Title says it all. If I don’t have Luna’s early, I feel I don’t stand a chance. Nothing sticks, and the one board of giants is laughable in the face of multiple board clears and Supercollider. Games go to fatigue, where they win due to Elysiana. Anyone have experiences? I have thought of including my own Elysiana or weapon removal just for this matchup, since there are a lot of them on the ladder at least in EU ranks 10-5.
I included Elysiana+Baleful Banker package and warrior class just vanished from ranked for me. Not exactly what i intended, but it works so whatever :)
Unfortunately Reno mage has a bad match up vs control warrior, unless you play luna pocket galaxy on curve and immediately top deck some of the big boys, but even then it's not a guaranteed win. Try out Highlander Hunter, the match up is much, much better.
I don't think Elysianna would be the right tech. Even with her you'd probably lose the Ely vs Ely late game because of their 10 times better hero power. You need to win earlier than that.
You can try : Youthfull brewmaster to have 2 wishes with Zephrys, but not sure that'd be enough. Otherwise, if you just want to beat Warrior, just add big boyz to your list : astromancer, mecanical whelp things like that.
I've got a good win rate vs warrior, I usually just burn em down with a bunch of fireballs generated from Tony and I also run pyroblast. Try to get at least 2 - 3 fireballs from Tony.
Also you should focus on card draw early game since there's little pressure. Try to draw into lunas fast as possible. Hard Mulligan for card draw or lunas. At turn 8 that turtle guy can sometimes cast Luna for you
Play lunas before you draw alex is the main thing. First het thema out of armour, then tony + Ray of frost tot at least two fireballs and that should give you enough burst. I think matchup is 55-45 for the mage.

The problem is Elysiana is totally useless vs everything else, better try beat warrior with pressure, it is very hard but possible.

Release the Kraken!
I dont play Reno Mage but I think its just an unfavorable matchup? I mean, Warrior will probably just outvalue you?
I include Elysiana in any control deck I play - kind of like a tech card in control mirrors.

Also, according to Vicious Syndicate, Mage is well favored against Warrior. Maybe you should try their decklist : https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/deck-library/mage-decks/highlander-mage/reno-highlander-mage-2/

Wait for the nerf

Thanks! The idea of not grinding out appeals to me, and yes, Elysiana is a dead card in too many other matchups. Back to practicing:)
