Hello guys!

This is the deck that got me into Legend, literally smashing the last 2-3 ranks after struggling a lot with Zoolock, Tempo Warrior and Midrange Shaman.

The deck is ideal for a diverse meta, as it has good chances against most classes, and it can have very good starting hands that result in a huge advantage in the early game against any deck. The deck rewards skill and planning, and it is easy to miss that 2-3 points of damage that make the difference between winning and losing.
However, the deck has to rely on RNG damage sources, and a bad starting hand could have a huge impact on the game.

This is not the usual tempo mage deck you're seeing this days. There are no Faceless Summoners, no Cabalist's Tome, no Yogg-Saron: the deck is not about building incremental advantage, as this strategy seems to be too slow in the current meta (or not fast enough against control decks). The real Tempo comes from efficient threats and efficient removal in order to dominate in the early game. As the game progresses, the opponent will be low on life (10-15), so that we can end the game via burn spells, or he will be out of answers, so that an Archmage Antonidas or Ragnaros the Firelord can easily stick and end the game in a few turns.

Spell Damage buffs are key in this deck, in order to pump out more damage or to kill high health minions: the meta is infested with 4-health minions and Arcane Blast + Spell Damage is the cheapest way to deal with them for a cheap 1 mana. Spellslinger is not the best card ever, but this deck absolutely needs a 4-health threat, and we are usually able to use that random spell better than our opponent, as a dead spell can be turned into damage from Flamewaker or a Fireball with Archmage Antonidas.

I will write more as the deck gets upvoted. I will provide a detailed description of deckbuilding choices, matchups, mulligans, strategy, legendary replacements and so on :)

Have fun with this awesome deck, hope you like it!
