However, with the addition of Ashes of OutlandBasicBlackrock MountainClassicHero SkinsNaxxramasDemon Hunter InitiateDescent of DragonsFestival of LegendsForged in the BarrensFractured in Alterac ValleyGalakrond's AwakeningGoblins vs GnomesLegacyLegacyJourney to Un'GoroKnights of the Frozen ThroneKobolds & CatacombsThe League of ExplorersMadness at the Darkmoon FaireMarch of the Lich KingMean Streets of GadgetzanMercenariesMurder at Castle NathriaOne Night in KarazhanPath of ArthasRastakhan's RumblePromoRise of ShadowsSaviors of UldumScholomance AcademyThe Boomsday ProjectThe Grand TournamentThe WitchwoodTITANSUnited in StormwindVoyage to the Sunken CityWhispers of the Old GodsCoreAluneth, Tempo Mage returned to the forefront, often hybridizing with Secret Mage.

The deck archetype made a return in the Year of the Raven in the absence of Secret Mage, this time utilizing more low-cost burn spells with Ashes of OutlandBasicBlackrock MountainClassicHero SkinsNaxxramasDemon Hunter InitiateDescent of DragonsFestival of LegendsForged in the BarrensFractured in Alterac ValleyGalakrond's AwakeningGoblins vs GnomesLegacyLegacyJourney to Un'GoroKnights of the Frozen ThroneKobolds & CatacombsThe League of ExplorersMadness at the Darkmoon FaireMarch of the Lich KingMean Streets of GadgetzanMercenariesMurder at Castle NathriaOne Night in KarazhanPath of ArthasRastakhan's RumblePromoRise of ShadowsSaviors of UldumScholomance AcademyThe Boomsday ProjectThe Grand TournamentThe WitchwoodTITANSUnited in StormwindVoyage to the Sunken CityWhispers of the Old GodsCoreVex Crow for board tempo. This was around the time when the line between Tempo and Aggro Mage was blurred. The version of Tempo Mage in The Boomsday Project uses bonus Spell Damage to increase the efficiency of their burn spells.

Tempo Mage in the Year of the Dragon experienced a shift in playstyle involving spamming cheap spells while maintaining a large amount of value with Ashes of OutlandBasicBlackrock MountainClassicHero SkinsNaxxramasDemon Hunter InitiateDescent of DragonsFestival of LegendsForged in the BarrensFractured in Alterac ValleyGalakrond's AwakeningGoblins vs GnomesLegacyLegacyJourney to Un'GoroKnights of the Frozen ThroneKobolds & CatacombsThe League of ExplorersMadness at the Darkmoon FaireMarch of the Lich KingMean Streets of GadgetzanMercenariesMurder at Castle NathriaOne Night in KarazhanPath of ArthasRastakhan's RumblePromoRise of ShadowsSaviors of UldumScholomance AcademyThe Boomsday ProjectThe Grand TournamentThe WitchwoodTITANSUnited in StormwindVoyage to the Sunken CityWhispers of the Old GodsCoreMana Cyclone. This version of Tempo Mage is sometimes referred to as Cyclone Mage. Some versions of Cyclone Mage hybridize with Conjurer Mage.
