Went crazy with replacements.

The deck desperately needed things on board against its harder match-ups, spell power is incredible both early and late game, sheepy sheepy spell is more expensive in some situations, but infinitely more reliable than forbidden flame.

Rag is disgusting in the meta, but also the card I think can be replaced the easiest (flamestrike for aggro heavy meta, yogg for that comfy "oh crap" play to miraculously go from losing hard to winning hard).

Sylvanas is value, pure and simple. Faceless summoner is another value card and since we don't run yogg or double tome, I felt he played much better than thaurissan.

There is so much you can do with tempo mage now, it's easily my favorite deck in the game. Go crazy and enjoy!

Update 5/31/2016: replaced sylv with 1x flamestrike for early ladder climb. May consider going back in a heavy control meta, but flamestrike deals with all but like... ramp druid these days, so it may be a permanent deckslot. 

Update 6/18/2016: replaced tony with yogg. may replace poly with 2nd faceless summoner. Hurts our fatigue match-up, but increases our chances against pretty much every other deck. 

Update 8/13/2016: Will be running more spells for early wins at the sacrifice of late game. Please don't play flamewaker without at least 2 spells to work with. I also foresee malchezaar being a wildly unfair card. May even consider elise in the deck, will have to test all of these changes of course. Turns out malchezaar is fun, just not... good. So I run faceless summoner for turn 6 curve.  

Update 9/19/2016: Yes... I still update and play this deck on ladder heh. Thalnos in place of 1x mirror image as spellpower is OP and we have enough answers for early aggro. It gives us answers to druid ramp in the form of double spellpower minion arcane blast. I am currently rocking firelands portal in place of flamestrike. The meta just isn't as demanding of aoe and board presence on curve mid-late game is OP in tempo mage a la faceless summoner results. Also Babbling Book is OP and you shouldn't trust any current meta snapshot tempo mage deck that doesn't run 2 of them.

Update 9/28/2016: With Yogg's nerf announced, I don't believe we need a slew of spells, so I've done away with ethereal and yogg for 2nd faceless and flamestrike. I honestly don't quite know what should go in yogg's place, but we played him for an emergency board clear. Rag could see play again, since his effect is "quick" and could get rid of the odd large minion, but... who knows?
