That depends. I've been playing it the past two weeks and have been doing really good with it. Over 60% win rate at Diamond 5 down to Diamond 3 so far. I'm a casual player, I only play a few games a day but I've been playing since the first year of hearthstone.
If you are a newer player you might not like the deck since you really need to know your matchups and be patient. It's worst matchup is probably hunter and then demon hunter if they have a really good draw. But I've beaten both too. Warlock is pretty easy. Just have to be prepared for their Galacrond and Alex turns.
I think it will definitely be better after the nerfs but it's not definite.
Sooo, it depends on what you like and how much you need to spend to craft it.
It’s pretty good, if you are lucky enough to dodge priest and warriors, bad luck albatross is getting nerfed and spell mage can really benefit from it after the nerfs
It’s freaking awesome. Strong and fun. It’s an RNG deck, and since HS is all about that it’s the best way to enjoy the game. You win some you lose some. Don’t need Reno Hero at all. And add Yogg Box for good measure. Enjoy!
I've not played the deck but I genuinly feel bad for opponents playing it so far. I've experimented with some bad/meme decks and even then it seemed incredibly toothless. I'm guessing there's a bit of high roll potential but I can't see how anyone could climb with it. I'm guessing there's fun to be had with evocation if you can play it on 10.
Since you ask, I guess you are a f2p player or you have limited dust.
If that is the case, the answer to sentences like "is it worth to craft {insert whatever} before the next nerfs?" Is a big No-no! I know you do not like it but it is safer to follow this rule..
Normally I'd say wait few days for for meta to settle and see what happens, especially if you are short on dust and cannot make anything else, but do it man ;) If you like a mage as a class and spells is your thing just craft it. It doesnt need to be T1 deck to Play on high level with good winrates, and spell mage is both quite powerfull and very fun to play. Relatively cheep as well. Having lot of fun with it and honestly I'd rather craft this than face Hunter, murloc stuff or anything else with similiar dust cost. It gives me more joy now than this demon hunter bullshit or highlanders that are all the same. Feels fresh and I'm pretty sure it will be viable later on. Think about secret rogue aswell. Hanar and bamboozle is nice to play too :)
i have to spend 9k dust, i used just 3k for now, still waiting for meta to settles finally, actually i always liked mage but didnt had a good deck to use for long time since i had a break some months ago, so ill wait few days for the next patch, then ill craft spell mage i just need to use 2700 dust for it
and thx a lot for ur replies, its really helpfull to me
I have played around with it and tried some homebrew ideas with it, problem is, the damn albatross shuts it down entirely. Even after the nerds, albatross will still be used in galakrond warlock and priest, so unfortunately, spell mage will be relegated to just for fun and memes until next rotation. Also there is no healing, other than ice block, and demon hunter and face hunter will trample you.
hey guys, is it worth to craft a spell mage before the next nerfs? is it good on ladder? i just really like it and need to be sure, im 10 platinum

Its really medicore deck, sth like bottom Tier 2.
Highlander mage outclass Spell Mage very hard.

It's fun and strong...stinks coming up against albatross right now though.
it is weak I played with it too much it has certain weakness such as not having end game plan.
alright, Highlander/Spell mage or Secret Rogue, i wish to get one of them i will think about it yet, thank you very much people
If you want wins christmas tree rogue. Putting 5 secrets from 3 classes on board is incredibly powerful and a lot of fun.
