      Hey guys. I'm currently using the following kind of Mage deck:

      2x leper gnome
      2x argent squire
      2x loot hoarder
      2x knife juggler
      2x raid leader
      2x harvest golem
      2x shattered sun cleric
      2x ice barrier
      2x fireball
      2x yeti
      2x water elemental
      2x defender of argus
      2x squire attend me ready sir
      2x argent commander
      2x flamestrike

      I'm not sure this is an ideal mix really, but I do feel like the bot is doing OK. My win rate was 41% over 80 games this morning (still experimenting), and I did start at rank 14 so it was probably better in the 19-18 range where I was at the end.

      Are there any possible improvements I could make to this deck? One thing that has somewhat impressed me is that the bot uses fireball and flamestrike pretty intelligently. It'll use fireball for lethal and flamestrike on 2+ minions but never only one.

      Thanks for any advice! :)

      I am not a huge fan of loot hoarders in bot decks because they are generally used to cycle through your deck to find combo cards. Seeing as though the bot doesn't use combos, I find it loses a lot of its value.

      I would probably replace them with oozes

      This deck runs around 60-64% win rate on casual. It has even had 8 wins in a row once. It does have some bad days, but I've leveled with it to level 36 or 38 with over a 50% win rate over 80 games per session. I didn't run it much on ranked though - I think it did a little worse there. It has never had a 40% win rate though - so you can expect much better than what you're getting. Feel free to take out 1 arcane missles and put in a flamestrike - I've done that on occasion.

      If you manually pilot this deck on casual, you're going to kill it. It is very good.
