Big Game Hunter was thrown in since I was having trouble dealing with bigger creatures and I subbed out Archmage Antonidas for Flamestrike because I feel it is stronger in the Mirror and against Rush decks.
The point of mech mage is face though some defensive cards can be needed per what you are facing. I would remove flamestrike(if you have to flamestrike you are probably going to lose anyway), big game(unless you are getting true value and bgh'n a dr boom every game), and maybe even take out one mirror entity. I think loatheb is still just a stud of a 5 drop, also add another drake, and maybe another yeti.
The decklist isn't bad, more likely you are mulliganing wrong or misplaying. Read some guides on it, its pretty straight forward. Good luck!
archmage and dr. boom are essential for mech mage as different win conditions, so i would recommend to put archmage back in.
perhaps you are playing mech mage wrong?
mech mage plays on tempo, and make good trades. I've seen some mech mage that makes unnecessary trades instead of going for face and losing out on damage and run out of steam.
i think the duplicate is too slow for mech mage.
and i see that you are missing cogmasters, think of him as flame imp with almost no drawback. sometimes cogmaster coin cogmaster, follow by a mech can often be gg if opponent can't clear. you can certainly cut them, and play more "midrangy" mech mage though.
Mech Mage in general is not as strong as it has been made out to be, not saying that it doesn't work, but that it was overhyped, because it was cheap, and new, and for the most part people now know what to look for, and how to counter it.
Plus I think once you hit around that level, the amount of games you put in become much more significant. Right now I would say I have about 2-3 legend capable decks, and its difficult to get past rank 10, from what I read from others it takes well over 200 games to make legend, and that is a good player, playing a good deck.
Currently sitting around 15-13 with this and I basically win a game then lose a game.
