Could everyone PLEASE stop posting pictures of a card's perfect counter under EVERY new card released, just to fish for upvotes?
And even if a Mage happens to have Flamestrike after you play Call of the Wild, you've still won the trade. Why? Because the Mage just used his most important AoE clear to get rid of a single card, and you still get a 5 damage charge no matter what.

He climbed with this deck afaik. In other words, it's a solid ladder deck. You might need to make some small changes for your meta, but the basic idea is great for most ranks. For example, my version of Jade Jesus is less greedy and I run Ferals to help against pirate warrior.

I criticised this deck quite harshly back in the day. And rightly so, because -- unlike tom and apparently many others -- the meta I was seeing was thoroughly hostile to it and it performed miserably.
This deck is very meta-dependent. And guess what? It occurred to me that the Gadgetstan / Jade-spam meta is perfect! Running it right now with very good success.
But don't tell anyone... Let's keep this our little secret, just me you and the valet, kay? :)

Come on! You can figure this out on your own, it's not hard.
Welp, since you probably won't figure it out on your own... I used a Forbidden Flame in place of one Arcane Blast.

If you're only playing for "teh LULZ, brah" well then fine, more power to you. But then don't come on and say it's a trash deck and complain about how it made you lose ranks. That just makes you a troll. Or a 7 year old. Or both.
Got it? Good. You can now go back to playing with your lego.

Why on earth would you play a deck in such a hostile meta? You totally deserve to lose all those ranks if you played 40 games with this deck in a meta full of control warriors. Actually, you deserve to lose MORE, you got off easy.
I've been very critical of this deck, or at least the hype around it, EXACTLY because it's completely meta dependent. It will fail miserably in the wrong meta; however, I am here copying it over again because my meta has shifted to be 95% exactly the kind of opponents this list is made to beat. But if I am suddenly faced with control warriors and paladins, I wont be an idiot and play 40 games with it, smfh.

There is no counter to this deck, per se. However, it's a one trick pony and some healing will usually give you an edge; a lot of healing, like paladins or warriors, is basically an auto-win. The author is correct: it preys on midrange shamans and hunters, but it is a terrible meta choice if you're facing a lot warriors, paladins, priests -- or if your opponents start running heals.

Al Akir is a win condition. 12 damage out of nowhere is NOT a "win more" card as you're trying to imply. 12 damage for 10 mana and two cards is one of warrior's classic win conditions and no one implies that that combo is "win more." Most of those games I would not have won without the combo burst finisher, nope.
Al Akir also sometimes gets used as an emergency board clear. Most of those games I lose anyway. So I guess he could rightfully be called a lose more card XD
