Keeping up with the Jones' [closed]

Until the recent TGT expansion, I had been doing reasonably well with a mage deck I created myself. Since the expansion, I am have around a 50/50 win loss ratio, which is terrible.

What changes should I make to my deck to continue being a rush-style deck, but still be able to combat the newer cards?

Putting in Dr. Boom seemed to help me if I got in to a medium length match, but I would rather have it over and done with by that point.

I don't mind dusting, but I can't afford all the Legendary cards.

I have too many cards to list, so I'll check my collection as people make suggestions.

Things to note:

Completed BRM
Opened a large number of packs (all expansions)
Have all basic cards

It looks like a fairly standard mech mage aggro list, except you're only running one copy of a lot of key cards and are running several that simply don't work in this deck. Putting in random cards because they seem like a good idea only makes your deck less reliable.

You're aiming for something like this deck, though it is from pre-BRM so you have more options now, such as flamewaker.

Remove the following cards:

Arcane Intellect- you're trying to play a fast aggro deck. Wasting an entire turn drawing cards slows you down and gives your opponent a chance to take control of the board or brings them one turn closer to summoning something you can't deal with.
Vaporize and Mirror Entity- they're expensive and don't have an immediate effect. Duplicate and Mirror entity can be worth running, but only with Mad Scientist to get them into play for free.
Knife Juggler- While he's an amazing card in Zoolock, Hunter, or Paladin, Mage doesn't have any way to summon multiple minions with a single card. He's also competing for slots with the other two mana mechs- that juggler could be an annoy-o-tron or another micro machine.

With the space you now have, add a second copy of any of the cheaper mechs. Annoy-o-trons or clockwork gnomes are also effective. Harvest golem is also a strong card because it is a mech that is very difficult to remove.
