Secret-Mage is heavily played atm because it counters the new APM cheese-Priest deck that is a huge % of the wild meta. The deck is nowhere close to tier 0 and the 1-drop is meh.
The data shows the 2 decks with the new cards have a 72.9% and a 71.8% winrate.
I can tell you dont seriously play wild. Secret mage is no where near tier 1. Post patch is miracle priest cheese ruining wild right now.
New secret draw card is garbage and kabal lackey is still superior. Secret mage doesn't have a draw issue and too much secret draw defeats the purpose of explorer, mad scientist, ancient mysteries, seer of Darkmoon, rigged faire game, etc. You end up with no secrets to draw. Also new card does not cheat mana in any way and dies very easily.
Kingsbane, pirate rogue, even shaman, quest druid are all favored and more consistent. big priest matchup is a toss up, as are reno decks (priest, mage).
Prove it with data. Your opinion is not evidence.
I watch high tier Wild streamers like Dane and Martian Buu.
I think you are incompetent but don't know it. Your entire post has outdated information like you don't know about the miniset and think it is March. I was legend in wild in May and typically am every month (not that it is worth typing this for you, yes I'm replying to a known goofus for some reason).
I got my first Spicy Pretzel Mustard in a while, they used to happen on a regular basis but Battlegrounds has done a good job of balancing so steamrolling through a whole game is much less common because early units are no longer OP.
When I won the last battle, I remembered a tie occurred several rounds earlier so I wasn't sure I would get it.
It is not clever to put a card in that deck which is only good for targeting specific weapons. By the way it is called Wildpaw Cavern. So it is not good. The problem is that rogue has too many mana cheating cards which are broken in specific situations like Preparation, Secret Passage, Breakdance, Scribbling Stenographer or Kingsbane.
Then don't?
When I make decks, I decide what I must beat and what I must accept that I lose to.
An Even Shaman has an embarrassment of riches to choose from and could choose to target Kingsbane.
An Even Shaman could be built to beat the crap out of Kingsbane Rogue, sure it would be worse against everything else, but that's how it works.
Quest Druid owns them. Shadow Priest owns them. My Reno Shudderwock Shaman with Stickey Fingers in etc owns them, and I dont always need Sticky Fingers because 1 mana freeze their face elemental and 1 mana freeze face spell stall good.
Even Shaman ... the kids table Value Meal deck in your vid according to Tempostorm is a favorable matchup for the Even Shaman.
If you were clever and an Even Shaman run 2 Wildspaw Cavern and they would be frozen whole game.
But that would require thinking, right?
If I seem sarcastic, it is because Even Shaman has so many tools like Brrrrrlocks available that this should not be hard.
I am here after 6 years just to tell you that today i Alt f4 my game after opponent made this bug and it instantly gave me loose. I hope you will enjoy your trip to hell.
It's the strongest deck defeated by playing a single card since Jade Druid.
I've played Stickey Fingers twice ever. The most recent time, they just rope quit because they lost a game of Hearthstone.
It is an annoying deck, but it has some very bad matchups (Quest Druid, Shadow Priest, Even Shaman).
I haven't run into the deck often at legend in wild (almost none).
King's Bane Rogue is like Big Priest, either your deck beats it or loses to it and it feels bad if your deck loses to it, except a single card removes their win condition.

You've established that you play a subpar version of the deck without the 74% winrate 1-drop.
And you say the 1-drop sucks.
So it is not difficult to imagine that you are perhaps not exactly the best player, so I can imagine that, like you say, you get beat a lot.
Here is a competent player steamrolling with the deck:

The "meh 1-drop" has a mulligan winrate of 74.9% ...

So yeah, Tier 0. This is what the data shows.
Hearthstone has made an active effort to neglect and kill wild. I'm just going to accept the fact this is their goal and quit playing wild.
There are about 5 remaining wild streamers. 2 seem on the verge of quitting wild. I wonder how long the other 3 will last?

So Wild is now permanently a Secret Mage Super-Toilet?
Secret Mage with the new 1 drop that draws at end of every turn is your new Tier 0 deck.
Great job making Wild a 1 viable deck format!
Hearthstone is now a Battlegrounds client to me.

Is ETC overpowered now? Seems a bit broken after the changes.

Wait and see mode for me.

Maybe he is newer to Hearthstone and was excited.
