[Archived] S8 Hearthstone Mid Budget Mage Antonidas Aggro Deck

Recommended Posts

I had build an Antonidas deck using the previous mid-cost mage deck that was here as a template. My current mage deck looks like this: 

 

Mage
2x Mirror Image
2x Arcane Missiles
2x Ice Lance
2x Frostbolt
2x Sorcerer's Apprentice
2x Arcane Intellect
2x Ice Barrier
2x Ice Block
2x Water Elemental
2x Blizzard
2x Pyroblast 
1x Archmage Antonidas
 
Neutral
2x Loot Hoarder 
2x Novice Engineer
2x Azure Drake
1x Gadgetzan Auctioneer 
 
What are your thoughts? And if i wanted to build the one you have posted here using the cards I have available to me currently which replaces would you recommend as i seem to be short about 3-4 cards one of them being legendary.

What is the reasoning behind including counterspell in this deck? It seems to me hit-and-miss at best, and I don't think it's worth two slots. I would use two ice barriers if I were throwing in secrets. Please explain the reasoning here. :)

Ice Barriers can be great when playing against aggressive decks as they will help you get past the early stages of the match, however Counterspell will have much greater impact on the match in late stages. 

Also... there is nothing more annoying for your opponent than playing Anotnidas + Counterspell.

Hi, Poyo.

 

Looks like a great deck as the combinations seems to work well. I found this deck since i got one antonidas and want to find any deck building around him. I'm very new to this game, so couple of questions want to ask.

 

1. What would be the best starting card in your opinion (Like mirror image, frost bolt)?

 

2. When i collect the secret card, should i put it onto board as long as i have additional crystal or should i keep it to protect antonidas? 

 

3. Can you give a simple strategy when battling with any other classes, especially fast decks?

 

Thanks a lot~

 

Fay

Hey guys. Long time reader I'm new to hearthstone was wondering if you guys had any tips for grinding out dust I guess to create a legendary. 11000 plus dust seems like it would take months to gather. Any advice for the newbie trying to build a Mage deck. Love mages.

same here.

I'd like to make a suggestion :D

Take out Nat Pagle, 2x Counterspell, 1x Archmage and replace them with 2x Sunfury Protector and 2x Defender of Argus. It will make the deck a bit more mid-range aggressive. The deck works, however getting Archmage to roll is often hard and I know that some players may destroy their game trying to force an Archmage kill.

I've won plenty with this deck. It's not the best deck, of course, but it's very fun to play! The best is when you have double sorc apprentice and Archmage on the board. 3-5 fireballs in 1 turn always feels good. I didn't have nat pagle so I used a sunfury to help with cheesy decks. Replaced one Azure with a Gadgetzan, and the second counterspell with a blizzard.

Hi Poyo,

Hi all,

 

My first contribution to this forum is:

 

Tauren Warrior or Ragen Worgen, for a 3 mana replace of Harvest Golem ?

 

I like the idea of activating the enrage of either with Fireblast, but do you feel that is truly viable? Do any even survive one round to be able to pull that off?

 

For this deck, since it's an agressive deck, I would think the Worgen would be a better fit. 

 

But can you think of other good cards to trade for Harvest Golem for the noobs like me that haven't got one yet in a booster? :)

Hey, WurmD!

I know Enrage minions might be appealing, but you need to consider the impact they will have on the board. Tauren Warrior is absolutely horrible and you should not consider it in any constructed deck - it is simply too expensive and Amani Berserker will always make a much better alternative - it would, however, make your deck heavy on 2 mana drops.

Raging Worgen could work, however you need to understand that it will get taken out by a single spell and you will rarely get to enrage it. Check the new deck list, you might like it a lot with Kirin Tor Mage, can be a really nasty play :)

Agreed with above poster. Got to rank 14 with my own, bad aggro deck (mage) that is minion heavy. Drew the Archmage and started using this, but I just keep losing almost every game. It feels like this deck loses to nearly all aggro decks (who have far more minions), as well as any shaman control deck.

Nearly all my few victories have been against players who have had weak early or if I had miraculously good early with perfect starting hand and draws. I don't know if it's me doing something really wrong or if thr deck isn't working as intended.

This deck got me down to about rank 14...  then promptly kicked back up to 18 or so, because not everyone is retarded. It's just not an aggro deck with the Secrets and Archmage synergy. Trying to roll a Counterspell with an Archmage, and hoping for an Antonidas by turn 7?

      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!
