While dragon priest is one of my all time favorites, it's nearly impossible to win against decks like big priest, any non-aggressive druid, kingsbane rogue, secret or combo-oriented mages and shudderwock shaman. Those are some of the best decks currently so it's not a good choice for ladder, but at least does well against board-centered aggro decks like pirate rogue, even shaman, odd paladin and aggressive demon hunter lists. I hope someday will have more favorable matchups, but at least wanted to make a good list with available cards.
Odd warrior is a niche pick to shut down aggro and struggles a lot in other matchups, especially when opponents don't go wide and you're forced to remove one or two medium to big sized minions at a time. The best decks right now are aggro and a frequent encounter at high ranks so I thought of revisiting Odd warrior with currently available options. Glad you liked the deck :)
One of my favorites. There are rumors devs are thinking of adding Curse of Naxxramas to the Classic mode at some point so would be even sweeter with Sludge Belcher and Duplicate.
Even if Incanter's Flow makes all spells in the deck cost 0, the deck still runs a ton of spells that generate other spells (Runed Orb, Ray of Frost, Primordial Glyph, etc...). This is where apprentice and her mana cheat enabling really shines
True, but it's still used in other mage decks, which don't require a nerf so I'm gonna correct myself suggesting one for it. The same can be said for Flamewaker as it is not that broken without mana cheats from Incanter's Flow, Mana Biscuit and Spring Water. Apprentice would make it a bit too good, but without the insane mana shenanigans outside of that it would be fine.
Priest is fine. It takes a while to get Raza and Anduin and set up a winning pattern, takes a lot of damage in the process of using Spawn so need to plan quite a bit on dealing vs. receiving damage breakpoints. Most of the time it's all about controlling the board and your life total. I get why people can be frustrated by all its removal options, I am too, but that is just how the class is built. It just has a lot of removal and survivability options.
Hysteria is just another solid card in the class' arsenal, while Illucia is pretty much the only other card besides Dirty Rat to counter combo decks. With Illucia it also takes mana, timing and especially not skrewing yourself in the process. It's a solid deck, but not out of control like some of the others in Wild.
According to Vicious Syndicate live mages sit at ~ 27% compared to other classes being roughly around 10%. Even priest, which is second highest played class, sits at ~ 14%. I'm sure it's all fine.
Of course you can counter it. Every deck can be countered by something. Just because it can doesn't mean it doesn't need a nerf. If a deck is too powerful, not fun and overshadows other decks it needs to be adjusted. Just because it is Wild, doesn't mean it's fine.
The mentioned cards in Flamewaker mage all work together to make it so good. Changing Apprentice alone won't do much, when the other cards make everything cost nothing even without Apprentice. The deck plays with too much free mana.
Flamewaker mage definitely needs a big nerf. As a Wild player it's the most broken deck I've seen so far. It can OTK you through any board you have even by turn 4 and is way above the power level of an aggro deck fighting for the board, which makes it even more busted. Incanter's Flow and Sorcerer's Apprentice should have a limitation of not reducing cost below 1, Conjure Mana Biscuit should refresh only 1 mana, Refreshing Spring Water should refresh 1 mana per card drawn and Flamewaker should probably target minions only. Wild may sit at a high power level, but even so things that are oppressive or not fun to play against should be nerfed.
I'd like to change how I login to Hearthpwn. Since there is an option to login with a Blizzard account I'd like to use that to login to the site instead of the Twitch option. Is there a way to "migrate" a Twitch account to a Blizzard one? When I try to login with my Blizzard account all I get is a prompt to change my nickname and says it's taken, since I use Twitch now to login to HearthPwn.

I like playing arena more than any other game mode due to its diverse nature and low power level decks, compared to Ranked mode. I am fond of control and combo decks, but also like playing midrange ones.
The thing I enjoy most is deckbuilding. I dislike playing decks I have not yet changed to my liking no matter how well-built they appear to be in the eyes of others. I prefer my own versions of the decks I enjoy going into battle with.
I am a casual player and due to the state of the game since Old Gods, when the extremely powerful decks started to emerge, I have grown to dislike the experience in Constructed more and more to the point I do not play very much there. I spend most of my time in the Arena.
When I am in the mood to play Ranked I play only in Wild, because I cannot afford to rebuild my collection every time a new expansion comes around. Even the lower ranks demand a good deck and the cards I have that let me win games are in Wild. I am always willing to battle friends so do not be shy to ask for a match :)

Maybe it won't get changed so simply, but as it is now is too much for Wild.

My nerf wishlist:
Conjure Mana Biscuit --> refreshes 1 mana instead of 2
Incanter's Flow --> can't reduce spell cost below 1 mana
Flamewaker --> targets minions only
Refreshing Spring Water --> refreshes 1 mana per spell drawn instead of 2
Mozaki, Master Duelist --> flat spell damage +2
