Suggested replacement for Arcane Blast is Forbidden Flame.

 good deck but any replacements for some of the cards that seem kinda useless?

lol after this comment, i had to craft him. :)

Is there any replacement to thalnos?

Any decent mage card will do... Ethereal Conjurer, Cabalist Tome, Water Elly perhaps.. Kobold is not really a good sub offers poor value. Thalnos' ability to cycle himself is pretty crucial. So might as we replace him with a mage value card.

I replaced him with Loot Hoarder on the account that Loot Hoarder cycles himself like Thalnos does. The lack of spell power sucks though. Loot Hoarder is also a 2 drop so he fits the curve better than basically any other card you'll replace Thalnos with.

Loot Hoarder and/or Kobold doesn't really fill the role of Thalnos well. Without the cycle, spell damage on Kobolds poor body doesn't offer that much value. LH is used on aggro/zoo for potential value trade or used on combo decks for digging pieces for your win condition. Thalnos gives cheap spells like arcane shot or frostbolt reach. You can pretty much be liberal with playing spells+thalnos because knowing that he cycles himself. The cycle most of the time is an insurance for value. Thalnos is only played for cycle if you have a terrible opening hand/curve. Solid minions like Water Elemental, Etherial Conjurer, Faceless Summoner will do more work on this deck than LH IMO. The 2 mana slot is also a bit crowded while 4-6 drop has a bit of room.

Looks like a slightly edited version of Molendijk's #1 Legend decklist.

Here are the tweaks to get Molendijk's deck:
- Forgotten Torch
- Blizzard
+ Flamestrike
+Cabalist's Tome

Trying this with a Kobold Geomancer in place of Bloodmage Thalnos because I haven't justified crafting him. Let's see how it works out - might swap in a Novice Engineer instead.

While I realize crafting a 1/1 legendary is difficult mentally, this card is still to this day (since inception) one of the best legendaries in the game for what it does. It allows you to buff your spells in the same turn you play due to its low cost, it can be played early for tempo and cause the other guy to HAVE to use mana to deal with it, And best of all, when they deal with it, you get to draw a card. It fills a ton of roles. I know there may be better more specific legendaries you have your eye on and I'm not saying don't craft those or craft this one first.. but please dont underestimate the power of Bloodmage Thalnos. He really isn't replaceable.

Both aren't very good replacement. Id rather have a mage value card like Ethereal Conjurer or Water Elemental or a 2nd torch or tome. The spell damage plus ability to cycle himself is pretty crucial. Times where you play him just to cycle is not uncommon. Have a bad opening curve/draw? He can help you dig through your deck and improve your hand. He is threatening enough that he forces the opponent to deal with him by spending a card or sacrifice a bit of tempo for hero abilty. He is just versatile. Its pretty hard to justify the value he offers without playing him but he's definitely craft worthy. Must have for Rogue and Mage players. There's even a time where he saw more play than Edwin VanCleef on rogues. DE'd a golden Troggzor for him and never regretted it. I don't even have a regular Troggzor.

He may not be a flashy legendary but he does a lot of work on decks or classes that run him.

 Why play Kobold Geomancer when Cult Sorcerer is straight up better?

Bloodmage Thalnos is probably the single most played legendary in the game (at least since Dr. Boom went to the back burner, though Barnes might be in more decks currently).  As the burtthaman said, this card has so many uses, and it can fit into almost any deck.  Need a cheap draw card?  Need an extra deathrattle?, Want some extra spell damage on the same turn as an AoE damage spell?  His uses are varied and due to his cheap casting cost, he sees play in probably 3/5 decks.

which ranks did you advance with this deck?

knowing p4wnyhof, probably legend

You can see P4wnyhof's Twitch VOD 9/5/16.  4 hours in he was at 20 - 13 and switched to another deck. Went from rank 9 to 6.
