With this deck ( if you dont have some serious draw bad luck ) you should be able to finish quest rogue before she finishes her quest or before she burn your ice blocks.
Well I already had some good times with eater, it is really fun against secret mage and could really save your life in mirror matchup. About courier, and RNG in general, Firelands Portal gave me Bomb Squad (!) 2 times in one game recently ... I just cant play rng things mate.
About that carrer I didn't mean real life job or something, I've meant the ingame "career". I started to play rankeds and deck optimalizing, longer arena runs and everything only few months ago.
The changes I made works well, however I haven't played many matches to be sure.
1. - Elise the Trailblazer |+ Ethereal Arcanist : Yeah it is indeed a slow card in this meta however with this deck, 2 Ice Blocks and Alexstrasza you have all the time of the world. Moreover your opponent will focus all his effort to eliminate it which can be part of your tactics.
2. - Kabal Courier |+ Spellbender : Well, I expect some hate for this decission but let me explain why. Courier can give you a great legend or something yeah, that is true BUT there is a very big chance (imo higher than 50%) to get 3 cards which are not even playable for you. Also RNGesus hates me so nah i can't play cards like this. Medivh, Portals and Glyphs are more than enough. And why spellbender? Ask those paladins who insta conceded after playing Spikeridged Steed. And it can be played alongside with et.arcanist for some extra protect as well.
Result: 18W-5L so far
Easy matchups - Midrange Hunter, Quest Shaman, Secret Mage, Token Druid, Pirate Warrior - Pretty much whole meta except of pala
"You need a lil' bit of dem luck" matchups - Jade Druid, Paladin, Quest Rogue
Hard matchup - Quest Warrior
Tell me what do you think, cause i play hs for almost 2 years, but I started serious career there only few months ago.
What would you recommend as replacement for Elise the Trailblazer. I don't feel like crafting this card since it is not keycard in any type of deck. What about Meteor for better control and dealing with high stats threats? However, have my upvote for sharing a decent mage deck which is not boring 2k dust worth secret stuff.
But if rngesus loves you more than me you can give it a try, but i would recommend you to replace Mirror Entitys with Firelands Portals as well for some sick lategame board fill.
It is pretty much unique card and Medivh is great but really slow for this deck. Pyro saved me few times with this deck against taunt warriors and jade druids. And if you are about to concede, you can do it with style.

Thanks for great explanation :)
Isn't a Pyros little risky to play against control shaman? You know, Hex is annoying.

Then you have made some serious game hack mate.

Is it worth a try in ranked?

Do you have any particular reason for running Doomsayer? Solia+Pyro/FS/Meteor/Kazakus would be nice combo for this deck tho.

Looks very well. How does it work for you? I need to know before crafting Pyros :) Isn't it little slow for the meta?

Well, I can see that you are really taking care of this thread which is nice. Looking forward for your next decklist mate :)

I replaced her for Ethereal Arcanist, give it a try. Works very well for me.

How does running only 2 1-drops work for you? Just curious

Spellbender is very underrated card. Just craft it, its fun watching paladin to win you a game with Spikeridged Steed.
