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.

Off the top of my head I would do the following, but I want to try it myself also before I make the changes:
- (2) Mad Scientist + 2 Kabal Lackey
- (1) Sorcerer's Apprentice -(1) Bloodmage Thalnos
+(2) Potion of Polymorph
-(1) Barnes -(1) Emperor Thaurissan +(2) Kabal Crystal Runner
To be continued......
Maybe Kabal Crystal Runner?
Pretty close to a Reno deck
use this fantastic deck from lv.17 to lv.6 in a row. 95% win rate
thank you !
any replacement for Rhonin? :/ i see it is important card beacuse of the sinergy with barnes but sorry to craft few weeks before expansion..
Rhonin isnt the end all of this deck, and wasnt even it it till now earlier revisions had Archmage, or Boom, or anything else that is a good late game character that can sync w/ Barnes or not.
Got top 4 with your list. It is fun and cool. Thank you ^^ http://prnt.sc/db5e79
15-4 with the deck so far using the +Rhonin - Boom suggestion. Getting Rhonin off Barnes feels so damn dirty :3 I will say 2 of my wins we're the results of the GODs of RNG parting the clouds and smiling on me. Once a Rogue had a full board and 19HP, and I had Rag. He ignored my Rag and went face to pop ice block. I double Fireballed Him and Rag hit Face. Another situation. Hunter had 15 HP I double Fireballed Him to 3. He popped my Iceblock. I played Rag and he hit face to give me the win.
Gonna play this deck until the end of the season and try to farm the final 50 wins for my Golden Mage. Thanks for the List!
Glad you are having fun with it!!!
Hi all! Love the deck. But I've found that this deck is feast or famine in the early game. For example, a hand full of secrets with no Kirin Tor Mage or losing value from having to play Medivh's Valet with no secret to activate. Also, have found card draw to be a bit of a problem. So I made some changes that have worked for me that have helped with the early game, helped me cycle, and given me an extra win condition.
I saw others suggest the removal of Dr. Boom and adding Rhonin for added synergy with Barnes, and an added win condition when paired with Archmage Antonidas. So I made this change and found it to be excellent. Such an awkward card for your opponent to deal with.
I also removed Loatheb which I found to be too clunky and Counterspell accomplishes anyway. Also removed Firelands Portal which was also too clunky. I replaced both of these cards with Loot Hoarder's which cycle, help with the early game, and synergize better with Barnes.
Let me know what you think!
Just try this out.. Since I don't have Archmage so I replace it with Mediv. And, I replace 1 counterspell with 1 Speelbender..
Thanks...
Glad to see people trying new things! Here's my Secret Mage that I use in Standard Format:
I like it! Do you really feel the need for 2 x Arcane Intellect? I have felt that card draw w/ added spells via Babbling Book seems to do ok.

I have always found Arcane Intellect to be so strong for any Mage deck. Card draw is huge to get the upper hand. I used to also run a yogg in this deck before the nerf.
This is working great, especially against people coming Wild with Standard decks :) Nice job!
Amazing deck 1 loss from Rank 25-14 and even that was one turn away from winning!! Nice work on this fun deck
Glad you like it!

I'm sure there is a good reason but why don't you have ethereal arcanist in the deck? There is also too little card draw for a deck that often plays 2 cards on the same turn. I had to topdeck in the end of the match. You don't really need Loatheb with 2 counterspells in the deck, so I took that out and added an cabalist's tome.
Up until recently Ice Block was not in the deck, and a lot of the other secrets did not last long enough to see a good gain from arcanist. Please feel free to experiment with it and let me know how it goes.

super fun deck! really having fun in wild :)
