MY CHOICES
Antonidas:
Archmage Antonidas is an insane card. Don't cut it because "REEEEEEEE it's a control deck, not a burn deck!", he can save you. For real.
I won many games by doing:
- Archmage Antonidas + Frost Nova, or
- Doomsayer, and Archmage Antonidas + Spell the turn after.
Don't think it's only a control matchup card. Currently tempo decks can even win on late game.
Burgly Bully:
Burgly Bully is INSANE in this deck.
- It improves the Priest matchup (worst one).
- it gives you coins for Archmage Antonidas.
- it gives you coins for an early Frost Lich Jaina and so on (against tempo decks, after a doomsayer, after a weak turn... or priest).
Cabalist's Tome:
Cabalist's Tome is the greediest choice. Why? Because you have several spell combos and because this is an highlander deck. 1 copy of each card. 2 blocks, 2 barriers, 2 blizzards, 2 flamestrikes and so on might be good enough.
Dirty Rat:
Dirty Rat is the only way you win against quest mage.
It's good also against aggro decks, after a doomsayer, or when your aggro opponent is out of cards (turn 3 on avg in current HS).
Spellbreaker:
Spellbreaker is like... why not? It's a silence effect, i don't want to lose to a Bonemare, to a Stegodon Steed, to an Ysera (to a Marin, LUL). It really improves your matchup against big priest. Helps a lot against mid range-ish too.
The Lich King:
The Lich King is an 8 mana 8-8 taunt that HAS to be removed. Use can find an use for the weapon, the 5damages/5heals, and the obliterate. Other 2 are weaker in this deck but it's still worth.
REPLACEMENTS
The Lich King and/or Archmage Antonidas -> Baron Geddon and/or Medivh, the Guardian
Answer for replacement tips !
REEEEEEEE CutArchmage Antonidas! It’s a control deck, not a burn deck!
Replacement for Bloodmage?
Ye it's cool if you are in Jaina form, nice tip
Medivh and Elise i think. Maybe it's too greedy tho.
Cool deck! Replacement for Burgly? I know its insane but i dont have the dust =(
Maybe Elise or Tar Creeper. The first one is more greedy ofc.
Mh... medivh? Obv it's different
I'd keep bully
Bro, very fun deck!
Can u give some tips for muligan and strategy vs druid and priest?
Vs druid you want your Geist at most; Arcane Intellect too.
Vs Priest you want your Arcane Intellect and Burgly Bully. Try to find Jaina asap
Not the most powerful deck, but man it's so fun...
Everyone knows how to copy-pasta a tier 1 deck, cmon. Go on hsreplay or something like that and you find them.
You can replace Dirty Rat with something like Tar Creeper , but you lose the Dirty Rat battlecry...(you 100% lose against quest mage).
Can't replace meteor.
Replace Cabalist's Tome with some value card
I REALLY feel that in this particular meta, an 8-8 taunt is good enough. It has to be removed from your opponent too.
Elise is like... Cabalist's Tome gives you immediate resources!
Counterspell is ok. Don't know what you should cut for it tho.
Leeroy 100% no. Mana Bind is OK for Tony, but i don't think it's worth the risk.
I don't like Pyros a lot, but ye you can use it, but meteor is NOT replaceable...
Dayum I don't have Dirty Rat, Burgly Bully, Kazakus and Lich King... :/ I guess if I de'd half of my useless legendaries (blood queen, uther, hadronox, beardo, moroes, elise, nefarian, rend etc), and 2 golden epics (bright eyed scout, tortollan primalist) then I could craft them all... But then a new expansion comes out in 1 month and I'm afraid that all these cards may become unpopular... I guess ill stick to Gaara's control mage for now :/
Don't de Uther and Elise at least, they are not crappy cards
You still have like 4-5months till the next year and don't even think about disenchanting those cards till then.
Is the deck worth trying without Frost Lich Jaina?
Nope, without Frost Lich Jaina your game plan changes, and this deck is built around that card.
Maybe you can try a Kazakus mage with Open the Waygate , playing Arcane Giant, but the game plan is different. Check Savjz version for it.
It seems pretty solid. How would a Tar Creeper be in this deck? What should i cut for it?
