Turn 1 Mana Wyrm is just an instant concede for me now. It's so frustrating when you're trying to play a fun deck but your opponent is only going face and you can't do anything about it. Sure you can kill the mana wyrms and kirin tor mage, but what do you do against double fireball and frostbolt face? Explosive Runes is also such a bullshit card. Can't play a small minion or you take 5 damage to the face. Can't play a big minion or they'll just ping it and you basically did nothing on your turn. Playing aggro? Have fun taking an explosive runes to the face. Playing control? Your one big minion is worthless and your control spells don't work. Fuck this mage archetype.
Let's try some Arena! I draft Mage and of course Cavern Dreamer didn't appear. First match: warlock. I m winning. Desconnection. I lose. Second match: mage. I m winning. Desconnection. I lose. Third game: Priest. Turn 1 Northsire Cleric, turn 3 the 2/4 that makes you discover cards instead of drawing, turn 4 Nightmare Amalgam and I didn't draw a single minion. I rage quit

Hi, my name is Lira Goldtooth.
Actually, you shouldn't have posted, because there are plenty of ways to counter turn 1 Mana Wyrm. Rogue, for example, has Backstab and Druids have Wrath. Besides, you must be playing one of these slow greedy decks if you have problems with Mana Wyrm on 1 and Face Mage is there to counter decks like yours. You see, it works as rock-paper-scissors game - you simply can't win at everything, just accept it. And if you're just salty because of the draw, it's a card game, so there is nothing to complain about: sometimes you have good draw, and sometimes you're just unlucky. You must've faced only lucky mages so far, statistically it's impossible for all of them to always have Mana Wyrm on turn 1, you see.
As for Explosive Runes, you're obviously exaggerating, because there are plenty of ways to counter it too. For example, you can tech in Doomsayer into your deck or, for example, an Unpowered Steambot: not only it will absorb the damage, but also the mage won't be able to ping it on their turn.
As for your last appeal ("Fuck this mage archetype"), it doesn't make very much sense either, because if you fuck someone, they will breed and you will simply have to deal with more representatives of this archetype in the future. From your post I understood that you don't like to deal with Face Mage, so I wouldn't recommend fucking this archetype and motivate others to take this course of action if you want to avoid frustration in the long run.

Haha I love this. Really cheers me up. Especially that last paragraph! Yeah I was just being super salty, but when you're playing against the same deck when you're trying to do memes, it's kinda frustrating. But its all good now, Thanks for your response. :)

I'm actually going to slag myself off today for having a really wanky attitude.
These new Time Tavern dailies are great. I log in as a tempo mage in casual to knock out the 25 spells one and queue into an odd paladin. And it's at this point the part of my brain that deals with civility stopped working. I emoted far too often to be civil and he probably thought I was a right twat. And in fairness, he'd be correct. He played badly and I won, which makes my behaviour even worse =(
So, next time I see myself online, I'm going to give myself a right slap.

Thank you. That's refreshing to read. Sometimes it's just a matter of perspective.
I haven't been salty for such a long time. Feels weird considering I can't even take my homebrew paladin deck to rank 3. What has this game done to me?
5-0 in arena with hunter deck. In comes three mages with Cavern dreamer (one had played three of them by turn 3), two of them had Mossy horror (which was devistating against my tempo deck) and dragons fury on t5. :D
Oh and one of them got Defile from Cavern Dreamer into a perfect tempo clear.
You know this is a douchebag community, when they bm you in casual WILD playing a renounce lock. While playing a top deck themselves. Complete and utter losers.
When this game doesn't want you to win, you don't win.
Playing a match against BSM who discovers TWO Lich Kings in addition to the one in their deck. Then after i manage to get rid of all of them, the Frozen Champions from a Sindragosa she was running give her ANOTHER Lich King and Baron Geddon.
This game just isn't good anymore. It was at first. Yes there was broken shit like pirate/patron warrior, but you could still have fun because you didn't see that one game out of 3. We've gone from a community that occasionally netdecked to one where literally everyone does (unless they don't know that there are decklists posted online). I hate knowing exactly what I'm up against within the first 3 turns. It's boring. There is no suspense, it's just "did I draw the answer to the card I know they have? nope? bottom right buddy". This is not fun.
I dont know if there are words in the English language to describe how much I hate Shudderwock Shaman. Yet another, "survive until turn 9 or 10 and then unleash the impossible to beat condition! hahaha"
Reminds me of Cubelock pre-nerf. It's not as oppressive, but same idea.
Dude what kind of bullshit is this , a rogue can hit themselves into negative 8 life and then heal? Blizzard clearly needs to rework lifesteal/kingsbane or maybe just the hero attacking mechanic in general. In mtg there are phases and I guarantee you that when you hit 0 or hell even a negative life total you are dead. None this oh psych gotcha I’m alive bullshit. Fuck off and fix your mechanics and turn phases you fucks.
Just lost on ladder to exactly this.
