Plays the same as burn mage I linked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/1tcox1k/dont_sleep_on_burn_mage/

(Mulligan for minions to play on curve, use your arcane bombs to clear and chip damage + play spellweaver's brilliance) except you have boosted bursting leyline for huge damage add+board clear or finisher and leyline nexus for explosive draw and big endgame turns to close out.

Diamond 9 to Legend 22-3 with Burn Mage after Leylines sadly proved entirely unplayable.

### burn

Mulligan for minions, get discovers or direct damage via Winterspring Whelp, drop Kalec ASAP, bomb boards while going face with Arcane Flow/Barrage then use Spellweaver's Brilliance, stretch to finish with Fireball or Vulcanos, drop and ping Time-Twisted Seer to close out with whatever you have left in hand late game.

TBH I'm surprised more folks aren't playing Burn Mage (0.5% popularity on HS Guru) because the only truly bad matchup right now is against DH which was one of my losses - other two were against high rolls from a quest mage and a bubble pally.

Token druid is a bit scary and a race but this archetype farms hunters and rogues which are very overplayed RN (your meta may vary).

Also I know data says Warrior is a bad matchup but IDK feels like there might be some pilot error there, I played 3 games against dragon warrior, 1 against egg, 1 against herald and won all of them handily.

Buff leylines though please Blizzard, thanks.
