Hearthstone: Trump Deck Teachings - 03 - Tempo Mage (Mage)

[@suremaine]

I'm so glad Trump decided to do these type of videos. I've been learning the game by myself for months and it is nice to get decks broken down for me and explained how it is constructed and how it's played. Thanks man.

[@Blorp_]

I agree.

[@Krulm4n]

suremaine could not agree more man!

[@pikewerfer]

+suremaine true

[@wantingthesky]

+suremaine hahah n00b

[@mertalpsoy]

+wantingthesky go drink your milk kid

[@JellySkele]

That transition from the play button to the fiest match was flawless!

[@FangBang3r]

Lui J Right Holy crap.. shout out to jens

[@RapiDEraZeR]

Lui J where?

[@oriolandresmunoz2999]

Lui J And the professional damage counters which appear instantly anytime Trump makes an estimate! I don't even try to count the Mana Wyrm damage myself anymore, I just glance at Jen's counter XD

[@RapiDEraZeR]

UknownSoldier oh,i see.thanks

[@IAmPatulio]

In case you got in confused with Tempo Mage (Druid)

[@zakasis4124]

2:18 I gotta say, that transition into the game was beautiful.

[@streetg850]

Zak Asis Jana's editing cuts all the fillers. Would love to have that in real life sometimes after long que waiting

[@nunu7797]

I really like this format of explaining the deck in few minutes then showing examples of games.great commentary!

[@BedlamPR]

i enjoy this series very much; i appreciate how quickly you're pumping these videos out

[@NoName-fw8me]

Suggestion: 1) Worst matchups + illustrating game 2) Higher ranked opponents 3) Mulligan against different classes

[@jnZaneHD]

No Name these are high rank opponents. this was recorded at the start of the new season meaning all previous legend players were around that rank

[@MrTeamyoloswek]

jnZaneHD and all lower ranks are at that rank

[@jnZaneHD]

harigekabouter lower ranks start at a lower rank. obviously you can still get to the start rank of legend players by playing a bunch early on but it is common knowledge that most dont even play at the start of the season because the skill level is too high with all the legend players are around.

[@highsoflyify]

jnZaneHD Freeze Mage and Paladin didn´t Play like Legends, Patron didn´t even get the chance to play ^^

[@superlouis3333]

No Name It's a series for new player, I don't think playing against really good players matter that much, at some point if they want to really improve they have to do some work by themselves and experiment. That's how you learn how to play against certain decks and adapt your deck to certain metas.

[@AleisterCl]

Holy crap that end screen where all the decks was shown was amazing its so nicely laid out DAYM nc work jens really nc

[@davidnichol9817]

Thank you for this Trump! For some reason I struggled to understand tempo decks and how they worked but with this I understand it better, thank you! :)

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

I bet when Trump gets around to showing us Face Hunter, it'll be a 2 second clip of him simply saying "Just hit the face... Easy game" and that's it.

[@infiddle_8810]

Gotta thank you man. I struggled too much last time I tried to pick up this game. After discovering these tip play list I can actually hold my own (against other noobs lol).. But thanks man I've always loved the idea of this game.. Live the fact that I can enjoy playing now.

[@DemonHawk7]

I've been playing my own tempo deck, and it's all about timing and trolling in a beautiful combination.

[@P_Rodd]

Love this series of videos, the stream of consciousness is very helpful! Thank you Trump

[@olebrules]

This series is really great! Ideal for a casual player who's been playing for a while :)

[@jonathanroberson122]

Damn Trump. You were almost dead on with how much damage the Mana Wyrm would do in the first game

[@nickcastle7486]

Thanks for making these guides Trump they really help me out.

[@Ricochet1665]

Malygos makes every deck fun, not necessarily good. 9 damage snipe, 8 arcane missiles, 11 avenging wraths, 9 damage and 6 aoe swipe, the possibilities are endless!

[@Orcasgt22]

With Malgos you can Pyro Blast the face and +2 spell damage Flamestrike the board using swipe lol

[@thewafflefriends]

6:00 prison trump, where u at?

