Hearthpwn

i have been playing Reno Mage the last three months (a couple of week after i started to play hearthstone). and all three times i finished with rank 16 in the ladder. my card collection is really limited since i started 3 moths ago and haven't spend any money on it.

i have all wings of karazhan, all wings of the league of explorer (except the last one). and the first wing of black rock mountain. i think Cabalist's Tome, Blizzard, Ice Block would be good for my deck. but i don't have them currently.

my deck: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/648608-reno-mage-prince-malchezaar

and my collection: http://www.hearthpwn.com/members/kingdom2011/collection

have 140 dust and might dischant some golden cards to get 160 more.

between 20 to 16 i usually win against Paladin, Mage, Control Warrior, Priests and lost to Shamans, Warlock, Murluc Paladin all the time.

What other cards can i add to get to around 12 or 13 in the ladder?

Ice block is a must, cabalist tome also.

Cant help you further sorry not a mage player.

PS: Wait until new card set is released, cards you need to craft for reno mage can change alot!!!!  Can save you alot of dust.

Since you have all wing of Karazhan, I suggest you replace Moroes with Barnes~

I think there is alot you should change about this deck but here are the things which catched my eyes the most

Cards you should remove/replace:

Ice Lance: I see this card as a very dead one in this deck with only one frostbolt to support the 4 dmg effect and at best it will stall you a turn but most of the decks flood the board fairly quick so freezing 1 wont matter alot

Spellbender: Unless it really saved you alot of times from direct dmg spells on minions i think you should run Counterspell instead, because Spellbender wont protect you from face damage or boardclears (such as Flamestrike and Lightning storm)

Moroes: He is just too weak for 3 mana and at the time you play him youre opponent will be very far ahead of you

Ironbeak Owl: Silence is not bad in fact it can be quite good but i would use Spellbreaker instead it has better stats for trading.

Novice engineer: You could argue about this one its not that bad but i just dont like it outside of freeze honestly (also loothoarder which is in your deck already does it better "most" of the time)

And finally cards you should add:

Water Elemental: solid statline for 4 Mana and freeze helps against weapon classes sometimes in general very good.

Spellbreaker: As said better stats than owl

Flamewaker: I know you only have the first BRM wing but if you should get Flamewaker this one should be an autoinclude in your deck

 Edit: Also Cabalist Tome is very important to add

Take out prince malchazar. Rip spelling. The card is bad in reno deck because it can hinder u getting reno in  time. Or the card that u actually need in certain situation. Furthermore if it give u useless legendary like lorewalker cho.

I have tried Barnes in my deck. it needs an immediate Ironbeak Owl after it which with luck can be achieve in round 7. and Prince Malchezaar is some times brings unexpected cards that can mess my deck using it with Barnes

Barnes isn't really a card to be combo with Ironbeak Owl. It just act as a 4mana 3/4 with 1/1 at the worst case scenario. But you may get lucky and get Emperor Thaurissan or Archmage Antonidas which is a lot of value.

Also Ice Block is essential to Reno Mage. Try to save dust to craft one. It should help you to survive againist OTK deck like murloc Paladin

Novice Engineer should replace with Acidic Swamp Ooze It should help you destroy weapons like Spirit Claws or Truesilver Champion

Prince Malchezaar should be removed since it will mess up your draw chance with Reno Jackson in critical situation.

I use Spellbender a turn before Archmage Antonidas. it saved me a lot of times. opponent usually gueses that i have Counterspell, trying an spell and knows that i don't have it, then trying to kill the Archmage, and wastes the 2nd spell. i don't use Ice Lance for 4 damage. i use it to get an extra immediate Fire bolt with Archmage and freezing an enemy to save the archmage. will try Water elemental. removing Novice engineer would make drawing Reno harder unless i add another draw card.

I consistently got to rank 5 the previous 2 seasons before Karazhan with a C'Thun Reno Mage deck.

Firstly, yes, get Cabalist, Ice Block and Blizzard. They are must haves for stabilization. Since you run Faceless Summoner, might as well include Brann Bronzebeard.

Medivh is cool, though I found to be always be very hard casting him because the board is always a race to stabilizing. It will get better now with the potions from Gadgetzan - That said, please remove Malchezaar, he's just terrible, and will make it harder for you to draw Reno. If you want a similar effect, put Elise Starseeker instead.

From my experience Antonidas is hardly good in Reno decks because you are spending spells all the time to survive, so generally not much are left for him.

I'd also add a singleton Doomsayer, because Frost nova/Blizzard + him = boardclear.

If going the Cthun route, you can also use Cthun for double Twin Emperor, which is always nuts.

I have tried this deck without Prince Malcheazar, yes i get reno in my hand faster but couldn't beat Control decks because ran out of cards, specially against warriors. i will try that again with a few changes. Doomsayer is good, but again i don't have it.

I just created the deck so that you can get some guidelines. I put Harrison Jones for additional draw cards and a tech vs the current meta, but you can sub it for a Acidic Ooze.

can't play such deck. 7080 dust is need!
