Hello everybody! I'm Peto Martinez, Hearthstone and MTG player from Argentina.

Mulligan Guide
Against Pirate Warrior, Aggro/Jade Shaman, Pirate Rogue:
Keep Arcane Blast, Frostbolt, Volcanic Potion, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Doomsayer. If you already have one of these you can keep Ice Block or Ice Barrier.
Against Reno Warlock, Reno Mage or any Reno deck:
Keep Arcane Intellect, Babbling Book, Kabal Courier, Kazakus and Brann Bronzebeard.
Against Dragon Priest:
Keep Frostbolt, Forgotten Torch, Polymorph, Fireball and Arcane Intellect.
Combos
Arcane Blast + Azure Drake/Bloodmage Thalnos: Try to play Thalnos only when you are going to kill an important guy or clean the board. 4 damage for 1 mana with Arcane Blast is all you need to keep your board in a good position.
Brann Bronzebeard: This card is amazing in the deck, it has a lot of sinergy with most of the minions in the deck. Babbling Book, Kabal Courier, Kazakus, Mind Control Tech & Azure Drake are always good targets. Obviously what do you want to do is play Kazakus with this card. Never play Manic Soulcaster with it, I have lose a game because of this.
Inkmaster Solia + Kazakus: Revive 3 Minions and Draw 3 cards having a 5/5 extra minion for 7 mana sounds good, isn't it? Almost every combination of 10 mana spells works perfect with her.
Ice Block + Reno Jackson/Alexstrasza: This secret let you play in a more comfortable way if you have Reno in your hand. Try to worry about getting the more card advantage as possible and Ice Block without getting triggered. If your opponent tries to kill you he will have to commit a lot of board and if he doesn't he will give you all the time you need to stabilize the game.
Screenshots
Here are some screenshot when I reach rank 3 without losing a game.
Against Aggro Shaman:
Against Dragon Priest
Against Pirate Rogue
Against Pirate Warrior
Replacements
Epic Cards
Arcane Blast: Any cheap spell that make damage like Forbidden Flame or Arcan
Ice Block: Irreplaceable
Cabalist's Tome: Ethereal Conjurer
Doomsayer: I can't find a good replacement for this. Maybe you should play another 2 drop.
Legendary Cards:
Inkmaster Solia: Archmage Antonidas
Bloodmage Thalnos: Kobold Geomancer/Loot Hoarder
Brann Bronzebeard: Irreplaceable
Kazakus: Irreplaceable
Reno Jackson: Irreplaceable
Alexstraza: Ragnaros the Firelord
Just try to have an harmony beyond all your cards, e.g: If you're playing Archamage Antonidas play cheap spell.
Tutorial Video
I want to give special thanks to kiwiinbacon for this incredible tutorial video. He's a great player and the video is so fun.
Here you have a second video of a Latin American player like me. You have a lot of matchups and you can see how the deck works from another perspective. Follow Cythe O2 in his channel.
A third video from a nice guy called FraggedByDay, follow him on his channel!
Inkmaster Reno Mage v2.0
I have made a few changes to improve the deck against aggro decks, here they are:
-1 Emperor Thaurissan
-1 Manic Soulcaster
-1 Forbidden Flame
+1 Mirror Image
+1 Mistress of Mixtures
+1 Refreshment Vendor
It's still having some issues against Jade Shaman but it gets a lot better vs any Warrior and Rogue deck.
You don't get bonus stars for rank 5 and under. That is why the legend climb is so grindy.
Someone has never gotten past rank 20...
I'm not talking about Win Streak as Hearthstone use it. I know that I don't have bonus by winning games with no loses, I'm just saying I have a "Win Streak" (meaning: no loses) from rank 4 to 3. I'm not here to lie, nobody pays me for post this deck, I'm only trying to contribute to the hearthstone comunity, you're all seeing details that are only negative and you're just making people not to post more decks because you always have something to say about.
I crafted Inkmaster Solia tonight and wasnt too sure of the purchase. I played this deck and I think i'll keep playing it :D I love Her she is so fun + free potions are the best kind of potions! Deck is strong and relevant in the current meta. I definitely recommend you to try it out :D
I made a video showcasing the deck and I hope you guys enjoy (what is the %chance of that many ice blocks ?!?)
wouldnt recommend this deck for climbing
Great deck thanks! i got to rank5 on a 9-0 win streak.
I made 2 changes:
- Forbidden Flame
+ Mirror Entity
- Inkmaster Solia
+ Flamewaker
THX!!! Get a legend.
So I was thinking about adding another heal to the deck, because I often havent drawn a secret or reno until T6 and I just die against pirates. I don't really like mistress of mixtures because often I have to play her on T1 and don't get any heal from her deathrattle. So I thought about adding refreshment vendor for MCT. What do you think? :)
I absolutely hate MCT. Anyone who has played with it in their deck for any amount of time knows what a liability it is. It rarely gets value, even if you manage to steal a minion with it. Refreshment Vendor is a better choice on almost every level. It heals you, and its high health helps you control the board after you play it (especially against aggro).
cant tell if this deck is actually good or not since you cheesed the upvoting system by holding your guide ransom. guess i'll stick with what i already know works.
I have hold the guide for only 10 likes. What about all the other 144?
Inkmaster with no Pyroblast? Makes me sad.
Why do you want 10 Damage if you're not going to win? Don't your prefer to make 6 to all minions and then revive 3 of your own?
then why are you here trolling his post x)
This deck cant handle Rank 15-11 cancer decks. This is crap
Hi target2804! What if you try customizing the list against aggro? Maybe you can add Mistress of Mixtures, Dirty Rat, Refreshment Vendor and Second-Rate Bruiser. You should build your own decklist and think about what you're playing against. If you want a list for begginers in rank 15-11 maybe you should look for another decks.
Look at the similar decks tab, now back to this deck. Now back to the similar tabs, now back to this deck.
Realize this list was posted many times before and there is NOTHING special about it, nor any new insights.
It's the same Savjz Reno Mage deck that was posted on the front page of Hearthstone. Why do people keep up-voting duplicate decks like the author is some kind of a genius for coming up with the list?
Sorry, but nobody was playing Inkmaster Solia before me. I think I was the first one to try it out and maybe people is voting me because of that.
Cheers