[@NikiliteGamer]

13:26 right here

[@frontier7430]

thewafflefriends Didn't you hear? in one of Trump's latest streams he admitted that HE was in fact Prison Trump. Who could have known? He covered up his tracks well.

[@nathansauveur6704]

I would like to see a card that has a card effect like this " While this minion is on the board ,all spells must be targetted on it."

[@pheonox7197]

yeah and we could call it spell taunt

[@sarubian4]

Well spellbinder is pretty similar

[@nathansauveur6704]

Jimmy Xie Yeah,but that is a mage only card, and I would like a neutral minions with that effect.

[@bindair_dundat]

Nathan Sauveur And that same minion should also summon 2 Boombots and be spell immune. And of course, have less than 7 attack. Maybe even a reincarnate deathrattle. :D

[@silvsilvsilv]

Nathan Sauveur I guarantee that will be printed one day.

[@Frankyroflz]

6:00 the police is searching prison trump

[@dustinkristenjohnson6433]

These videos are great, thanks for all the effort you put into them.

[@RaymondCorney]

Thank you for making these videos. They really help me to be a better hearthstone player.

[@BaconGale]

Bonus clips i see

[@DanoLefourbe]

Really great video series. It reminds me of Day[9] when he used to teach us how to "be a better gamer". You might be an even better teacher, in fact.

[@dillonlayton1399]

I miss Day9....

[@timkingiooo]

from this video i realized that the art on the mana wyrm card is actually a screenshot from the WOW burning crusade trailer

[@theStonerKid69]

"There are a lot of ways to play this deck." Yeah I'd have to agree. I have a version that doesn't run anything bigger than the Azure Drakes, but makes up for it by skimping out on those (mostly) garbage 1 mana cost creatures, throwing out the mirror image, adding more card draw with creatures like Loot Hoarders and Thalnos, and adding in Arcane Explosions for some crazy super tempo synergy blasting with Thalnos and Flamewakers. Won't lie, fatigued a few times with my deck. But I literally got to turn 11 versus a face hunter and still had more than 20 health because he couldn't ever get board control and I doled out way too much pressure for him to ever attack my face with confidence. If that's not tempo, then I don't know what is. Edit: Because I know you KZbin commenters so well, I know you're going to say, "Did you not watch the first match? That 'garbage 1 drop' did 19 damage in a single game!" Yes, I did see that, just like I saw the very next words that came out of Trump's mouth when the next match started were, "Now that we've seen the absolutely insane opening..." Those kinds of matches are rare, and it's even rarer to get that much work out of that start, since decks now a days are working harder to be even more anti-aggro.

[@remyllebeau77]

theStonerKid69 "synergy blasting with " With what? What happened to your comment?

[@LeagueClips1101]

Why is face hunter trying to get board control?

[@theStonerKid69]

zeta7 Because I was getting out so much more stuff than he was, it would've been suicide for him to have not. He also didn't have the best start tbh; passed turn 1, haunted creeper turn 2.

[@VitaminDGaming]

That first game was complete destruction. lol Side note: I'm excited that Trump has moved on to the Intermediate Teachings. I'm excited to see, once he's covered all these intermediate decks, what he'll cover for his Advanced Teachings. Super complex decks? Like, Patron Warrior? Or, maybe... Oil Rogue? Or maybe he'll cover even more advanced concepts of play in general. It'll be exciting to see, that's for sure.

[@Classic--]

whould be nice to see the game between the first and the secound one , wich trump ( propably) lost. It is important to show the weakness of decks as well ^^ but beside this, it is nice too see deck explenation videos by trump :)

[@CAPNCOCKPUNCH]

Trump is by far one of my favorite pro players, he's seriously done a lot for the community, and new players with these videos.

[@mangirabaul4224]

Awesome vid trump. Great explanation

[@zacheryfloyd4814]

At the end of the warrior match I really wanted him to play unstable portal. And because he did this page has one more like.

