Why would'nt you run a flamestrike?

This is more of an aggressive archetype and Flamestrike is a bit slow.  Firelands Portal has a spot due to fact that it not only deals damage, it also summons a minion.

It also can go face. That's a huge difference.

The deck is fast enough to deal with most of aggro decks, and against control decks, you don't want a Flamestrike (or any AoE that cannot go face for that matter), but a strong proactive card, such as Kabal Crystal Runner or Water Elemental.

Does this deck value board control or face pressure?

A bit of both. You want to maintain your board while applying pressure to the face which isn't that hard to do with all of mages burn spells and cards like Medivh's Valet

Any replacements for Medivh's Vallet?

Medivh's Valet is a strong tempo card, and removing it is a big hit. You can try one Flamestrike and either one Loot Hoarder, or one Cabalist's Tome, depending on your meta. Just note that your winrate won't be that good anymore.

While every version that I have looked up runs Primordial Glyph, each one has different cards that this version doesn't have. A lot of them run Babbling Book while others run Cabalist's TomeFaceless Summoner and some even run Archmage Antonidas and Yogg-Saron, Hope's End. I wouldn't say these are good replacements for Primordial Glyph but it lets you know that there are other options ran in this archetype. I hope this helps.

You should craft them, Primordial Glyph is an incredibly powerful card. You can try to replace them with Babbling Book in the meantime, but it's a much more random and weaker choice.

Some of the issue you may be facing could be the opponents. You may need to tech for certain match-ups yes, or you may need to switch decks all together. We are glad you are enjoying the deck though. :)

Just had a 13 game ranked win streak (to rank 11), using the L0rinda Variant. Thanks for listing it.

I finally lost to a secret hunter.

Why Ice Block?   I figure another, more offensive spell (I use spellbender in a very similar deck) fits better, if you need Ice Block then something's probably gone wrong anyway IMO, while usually it just sits there all game otherwise.

It's there for a multitude of reason, with the main ones being having a secret up at all times to more consistently enable the battlecry of Medivh's Valet, or to let you try and draw some burn if the opponent is low as well, which has become even more important with the addition of Aluneth to the game.

I found myself replacing Ice block too. Yes, what positiv2 said is right but I rather keep a velet in hand or play it without the battlecry than having a secret that is doing nothing in most games.

But I guess secret mage will not be playable with the next rotation (unless they put new fancy stuff in the next expansion that supports it) ofc there are still a lot of tools which will not rotate out but the loss in speed due to Kabal LackeyKabal Crystal Runner and Medivh's Valet is hard to compensate

Eh lackey is pretty meh in the deck, quite a few versions of this deck don't even run it, the Valet, while nice, is also not necessary, but the crystal runner will hurt, a lot.

The idea behind ice block is that you can go all in and go face with everything you have, knowing that the opponent needs at very least 2 turns to kill me.

Using or not using ice block means that you play the deck a little different: with it you're playing a burn the face deck, and you should use lots of direct damage spell to hit face. Without it, you are playing an aggro/tempo deck where board matters.

      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!
