Here’s how to make no minions work.

No Minion Spell Mage is an interesting one. As the name suggests, it’s a deck whose main goal is to take advantage of the Mage class’ new ‘no-minion’ synergies to gain long-term value and a ludicrous number of spells.No Minion Spell Mage deck list and strategyHere’s the No Minion Spell Mage deck we’ll be using for the Darkmoon Faire expansion.

You have a massive amount of spells which are able to generate even more spells, letting you string together a great deal of effects each turn. Of course, you rely pretty heavily on lucky pulls from your spells, but we’re absolutely loving the potential randomness.Early game:This deck is all about tempo, and taking advantage of your sweet highrolls when they arrive.Your early spells will be all about survival if necessary.Font of Poweris a fantastic way to get on board early, particularly with cards such asLab PartnerandImprisoned Phoenixto buff your spells with Spell Damage. One thing to look out for isAstromancer Solarian. It’s a brilliant card with an amazing payoff, but remember that shuffling Solarian Prime into your deck will turn off yourApexis Blast’s ability to summon a 5-cost minion.Of course, your games can go completely off the rails when you castDeck of Lunacyearly, which is always a fun (and usually powerful) way to play.Mid game:Hopefully you’ve discounted your cards a little bit with Incanter’s Flow, and your card draw engine should be in full swing.Refreshing Spring Wateralmost always offers you two cards for zero mana, andCram Sessioncan become ridiculous with a Spell Damage minion or two.You should have more than enough fuel to keep things ticking over at this point - don’t be afraid to hit them hard with removal such asRolling FireballandApexis Blast. Freeze effects likeBrain Freezecan stall your opponent out until your late-game power plays too.Late game:As a final gambit,C’Thun, the Shatteredcan be a game-winner. Casting all four parts of C’thun will shuffle the old god into your deck, and its Battlecry deals 30 damage split between all enemies - often enough to finish them off altogether. Of course, remember that if you castDeck of Lunacyyou won’t be able to finish your C’thun, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to smash your enemies with random spells.More great Mage guides:1.

General strategy

No Minion Spell Mage is a value-oriented deck at heart. You have a massive amount of spells which are able to generate even more spells, letting you string together a great deal of effects each turn. Of course, you rely pretty heavily on lucky pulls from your spells, but we’re absolutely loving the potential randomness.

Early game:This deck is all about tempo, and taking advantage of your sweet highrolls when they arrive.

Your early spells will be all about survival if necessary.Font of Poweris a fantastic way to get on board early, particularly with cards such asLab PartnerandImprisoned Phoenixto buff your spells with Spell Damage. One thing to look out for isAstromancer Solarian. It’s a brilliant card with an amazing payoff, but remember that shuffling Solarian Prime into your deck will turn off yourApexis Blast’s ability to summon a 5-cost minion.

Of course, your games can go completely off the rails when you castDeck of Lunacyearly, which is always a fun (and usually powerful) way to play.

Mid game:Hopefully you’ve discounted your cards a little bit with Incanter’s Flow, and your card draw engine should be in full swing.Refreshing Spring Wateralmost always offers you two cards for zero mana, andCram Sessioncan become ridiculous with a Spell Damage minion or two.

You should have more than enough fuel to keep things ticking over at this point - don’t be afraid to hit them hard with removal such asRolling FireballandApexis Blast. Freeze effects likeBrain Freezecan stall your opponent out until your late-game power plays too.

Late game:As a final gambit,C’Thun, the Shatteredcan be a game-winner. Casting all four parts of C’thun will shuffle the old god into your deck, and its Battlecry deals 30 damage split between all enemies - often enough to finish them off altogether. Of course, remember that if you castDeck of Lunacyyou won’t be able to finish your C’thun, so keep that in mind if you’re looking to smash your enemies with random spells.