[@Grokarr]

As the various decklists called "Tempo Mage" vary widely you have to find the one you like, using archmage is often a liabilty to save a spell, right now i prefer 2 mirror Images and using ragnaros, as well i strongly recommend 1 counterspell. but thats just personal Preference.

[@sean2210]

So let's discuss 12:30 a little bit. This week I went on an 18 game win streak with this deck, and I've found that in most cases the win condition against slower decks is big Antonidas plays. Dropping him naked here is risky if not bad, because he could have drawn removal with divine favor. If Ant. Was silenced here, Trump would insta-lose, bc he was out of fuel and paladin probably heals. Ya it worked out here, but to me it seemed like it was a 50/50 for the win whereas guaranteeing a combo is always a win. Would like to hear your thoughts on this Trump, thanks

[@Sniperfuchs]

Sean Dartshart Risky, not really bad imo. The only way he could remove Antonidas would be Truesilver + 3 damage, which would be uncommon, or Equality + Consecrate/Pyro and the chance isn't that high. He might not even have it in the deck since he put a lot of other stuff in it, so I actually think the risk was very small.

[@sean2210]

As I said it worked out here, most likely because the opponents deck was not a standard meta deck it could not handle regardless. Statistically this game would be an outlier, because it's probably someone trying out some gimmick. Standard paladin would have owls, or went with Eq/juggler/ muster combo. By my count Trump would have guaranteed lethal one turn later even if it was a standard deck. This is worth noting, since teaching is the focus of his videos.

[@ArafuraMusic]

Sean Dartshart He did mention it before he plays Antonidas, so - I presume people will take him up on his word that playing him naked there would normally be incorrect / suboptimal.

[@ironmaidenfan6666]

Sean Dartshart I have absolutely no problem with that play Trump did and for the same reason he stated in his video. It is extremely hard for paladin to deal with a single big minion, the usual answer (aldor) would do nothing against archmage. The Pally just played an equality, drawing the other one and combining it with a weapon was pretty much is only chance. Sometimes pally runs a owl, sometimes not, an owl plus aldor was another answer. But the pally had two cards left before the divine favor, he basically would have needed to draw into a combo with a two card draw, highly unlikely, Trump play was fine and showed a good understanding of how bad the pally is to deal with a single big threat.

[@superlouis3333]

Sean Dartshart You have to take risks at some time if you want to win, playing safe is not always the best play and he said it himself that paladin doesn't have a lot of ways to remove antonidas.

[@Elratauru]

Well... This type of deck got me into Rank 13 this morning... so, hell yes Tempo Mage :D

[@DerLohse]

I run 2 Kezan Mystics in my Tempo Mage Deck which VERY often seem to be game changers for me

[@chivalrousghost886]

These are awesome Trump keep it up

[@Blak4dr]

awesome job once again. Thank you!

[@MrBleand]

Another nice class with trump :D Like !

[@ThePigKnight]

For MTG players, Tempo Mage is like a UR Delver deck.

[@MotoDaniels]

Yeah

[@weeaboobarko]

ThePigKnight I'd say it's more like grixis seeing as it has lategame in the form of antonidas, but then again grixis can play tasigur and gurmag angler early. But yeah pretty good comparison.

[@mik123184]

ThePigKnight Yeah and Flamewaker is like the Young Pyro and Mana Wyrm is Monastery Swiftspear.

[@Ghandifloss]

In legacy? Because come on, ever since we got cruise bannings the deck is bad ngl

[@stev019]

mik123184 Sort of. Swiftspear only keeps it for the turn.

[@ivangushkov3651]

I play a heavily customized deck (meaning i netdecked a deck and changed a lot) and its basically a spare part mage. Early game you control with spells and a lot of mechs. In the early game you end up gathering a lot of spare parts and by the time you have antonidas, you have 2-3 remaining from the early-midgame struggle for board. They rage quit a lot. I love the flow of the deck and just how effective it is in the meta right now. Spare part mage sounds cheesy but it works well...

[@Eggolas]

I'd like to see an Overload Shaman deck, I've been seeing them around a fair bit since Blackrock.

[@Niitori]

Welcome to the pre 301 club. We haz cookies.

