[Archived] S20 Hearthstone Mage Mech Aggro

Recommended Posts

Rag instead of Antonidas is ok, but as you say you do become pretty exposed to BGH. Against Grim Patron Warrior you need to 

just be as aggressive as possible. It's not a fantastic matchup, but you'll have the most success by just relentlessly rushing them down and not giving them time to setup their Grim Patron turns. Patron Warriors don't play all the life gain tools that Control 
Warriors do, so they are vulnerable to rush.

If you want to tech against them a little more, you can include Water Elementals in place of one Shredder and one Tinkertown in order to get some more Freezing power, or tech in an Ooze. You can also take a look at the Blingtron/Harrision build on the site that is much stronger against Warrior, but you might not have the cards for that one.

As an experienced mech mage player I would recommend trying your best to get either boom or antonidas, without either the deck has no late game threats against control decks or strong finishers against midrange. Good substitutions would be Piloted Sky Golem, Flamestrike, or even Pyroblast as I've seen some people play lately. If I could choose one I'd say craft dr. Boom and put in Pyroblast, alternative would be craft Antonidas and put in Piloted Sky Golem.

Leeroy Jenkins serves no purpose as this is not a Face deck, but an aggro/midrange deck that relies on board control more than anything else. You are not supposed to lack finishers thanks to double fireball, double frostbold, antonidas and all your spare parts, and you are really dependent on the card draw from Azure Drake(I actually swopped out Drake for Harrison a few days back as the current meta allows it for better value than Drake).

I'm not sottle but I have played my fair share of over 700 games with mech mage on high ladder so I believe my advice is applicable.

So the only card I'm missing in this deck is Antonidas, what would you suggest I sub in for it? I first had a Piloted Sky Golem, but then Patron Warriors and Face Hunters plagued my matches so I switched to a Flamestrike. Perhaps there's a better sub than these two cards, flamestrike has been decent for me

I think Sky Golem is significantly better than Flamestrike. If you are encountering a LOT of Patrons, then Flamestrike is ok, but I wouldn't include Flamestrike as an option against Face Hunter at all.

What do you believe would be the more beneficial swap for Antonidas, Black Knight or Rag?

Rag-8 guaranteed damage, but BGH.

BK-Dealing with mid-game walls, but already have Fireballs.

Thanks for this - needed a quick start to learning how to win with a Mage other than frost and built this deck quickly with stuff I had and some dust all except for Archmage Antonidas

 

Played casual. Played 5 games, won 5 games.

Rag.

 

Belcher is the only consistent target for TBK in the meta right now, and it still doesn't get dealt with entirely.

i have problem with this deck since i cannot win nothing. Secret Pal,Control decks and more are just too hard to stomp on. Any ideas how to deal with them?

I'm going to need more specifics than that, Secret Pally is probably just a bad matchup, I don't think i've got to play it at all yet, but in theory it seems bad in my head. Most Control decks you should do decently against though.

Biggest prob right now is Dragon Priest and lose mostly to Hunter. I am destroying the ridler paladin currently rank 14.

I think it's one too many late-game bombs, the deck is so aggressive that you often don't need the mass of Fireballs at the end, just one or two should suffice.

Fel Reaver is totally fine, Micro Machine is definitely worth considering, but I favour the more difficult to remove minions, it's a lot easier to get the minions in this deck to stick to the board, so they'll often get to attack more than once and end up doing more damage than a Micro Machine anyway. And yeah, Junkbot is precisely as you said, too situational, not to mention you're not really in the business of your Mechs dying anyway, you want them to live!

 

Would Fel Reavers still be viable options for this deck? What would I replace? Or should I go with the Legendary Mage Fel Reaver deck if I wanted to play them? Thanks!

      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!
