As a mage player, I'm curious what the future is going to be like for the class. What possible identity or archetypes develop. Together with the rotation, control might be even more difficult to work with. No freeze - can't slow aggro, even harmless mirror image got gutted, no damage from hand - can't burn opponent, no poly - can't neutralize giant minions or powerful deathrattles. Unless we get some op chonky class minions or summon x/y x-times I don't quite see how can a mage compete the board and push dmg to face eventually . For some of the tier 1 classes this is in fact a buff - by removing the few tools that could actually harm them (especially if they lose bad/mediocre cards that see very little play) . Notice how classes lost their silence/poly/dispel effects? Blessing of Authority and Argent Braggart are probably having a party right now. I'm excited about the expansion and the changes it brings but so far there are clear winners and those who got fcked hard.
Can't wait for the new cards to be out. For now, let's pray for a good rng with devolving missiles.
