How are people shifting their decks around to compensate for the influx of Mages right now (or.. at least here on EU). I somewhat assumed that Lock/Mage would be right up there (didn't expect secret Mage so much) so now I'm personally struggling to find a solid way to tech around the current meta. Haven't seen too many Druids recently but running Skulking isn't an option anyway (obviously). Eater of Secrets feels like a solid pick up, what are you guys dropping for it (if you're teching it at all)?
This is what I'm running right now. Considering dropping FoK for Edwin as another win condition or maybe Blade Flurry to help clear up Locks with full boards late game.
First: I don't really see the problem with Skulking Geist. I run a copy in my list and I even have two Doomerang instead of one. Never been a problem as those cards are for completely different matchups anyway. When Geist is good, I don't mind removing my Doomerangs anyway. I just like not being cold to Jade Druid :D
Second: I'm quite sure, that this archetype will never have a good matchup against secret mage. It wants to pray on a more controlish meta.
currently I'm running this list, currently no Preparation as often had it sit in my hand for ages not doing much:
If I would go for changes against secret mage, the Naga Corsairs would be possible cuts, Blade Flurry hasn't convinced me so far and Doomerang could be cut down to 1

I just trigger the secrets as fast as possible and go for maximum tempo. Most people aren't very creative with secret choices so you can just counter it by outplaying.

Haha nothing worst than top decking prep, and just really wanting anything else.
There are just so few spells it's good with. Mostly Vanish and the occasional Blade Flurry/Fan of Knives/Mimic Pod. Sometimes it's important to have that 3 mana Vanish but mostly Prep just isn't worth spending a full card on in a non-combo style deck
