Before I start, just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU!!! to all those that have supported this deck and made contributions via liking and comments, the last thing I expected was to be on page 1 all week and longer still at the moment. I am a noob been playing around a month, so as you can expect, I did not think such thing would happen as page 1. So again THANK YOU to everyone, and I am happy to have helped similar noobs like myself be at least somewhat competitive in the current meta, and in some cases, much more than competitive as a good pilot to this deck. Thank you!
I have been making decks left right and center, trying to complete in todays meta against the likes of all these aggro decks with Hunter and Warrior, and especially Quest Rogue, which I kept losing to over and over.
Did some research, a little disenchanting and dusting, and came up with this deck slight alternative to similar much more expensive Secret Mage decks.
Now I am beating all aggro decks and have 100% now against Quest Rogue, especially if you copy or counter their quest, instant rage quit from opponent, finally having some fun now in HS, I am a noob only been playing a few weeks, so can't build these super expensive decks, but considering the cost of this, it's doing extremely well in todays meta.
if you have not completed the Karazhan Adventure. Then there are some very good replacements for Medivhs Valet, which will compliment this deck still such as:
Sorcerers Apprentice - So many spells for Mage, this card is a fantastic replacement.
Blizzard: Counter to aggro and minion heavy opponents.
Polymorph: Counter against Big minions
Kabal Lackey: Playing this first turn with counterspell, can actually kill off quest opponents on turn 1.
Arcanse Missiles: Counter to early minion planting from enemy
Arcane Explosion: Same as above.
Mulligan: Try and aim for Mana Wyrm and Frostbolt, 1 drop with the wyrm followed by frostbolt to remove a minion AND add attack to the wyrm is a very strong opener.
Arcane Giant is also a very replaceable card, I have been trying other big minions all in it's place all with success such as Alexstraza (sorry for spelling), Medivh the Guardian (that was extremely fun, as for each spell casted you gain a minion for same cost) so using a AOE card to remove enemy minions while gaining a 7 mana minion is rather OP but very fun. But like I said you can play around with arcane giant, and replace as you wish, either for fun or simply because you don't have arcane giant.
Some updates so far personally from this deck for me: I was stuck at rank 20 with all the decks I have till I made this deck, I now have gone from rank 20 to 15 with about 80% winrate, so expecting to go much much further. For example, my last game was against a aggro face hunter warrior, every minion he put down I had answers to in the means of removing it, with freezing and 3 damage off for example on his fledging, 2 damage to all minions, then finally 7 mana 4 health of all enemy minions, midevh also removed ANOTHER fledging before this while also getting a minion onto the field, warrior raged and quit in the end before we reached 10 mana moves, as his hand was now empty, he could only use top deck cards, I countered everything he had, with either hero power, freezing or AOE cards, with a secret also of 8 armour, he managed by turn 8 to have my health at 28, with armour still of 2. Obviously conceding was his best play at that point haha.
fantastic deck. went with Medivh instead of one Arcane Giant and I have 72% (18-7) win rate after 25 games with it (mostly against other mages and hunters, which this deck destroyed).
thanks for the deck!
later edit: updated number of games played and win rate
I have a few cards missing and was wondering what to replace them with to still make this a good deck to try.
I need a replacement for Ice Block x 1, Kirin x 1, Glyph x 1 and Kabal x 1
What about babbling book for 1 x Glyph?
Personally I found Ice Block is pretty needed, as it provides you with a constant combo for Valet against quick draw matchups that consume your other secrets.
Book for 1 Glyph can work, although the -2 mana on the drawn spells from glyph helped me out multiple times, especially with drawing a flamestrike for 5 mana to clear the board or for some early game frostbolts or arcane explosions against aggro.
You could add an Arcane Giant instead of a Kabal, as you burn through spells quite quickly using this deck, and your Arcane Giant will drop to a decent mana value very fast.
later edit: typos
I don't have a Pyro and only 1 Glyph at the moment. I have zero Ice blocks.
I will have 400 dust tomorrow though so ice block or another Glyph?
I'm running a Medivh and one giant as wasnt sure what to take out for another giant.
I managed to get enough dust for a 2nd Glyph and an ice block.
I went 7 for 7 tonight and managed to get Rank 15 (4 Stars) after being stuck at 19/18 for a week.
The extra Glyph is saving my ass alot.
This deck is pretty shitty. I stuck in rank 18 and can't go through aggro druids. Every time I play vs aggro i can't clear the board and I must be in defence all game long. I don't know guys how you can have 70% win ratio.
Well at the start of each season it is much harder to climb, because all the better players need to rank up first. I met alot player with the legendary card back the first days. At the end of each season it get easier rank up because all very good player are seeded out.
This deck did not work for me. Not enough card draw. It is better with 2 acolytes. You can also remove 1 mirror entity.
Great deck TY for posting. Went from 8 to 5. Only change was what others have said -1 Arcane Giant +1 Medivh, the Guardian
Will Pyros be good in this deck?
amazing deck!
Best for moving up in the ladder.
Thanks a lot
This is a very good deck - props! It works as is, but I was more interested in making a hybrid - so I replaced those 2 Giants with Medivh+Pyroblast. 1 Eater of Secrets might be good too for mirrors, but I'm not sure what to remove yet.
Replace for ice block?
I guess I'm putting the wild legendary craft on hold, cause I'm totally gonna craft some cards for this!
Fun deck! Switched one Arcane Giant for Medivh, the Guardian just for fun, still working good
Medivh is from the same expansion as Giants though..
This deck has been great- and following Uther's recommendation on subbing a Pyroblast for one Primordial Glyph has worked out well and definitely made an impact.
Thanks to the OP for this deck as well; as I feel like Arcane Giants were kind of a no-brainer for this kind of deck, but it had never occurred to me and I hadn't seen anyone else post a version including them either!
(Only Rank 14 at the moment but feel this deck has the potential to get me into at least 10 or higher with some more play)
this is bs
Maybe thanks to this deck I'll finally make to 1 digit rank. So far its great!
Does anyone have a wild version of this deck ?
