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.

      Hello everyone,
      Last patch gave us 40% and 10% damage increase on ray of frost and glacial spike
      Does anyone know of these changes make them relevant ?
      Should frost mage play with these or one of these now ?
