Evident’s Underdog Rules Tavern Brawl Basic Mage

I’ve had really good luck with this deck, and the times I lost I could have played better and maybe come out ahead. Do not be above pinging your own face if your opponent is going to receive a minion next turn and you can prevent it. This doesn’t mean you should be sending a Fireball to your dome, but try to be the one that’s receiving minions. I played a lot of decks that were aggressive so because of my higher curve they were usually out in front, but because I was getting free minions and could deal with their board with spells I’d eventually pull ahead. Darkscale Healer seems counter-productive, but it can save you and your board when your health gets too low. I would even consider using Earthen Ring Farseer (in place of Shattered Sun Cleric) just to keep yourself at a manageable health.

I would also consider adding a second Frost Nova (you can cut Stormpike Commando) because you’re really looking to buy yourself a turn in the end to finish your opponent. I found that I was always the one at low health and my opponent would try to go for the kill. I could Frost Nova their board and set them up for a next turn lethal while still not giving them a minion.
