Hsreplay is not accurate now. Meta changed.

Let me tell you it was hard grind. After new miniset hit, that Sick Druid with turn 7 fifteen mana and 24 dmg face dmg spells was a nightmare for me with this deck, but in some games it was still winable (aggression is the key, not focusing on quest, rather having minion on board).

Against any aggro (basically all decks trying to beat Sick Druid), this deck is slightly favorable, just keep some healing in hand and use it when you have Xyrella.

Going throuh rank 2 diamond was really hard, for some reason going through rank 1 was not that hard. I met two Sick Druids (one win, one lost) two hunters and aggro druid for legend rank battle (pretty hard fight, not usual net deck list).

Well here is the deck, enjoy climbing.

Does anybody know what idiot designed 1 mana mage buff for ping hero power? It should NEVER go to more than 1 and if it does there has to be bigger payoff for this shit to have basically better hunter hero power. But Blizzard went further. This shit can be 6 damage after using Hero card, basically pyroblast, plus additional 6 damage by rare, i repeat, rare 3/5 miniom plus additional pyroblast with 8/8 body for 8 mana. This shit is really sick and beyond bad design. It is like Warrior would have hero power "gain 12 armor" and rare cheap minion "for every enemy minion gain armor equal to your hero power" - than HS would be fair.

I made this deck tk beat meta. It does EXTREMELY well against Secret Pala, Aggro Hunter and Spell Mage and very well against Rush Warrior and usual Control Priesr. From D5 to Legend it was smooth ride with minimum loses.

Yeah I know that Kibler was playing something similar. I brewed this deck before his youtube video actually. I checked it out and if I remember correctly he was not playing 4 mana AOE minions, which are key cards against aggro decks.

Fireball should be hofed long time ago. Or should be made legendary or something.

I died too many times by 2 fireballs in my face, sometimes three because one was RNG.

It is Leeroy Jenkins of spells. Definitely top 3 spell in Hearthstone.

The problem is mage spells in general. Fireball is crazy, 6 dmg for 4 mana, compare it to the similar rare spell of Warrior where you have crazy condition to do 6 dmg for 4.

Counterspell usually causes auto lose, but fortunatelly spell mage doesn't have minions for counterspell to be that relevant.

But they have more cheap face damage. 5 dmg for 5 mana create 5 mana minion, lol. Janice who was nerfed do similar effect and it is legendary card, but there you have a chance to clear it next round.

7 mana deal 10 dmg is ridiculous. On top of that the generated spells usually contains that 4x3/5 minions going face.

Yeah, the deck is broken. Whole game is broken. I have just tried Paladins and didnt feel any weakening there.

Quote from C_A_W >>

- Blizzard and Iksar hyping Shadow Priest for like 2 months for them to print a better Shadowform for Mage.

- Every class got a win condition or something cool this expansion. What did Priest get ? same old removal and healing for 6th expansion in a row. Ever since RoS, 2 years ago, Priest has only lost win conditions and didn't get a single one in return.

- The last time Blizzard intentionally printed a win-con for Priest was in KFT with Anduin.

 Yeah it is kinda sad that priest gets 0 mana or 1 mana heal 5 every time - amazing, so now you have play 1 more round before you die (if you are lucky and you will not get 7 mana 10 - 12 damage to the face.

I have just hit the legend second time in row after 1.5 years of inactivity.

Ress Priest is way to go this month. With the flood of braindead Rogues, braindead token druids, netdeck Paladins and me go face Hunters it was smooth ride from rank 5 to legend (I had like 2 losses).
