Fiddled around top 50 legend with an updated big spell mage on stream today! Does pretty well overall, matchups similar to control warlock but feels like warlock just does a better job for what this does atm
I can't beat cubelock with this deck. Tips? Or just a bad match up?
keep your sheeps for doomguards thats the big threat voidlords are ok, if you dont draw Jaina too late and if he doesnt have a crazy start with the weapon and cubes you should win at fatigue ;) geist is a good card too
Bad question but: Is this deck able to win without Dragoncaller Alanna? Cuz I don't have it and I don't want to craft it. Thx for opinions guys.
I think she is one of the main reasons to play Big Spell Mage...
It's not a dumb question. It's not absolutely necessary, but it's one of the main swing cards in your deck. If you had to replace her, choose a card that'll help with your most frequent/worst match-ups.
Do that, play a few games, and ask yourself, "If this card was Alanna, would it have helped the game?" or "What do I really want this card to be?"
Replace Alanna with Pyro, as Pyro opens up an Alex -> Pyro win condition
What about Cabalist's Tome, if I'm missing Dragon's Fury?
Dragon's Fury is core to the deck
Whoah!! Just played my first game and it was awesome, thank you :)
Hard to replace but I'd say Lich king for value / taunt
I put a pyroblast in place of frost lich because don't have. Good?
I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I'm not having the same success so far. I've been playing mage for ages so I'm not a total noob but I'm struggling heavily against anything aggro.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
As in which cards you tend to play on curve and which ones you tend to hold off on. When is the best time to use artificer and how do you normally deal with aggro since pretty much most of the aoe in the deck is 5 and up.
Any tips and tricks really :D
Thank you so much that really did help a lot! :D
Hard Mulligan for Doomsayers and Tar Creepers. You could also switch the rats with 2 Crawlers. I actually keep Dragons Fury in my starting Hand vs Rogue, Paladin, Hunter and Shaman (Shaman in 2k18 LUL) if i have the coin.
This is the ONLY mage deck (I have tried tempo-secret mage, exodia with fireballs and with giants) that's viable for me right now. I'm at a 60%-ish winrate myself on ranks 15-12 which I've been stuck at for a while. Would be playing warlock or priest myself but I'm so close to golden Mage!
Can you replace Medivh, the Guardian?
Spiteful Summoner Corridor Creeper - Way less value though
Pyroblast may be interesting
There are some Control Variants that don't even run Alana, may be worth a try
Is this deck any better than the ones played by gaara? Im not sure if I want to craft 2 rats...
