You should play Wild imo. Mage is one of the most flexible classes in Wild, and has several high tier archetypes.

In particular, Reno Mage is a really cool deck. And you get to play ALL the crazy survival cards.

You're way better off playing Wild where every class will always have SOME decks that are good. Playing Standard, some months/years your fav class is garbage and there's not much you can do.

I love mage but often feel the love for Hunter by Blizzard makes it a better Mage than Mage.

The secrets are better and are more difficult to play around. It has spells that deal damage and discover spells. It can summon good stat minions in the midgame, all while constantly pressuring you with hero power. It has arguably better tempo spells and better draw. Beast Call and Hunters Pack are incredible plays. 

 

  Why would you dig this up. This is April's months post :/

 It is wrong meta you are quoting, zbit not exactly wrong yourself. Btw mage never healed tons( except for DK jainas time).

Mage prevents damage with freeze effect's and secrets. It does not need as much healing as paladin or warlocks do.

Mage is actually fine in freeze spell department. It is not fine in regard that most of mage minnions suck for board control now.

And since board control is lacking they obviously lack ways to finish games. Maybe going back to alextraza might help.
