This list looks like you haven’t decided whether to try for control or for tempo/burn. Overall, with the actual fire spells that are available, I’d suggest moving more in the tempo/burn direction.

In particular, your list seems to have too many pure removal spells. Two copies each of Combustion, Fire Sale and Flame Strike just seems like overkill, especially when you’re not building towards a big Control-style finish like N’Zoth or an OTK-type finish. Also, Flame Strike doesn’t work well with Chandler, since you probably want to maximize your draws.

Further, I’d suggest only running a single copy of Ignite. That way it scales faster and dilutes your draws less when the copies get shuffled in. You don’t have the level of draw that a Questline Mage deck had, so not slowing your draws down is much more important.

As for what to add, I’d suggest adding in more spell damage minions and a second copy of Studies. I’d also probably replace Refreshing Spring Water with Cram Session and maybe even AI.

You might also consider adding Shivering Sorceress for a strong early tempo minion and/or Amplified Snowflurries to go with the Wildfire package you have in your deck.

That being said, I tried building a Fire Mage deck a couple ways during Stormwind, and none of them really performed all that well.

One was focused on trying to use Tony’s Battlecry:

### Damage Ignition
# Class: Mage
# Format: Standard
# Year of the Gryphon
#
# 2x (0) Hot Streak
# 2x (1) First Flame
# 2x (1) Lab Partner
# 2x (1) Primordial Studies
# 2x (1) Wand Thief
# 1x (2) Bloodmage Thalnos
# 2x (2) Cram Session
# 1x (2) Ignite
# 2x (2) Prestor's Pyromancer
# 2x (2) Runed Orb
# 1x (3) Combustion
# 2x (3) Firebrand
# 1x (4) Fire Sale
# 2x (4) Fireball
# 1x (4) Guild Trader
# 1x (5) Aegwynn, the Guardian
# 1x (5) Ras Frostwhisper
# 2x (5) Sanctum Chandler
# 1x (8) Grand Magus Antonidas

The other major route I tried was incorporating Wildfire into a tempo-Fire list:

### Wildfire Chandler
# Class: Mage
# Format: Standard
# Year of the Gryphon
#
# 1x (0) Hot Streak
# 2x (1) First Flame
# 2x (1) Tour Guide
# 2x (1) Wand Thief
# 2x (1) Wildfire
# 2x (2) Fallen Hero
# 1x (2) Ignite
# 2x (2) Manafeeder Panthara
# 2x (2) Runed Orb
# 2x (2) Starscryer
# 2x (2) Wandmaker
# 1x (3) Firebrand
# 1x (4) Fire Sale
# 2x (4) Fireball
# 2x (4) Reckless Apprentice
# 2x (5) Sanctum Chandler
# 1x (5) Taelan Fordring
# 1x (8) Mordresh Fire Eye

Complimenting aegaeon post, i tried similar builds through Stormwind. None really sticked. The largest sucess, by far, was using Chandler cycle for burn, but this takes a pretty tight spell build, and does not functions well against several popular builds.

Overall, right now, Fire mage hardly works aginst the meta decks.

its still alittle experimental as im trying to figure out what would work well or effectively in my way. alrdy dropped that elemental because it simply isnt doing it. right now just experimenting with firebrand and or pyromancer.

but ya the goal for the offense is pretty simple hence fire mage is to blast them with fire. but yea i think i could replace the refreshing spring with cram session.
