Tempo Elemental

Who needs spells when you have a whole tribe of elemental minions at your beck and call?

This is a somewhat-aggressive midrange deck that focuses on gaining an early lead on the board with high-value minions like Mana Wyrm and Coldwraith, and then using powerful spells and freeze effects to maintain that lead.  Once you get to the 7-mana mark, you can start dropping Blazecaller and Bonemare to hit your opponent hard in an effort to close out the game.  

Note that this is a very different strategy than the typical elemental control mage decks.  Elise the Trailblazer and Frost Lich Jaina help provide late-game value in control matchups, but ideally you’ll be able to tempo your opponent out early without having to resort to these.

Stonehill Defender and Servant of Kalimos both help to keep your hand full of minions in order to keep your tempo going.  They’re also good for grabbing low-cost minions that can easily be buffed by Bonemare.

If you want to play something from the usual Mage decklists, give this a try!
