Hello everyone. Before the new expansion I was planning to build a spell damage mage deck but was not sure it would be fun or playable. So far I played few games with it but won them all at diamond 4-5. I just wanted to share it if anyone wants to try it or give me advice to enhance the deck. Here it is.
Yup, did it with my own deck and it was super easy like 22-5. The thing that surprises me is that my wr against hunters significantly increased after HOF (same deck)
Hey, I feel the same way actually. It's really hard to catch up with them if they had a great opening like Embiggen plus Breath of Dreams. They have to count on their minions to kill you, so using your removals wisely is decisive I think. Try to get either Flamestrike or Frostnova of Malygos. 1-Cost Frostnova allows you to Alexstrasza+Frostnova combo with full mana and Flamestrike usually wipes out their board. Other than that, if you sense he will begin to overwhelm you and you will lose eventually, don't hesitate to puzzlebox. All in all its 50/50 matchup in my opinion. Hope this was helpful.
Hey thank you for your comment. Actually, against any priest deck (all of them pretty slow) you should be really economic with your threat sources and just be patient. Many times I was in a situtation where I had many cards and possible threats in my hand and some on board where opponent had no other option than use his removals. As I said, if you are facing with them a lot, consider adding Ironbeak Owl and Tortollan Pilgrim which would really help.
That’s why they are printing some cards to support only spell deck archetype, I guess. And I am sure priest will get more drawing in following expansions.
How I can mass removal with rogue? I can't, it is the class weakness, same concept with draw in priest.
The class can get value from random cards from opponent deck, if you don't like the mechanic try to use your resources the more optimal way possible.
I have got to agree with this. Or else, some healing or extra armor would be handful for mages too. :)
Mages should have healing too they are mages they should have a spell for that somewhere...
I mean when you think of it, I guess Blizzard is trying to reflect class' identity. Priest with big buffes and using opponent's cards/minions in his favor makes sense in this regard.
Well, I like dragon related cards so Firetree Witchdoctor is bad to lose. Also as a mage main, Zilliax was very important for the class, since mages don't have many healing or other tools to survive early aggro.

Hey, thank you my friend. As mentioned above, replace either with frostbolt or sunfury protector, your choice :)

Out of new mage cards, yes. I think he's the only solid card can fit into this deck.
