Is there a reason this deck doesn't include a second mirror entity?  With the number of druids you see on the ladder I would think that it would be better then a second flame cannon.

Yes, there a lot of druids, but also face hunters, aggro shamans and whatnot. You can surely include a second Entity if you face a lot of druids though.

There's a note in card swaps stating that you can use any combination of Mirror, Duplicate or Counterspell. I'd prefer Mirror too, but I can see the usefulness of the other two.

Any tips against the current LoE priest deck? That is the only match up that seems impossible. Lightbomb destroys the early minions and I see no way around losing Antonidas and Dr boom to entomb >_<

Two Mad scientist with only two secrets - outcome is like like 75% of the games you are lucky if one of it has its deathratle bonus.

 

The text must be updates properly with the changes:

Counterspell is included as a 3rd Secret

you have 2 secrets in the deck

extra spells generated by Spellslinger

No Spellslinger in the deck.. and etc.

 

I will try swapping one of the Mad scientist for third secret and might swap the Water elemental for Emperor

what can we replace a mad scientist with?

Do you not have it? Because if you do I strongly recommend running him.

Any replacement for arcane blasts? Only missing them

You can run a second Mirror Entity and either a Mirror Image or A Polymorph: Boar. I'm running a different variation of this and I'm only running one Arcane blast but I have the above cards that I had suggested in mine and it is working fine.

I did very well with this deck last month, but as of this season I am getting completely destroyed by the new decks in the meta. Anybody else experiencing this? Any tips?

As for Secret pally, you will just have to learn how to trigger secrets and when you should use burn spells on face or when to use them to remove minions.

As for Renodecks, don't use burn spells on face until you have lethal. If you just spam spells on his face, he will heal and you will lose.

The deck is useless without them. If you really want to try this deck out though, you could try this deck and add a second Arcane Blast or a Pyroblast in the place of Tony.

i would go for loatheb or emperor thaurissan.

 

Loatheb is situational, depends on what decks u are facing.

Emperor Thaurissan is more standard, he is gonna speed up the fireball harvesting with Archmage Antonidas and let you finish the game quicker, as mrSottle states in the card swap section.

I gotta say, this deck does extremely well.  I have everything except for Dr. Boom (Thaurissan instead) and a 2nd Arcane Blast (Shade of Nax instead) and I've gone to rank 10 in about 3 days.  I'll see how high I can get in the rankings, but this has been great fun regardless.

 

Just wanted to give Sottle kudos.

I'm using tempo mage as listed.  I've been having a lot of problems against all flavors of Warlock lately (~33% win rate). 

Is this a particular weakness for tempo mage or can anyone provide some overall guidance for how I should be approaching zoo and handlock?

I'm having a decent amount of success with this deck (60-70% win rate up to rank 5 last season); however an issue I semi-often encounter is drawing my Secrets before getting my Mad Scientists, resulting in a tempo loss as I am left with a substandard 2-drop which can no longer put secrets into play. Do you think that running two Mad Scientists for two secrets might be too many, or that the tempo gain when they are played in "good conditions" outweighs the tempo loss when the draw works against me?

If I were to aim to drop one of the Mad Scientists, what would be a good substitution? A low cost drop/spell to help with the early game, or Emperor to help gain tempo in the late game?

Edited by Morthasa
Specified that the win rate applied to last season

You can probably play Bloodmage Thalnos or Cult Sorcerer instead, but he truth is Mad Scientist is secretly the strongest card in your deck. It's a 2 mana card that casts a 3 mana card for free and that card is supposed to replicate an effect of even greater cost spell = busted efficiency. 

Thaurissan is a bad idea because you're not stock on cards in the late game, you have a better option in Faceless Summoner and he does not gain you the revered tempo unless very specific circumstances are met.

I agree, that was never in question, my point is that, with only two secrets in the deck, I have equal chance of drawing as secret as a Scientist, and upon drawing a secret, one Scientist has effectively become a (semi) dead card. That is not the case for decks which run multiple secrets (such as 2x Ice Block and 2x Ice Barrier) where there is a good chance you'll still have secrets in your deck upon drawing your Scientists.

@MorthasaLet's say that Mad Scientist himself is worth 1.5 mana. With two Mad Scientist, you have a chance to get both Mad Scientists before your secrets for insane value of 9 mana for just 4 mana. With one Mad Scientist, you get 7.5 for 5 mana if you are lucky. This means you get "free" 5 mana instead of 2.5 mana if you get lucky.
Now, if you draw one of the two secrets before one of 2 Mad Scientists, you still get 9 mana value with 7 mana paid. This is still very good.
The worst case scenario for 2 Mad Scientists is 9 mana value for 10 mana paid, and for one Mad Scientist you get 7.5 mana value for 8 mana paid. One mana loss for a chance of getting 5 mana value is still very good.
If I do some very inaccurate and overly simplified math, I get 146% value from running 2 Mad Scientist, and "only" 131% value from running one Mad Scientist. So, it is better to have 2 Mad Scientists instead of one in terms of secrets value.

