Strategy

Archmage Antonidas relies heavily on his ability to turn spells into fireballs, which makes him a prime target for silences and hard removal such as Hex. Therefore, to make the most out of this card it`s best saved until later turns where you can combine it with one or more cheap spells, creating fireballs before your opponent can remove it. Another strategy is to place Spellbender and Counterspell secrets to protect the Archmage from spell based removal or to combine him with Frost Nova to protect him from your opponent`s minions. When going second, consider saving The Coin to combo it with Archmage Antonidas later on. It counts as a spell and makes playing other cards on the same turn easier, often netting you 2 Fireballs. But the most effective strategy is use Finicky Cloakfield in combination, which would almost assure the Achmage`s survival to next round.

Metagame:

As of the current Patch 1.0.0.4944, Archmage Antonidas isn`t considered a very strong competitive card. With the increased cost of Mage`s burn spell Pyroblast and their stall cards Frost Nova, Cone of Cold and Blizzard, general consensus is that Mage burn decks are too slow to compete in the current aggressive metagame.
