Nerfs, HoF, rotation all combined with the single purpose of erradicate the mage class out of the existence.
HoF hit crucial cards for many decks like Ice Block and Baku.
Nerfs kill entire agressive play and tempo decks without any hope.
The very last remaining competitive card the DK will rotate soon leaving mage with nothing.
Mage was the less played class in tournament.
Hell, even the nice picture of Jaina they can't leave alone.
What hell is happening?
LOL what the hell is this post, it's all over the place! What exactly is your problem, the standard rotation? The nerfs? HoFing of cards? Do you want answers or just rant about 5 things all at once???
A lot of classes are getting hit just as hard, if not harder (RIP Druid). Let's just see what new cards are introduced in the next expansion before we panic

I want one of my favorite classes survive because looks like the team wants to eliminate the mage for no reason.

I don't have a problem with Standard rotation, but rotation cards one entire year sooner is not what is supposed to do, crafted the mage legendary because the great sinergy with Baku what I expected have one entire year to use.

That card is busted. Rag plus a 4/4 for seven mana and a super easy condition? You'll have to use clockwork automaton and daring fire eater to play it fairly in the new era of HS, and you can't just win via DK, which is one of the worst offenders in the game. Everyone is getting hit and losing cards. Calm down.
new management always tries mix things up, they try to correct what the previous team did and sometimes they over do it, change is welcome they will figure it out the good middle ground
You do understand that a whole new expansion is coming out with new cards so there will be new ways to play Mage or even enhance old standards of Mage. Way to soon to even speculate on what is coming.
No, I don't, the dust I spend in useless mage legendary, what is a dead class now, never will come back.
Ahm? Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk is arguably the best Loa in the entire RR expansion and it's being included outside odd decks as well. I agree with you, that Baku forms a very strong package with this minion, but her absence won't make the Dragonhawk unplayable. Ragnaros the Firelord is still a powerful finisher, as he can put a lot of pressure into the opponent. It will just take you more time to warm him up. If you want to activate Jan'alai faster, you have to use both Daring Fire-Eaters, which are still pretty good imho. 3 mana deal 3 damage to a minion, which often times kills it, or to the opponent's face is still fine. Maybe new decks will emerge after the rotation, which will include Spirit of the Dragonhawk, so don't panick.
Not to mention, you can always go to wild and play the powerful odd/value mage decks there.
Nerfs are bad, but unfortunately necessary to balance the game, especially when one single class like druid and shaman before outclass everything, it is not a good solution but better than don't do nothing in some cases, this is a chance in one or few cards, the structure and rules of the game remain untouched.
Force cards into Wild much sooner than the life spam in Standard is way more dangerous and is a terrible "solution", this act undermine the entire structure of Standard/Wild formats, change the rules in the middle of the game broken the confident of the players, we just can't trust what Blizzard says anymore.
"Classic cards always will be in Standard" they said, then they start this HoF BS and many cards go away forever.
"You can use classic cards and the new 2 years set in Standard mode, don't need to learn all the cards" they said, then Baku and Genn rotates out after only 1 year.
If they can't keep what they said who can?
You can't lie to your consumers like that and don't have consequences, many players leave and this is one of the reasons.

Why are you complaining a mere month before a new expansion? Cool your jets

The new expansion adds 135 cards we have never seen.
10 will be for mage.
Some might even be good.
How about we wait and see?

Druid is doing way worse than mage.

Here the facts:

That is it, remove Baku and turn the mage legendary worse was the final nail into Jaina's coffin.

I am more worried than salty, pushing so hard against a class barely have any competitive deck is terrible.
And a very bad precedent, we never be sure how to spend dust because we can't know how much time we can play the cards before rotation.
They change the rules how the games works, if I know before Baku will rotate a f...... year sooner I never spend hard earned dust into mage legendary.
You get your dust back. What else do you want?
No, I don't, the dust I spend in useless mage legendary, what is a dead class now, never will come back.
What did you craft that is now "dead?"
And there's a whole new expansion coming out, dude. Just chill.
You know, my shaman has suffered more than you in standard format, and it's been nerfed multiple times.
We gotta rely on the next expansion so that your and my class will be powerful!
I like elementals and totems.
