.. thx for the great feedback! :)
From rank 14 to rank 6 in a couple of days, I didn't have Archmage so i replaced it with a second Firelands Portal. Overall a good deck, thanks
You have Sorcerer's Apprentice and Cult Sorcerer and need to trade a minion with 3 attack. What do you trade? what's more important? Spell damage or spell costs? Most of the time it depends on what you have in hand, but what's more valuable to this deck?
Currently 0-6. Fucking never lucky even with perfect draw.
The bulk of this deck is based off of RNG, especially with the spells you get. You can tell by your opening hand/mulligan how well you'll do.
You don't need Cabalists Tome, but you should try to get the Arcane Blasts asap if you enjoy playing Mage. I would replace Thalnos with a four drop (eg. Water Elemental) not Loot Hoarder. Look up older lists for inspiration
The problem with missing Babbling Book and Cabalist's Tome is that you're missing out on the extra spells you need to help clear board/feed Archmage Antonidas. Those Fireballs come in real handy, especially when dealing with control decks.
At least 1 Cabalist's Tome is needed, 1 Tome can be replaced with 1 Ethereal Conjurer. Arcane Blast is a must have IMO, you should have least one. Paired with Spell Damage Arcane Blast is the only card that will easily swing tempo advantage back when you fall behind early on or this will help you to snowball when you're ahead. Babbling book is a pretty good T1 play too, gives spell as fuel for Yogg or Anto. T1 book is annoying on other classes specially warriors, this can bait out 1 charge of winaxe or opposing this will continiously chip armor away from your opponent. You can replace some them with decent mage cards, but without Cabalist's Tome or Babbling Book you are decreasing Yogg's late game effectiveness. Most of the card you mentioned important pieces that makes this deck work. Honestly I would suggest a different deck. You should at least have half of them. I mean you're missing 7 out of 30 that's about 25% of the deck..
Unless you have a huge amount of dust or want to play in wild, I wouldn't draft Arcane Blasts; they have a life expectancy of 6 months.
Cabalist's Tome is more worthwhile, and Bloodmage Thalnos is real value.
Roaring torch is fine (not great) as a replacement for blast, but it's probably your best bet. I would replace all cards you're missing with low-cost spells.
Currently 8-9, keep losing to hunters and malyyogg druid.... i could be shit xD RANK 5 currently
I do not have Anotonidas but I do have Rag, I see everywhere that Rag is just as good but I am not convinced. I just want to know why is Rag just as good as Antonidas? isn't the possibility of getting multiple Fireballs better than getting 8 damage face? Also between Antonidas and Fandral (just missing him for the Druid deck) which should I craft?
antonidas is better in this deck because of the fack that you can use antonidas to get multiple fireballs againts control match-ups as where all rag could do is dealing 8 damage and get removed the next turn by hex,execute,entomb,shadow word:death.... But antonidas can get removed by these but instead of an 8 damage on turn it gives you fireballs that you can use to remove minions of his. which is more value by all means. And i would suggest adding emperor by removing the flamestrike.
-Omg i'm going to loose this game.
'plays yogg'
-jk :3
Im not sure about Antonidas maybe can i put better card? RAg maybe?
Using Rag instead of Antonidas in avery similar deck ( 2 mirror image 1 cabalist) and work just fine, at least when played in right time you have instant impact. Try it and you will see.
this deck sucks against aggro
What i can replace Arcane Blast × 1 and Cabalist's Tome × 1 I have only one copy this card
Replace this card on Taurisan and Acidic Swamp or (Harryson)
Thanks for the share! I really like the art on Babbling Book funny stuff! Also like that you can add two Tomes in this meta nice :D !
Well when ''tempo'' mage is the most skill intensive tier 1 deck,you realise how shitty the meta has become...
As for the deck remove a cabalist for emperor and you are ready to go.This deck counters hard most of shamans and hunters so it's really strong.
The word tempo should be replaced with "Ignore board and fireball face until Yogg"
Win condition: generate infinite amount of random spells to burn your opponent down. Basically every tempo mage ATM. Winning only thanks to luck.
