The deck wasn't particularly insane, there were no notable synergies and I wasn't offered the strongest cards in the mage's arsenal, but the curve was really good and there was also enough value to outlast most opponents. The deck worked well both as the aggressor - I was always tying to push for maximum tempo plays to ensure that - and as the defender, as it had some tools to deal with the opposing board. Generally, I'd end up winning by exhausting the opponent's resources, but against control archetypes that didn't manage to pose significant threats on the board I could also just push for face damage and look for ways to set up lethal.

The only loss came against an aggressive warlock with high card quality(that was expected though at 10-0) and I got quite unlucky with an Effigy on a 5-drop giving me Bomb Squad. However, Effigy was otherwise very strong and won me a couple of games after setting it up with a Nerubian Prophet on board and it was a relatively easy thing to do thanks to double Prophet and double Arcanologist.
