90% of the decks I play are Secret Mage. It's not that it's unbeatable... it's just boring to play against the same deck over and over again. Murloc Shaman, Mech Pally and Big Priest seem to round out 8% of the rest. I know, I know, I know... Blizz doesn't care about Wild. Well, they should. It's a really fun format that's getting strangled by the 'cancer of the day/week/month.'
No matter what Blizzard does, there will be a deck like this in Wild. I have played only Wild since it was implemented, and I can tell you from experience that there will always be "That Deck." Pirate Warrior, Razakus Priest, Kingsbane Rogue, Star Aligner Druid, Big Priest, Even Shaman, Odd Paladin/Rogue, and now Secret Mage. It's just like the old saying goes, there's always bigger fish.
Having said that, I completely agree. I hate Secret Mage with every ounce of my being. Every other game. Smorc, smorc, smorc. I am hoping for a nerf in the future, but just be aware that a nerf to Secret Mage won't fix Wild. There's another cancer deck hiding in the shadows.
WIld isn't broken just because you dislike the current strongest deck. There will always be top decks that people will gravitate towards, this just means that smart deck building to counter said decks can be very rewarding indeed.
Secret Mage can suck my ass. Somedays I dream of noticing someone playing it on mobile in front of me at the park or whatever so I could shove their device down their fucking throat.

This.
OP is literally asking the impossible. Wild cannot be "fixed."
They can nerf an overpowered deck for you, but due to the nature of Wild and the fact that it has reached a critical mass of cards, it's simply always going to be dominated by something crazy.
As long as they insist on Wild being all-access, all the time, it will never get better. The only way it's going to improve is if they break it up the way they did Arena.

I never said Wild was broken. I just got bored playing against secret mage over and over again.
Yes, yes, I know... someone please direct me to the mega salt thread... except I'm not salty, just bored ;)

Well, by asking for a fix you kind of implying it is broken... if it’s not broken is there even something to fix? Lmao
Honestly secret mage isn't even the worst of it. BUT MAYBE it is just me as I play priest with potions of madness and penances which trade out nicely and even if counter spell is up, enemy denies me 1 or 2 mana for a card of his.

I always wonder about comments like this and wonder if they are trolling or not. If you quit the game, why do you still visit a site that is all about it.
EDIT: Yeah. Looking at your comment history you are obviously trolling.
wild is just so gigantic in its possibilities, if you fix something you break something else
so there's almost no point. just begins an endless cycle
then maybe "fix" isnt the right term... perhaps "refresh" wild would be more appropriate.
We get a standard refresh every expansion & a complete standard overhaul once a year, but in wild evergreen decks rule the roost because the top (or most boring) decks continue to get new and exciting support cards (looking at you secret mage and big priest) and the counters in each new expansion are just too few and far between.
For goodness sake, one of the best Big Priest cards, Vargoth, was FREE for crying out loud.

Yea feeding secret eater is boring after hundred times. It's good moment to play some standard, highlander hunter is fun to play. You can try it.
Yes, I know... I actually DO like that deck. I just really, actually like Wild as well. It's just...sigh... cancer riddled.

wild is just the "we don't give a fuck about it"-section of hearthstone
so why should they? very very occasionally they just slightly nerf the stupidest shit, that's about it
Secret Mage can suck my ass. Somedays I dream of noticing someone playing it on mobile in front of me at the park or whatever so I could shove their device down their fucking throat.
imagine asking for balance in wild
Tech Eater of Secrets all you want, but if you don't draw him in the first 5 turns, you are dead anyway.
hahaha comment is by Sorcerers Apprentice, remarking on Secret Mage post

Weapon removal is a better tech choice against Secret Mage than Secret removal.