[@kjw-2104]

Replacement ideas for Toshley?

[@luckytheabsol9279]

Thausasain.

[@luckytheabsol9279]

Whatever the heck you spell the emperor.

[@ZeHomieKnight]

Kieran White mech yeti

[@kjw-2104]

I just call him Emporer Tarzan, and yeah, seems good enough, probably the best 6 drop in the game

[@NightKnight1996]

Kieran White Sylvanas is another good option to swap to.

[@betoski]

Need to make this deck. Looks like a lot of fun

[@nicholassancilio9360]

my only question is why no bloodmage thalnos in tempo mage, you get cycle to try to not empty your hand, and you get spell power to clear 3-6 hp drops with flamecannon/frostbolt/ping/arcane blast

[@Emsarrev]

Just a headsup, he mentions a win by portal at the end of the regular video, but that doesn't happen until the bonus clips.

[@niccisherwood1550]

Awesome vids, you are an amazing teaher, thanks :D I don't currently have an Antonides so ive substituted him for Rhonin, is there a better card I could use, He has won me a couple of games tho. Also replacing arcane missiles with explosion really helps against the numerous paladins these days and some other match ups :D

[@unixtreme]

You mispelled flamewanker.

[@quizzer]

Trump, do you have any plans to release these videos as a video podcast? I would love to watch your videos on my commute without internet access.

[@ApoMelon]

replacement ideas for Toshley, Dr. Boom, and Archmage Antonidas? poor newbie here

[@samtran3473]

Al O. Im assuming you have basic cards. Just pick bulky cards to replace them. Suggestion: Water Ele, Yeti, Frost Wolf Warlord, Boulder Fist Ogre, and Flamestrike As you proceed into more card choices: Belcher, Piloted Sky Golem, Sylvanna, Sneed,...

[@schmiry]

Al O. Antonidas is a core card in this deck, its one of your win conditions. I suggest you go for a Hunter face deck instead if you are lacking these cards for the Tempo mage.

[@mischatietema9704]

***** no please not more facefuckers

[@cdw8493]

Mischa Tietema trump is doing a teaching of face hunter .... Although there's not much to learn apart from the deck card..... All you do I hit for the face lol.... THE FACE HUNTERS SHALL LIVE FOREVER!!!!

[@mischatietema9704]

/

[@hammypie]

LOL @ the squirrel in the end

[@tozaisusovac6842]

Am I the only one watching these videos in 2017 just to see how the games played out 2 years back and also to see the meta that was present at the time?

[@ihateweebs5761]

Josip Mikic heh me too

[@HaloBalla]

What would be a good replacement for Archmage Antonidas? He's the only one I don't have of this deck list. :( Would Malygos be decent?

[@donfigueroa903]

Love your vid Trump. thank you. i learned a lot from this. u earned a sub and a like :-D

[@SirLuis_]

Trump how do you record HS do you use a capture card or a screen record software?

[@Gorenghal]

Double Antonidas today thanks to my opponent playing Faceless onto a Mirror Entity. I think I went thru two dozen Fireballs and ended the game with eight in my hand. (My opponent was a Freeze Mage and had Ice Block on the board early. Endless Fireballs is good board control.)

[@andydong2419]

For a little wyrm, I pack a BIG punch!

[@notcreative7309]

Tempo mage looks terrifying

[@AnimeReference]

At 12:19 don't you threaten lethal (in hand) by time rewinding the manaworm?

[@Cazolim]

I don't have any legendaries (but I do have the flamewaker). What do you suggest to put there instead of them? Like, I have all the naxx/blackrock content, it includes some legendaries, not these ones, though. Kel'Thuzad? Emperor? Nefarian? Chromaggus?

