Any report on how my deck's been treating you, scorpyon?
Oops! I didn't get a chance to try your one yet (as I had a number of suggestions). Sorry! I'm going to build it now and give it a go today :-) Will let you know
I got this Tempo Mage deck off a stream. The streamer was doing good work with it. A Warrior meta is bad for Tempo Mage but this deck isn't only about burn. You can build wide boards with Vex Crow and Mountseller. It's versatile and fun. I think it has a chance to do alright against Tempo Rogue too with the wide boards it can make and being able to freeze minions and push back tempo. Give it a try.

Hrmmm. Well, so far I'll admit that maybe I don't know how to properly run this deck. I've stuggled to win much with it - albeit I am pretty much only facing Control Warriors and Tempo Rogues, so it may be the meta that is more the problem right now. Also, I had to replace one of the cards I didnt have (the 5 mana 2/7 with spell damage each turn) but I don't really think that would have caused much diference. I will continue to have a fiddle with th deck to see if I can get something comfortable.
It might just be the meta, yeah. Tempo Rogue is a bad matchup and Control Warrior (without bombs) is even worse. (Bomb Warrior is tricky to play, but I've learned the matchup well enough that I can win it more often than not.)
Luckily for me, the meta at my rank is very diverse, so I don't face Tempo Rogue and Control Warrior too often even though they're some of the best decks right now. But if they're most of the meta at your rank, this isn't the deck for you.
I do think Azerite Elemental is good in the deck, but it's not a huge deal if you have to replace it with another Spell Damage minion.
I always try to make fun Mage decks with lots of randomness in them so Mana Cyclone + Conjurers Calling deck was a given. Both Mana Cyclone and Conjurers Calling are incredible cards that can define whole decks and they actually synergy very well with eachother too as Mana Cyclone will fill your hand up very nicely and provide the value you need on early turns when you can do combos such as Mirror Image + Elemental Invocation + Coin + Ray of Frost for a full hand of random spells which combos into a turn 4-5 Giant.
And with this deck, Raven Familar is SOOOOO good! Every mage minion you can discover almost are great with this deck.
Oh! I love it! :-)
Sort of a Hybrid Tempo Mage.
Definitely giving this a go! Nice one! Ta!

For a Tempo Mage right now I'd take tech and card/minion generation over spell power.
Fair enough - I'll continue to tinker around with it on and off in any case.

Also Kibler has a cool one with frogs.

I saw Kibler playing this, and it looks like a lot of fun. I'm definitely going to try it myself.
