Hey everyone,
Madskillphil here with a list of my Tempo Mage that I played to Legend this season (Mostly)... Yeah, I know, I did play a bit of Secret Hunter, Midrange Shaman and Zoo (but who hasn't this season). I switched between decks if things under performed but the majority of games were played as Mage using this list. I did play a bit of Dragon Paladin also.
Mulligan guide
Druid: Arcane Blast, Babbling Book, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Hunter: Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Babbling BookFlamewaker, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Mage: Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Babbling Book, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Paladin: Babbling Book, Flamewaker, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Priest: Arcane Blast, Babbling Book, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Rogue: Arcane Blast, Azure Drake, Babbling Book, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Shaman: Arcane Blast, Babbling Book, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Warlock: Arcane Blast, Arcane Missiles, Babbling Book, Flamewaker, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image, Sorcerer's Apprentice
Warrior: Arcane Intellect, Azure Drake, Babbling Book, Frostbolt, Mana Wyrm, Mirror Image, Sorcerer's Apprentice

Substitutions: -Medivh, the Guardian +Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
-Medivh, the Guardian, Cabalist's Tome +Arcane Giant x2
Keep in mind these are rough ideas of what to mulligan for. Understanding what you will be playing against is key. For example, keeping an Azure Drake against control warrior can be fine but if you have it versus Pirate warrior you can just outright lose the game.
I tend to spend more time making decks and trying to figure out how to "Break the Meta" than actually playing the ladder and if that's your thing, feel free to add me "Madskillphil#1682". I am also an Admin on "Hearthstone Deck Builders" on Facebook. If Twitters your thing, you can reach me @Madskillphil. I'm not as active on Twitter but that's because I don't have many friends who use it, hopefully that changes.
I would love to start streaming but being at the bottom of the Twitch list is a pretty big downer since I get seriously like 2-3 viewers maximum so toss me a follow if you're interested in watching .:[ https://www.twitch.tv/madskillphil ]:. I would love to chill, hang out and talk Hearthstone with anyone who is willing to listen. :)
Thanks again for reading guys. Have a great night!
Video that Khristophesaurus made playing the deck.
Another video of the deck played by Furo.
Shout out to Asmodai (https://twitter.com/coL_Asmodai) way to much time spent in his stream watching him play Mage. Thanks for all the pointers and insights. I was a rank 4 hero prior to watching his stream.
LOVE this deck. I made a video of me playing the original version and then an adapted version (with +Arcane Giants and -one Tome, -Medivh): https://youtu.be/Z-DAgHxTNGo
1) First highlight - going up against a Warrior and losing to fatigue - some crazy highlights.
2) First full game using the original version of the deck: Taking a massive gamble, ignoring a Shaman's board and going face with burn. Cabalist's Tome so good ;-)
3) Second full game using the adapted version of the deck: Antonidas value against a Druid :-)
This deck is great. I went 19-4. I am however noticing that the games I lose are due to not having enough AOE effects, like if a lock or shaman overwhelm me with minions. I'm wondering if that's either a combo of L2P, bad luck, or bad RNG. Also I'm not high ranked, only 13. Regardless, I love decks like this. They show me how to craft something viable and that gives me a springboard to make my own modifications to fit my play style.
Edit: whoah, once I hit rank 13 my fortunes changed. I'm now 23-11. Maybe it's no longer appropriate for my scrub rank. Thanks regardless though, gives me ideas to go on.
This is the same deck Thijs played to rank 1 legend a season ago, but cut 2 flamestrikes for Archmage and Emperor. Not saying anything bad, but it's worth knowing which cards to cut for flamestrikes if you need the control.
fun deck, but medhiv is clearly too slow, ragnaros is probably way better
Without Barnes, use Yogg.
Yogg-Saron, Hope's End is no longer competitve, so I would craft other important stuff first like N'Zoth, the Corruptor and Ragnaros the Firelord. If you are satisfied with your collection already, go for it!
crap deck
Legendary crap actually and thank you :)
Man this deck is perfect im in 15/4 with this
I only change Medivh, the Guardian with Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
Thanks You so much man with this OP deck
How can I fit Harrison Jones in this?
I wouldn't personally run Harrison.
Against Control Warrior get as much value out of Archmage as you can.
replacing medivh, should i take rhonin or ragnaros?
win streak
This deck is sick.
Nice Dude. Keep it up. :)
Hey hey,
I would call such a deck Value Mage, but anyway nice deck! :)
I also made a video for your deck: VOD Value Mage
Youtube-Player:
Definitely tons of value for sure. It is essentially control even though a lot of the old Tempo Mage cards like Mana Wyrm and Flamewaker make it into the list. I actually like the name though because a lot of people who have played the deck try to play it super aggressive and that's not really the play-style. Thanks for the gameplay video man. Nice matches. :) Cheers!
If you face them a lot I personally would remove 1 tome and add 1 flamestrike. Ofc you might get some aoe from Tomes or babbling books but this chance is like 30%
I removed one of the tomes for a Flamestrike. Works great!
Thank for the deck. Which server do u play?
