Mean Streets Upgraded STD Deck Below.
Wildly Secret Superstar V2.0 Mean Streets
Fantastic deck that I made over time from combining aspects of Temp Mage, Freeze Mage and Secret mage decks.
I am currently on a 11-0 run with it thought I would share.
+20 Up and I will do a guide assuming there is enough interest.
Great Feedback and I am glad you all like the deck, here is a basic guide how I use the deck, over time I will elaborate.
Opening Mulligan
The obvious always holds true, if you have an idea of what you are up against you will want to keep specific cards, i.e. Flamestrike vs aggro ect.
A standard mulligan I am shooting for the following cards:
I try to not have any secrets in my hand on the opening draw, or any high value cards. The point of the deck is to have enough aggro / defense to do damage early, and potentially win like an aggro deck, but if you run out of steam you have the ability to excel in late game play. Secrets will make life hell for your opponent. I recently took the Arcane Intellect out because there is a lot of card generation from Babbling Book, Duplicate, Mirror Entity ect. So most times its not an issue.
Combo Moves
Mad Scientist has great synergy with getting secrets out early and cheap
Kirin Tor Mage will allow for secrets to start flying out with low cost and provide you with decent minions for the field.
Any secret + Medivh's Valet is a great combo, so you will want to hold on to those Valets as long as possible for extra kick!
BarnesFantastic card for the deck, will allow for another Mad Scientist or even if your lucky a 1/1 Ragnaros the Firelord which still hits for 8!
More to Come soon......
Thanks for all the feedback!
Game Play Video: Thanks again to Khristophesaurus
EDIT 11/14/16
Added:
Ice Block, Animated Armor, Firelands Portal.
Dropped:
Arcane Int - ALready has good card draw seems not needed
Flamewalker - Really not a tempo deck and doesn't last long
Ice Barrier - Dropped for iceblock for Valet combos due to user feedback! Good stuff.
EDIT 11/15/16
Due to some great feedback from the community I think we are getting really close to locking this deck down. Dropped Animated Armor for Emperor Thaurissan, still works very effective as a "taunt" minion but also fantastic synergy with Barnes.
Dropped Medivh, the Guardian for Archmage Antonidas again both fantastic cards, but Archmage Antonidas has been deck synergy.
Edit 11/22/16
Took out Archmage for Rhonin based on some comment feedback. Pulling Rhonin off of Barnes can be pretty amazing & lots of fun!!!
Edit 12/08/16
Due to popular request I have revised this deck to add MSG cards to once again smash the wild rankings!!! Please off feedback and opinions about the changes.
Edit 12/14/16
Kabal Lacky was taken out due to really huring the deck with loss of card draw. Playing a secret on turn 1 / 2 isn't turing out too great. Mad Scientist was brought back in for more synergy with secrets and just the overall power of the card.
Edit 12/16/16
I have finally got the deck to where I want to post MSG. I really thought the Kabal Lacky would add value and it was not he case. This deck as of today is doing very well in the wild rankings and has a very high win rate once again. In addition, maybe just my luck, there is not a lot of anti secret decks at the moment.

The fact that there are so many pirates and egg druids in the meta right now made me swap Ragnaros with Volcanic Potion.
Fun games with this cool deck!
...but hard looses on turn 5 vs Aggro Pirate/Shaman even with aggresive mulligan. How do you handle these games? Have you tech something especial (ooze, arcane explosion)?
Versus aggro decks my goal is to get out Babbling Book / Mad Scientist. Obvious Right? LOL Assuming card draw lets you. If I know I am playing a zoolok or something that is low mana board control aggro deck, I will try and keep flamestrike if I get it.
Now a combination of hero power 2/1's and trades in the beginning will slow the bleeding. A good spell off a Babbling book can also help. Once you get these decks to turn 6-8 you can be sitting really good. Just cause you have coin and its turn 6 w/ a flamestrike in your hand dont always use it. See what else you can do to attempt to control the board.
Great tempo plays like Kirin Tor Mage + Secret will help overcome this deck also.
At the moment the only deck that I have problems with, 50/50 win rate is Kazzakus Reno Lock. But also remember we are playing wild so you will see less of these main decks.
Good luck and let me know if I can still help. Finally if you are seeing A TON of weapon decks ditch Thalanos for the ooze on a tech play.

Thanks for your reply. I faced many time the same Pirate Warrior player (unlucky...) this morning and never beat him once. That's why I ask for tips. I changed Rhonin for Mana Wyrm but it wasn't enough to contest Patches &co.
BUT I won ALL my other games, so good Winrate overall and a lot of fun with a new feeling for me (never played a deck like this one, and that's what I'm looking for). So thanks again!
any substitute for Loatheb? the only card I dont have, thanks for the help
Use Ethereal Arcanist. Will have good synergy with secrets.

to many bad targets for barnes :D
Barnes is not a win condition for the deck. It is an added bonus. Play it and you will be presently surprised. It is basically a 50/50 that he will pull something good.
i think he less than 50/50 of somthing good what do you recomend instead of him as i am trying your deck plz?
Honestly I have very happy with him, and once again the deck shines amazing in the wild ladder as is. If you don't have him then I would put in a minion of a sim liar mana cost. But if you do have him I recommend you give it a shot and let me know how your experiences go.

ok then i will give barnes a chance but i was thinking in wild with secret pally still around hunters using secrets aswel as mages tech card eater of secrets cud be better :D if i do lose barnes i guess i must also lose rhonin so i have some testing and decisions maybe sylvanas cud replace rhonin can be difficult for opponent to deal i dunno at this time hehe
Last night I played for ~2 hours and came across 2 secret pallys. Neither was an issue and as long as I maintained board control they could not get much done. It also helped that my Countspells took out a concentration and a LOH
-Ex
at this moment im running 2 secret keepers minus barnes and rhonin :D
Why Rhonin? Your are not even playing Barnes anymore!
Still a work in progess on the remake w/ the new cards. Not sure what I want to do with it. I really dont like the Mad Scientists being out of it, and the Kabal Lacky just creates a shortage of cards.
To Be Continued.....
With the new changes I'm thinking about going -Rhonin -Rag - Polymorph secret and Adding Fegun Stalagg and Nzoth for some death rattle flavor ;) Ill let you know how I do.
INB4 0-10
This remains unchanged for wild? I mean no MSG cards on the wild deck?
I made a new V2.0 deck that is linked above. Lots of changes, but I kept this one as is for wild format. Thanks for asking!
-Ex
Yeah, but the v2.0 is standard only. Are you still going to change this wild deck, while staying wild? Any MSG card worth the space in this deck? I'm a wild-only player. Few of us remain.
Sure I get it! Um give me a little time to think what I would do. Its a great idea to revamp this one as well.
