Has anyone tried it ? Does it work ? In the regular mirror entity mech mage.

Thinking it could take the place of the azure drake. Works well with antonidas.

Thoughts ?

Brings the rest of the deck down

How ? Mech mage often runs out of gas.

Rhonin just threatens a weaker early game. If Mech Mage doesn't hold its tempo before doing 2/3 of your life it loses.
Antonidas makes sense because of the spare parts though. Direct fireballs have huge value.

My opinion anyway.

Since mech mage is an aggro deck, the missiles can actually be good even if it hits face.

3 mana for 9 face dmgs is pretty insane.

The reason why drake is good in mech mage is because it draws a card, the spell dmgs isn't a big deal IMO.

Rhonin is a bigger body for death rattle: draw 3 cards.

and since mech mage runs out of gas.. I think it should be pretty good.

If it hits face but they'll have board control, and the 7/7 body will just die to the BGH that's been sitting in their hand for 3 turns.

I'd rather have Dr. Boom and Antonidas as your big drops

Doesn't mean they'll have board control.

If you play drake, then get your board gets whipped by some AOE, that's a lot worse than just getting your Rhonin BGH'd.

Rhonin is a pretty good card to topdeck, wouldn't you agree ?

Usually when you are in top deck mode, you don't want some shitty small creature.

Mech mage is a tempo deck, not a late game control deck.
You should be smashing the board and winning the game quickly, not waiting for turn 8-9.

Although I supposed you could try making a mid-range mech mage
Would work really well there

Already have those 2.

And drake is a card that can be replaced. That's why this thread exists. I want the opinion of the JSP cool kids.



Also by your logic, I shouldn't have Boom and Antonidas since it's a tempo deck.

Boom gives board presence and is the strongest card in the game...
Antonidas is a finisher
