Looking for a decent Mage deck: ideas?

[Farneze]

Hey guys. I'm currently using the following kind of Mage deck:

2x leper gnome
2x argent squire
2x loot hoarder
2x knife juggler
2x raid leader
2x harvest golem
2x shattered sun cleric
2x ice barrier
2x fireball
2x yeti
2x water elemental
2x defender of argus
2x squire attend me ready sir
2x argent commander
2x flamestrike

I'm not sure this is an ideal mix really, but I do feel like the bot is doing OK. My win rate was 41% over 80 games this morning (still experimenting), and I did start at rank 14 so it was probably better in the 19-18 range where I was at the end.

Are there any possible improvements I could make to this deck? One thing that has somewhat impressed me is that the bot uses fireball and flamestrike pretty intelligently. It'll use fireball for lethal and flamestrike on 2+ minions but never only one.

Thanks for any advice!

I am not a huge fan of loot hoarders in bot decks because they are generally used to cycle through your deck to find combo cards. Seeing as though the bot doesn't use combos, I find it loses a lot of its value.

I would probably replace them with oozes

This deck runs around 60-64% win rate on casual. It has even had 8 wins in a row once. It does have some bad days, but I've leveled with it to level 36 or 38 with over a 50% win rate over 80 games per session. I didn't run it much on ranked though - I think it did a little worse there. It has never had a 40% win rate though - so you can expect much better than what you're getting. Feel free to take out 1 arcane missles and put in a flamestrike - I've done that on occasion.



If you manually pilot this deck on casual, you're going to kill it. It is very good.
