Hopefully I’m writing this in the right place. I’ve played hearthstone on and off for the last 3 years now but I have only ever played Mage as I enjoy its style and don’t like swapping to fotm.
Last season I made it to Rank 5 for the first time using Big Spell deck. And hovered between 8-5 for the remainer of the season.
After some initial success with big spell and the new legendaries I found myself losing to Hunters and Big Spell Priest (which is all I seem to be facing). I went to Rank 15 before long.
I then tried a hand mage deck and quickly climbed to rank 12. I hit a wall and then tried various decks listed on here but once again I’m at rank 15.
i think I’m reasonably competent at this game but fear most of the decks listed are for higher ranks where the meta is perhaps somewhat different to what’s happening at 15.
So this leads me on to why I’m here. After 12 consecutive defeats in the last 2 hours: is anyone having much joy with Mage decks at rank 15-10?
From my experience, Odd Mage is a bit faster deck that can easily burn Big Spell mage, but I think the most popular deck is still Big Spell mage. It's just hard to play as you have to carefully manage your resources and basically wait until you draw frost lich Jaina and can this be very draw dependent. If you like mage, I'd recommend other spellcaster classes like priest and warlock. They're not tier 1 atm, but they can compete with those decks if you're comfortable with them.

Thanks in advance!
How did you manage to "And hovered between 8-5 for the remainer of the season" after hitting rank 5? How come you're rank 15-10 when with rank 5 you should've been demoted to 9 and be unable to drop below 10?
As for the Mage decks, I play a bit of Odd Mage, it's really fun for me; played it at Legend last season and this season I'm at 3-2 atm, it's not a 75% winrate deck, but it's decent - and I've been losing to Big Spell Mage when I faced it. Don't know if that's an indication which of them is stronger since it's been just a few games, but still...I think BSM is pretty good rn, since the hardest aggro deck you could play against is not that popular anymore, or not in its most troublesome form at least (Odd Paladin, Token Druid is absent too)

I checked back and I made it to rank 6.
Right now all I seem to be facing are decks that completely overwhelm any control I try to exert on the board. I played BSM throughout the entirety of last season but it doesn’t seem to have enough to beat most of the combo decks I’m coming up against.
Edit: I’ve played some more tonight and realise the problem is that with the Mage decks I’m using by turn 4-5 I’m already at around 10HP. The pressure from priests and hunters keeps me from being able to clear the board as the face pressure is too high.

Had to say but you can try something funny with mage. I have three decks at the moment.
One is nearly classic odd (I run 2x Balst wave and no Luna. One wave, no Alana for Luna + Ironbeak Owl should be good).
The RNG is very expensive but crazy fun. I made it to honor Murpy ....
The "Gift" Deck is unter testing and also fun. Might need some tweaks. If it fails in the current version i will test it with secrets.
From my experience, Odd Mage is a bit faster deck that can easily burn Big Spell mage, but I think the most popular deck is still Big Spell mage. It's just hard to play as you have to carefully manage your resources and basically wait until you draw frost lich Jaina and can this be very draw dependent.

It's not rng if you call - Amaz

You can't stop the signal.

I can’t be the only one having these problems.
The gift deck seems to be a fail. I will test the priest version. The others are definitly good.
