Cheap Mage Standard

So played this deck for a good 4-5hrs .. It has a good match-up versus most classes except cancer shaman, zoo and dragon priests .. Reached rank 9 so far. It's awesome not having to wait for FW for that tempo turn.

Dragon Priest I would assume will always be a tough matchup, simply because it will eventually outvalue you on board or force you to use early removal and then overtake you in late game. The use of Entomb/Death also helps vs. C'thun, since you barely have any targets in the deck.

My dragon Priest sucks .. I run the same cards that Kibler runs (no Rend for me), make some changes when needed .. Most games I lose cause of really bad draw ..

It's all about ensuring you get trading value out of your dragon drops. Keeping them healed, forcing good trades or forcing early removal.

Hey guys, so I was able to get all of the cards in the deck except for one single Azure Drake. What should be the best replacement?

From the more expensive options you have Brann BronzebeardTwin Emperor Vek'lorSylvanas WindrunnerRagnaros the Firelord or Bloodmage Thalnos. The cheap options are, among many others, Firelands PortalBlizzard/FlamestrikeDoomsayer or Acidic Swamp Ooze.

Hi, I'm a big fan of this deck, it's fun to play with.

Do you think adding a couple Firelands Portal is an upgrade to this deck? Which cards should be removed?

Also, what MSG cards do you think might work well here? 

Cheers

Sure, in place of Faceless Summoner.
MSG was a weak expansion for C'thun decks. You can try Second-Rate Bruiser, which is the only card that can work in this low budget deck. Once you get Twin Emperor Vek'lor, you can include him and one copy of Manic Soulcaster.

Just a correction, the article implies that Firelands Portal can only be obtained by purchasing the expansion. Firelands Portal could be included in this list at no cost to the budget deckbuilder, since you can obtain it for free by defeating the introductory Karazhan mission that is available even to players that did not purchase One Night in Karazhan.

Convert the deck to Standard and the game will let you know which cards are not supposed to be there.

Thank you - I converted the deck and no cards changed, but it became playable. Really odd!

In order to even be able to add wild cards, the deck needs to be in wild first. You have probably created it with wild collection on, or after opening a wild deck in your collection. Make sure to pay attention to the decks' playmode when creating them.

Are you looking at a golden rare because that is the only card that cost 800 dust.

I'm sure this isn't top priority rn with the new set just released, but with TOG rotated out, this is no longer a standard list.

Hey, I added this onto our to-do list. As you say, this isn't our top priority right now with new expansion just released. but we'll try to get the Cheap deck up-to-date as soon as we have enough Boomsday decks.

WOTG is no longer available, so the freebies no longer exist,It doesn't look like they can be crafted either.

A new  cheap mage deck needs to be created and shown for new players.

I'm guessing this may well be the case for the other types, cheap Shaman or Warrior etc.

especially if the decks were put together 2 years ago!

Found that cards not available

      Hearthstone is taking a bold step into the StarCraft universe with "Heroes of StarCraft: The Great Dark Beyond," a 49-card mini-set launching in January 2025.
      Featuring iconic factions like Zerg, Protoss, and Terran, complete with legendary leaders Sarah Kerrigan, Artanis, Jim Raynor, this set blends StarCraft nostalgia with Hearthstone's gameplay.
      Additionally, Arena Mode is getting a massive overhaul, introducing shorter Normal Arena runs and a high-stakes Underground Arena with a game matching "re-draft on loss" mechanic, giving you the option to re-draft cards, edit your deck, and keep your run alive, after you lose.
      The year ahead promises 3 expansions, including the Emerald Dream's battle between Old Gods and Druids, a return to Un'Goro Crater, and a Chromie-led journey through alternate realities.

      Hearthstone: Heroes of StarCraft – The Great Dark Beyond Mini-Set  
      Early next year, Hearthstone is going beyond Warcraft and into... Heroes of StarCraft! This special Mini-Set will have a whopping 49 new cards across three themed factions, which show what the StarCraft universe would look like in the Hearthstone Tavern. Each faction is made up of cards that can be used across multiple classes, including an iconic Hero card. 
       Zerg 
      Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Hunter, and Warlock have joined the Zerg! Led by the formidable  Sarah Kerrigan, they will have aggressive cards that win the game by swarming the board. 
       Protoss 
      Druid, Mage, Priest, and Rogue fight for the Protoss Empire. Led by the High Templar Artanis, they will have powerful, high-cost cards that are made cheaper throughout the game. 
       Terran 
      Paladin, Shaman, and Warrior make up the Terran forces, led by the one and only Jim Raynor. They will command Battlecruisers—a special take on the Starship mechanic from The Great Dark Beyond. 
      The Mini-Set will feature a slew of StarCraft units which are sure to invoke nostalgia, as well as the Terran-armored Murloc, Grunty, and new, thematic music. You can chart a course for the Heroes of StarCraft Mini-Set, launching in January 2025! More announcements, details, and card reveals are coming closer to launch. 
       Major Arena Updates 
      Then, for the first time in 10 years, Arena Mode is getting a major overhaul. With that update, there will be two kinds of Arena to choose from. Normal Arena will be shorter form, allowing you to complete your runs more quickly. Competitive Arena players will be able to play in the higher-stakes Underground Arena, with longer runs and a new feature: Re-Draft on Loss. Re-Draft on Loss means that, after you lose, you’ll have the option to re-draft cards, edit your deck, and keep your run alive. 
      Ratings will also be added to both Normal and Underground Arena. Normal, skill-based matchmaking will be used for Normal Arena. Underground Arena throws caution to the wind and lets you face off against opponents of all skill levels. 
      This major Arena revamp is coming in the first half of next year. Look out for more details about this update closer to when it goes live. 
      A Preview of the Year Ahead: The Year of the Raptor!
      On top of those updates, Hearthstone has an exciting year of expansions ahead, with much-requested themes, locations, and familiar faces across Azeroth. 
      In the first expansion of the year, enter the Emerald Dream and join the battle between the Old Gods and the Druids of the Emerald Dream for the fate of the World Tree. Things will heat up even more when the Druids of the Flame light up the Mini-Set (releasing earlier than normal this year, during the 32.2 Patch). 
      The second expansion of the year will be Hearthstone’s first-ever sequel: the return to Un’Goro Crater! Join Elise on a hunt for a mythical, lost Tortollan city. When you find it, join the Tortollans in a festival to celebrate the mighty dinosaurs of the crater in the 33.4 Mini-Set. 
      In the third expansion of the year, travel with Chromie through alternate realities to recruit Legendary Warcraft heroes like you’ve never seen them before. Leading to the 34.4 Mini-Set: an epic showdown against Murozond at the end of time!
