Yea, sure, look at low ranks and how good is Mage there. Especially after few days of people trying greedy Renathal decks that greatly benefited both Mage archetypes, that are otherwise quite mediocre (remember Mech Mage was always considered worse than Naga and got no new cards since, Big Spell Mage was a joke). Their winrates are artificially inflated and will plummet very soon.
So good luck leveling with Mage. Especially Big Spell Mage which, though not very good, is thoroughly hated, and gets BMed literally each time when losing. And you will lose A LOT.
Mech Mage is weak, Big Spell Mage requires you to be lucky and is predictible, easy to play around for some classess. So no, Mage is not fine.
it seems competitive, included in most lineups in the ongoing tournament (you can check the overall stats in battle-fly website) Hearthstone Masters Tour: Vashj'ir
Decks chosen for tournaments and decks good for laddering are very often very different decks.
Mage has 3 archetypes and so what? It's still one of 3 classess with lowest winrate. How is that being good?
You don't win, simple.
Worth noting for people who think Mech Mage is good - no Mech Mage was played during last Masters Tour (at least from quaterfinals).
Yea, and new season just started, obviously hsreplay will need few days before their statistics reflect what happens now instead of a week ago.

None of the Mage decks is particularly good against Warlock and this did not change.
