Update: 06/06/2017 : Card Choice
before I start, I would like to say sorry to some of you guys that i've caused unnecessary uncomfortable and unpleasant feelings to you. I didn't mean that and I'd like to stress that I didn't care for votes. I've some unique decks with full guides as well in the past couples of patch. I didn't expect this deck to get upvotes since it's the meta. But however, I apologize for causing trouble.

here's my proof that i actually got to legend. I played this deck when i'm at rank 3. I might not have the stats to proof it which makes my claimed here really unconvincing. The reason is because i always delete the deck and create again and i reset my stats to know see the tech cards work. That's very silly of me. I shouldn't do that. I'll remember
Special thanks to kiwiinbacon for showcase the deck. Check out this video below.
Mulligan
against aggro druid, and pirate warriors, midrange hunter, murloc paladin, and shaman
when facing against these aggressive decks just do effective trades and try to clear there board. That's pretty simple right. Mulligan for an early Aoe spell can save you from losing early on. Once you can control the board it's easy now for the late game.
keep: Mana Wyrm, Arcanologist, Volcanic Potion,Frostbolt, and Gluttonous Ooze (against pirate warrior). Sometimes i do keep medivh's vallet if i have Arcanologist
against quest rogue
just finish him as fast as possible. I mostly go face against quest rogue. Effective trade sometimes if necessary. Keep all the bursts for the face because you gonna need those when he finished the quest.
keep: Mana Wyrm, Arcanologist, Frostbolt, Kabal Courier, Arcane Intellect (with the coin). Sometimes i do keep medivh's vallet if i have Arcanologist
against control (quest warrior, dragon and control priest, jade druid, mirror match up)
this is when we have to think and use our resources wisely. don't if you have a good early hand just try to be a bit aggressive in the early game to set up for the late burst. Think wisely don't over commit to the board though. And sometimes if you cannot burst them down in a single turn then you don't need to do it because they might shield up, heal themselves back up again.
keep: Mana Wyrm, Arcanologist, Primordial Glyph, Frostbolt, Arcane Intellect, Kabal Courier.
so basicly we keep: Mana Wyrm, Arcanologist, Frostbolt in every matchups.
Card Choice
1. Mana Wyrm : annoying 1 drop for 1/3 , why not ?
2. Arcanologist : very simple, to draw Ice Block with 2/3 body and costs only 2 mana. In a meta where there're lots of aggressive deck, a body presence on the board is essential.
3. Frostbolt : good removal, can go face.
4 Medivh's Vallet : this card is pretty strong, deals 3 dmg with a 2/3 body on board, and synergized well with Arcanologist - Arcanologist into Ice Block into Medivh's Vallet.
5. Primordial Glyph : the best Mage's card in Un'goro Expansion. It gives you answer to a certain situation you're facing. And the best part is that the discovered card costs 2 less.
6. Arcane Intellect : draw power.
7. Ice Block : to save your ass.
8. Volcanic Potion : since the meta has several fast decks like aggro druid, evolve shaman, pirate warrior, and murloc paladin, this card is a pretty decent early removal. good answer to Living Mana,
9. Fireball : Do I have to explain ? LOL.
10. Polymorph : good answer to Tirion Fordring, Bittertide Hydra and Silence Priest, It's like a 6 mana Assassinate.
11. Flamestrike : Big removal. I put 2 of these because last season I was facing a lot of murloc paladin and evolve shaman and one big clearance is not enough for me in most of the games. Besides Meteor is not effective against it. So i decided to put 2 Flamestrike and it works out really good for me. And with Atiesh it can gives you Archmage Antonidas.
12. Pyroblast : a finisher card and good 10 drop for Atiesh
13. Gluttonous Ooze : there're lots of weapon in this meta - paladin, warrior, mirror matchup, jade claws.
14. Kabal Courier : discover me some good shit most of the time but it's RNG though. at least this help with having minion on the board even though the stats are weak.
15. Eater of Secrets : a tech card, good against mirror matchup and secret mage. works fine against paladin.
16. Elise the Trailblazer : some might think this as a weird decision. but in some game where the spells can't finish the game and i'm running out of dmg spells, this is where this card comes in handy.
17. Medivh, the Guardian : good stats on board, and most importantly the Atiesh.
18. Alexstraza : to finish the game and use to save myself sometimes.
19. I almost forgot about Firelands Portal : the best with Atiesh where you get 2 minions, good removal too and remember that it can go face.
Replacement:
1. Elise the Trailblazer, second Flamestrike and Volcanic Potion: Blizzard, Meteor for control. second Kabal Courier for the early board and discover something to save ya ass. Bloodmage Thalnos to synergized with Aoe and card draw and also help you with the extra burst you're missing.
2. can also tech out Eater of Secrets if you're not frequently facing secret mage or a mirror match.
Feel free to leave comment. I respect every opinion and will use that to improve in the future
Thanks and hope you guys enjoy
To anyone who uses hearthpwn to find tryhard decks, here is the most recent control mage variant https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/decks/control-mage-standard-meta-snapshot-june-5-2017
Thanks.
Good deck. Only 1 change:
- Eater of Secrets
+ Bloodmage Thalnos
Cuz I don't see many mages at my rank.
Well, I can see that you are really taking care of this thread which is nice. Looking forward for your next decklist mate :)
I replaced her for Ethereal Arcanist, give it a try. Works very well for me.
Eater of Secrets winning me the last game FeelsAmazingMan !
very nice deck, and nice RNG I love it
eater of secrets and elise sometimes help you win easily, especially eater of secrets when you meet secret mage, he will auto Concede lol
here is my game vs midrange murloc paladin which meta right now, the battle very intense I think because I got dying 2 times

Too fun. Thanks for the list!
no didn't play much this season. got no time at all
Well I swapped 1 FS for 1 meteor since we deal with those stupid Hydras at turn 5 and until now it works great. Nice work!
good decision bro, thanks.
that's a very good question. I feel that i don't need the book since i have Primordial Glyph.
well, it depends on which deck you're up against pretty much.
For me, this deck is kinda strong but you're just need to be patient.
throw in an ice barrier + meteor
remove a FS and a tech.
just take freeze mage, the best deck to counter all agros on those ranks. im at rank 8 atm with nearly 20 games from rank 12, and 70 percent of decks were quest rogues, evolve/token shamen, agro druids, my worst match up was jade druid and few secret mages.
well played
hahaha stoped watching fro second turn where he didnt trade wolf but just went face LUL
I'm a huge fan of running Counterspell as it has saved me countless times with my secret mage deck I run, and was wondering why you don't run it in this deck.
Also, I was wondering the need for double Flamestrike. The second one doesn't seem to hit the board ever.
I ran two Flamestrike last season beacuse i was facing against lots of paladin and one big Aoe proved to be not enough. I didn't put conterspell because i didn't feel it was neccessary and i'd stopped me fom drawing Ice Block from Arcanologist when needed. Spellbender is a better option for me though.