      Today, we're recapping the four Shaman cards revealed by Gamespot. We also have some dev clarifications on how they work.
      If you missed our previous Warrior recap, you will find it here.

       
      What a way to kick things off; this card looks insane! The dream is that Drakuru takes out two of your opponent’s minions, resurrects them on your side, and survives combat somehow. You’re looking at a 5-for-1 exchange on board.
      In the more likely scenario that it doesn’t survive, that’s still a complete flip of the board state. Even if it’s trading into a single big minion on the opponent’s side, that’s still a 2-for-1, with that 1 on your side being a big tough-to-kill minion. The only worry is that there will sometimes be late-game scenarios where the 6/8 stat line won’t be enough to get you any resurrections, but I’m hopeful those are few and far between.
      Still, even if the Big Shaman archetype doesn’t catch on for Shaman, I expect this card, in particular, to find a home in Renathal Control Shaman lists. This card is doing much of the same work that Sylvanas and Insatiable Devourer are without having to run through the trouble of infusing first.

      Once again, another big expensive card and a solid showy effect to go along with it. Obvious deathrattle/reborn synergy, as well as good with big minions in general. At 10 cost, it will take up your entire mana pool for the turn, though there are things you can do to play around that as a shaman.
      We’ve gotten some clarification from the devs on the mechanics of this one:
      All the copies summoned die at the end of the effect trigger after having attacked. Unfortunately, it won’t be some corruption-style aura effect that a cheeky Showstopper effect can silence off. Your copies are made from your hand from left to right until no more board spaces are available. Beware that Colossals will summon their appendages and take up potential board space from your other copies. Windfury minions will only attack. Sorry Drakuru, no double freebies for you ? Minions that enter Dormant won’t attack, but they won’t die either! The interaction of getting free dormant minion copies on board is interesting, but is there enough to build a deck around? In standard, there is Gangplank, Slimescale, and Pelican Divers, but outside of From De Other Side “synergy,” they might not be worth it. In Wild, at the very least, there is meme potential with getting Magtheridion and The Darkness out with this and getting their battlecries to awaken both copies when you play them out the turn after.
      There’s obvious synergy with the other big cards revealed here, with Prescience loading up your hand with some beefy bois, getting get off reborn, lifesteal and deathrattle value, summon a minion from Overlord Drakuru.

      That’s a lot of keywords for a single card, but they work together to become the stuff of nightmares for any board-based aggro deck. Taunt and lifesteal make this a nightmare to trade into, and even with enough removal to clear the main body and the reborn one, the deathrattle effect still will hit for 3 twice and heal you for 6. So while the 3 attack won’t be anything to write home about, plopping this down will buy you a good deal of time. There’s also the possibility to make use of the leftover reborn 3/1 body to evolve into a 9 or 10 drop.

      This card will get you 2 Mana 2/3 Ghostly Apparitions with the Undead minion type, which can matter for cards like Unliving Champion, or Invincible, for instance. Suppose you trigger the secondary ability here both times. In that case, that’s a pretty sweet deal right there, advancing a Big Shaman win con in 2 ways: The taunt on the Ghostly Apparitions advances your gameplan of stalling the game out until you can stabilize on board enough to play the 5+ Mana minions you’ve tutored out of the deck.
      We’ve theory crafted 3 potential builds that can use this package of Shaman cards.
      First, consider diving head first into the Big Shaman theme, bringing in Vanndar Stormpike and forgoing all other sub-5 cost minions to get max value out of Prescience and From De Other Side. We’re also going to run with the evolve subtheme to take advantage of any leftover bodies that we might get from Stoneborn General, Overlord Drakuru, or Blighblood Berserkers. The departure of the Knights of the Frozen Throne set will make evolving 10 drops better again now that there are no more Snowfury Giants in the Evolve pool, and we get to re-roll for the generally better bodies from the 10 costs. We’re adding in some early-game removal to compensate for the lack of early drops so we can better survive the early game.

      Next, let’s try to use the standard Renathal Control Shaman archetype that’s doing rather well in the meta as a starting point. One safe idea is to look at slotting Overlord Drakuru and potentially Brightblood Berskerker and From De Other Side into this standard XL Renathal Control Shaman as ways of fighting back on board while getting your infuse cards stacked up.

      We could instead also try and drop all the duplicates from the list and convert it into a Reno deck, as the deck was already playing a lot of one-offs. That gives us just enough room for one of each of these bad boys, which together with Reno will up the turnaround potential of the deck at the cost of a little bit of consistency. Doing so we can end up with this list:

      Why not use both and make it a Reno-thal deck? Prescience and Windchill will try to compensate for the loss of card draw from droping one copy of Gorloc Ravager and Famished fool. We are adding in Convincing Disguise to have still enough evolve effects around. The idea of including Bracing Cold and Far Sight is to hopefully discount From De Other Side or the evolve cards so we make use of any leftover bodies in the same turn. Ozumat’s in here not just to get us up to 40 cards, but because it’s a near guaranteed board clear combo with From De Other side, if you manage your hand and board space just right, that leaves you with all its appendages afterward.
