Just curious, how do you see these comments as constructive advice?

"You're hilarious, bro."

"And you're a troll. Congratulations on jebaiting the morons gullible enough to take you seriously."

"Complaining about questline mage having a 40% win rate and now this."

This helped me

"The most common mistake done by people who aren't used to the face playstyle is using too many resources as removal. Remember, face is in the name.

Even in matchups that force you to kill minions, there comes a point when you need to switch gears and start ignoring the board and going face. That decision is probably the only difficult aspect of the deck, but it's what is necessary to push your winrate past 50% at higher ranks."

If I was playing optimally, I wouldn't be in this forum. Child's card game?

"CCG players are overwhelmingly male, the study showed (80 percent), and the average age is 31."

Nice try. No lack of whose dick is bigger in here it seems...

You're a special person, now go belittle someone else

Thank you, this helped, I was too focused on their minions

Aren't you just a ray of sunshine? Some of us have lives and don't make Hearthstone a massive priority. You're the troll, in this forum attacking noobs to prop up your failed sense of self. 

You're unhelpful

You guys are really incredible here, thanks for all the constructive comments. Think I just got to the quest mage party late. Vicious Syndicate just made it sound like the deck was still viable to get to Legend. I've gone from 40% to 50%. Think part of the problem was focusing on removing minions before finishing quest. Now I realize I can go from being down 30-15 and come back with a vengeance. Hope everyone is chill...

I'm not even sure what this means, hell no I don't want to interact with my opponent, I social distanced before it was cool...

I'm with you...1-9...in bronze. People grind for dust, takes forever then Dekkster throws up a vid with some catchy title and you end up with a dog deck like this. It's irresponsible...

Take this as no offense but you should focus more on more "basic" game knowledge first. If you craft decks becuase their Legend winrate is high, you also want to play them at a Legend level; I wouldn't really blame the deck but myself in this case. People like to throw around how easy is to play Quest Mage but (aside from salty people) they are usually seasoned and well informed players. I think you should prioritize learning some basics like mana efficiency, threat assessment/removal and then learn hoe to pilot the deck properly.

Some tips like the others already said regarding the match you recorded. Even tho it feels bad quest completion is always the most important part of the deck (unless you need to survive) so sometimes being inefficient with mana is the right play, also you need to learn which cards do what in the deck: Ignite and Fireballs are usually the finisher but you can use both to trade if needed, especially Ignites since you get them back, Fire Sale is a good draw since if you control the board well you can clear 2/3 minions with other spells whilst completing the Quest without having to use it, Refreshing Spring Water is always the best draw spell if you can cast it, especially if you already casted Arcane Flow (which you should always prioritize) unless you need to complete a Questline with Arcane and want to use I.E. (but then again you may draw a better arcane spell anyway) Cram Session is the card most inexperienced players misuse, you want to hold it until Quest completion 90% of the time or if you get a spell damage minion, using it to complete the Quest means you are already in a bas position but the worst play is just using it to draw raw, don't do that. Apexis Blast... Honestly I hate it in the deck, I prefer to run 2 Wand Thiefs or 1 and a Spicy Bread Baker (good card if you find yourself needing healing) Runed Orb is great removal/face damage at the start since it also gives you resource to complete Quest but is also very good post Quest completion since you can discover lethal (use it either very early or try to if you draw it by turn 7/8) Great intel is use your own discovered minions to use targeted minion spells. Remember it's almost always more worth it to use a spell to complete the quest rather than 2 (or god forsake 3) of the same school in a row, only exception is lethal on board I guess.

Hope you can manage to get better, remember losing is normal (even a 54% winrate looses 46% of the time) and don't feel bad for crafting a suboptimal deck, you're the one playing it suboptimally so you haven't wasted your dust 

Quote from Machariush >>

this makes me really sad, people teaching how to play degenerate/cancerous mage quest, the most annoying deck ever printed, go play solitaire if you dont want to interact with your opponent...

 I admit that quest mage is annoying but earlier in the thread the OP said he spent a lot of his dust trying to craft it. I’m not sure if he has the resources to give up and build another deck. I think it’s a good thing that other commenters were willing to give him some constructive criticism instead of saying his deck was trash tbh

EU, Diamond 6, fell straight down to 10. 1:18. Ran the Deck parallel in my Deck Simulator (it still has problems with Vol'jin), after 1.2 Mio simulated Games against the Meta it came out with 37.9%. 32:13 probably only with insane Luck or the Worst MMR in history.
