A little bit about myself, i have played HS for many years and my deck of choice was Reno for majority of it. When Kazakus came out my go to Reno deck was Warlock, however when Shadow Reaper Anduin was released my main deck became Raza Priest from then until now.

Few days ago i had discussion in the Youtube comments about Kazakus in modern day Hearthstone. Kazakus has aged very poorly, even back in the past some options were rarely picked because they were that weak. Kazakus was go to way to deal with Jades and resurrect Priest using 10 mana sheep potions giving you enough time to set up your win condition. However today those decks got better cards that do same thing or even better without deck restrictions or even wasting 4 mana trying to reroll potion of your needs.

So my idea for buffs/rework:

- Manacost (unchanged): 4 mana

- Stats (buffed): From 3-3 to 4-4 (Highlander decks don't care that much when it comes to stats, however it still feel miserable to drop Kazakus against aggro just to see it traded with 1 mana cost drop from opponent.)

- Felbloom (unchanged):  Deal 2/4/6 damage to all minions.

- Goldthorn (buffed): From give your minions 2/4/6 health to give your minions 2/4/6 health and 1/2/3 atk. (This potion is based on Priest class, even thou Priest was always famous for buffing health, they can also buff atk. This card is supposed to synergize with your board and resurrection part of the spell, also to negate negative part of Felbloom on your side of the board. Even if you resurrect your minions , with just hp, they won't be any treat to opponent and hearthstone has stopped being board based game since long time ago. At least like this that resurrected Reno that is now 7/12 after the buff, might just be a treat to opponent)

- Hearth of fire (unchanged): Deal 3/5/8 damage.

- Icecap (buffed): From freeze 1/2/3 random enemy minions to freeze 1/3/all enemy minions. (This option was too weak even back then, that is why i think it should be updated based on power level of modern day freeze cards)

- Ichor of Undead (unchanged):  Resurrect 1/2/3 friendly minions that died this game (I wondered if this potion needs bufff, however with buffs to Goldthorn potion, who was often paired with this one, it would be enough)

- Mystic Wool (buffed): From transform random enemy minion into a sheep/transform all minions into a sheep to transform enemy minion into a sheep (isn't random)/transform all minions into a sheep. (for all the requirements needed to get 5 mana potion with polymorph, there should be more consistency. Ofc since both Mystic Wool and Heart of Fire target that 5 damage is going into a sheep, which is something that some might say is a nerf, but it think it is worth tradeoff)

- Kingsblood (unchanged); Draw 1/2/3 cards 

- Netherbloom(buffed): From summon 2-2/4-4/8-8 demon to summon 2-2/4-4/8-8 demon with rush (Only if you can trade with minion right away and get its value from it does big bodies matter, otherwise they won't accomplish anything, they will just die to random spell).

- Stonescale oil (buffed): From gain 4/7/10 armor to gain 4/8/12 armor (This isn't too big of a buff, but i think it is like Icecap made in consideration with power level of armor related cards released in modern day hearthstone and unlike Icecap which was garbage in the past, Stonescale oil was often picked against aggro, that is why it gets just slight buff)

- Shadow Oil (reworked): From add 1/2/3 random demons to your hand to light 2/4/all cards in your opponents hand on fire, in 3 turns any still in hand are destroyed. (This potion option was created to be played with the worst highlander card ever printed and ofc it was for warliock. I can't explain just how trash this potion is. One of the worst problems of modern control decks is hand size, you are always at wits end how to manage your hand and this bloody potion add 3 trash demons to your already full hand. Terrible. The reason i chose this other effect, which belongs to 4 mana cost card from warlock called immolate, is because original potion is based on warlock so i chose effect similar to warlock's and the other reason is because control decks that play Kazakus often struggle vs combo decks, so i took this effect which could help them a bit)

You deserve to burn in hell for all eternity.

Honestly i am trying this version of secret Rogue as a weird mix between stealth, secret and death rattle cards, that somehow synergies with each other, on top of which adding Renethal in order to survive long enough to see your own gameplay.

Halkias is such a fun card, especially when you copy him or his effect few times, he knows to be deadly. 

Done

This is warlock card.

Hmm, if i could choose. I would change reward so that instead of damaging my opponent, it would heal my face instead. Problem solved. The only problem i have with this solution is that thematically so much heals doesn't suit warlock.

I found few problems when i created this deck and that was lack of cards. There isn't enough good even cards, let alone good even hero power cards, that could fill the deck. There are 3 versions of Even Mage decks that could be played: Highlander Even Mage, Dragon Even Mage and Elemental Even Mage.

With Highlander Even Mage i would have to sacrifice too much consistency (including one less Wildfire and one less Reckless Apprentice) who are staple in this deck, also this version of deck will be targeted by Bad Luck Albatross, card that will be played in most of the decks.

With Dragon Even Mage i was going with Frizz Kindleroost that would lower mana cost for most of the dragons in decks (number of good Dragons with even cost is very low, that is why there is such a low amount of them in a deck), however main target here is Coldarra Drake. If we buff hero power twice, then it will deal 3 damage. With lower costed Coldarra Drake and with 3 damage hero power, on turn 10 we could deal 21 damage to enemy face. There is even option of adding Conjure Mana Biscuit for saving the mana for possible OTK combo. I have added Book of Specters for two reasons. First reason is that we are running Starscryer with whom you want to target your Wildfire in the early game, however you need to have at least one more spell for targeting (in case you draw Wildfire). The second reason is that we need draw, especially when you use Frizz Kindleroost, you want to benefit as much as possible from lowered mana cost, it is true that you can discard Wildfire, however in deck of 30 cards that is low risk that we could take. 

Lastly we have an Elemental Even Mage, which is maybe even better than Dragon Even Mage. There is a small package of spell power based even cards: Imprisoned Phoenix, Astromancer Solarian, Cosmic Anomaly and Cram Session. However for this group of cards to be effective, we need more spell cards, which is counter productive if we use Starscryer for early Wildfire. The other useful or semi useful Elemental cards are: Pyros, Confection Cyclone, Water Elemental, Arcanosaur, Circus Amalgam, Fantastic Firebird, Ragnaros the Firelord, Primordial Protector, Tol'vir Stoneshaper and Grand Finale. It is interesting having combination of Primordial Protector and Grand Finale in a deck. Maybe there a way of playing like that , i am not sure yet. I don't think Even Mage will be meta for now or anything like that, it can't even come close to Darkglare Warlock level of power, however at least it is lifted from the ground. Now it just needs to wait for more even hero power support, but also for more good even cost dragons or elementals. 

When it comes to Frost Giant, it has good synergy with Reckless Apprentice. If you go against aggro with full board you can lower Frost Giant really quickly. Unfortunately Frost Giant is not an elemental. That is wasted opportunity.
