Hearthpwn

Hey guys, I too would like to join some sort of group to play and improve with.  My best rank was rank 1 last month and I have gotten rank 3 for the last several months.  Btag is blackwood#1280

Not quite dead but it's hard right now.  I got mine to rank 4 but it stalled out there.  Add my btag if you want to talk about the deck, it's also on my hearthpwn profile 

blackwood#1280

yea im not sure why freeze is considered highest mage right now.  got to rank 6 pretty comfortably with tempo and even my dragon mage made it to rank 6 this month..

Well i've been stuck at rank 6 but I wish you'd run into me on your way up.  It would have been funny to see "Dragon Mage, (1)." 

lol sorry to hear that.  I've only played two priests with it and won both.  

I used chrommagus in the first draft of the deck and replaced him with a second scaled nightmare.  I felt that he got removed immediately almost every time I played him, and even when he stuck his benefit was inconsistant, and too slow vs aggro.  Scaled nightmare has the same hp so he gets the same amount of removal but on turn 6 not turn 8.  He also will certainly win the game in 2-3 turns if not removed where chrommagus will only outright win you the game if he duplicates something really good like fireball, polymorph, blackwing corruptor, ect.  Its not so good when he duplicates a big minion because its hard enough to play all the threats in the deck as it is, especially vs aggro.  

Yea I actually ended up making that change and really liking it a lot.  i'm currently working on a tempo version of the same deck and am gonna compare the win rates.

Hey there, i was wondering if some replacements would work because I lack some cards like doomsayer, regular deathwing, alexxstrasza apothecary and ice blocks, i think scaled nightmare is not good enough, its a bit slow imho, and i was wondering if i could place rend and chromaggus in the place of the legendaries i mentioned earlier and another flamestrike in the place of doomsayer and ice barriers instead of ice blocks.

Would these replacements work? If they dont, what would you suggest?

scaled nightmare is good?

Hey man thanks for the comment.  I think what your'e looking for is the more tempo oriented dragon mage I talk about in the full writeup.  You could replace doomsayers, frost novas, alexstraza, deathwing, ice blocks, and scaled nightmares with something like two mana wyrms, arcane missels x2, arcane blast x2, flamewaker x2, a second blackwing corruptor, harrison jones or sylvanus or emperor thaurison, and archmage antonidas.  I'd have to try the build myself (and am planning on doing this later today) to tell you how good it would be.  If you still want to play the control version, which is a lot more appealing to my own playstyle personally, I think that the changes you suggested all make a lot of sense, but it would need a little more refinement.  I don't think ice barrier works instead of ice block because generally ice block saves you from spells causing fatal when you have board control, or give you one extra turn to push fatal through if you have board control.  If you want to add my battletag id be happy to help you work on the list later today.

Greetings everyone, I've been working on making the perfect dragon mage for months since I was inspired by Kibbler's list.  Below is my list and a link to my full guide on hearthpwn.  Most questions you have are probably explained there, but please post any questions, comments, or suggestions you might have to help improve the deck.  Prior to standard I had only been able to get dragon mage to rank 3, but I really believe that the deck is legend capable this season.  Since I have never personally been legend, and have been playing hearthstone for less than a year, I am worried that the reason it hasn't reached legend is my own lack of experience.  So far this season I have enjoyed a 71% win rate going 22-9 with the deck.  This is better than any netdeck i've tried this month, and I would love to get some experienced players' inputs or even better if a legend player would be willing to give this a shot and see what they think.  

ANY LEGEND EXPERIENCED PLAYERS WHO WANT TO HELP/DISCUSS/TRY OUT THE DECK PLEASE ADD MY BTAG BLACKWOOD#1280.

I also am more than happy to help out any aspiring dragon mage players or anyone else who wants to add me to just to expand their friend list and talk all things hearthstone!  My own experience level is rank 3 each of the last four months.

No problem man, I love bringing interesting stuff to the community.  I haven't updated the page yet to reflect this but i'm not 20-8 with the deck for the season, and i'll probably do a full write up soon now that the meta is stabilizing and i've played more games with it.  My btag is Blackwood#1280 if youd be interested in adding me to try some new stuff out.  

My dragon mage.  Ask or check my profile for the link, its a lot of fun and doing very well this month.  

Try my dragon mage!  Went from 17-13 so far this season going 20 wins and 8 losses.  7-1 vs zoo.  This is the season I finally take my baby to legend, I can feel it.  

greedy but i like it lol.  Id be interested to see how that works if you wanted to try it.
