This deck is designed for the upcoming balance changes in which Yogg is receiving a nerf. The deck uses early game cards such as Mana Wyrm and Babbling Book to get cheap and powerful plays off early. This keeps the game controlled while you play to tempo and eventually win by overpowering your opponent. This deck is not aggro but is faster than most tempo decks, however with the addition of two Arcane Giant's you can easily make a late game swing turn with Flamestrike or Firelands Portal into one or two Arcane Giants.

 

The post on Reddit "After reading the patch notes, and playing around with a Tempo Mage deck suggested by the "Well Met" podcast, I started to wonder how you would design a Tempo Mage without Yogg in the current meta. This is the deck that I settled on. With early bodies such as babbling book, mana wyrm and sorcerers apprentice, then mirror image to delay a turn if needed and Flamewaker to get some damage and control is a very powerful potential opener. If you don't draw into these cards then you still have the board control to stay even. You are then able to finish with Mage's strong mid to late game cards and spells such as faceless summoner, firelands portal and flamestrike to take the win. This combination of powerful cards and spells that allow you to keep control or dominate in the early game or outlast most decks and win in the late game. Try out the deck and leave your win rate below."
