansion be introduced. Whoever wants to upload a gameplay of this deck, make sure it credits the author and has a link to the decklist in the video description. Once you send me your video in personal message (and it meets all the requirements as mentioned above) it may be uploaded in the deck description on "Gameplays" section. Until next time, stay perfect :)
Hello, my name is Indina Demo, Greek player of Hearthstone for almost 3 years and I'm here to help you climb faster. This deck will help you to deal with every Aggro deck such as Combo Druid -with their broken combo- , Cancer Paladin -with their annoying secrets- and of course Face Hunter and Aggro Shaman. The main concept is to put Ice Block on the board and when they break it you can play Reno Jackson. This deck helped me reach Rank 5 from Rank 19 in almost 2 days. Try it too!
Vs Druid: Mulligan for Arcane Missles, Flamewaker and Acolyte of Pain. Next turns ping Acolyte of Pain to search for Ice Block. When you draw it, put it on board ASAP! Now you destroyed his combo. Congratulations! Now the next you want to get is Reno Jackson. When you play him the next turn the opponent broke your Ice Block, you get +29 hp and you have full advantage as he will have no combo to play. And that's how you destroy his deck. If all fails play Loatheb in turn 8 (or 6 if he had played Emperor Thaurissan) and delay his combo in order to have more chances to draw Ice Block. DO NOT LET HIM DAMAGE YOU, IF YOU HAVE 16 HP IN TURN 9 (OR 7) YOU ARE DEAD.
Vs Secret Paladin: Mulligan forArcane Missles, Flamewaker, Acolyte of Pain andBig Game Hunter. As mentioned before, the thing you want to put on board is Reno Jackson and Ice Block, but at this time you don't have to rush it. Basically wait for the secret paladin and activate his Secret Chain. Avenge must be played on Mysterious Challenger so do not, under any circumstances, let him have other minions on board. When Avenge is on Mysterious Challenger, simply kill it with your Big Game Hunter. When this happen just play tempo and everything will be alright
Vs Aggro Hunter-Shaman: Mulligan for Acolyte of Pain, Arcane Missles, Flamewaker, Frostbolt,Flamecannon and Arcane Blast. Just ping their low minions and kill them with spells mentioned above. Rush draw with pinging Acolyte of Pain and Arcane Intellect in order to draw Ice Block and Reno Jackson combo. When you have these 2 cards, the possibilities to win are over 96%. Not to mention that many of them may rage-quit ;)
Vs Control Decks: Just keep a tempo and try to hit face when opponents minions are not dangerous. Remember playing against Control Decks may be deifficult to win but keep in mind that very few play control decks in this meta. At least not that much as the decks mentioned above!

I get 1 card counters this deck mentality and all but, how many people are going to see this deck enough to tech in Kezan? I'd still play it until it no longer works for you :D
Yeah but anti-meta decks usually gets into meta and that leads of this deck being a meta deck everyone plays, because it works. So people will carry 1 Kezan Mystic to counter this deck. I'm just thinking for the future.
EDIT: So my point here is that this will never get into meta as long as there is a card to steal that Ice Block. Also Flare in Hunter decks will destroy this completly if it ever gets to meta.
Why not replace ice barrier so mad scientist has to draw into ice block which you find crucial to your strategy?
I got Elise Starseeker from an Unstable Portal in one game. I had the same idea back then but I lost the game badly and it was just a 3/5 drop in the end. Current meta doesn't fit for that card because games are usually really fast. It could maybe work as counter for super late-game decks, but not against anything else.
Hmm, what about polymorph? anything to be switched? I kind of got rekt by tirion twice in a row haha
i think you can replace ice block with polymorph. ice block is usefull when you need a turn more to win the game.
using this deck, in my opinion, you want to survive at the beginning, trade well in middle game and finally control board until finishing him.
it's a good deck, but, probably, a removal instead ice block should be better
A typical & common Reno mage with two changes (Rag + Loatheb).
I think Sylvanas is better than Ragnaros but it's just my opinion.
Hey! Interesting list wasn't too sure about it without Echo but it seems to be working just fine for me so woot :D ? Had a blast with it thanks for sharing with the community yoh!
Haha thanks yoh XD ! There will be much more vids to come :D !
how about have 2 reno jacksons?
Had to try it to believe it for myself. This deck works stunningly well against Combo Druid, Aggro Shaman, Face Hunter, and Secret Paladin. It is pretty bad against almost everything else but is an anti-meta choice that reflects strong deck building skills. Interesting and fun deck.
I've played many variations of Reno Mage and this doesn't look good. It's like the author couldn't decide between a tempo or value-based deck and decided to go for both. You can't have it both ways
Because that early game (Mana Wyrm, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Blast etc.) become increasingly bad as the game advances.
Doomsayer, Explosive Sheep and co are much more appropriate choices in a Grinder Mage deck
Managed to beat a control Priest by turn 9 because it drew like a tempo mage. Beat a murloc paladin by counter-spelling one of his anyfins, reno'd after he popped my iceblock, then duplicated reno to win. This deck is insanely fun. Love that it doesn't run echo of medivh. Try out this deck.
why do you play no Echo of Medivh?
Decks like this is a proof that hearthpwn will upvote anything and everything . and an answer to your question if " this to deck on the site will help you climb" because it won't ..
I take everything on this site with a grain of salt. What do you think the average deckbuilding/play skill of a hearthpwn user is? If you can build a deck and tweak it until you get legend you are probably far above most users on this site. People usually upvote based on feeling or emotion rather than how good a deck is anyway. People will upvote almost any deck with some fudged stats, a short guide, and a clickbait title.
