Hello everyone, so I've been playing since March 2016 and honestly I think that I'm a decent player, but still I struggle at the game. The maximum rank I've ever reached is rank 15. Mage is my favorite class and in the past I went from C'Thun, Mech, Tempo, to Elemental Mage which I'm using right now. Here's my deck and how I use the cards in it. So I ask you for two things: If you could tell me what cards should/shouldn't be in my deck and if I'm using any of the cards in a way that you think is wrong.
Currently my deck has a lot of missing cards; I will talk about them in a moment. But first, my deck:
Fire Fly x2 - Usually I play them on turn 1 or to activate Servant of Kalimos at later turns
Mana Wyrm x2 If I get lucky with coin and I get two of these on turn one, I immediately go aggro on my opponent.
Flame Geyser Love it, so versatile. I use it as an early-game control and later to activate elementals/help my minions bring down larger enemies.
Frostbolt x2 Like above, but I also use it on larger threats to slow them down.
Arcane Intellect x2 Card draw. I'm not sure, maybe just one would be sufficient.
Tar Creeper x2 Great taunt, bad attack but I love it. I usually play it to activate Tolvir and Servant.
Volcanic Potion Ass-saver when playing against aggro decks. Sometimes I use it with Flamestrike to clear demons summoned by DK Gul'dan.
Eater of Secrets Used against Exodia Mage, sometimes against Hunters.
Fireball x2 Usually I use it to remove 5 and 6 Health enemy minions, but when I get two of these and a frostbolt in later turns, that often ends the game on the spot.
Polymorph I use it on larger threats only, usually those above 7 attack and health like Lich King.
Tol'vir Stoneshaper x2 Ass-saver when playing against aggro, but If I have Tar Creeper on Turn three I will always drop this guy on turn four. Gives my opponent a bit of trouble to remove.
Water Elemental x2 I'm considering throwing this guy out. I usually play him to activate Servant, rarely to freeze a warrior.
Servant of Kalimos x2 Most often I play these on turn five, hoping for Geddon or Ozruk but usually its Tar Creeper or Water Elemental.
Blazecaller x2 Yummy. As good as firelands, perhaps better. I use him to kill larger minions, but If my opponent has no minion on board I will target face instead. (Though only if they are low on health, otherwise I save them for removal)
Bonemare x2 Versatile to the extreme, I use it for taunt/to kill my opponent faster.
Firelands Portal x2 Very similar to Blazecaller, I use it because it also summons a minion.
Frost Lich Jaina Ah, yes, my favorite card. If there are no immediate threats, I play her as soon as I can
I want to add Geddon, Pyros, Two Primordial Glyphs obviously, Skulking Geist and Lich King and remove as few cards as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
Pyros is a bit slow in the current meta, although I love it. Sindragosa isn't bad and is fun if you have it. Geddon is pretty stylish but not so great, it looks better than it actually is. If you're pure elemental you should be able to sustain without him. Geist is only useful if you face specific match ups. Lich King is fairly over-rated, Medivh is way better than him in this deck.
You should also cut Eater of Secrets, no way is it worth teching against quest mage since it's so rare. Also, hunter suck, you don't need to tech against such a bad class.
I think you should cut Tol'vir for Thalnos, you can deal with the potion the 3 health minions board, so often now with Captain and you have a target for Jaina in late game.
And you need to run the tech vs 1 mana spells for have a chance vs jade druid and maybe with some lucky become out of reach vs Highlander Priest.
Bonemare is not so great in this deck, Baron Geddon fits better.
This deck don't make pressure fast enough to beat Exodia mage even with Eater, just accept you can't win that match and replace for something else.
