Mulligan Guide

General

These are your early-game hits. You want to get control of the board early to make sure your burn spells can finish the game, and here are the options we have for getting onto the board and maintaining that early presence.

Vs. Aggro

This list is fairly good against Aggro strategies since we have access to 3-health Minions that we already want to be playing. There's also a Golakka Crawler to deal with the more aggressive half of the format.

Vs. Control

We definitely want to get on the board as quickly as we can against control decks, and we have access to two very good 4-mana Minions to help against Priest's removal. These are the cards that are gonna end up doing the most damage against them early.

Deck Description

Here's a Secret Mage list that takes advantage of the new toys presented in the Kobolds & Catacombs set. Leyline Manipulator provides a sweet synergy with Book, Glyph, and Tome, and the new Secret Explosive Runes is exactly what the doctor ordered!