[@samtran3473]

Cazolim Mech Yeti, Water Ele, Belcher, Shredder, Loatheb, Sky Golem, Flamestrike, Boulder Fist Ogre, Sylvanna Ragnaros, Ysera

[@HanyouDark]

Hey, thanks a lot for this video, it helped me quite a bit. I don't have the legendarys or the cards from Naxx or Flamewaker, but i put in the goblin Mage and Water elemental + archmage in it. At first i went right to lvl 18, but then just kept losing to lvl 20 zero stars. Is there any chance you can get higher levels without any legendarys? It's quite frustrating

[@Maren617]

That's super frustrating! You can make a cheap hunter deck without legendaries that can take you farther. Mage and Warrior are very dependant on legendaries to work well.

[@HanyouDark]

i have now found a cheap mech mage deck wich brings me to rang 16 so far, pretty stable. will look into the hunter deck maybe

[@Maren617]

mech mage is awesome too, but even better with antonidas. but now with the new expansion anything could happen, we'll see what the best decks will be

[@PuraVidaOfficial]

Killer job , kepp it up

[@maz0t]

Opening with subs: In this installment of crime TJ`s we look at that tempo manage...

[@k-master973]

What cards do you put in the deck if you don't have Flamewaker or Legendaries?

[@luckytheabsol9279]

Then it can't work. Flame water is the main reason this survives the meta decks.

[@Diocuddles]

Lucky the absol Of course it can work, before Flamewaker the deck already existed and was fine. Flamewaker just improved it...I would probably put in Kirin Tor Mages and duplicate/counterspell. (Flamewakers can in fact screw you over simply because of the rng element.)

[@luckytheabsol9279]

I guess, but it was a lot weaker before. Just my opinion.

[@Diocuddles]

Lucky the absol Tempo Mage decks already exists without Flamewaker, don't answer questions if you don't know the answer. Losing the legendaries are a bigger loss imo it makes you significantly weaker if it goes to the lategame.

[@k-master973]

Im starting out compared to other players and i'm on a budget so i try to use what i can

[@Musicplayer9999]

thanks for the deck trump :D

[@WhyLouis]

Hey Trump I'm a big fan of yours! Your videos are inspirational and very educational. My game play has definitely improved since I started watching your videos. I've recently started making videos on Hearthstone and it would be great if you can provide me with some feedback on what I could improve on. Thanks for your videos and keep up the good work!!

[@anahenriquez6714]

Trump you should also do wild teaching, I love wild I think it more entertaining than standard.

[@danieleros9325]

Replace Toshley for a Ronnin is a good idea?

[@Maren617]

Many experts say he's too slow for this meta. Better to just put more cheap spells (e.g. Arcane Blast) in your deck.

[@bonquva]

what can i add instead of archmage and toshley?

[@nwgverified]

I feel the deck is better with Water elemental its hard to decide as water elemental is really good value Cons-Less synergy with mech minions,Shredder has deathrattle spawn another minion pros-Good with ice lance and if it hits the face freezes weapons for a turn good especially against things like death bite

[@coffee7882]

That wyrm one first game :D

[@De4dlyDot]

hmmm don't u think counterspell instead of second mirror and maybe 1 azure 1 loatheb would be kinda better?

[@Unforgiven215]

12:30, wouldn't it for sure to be better to rewind your nana wyrm and then replay it? I thought that was a huge missplay.

[@AVelociraptor]

I have my own Mage deck that runs Emperor and some other different cards due to lack of some of these cards.

[@OmneAurumNon]

That was a pretty interesting antiaggro pally deck

[@HeadCap]

hmm. if you timerewinded the mana wurm at 12:30 you would've had lethal in spells for next turn, so either he deals with the archmage and dies, or he heals and lets the archmage live. Or maybe he does both. Well i made this comment before loatheb lol.

[@GeometryDashDrSpark]

Any good replacements for Flamewakers? I don't have Blackrock Mountain, but I do have Naxxramas. I'm thinking 1 Sludge Belcher and 1 Loatheb in place for the 2 Firewakers?

[@gabrielsyriani5227]

Not at all.

[@vastogod7880]

I know this is late but flamewakers are the heart of this deck. You can't replace them.

[@erbetgamer]

Is pyro a good replacement for boom,i mean,the objective of the deck becomes dealing 20 damage..

[@JaziB]

How is the Gold Cost calculated?

