So if those thing will be played in the meta, Book is a better choice. It can be Silenced, Priest can snatch it etc. However, one thing I don’t like about Tempest is that it can get countered. You also miss the opportunity to get activation from turn 2 Glyph into Glyph (or Glyph into Frostbolt for example if you have a target right away). Having to play the Quest might break your curve. And yes, you could play Book instead on t1 and play Quest before you play your generated spell. You always have a t1 play, which is the Quest. The reason why I’ve decided to go with Shimmering Tempest over Babbling Book is the curve. Even though the deck doesn’t seem to run THAT much removal, the real numbers will be relatively higher, as you have a solid chance to get such spells from outside of your deck. Primordial Glyph can give you another copy of itself or Cabalist’s Tome. Remember, however, that the real number will likely be higher, because you can get other random spells generators from the ones you play. I’ve figured out that in order to accomplish the Quest quite consistently, you need to be able to generate around 10 spells in total from your deck alone. First ones are removal and Freezes, second ones are card draw and random spells generators. But that’s not really too different than the previous Freeze Mage vs Control Warrior matchup.īesides the combo, the deck basically consists of two things – tools to stall the game and tools to complete your Quest. It means that, for example, Taunt Warrior might be a deck you can’t possibly beat – not only he would gain Armor to neutralize your 2 turns combo, but the Taunts might stand in your way. It can be countered in two ways: first is Taunts (but you’d need multiple, because a single one can be cleared by Fireball or Polymorph on the Giant’s turn) and second one is Armor. It’s a very powerful combo, which is rather hard to counter. After you finish the Quest, you play it + 2x Arcane Giant one turn and then Alexstrasza your opponent next turn and hit face with the Giants. You play a 2 turns combo that gets activated by your Quest. Maybe let’s first talk about how the deck works. This is an interesting deck – Freeze Mage is rotating out, but if you liked that deck, don’t worry – this one might be a great replacement. Last brew from the first batch is Combo Mage. And so, I don’t recommend crafting the cards Day 1 – you should probably wait and see how the meta turns out! However, since it’s impossible to tell how the new meta will look like, those might not be the best lists or they might not even work at all. In the Quick Brews series, I’ll make a single pre-release deck for each class and talk a bit about it.
