[Archived] S12 Hearthstone Low Budget Mage Aggro Deck

[Guest Hannibal]

Seems I am getting destroyed using this deck, 9/10 times I get over run at about turn 6.  What am I doing wrong here? Do I just have bad luck?  I am being very aggressive, leading with my spells to the face and saving minions to take out other minions.  Is this a bad strategy? Help....

You shouldn't use Fireball and Frostbolt on the enemy Hero, unless you can kill that turn. The priority for each turn is to keep the board clean by making efficient trades with your minions or your spells, and then attack the enemy Hero if you still have minions that can attack.

I absolutely love this deck! It's difficult playing ranked sometimes if you have bad luck at the start, even after mulligans BUT I've one so many going no further than the 4th turn. Kudos!!

What, if anything, would you change in this deck re the new spider cards?

I just started Hearthstone a couple of days ago and I became absolutely hooked. I kept loading my deck with lots of high damage/versatility that also costed a lot of mana, and while I won numerous games I lost about twice as much. With this deck though I am at a 6 win streak! Of course, I didn't have that much dust to spare so I replaced the rare cards with some soulbound ones that were similar. Reckless Rocketeer and Frostwolf Warlord seemed like the most viable options for Azure and Argent Commander. Couldn't scrounge up for another Knife Juggler so I used Faerie Dragon instead.

Now is a 19 deck...tryed 20 games, still 19. 

New cards killed this deck, now pretty useless.

3 wons in a row, pretty great starting deck if you have game knownlage. great to start ranked.

[Guest Barny]

Not really balanced for the newer cards. Far too easy to get swarmed, no AOE removal.

 

Got me from 17 back down to 20 lol.

Worthless deck. Got me from lvl 16 to 20 in 1 hour. Sure you can do 20 damage to the enemy hero quickly but then you have no cards to play and he will have good cards to play and will win. Not a good deck anymore

I can confirm this deck is no longer working.

 

I got to rank 10 last season with this exact deck (as advertised ), now I got from 16 to 19 with 2 wins and the rest losses.

- last round I usually finished opponent was round 7-8.

 

I found no class that is vulnerable to this deck today:

Warrior had shieldmaiden... got him to 2 health, then he had lethal.

Priest just healed and wiped the board.

While I was busy taking out the mech rogue's minions with spells, died.

Hunter was just faster than me at dealing face damage.

Shaman summoned some 7/8 with taunt costing 5 mana. Had 3 minions with taunt on the board.

Paladin summoned quartermaster and did 20 damage when I had him at 6 health with fireball in hand... round 7.

 

Handlock and warlock zoo no longer meta... I guess that was the strong point of this deck.