[@bayard56]

Someone answer this!

[@TheJokrProductions]

JaziB I believe he counts the gold as the cost to enter the Raids. 700 per wing to get to the cards required for each deck.

[@khufure]

JaziB most easily using a tool like hearthpwn

[@americanexistentialist4756]

JaziB cards from 8 adventure wings out of 10 available, 700 gold to enter each wing = 5600 gold.

[@volleygi8038]

Is Ancient Watcher + Cog Hammer a thing? I would have expected a turn 4 Spellbreaker, but this strategy seems valid.

[@jaywasd]

Volleygi That was the first time I've seen it!

[@superlouis3333]

Volleygi I've seen an ancient watcher paladin that hit high legend on hearthpwn, very uncommon deck though.

[@rigabae]

How does he calculate the amount of gold the deck costs?

[@djordjemirkovic8026]

Yeah i was wondering too??

[@psychonauttom1295]

Some cards are from the different wings, so you'll have to unlock them to include certain cards

[@SuperDurjan]

Thats the amount of gold you have to invest in naxx and brm to get those cards

[@TWDaryl]

Rigbyxx Smite To say it more clearly, some cards are *only* available through adventures purchased with Gold or IRL money. Meaning they cannot be crafted or gained by opening packs.

[@noastrocookie]

Dylan Cooper well... you only need to play 2 wings to get flamewaker and mad scientist

[@Possesed_Toribash]

Teach us Handlock oh great trumplock

[@andydong2419]

4:42 What? What's that card? (Trump's explanation)

[@sme11ywom]

Replacements for Archmage and Dr. Boom if I don't have these cards?

[@gizanime782]

Is a secretless tempo mage deck just as good? Like i looked up and made a tempo mage variation with no secrets and its not bad but Im not sure at higher ladder ranks if it will still be good.

[@Darmanitor]

I don't have Toshley.Which card could I put in instead?

[@darkpaladinboy8911]

Im VERY new to hearthstone and have gotten my mage to lv 15. I am rly enjoying its playsyle. Where can I get the cards to build thsi deck? Just buy packs?

[@DeadMetal89]

+Hi Its Fizz Some of the cards like flamewaker you get if you play blackrock mountain. The others you'll get in packs

[@samuelkim8675]

Any Mage decks that include Echo of Medivh and Pyroblast?

[@koshi6505]

Anyone slightly disappointed he didn't play around Eye for an Eye?

[@andydong2419]

Echo of Medivh works pretty well.

[@blueskin1978]

0:01 Crump teachings...?

[@ikbeckly385]

What can be an adequate replacement for Antonidas?

[@PepperPlay5]

6:56 ...yeah I think this is 200 IQ move

[@patrikholic5917]

What if I don't have Toshley and Antonidas? What can I give there instead this 2 cards?

[@solin21210]

Why is there in the description only Malygos? What class does he mean?

[@YamiAi]

Milkeon The Cute Warlock, most likely.

[@silvsilvsilv]

Milkeon The Cute Malygos is the new class that will be announced the 22nd.

[@flowdugie399]

Probably Malygos Warlock

[@matiedavie]

Milkeon The Cute The full name of the deck is Malygoslock (or sometimes people call it dragonlock), it's a warlock deck based around dragon synergy with malygos and some damage spells to finish off your opponent

[@solin21210]

David Too bad it's not Malygos Hunter :,( r.i.p. dreams about changing the meta

[@FELCommentary]

How do I beat Tempo Mage as Midrange Paladin? I try rushing her down before late game, but since so many of them run Antique Healbot and Fun Barrier, she has way too much health. Then she plays Archmage and instantly wins the game.

[@jeremyformerlyknownastoken8218]

Nice video!

[@stefan7848]

why flameweaker and mad scientist dosnt existnin crafting section?

[@ruben151099]

This deck really needed an explanation, but imo face hunter is harder, frump pls do a guide about it I need it so bad Kappa

[@maci1878]

Can You replace Flamewaker?

[@iateyourfedora7214]

probably not
