Rastakhan Tempo Mage

As this is an archetype I’ve played MUCH more than any other, I thought i’d have a go at Tempo Mage for the new expansion.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this is the sort of deck that might do well in the meta early on (with others wanting the big late game win conditions enabled by the new cards released).

New Synergies

Elemental Evocation With Cosmic Anomaly, Leyline Manipulator

Blast Wave With Bloodmage Thalnos Spellzerker, Leyline Manipulator

I’ve cut Arcane Missiles, mainly because of the inclusion of Blast Wave, and haven’t run a Counterspell as i’m sick of it being “mineswept” by opponents.  The new secret Splitting Image seems cool, and at least the bulk of the control is with the Mage, not the opponent (you can choose which minions are on the board when it is played etc).

There’s loads of new ideas in the deck, but it’s basically still the same goal (early board position with lots of face damage to close).

Hopefully you can see what i’m trying to do by looking at which cards are included.
