Yea blizzard kind of screwed mage ever since they removed ice block and never replaced the void it created. You would think they would give something powerful to compensate, but instead we get mostly meme cards ever since. And I don't know why they won't drop the rng casino mage concept, just let it die and move on to something else Blizzard.
There is some measure of skill obviously, but imo it equally takes sheer force of will and concentration. Maybe you can put in the hours but get bored or frustrated easily and start to misplay or rush through games. Some people can maintain their composure better than others in a game that can become very tedious with repeated play. Also I think having kids can really tank your win rate sometimes 😁
Agree. Made a card for newbies, locked it behind 1600 dust. When newbies get 1600 dust there is going to be too much temptation from other legendaries to actually craft this.
You're acting like 1600 dust is a big deal.. sorry but it isn't much. That's less than any full deck unless you're running a very cheap aggro deck.
Be grateful this card even exists. And if newbies craft another legendary instead, then that means they weren't much interested in whizbang in the first place.
I disagree 1600 dust is a lot even after I've been playing for a few years. For someone new it's even worse.
I think they should give it away free like they did with Marin just because it's such a worthless card (competitively), I'm going to be annoyed if I open one in a pack.
Not criticizing this deck in particular, but I found this deck doesn't work on a fundamental level.
The biggest issue is mage doesn't have tempo secrets like hunter, yet the stats of kabal lackey and kabal crystal runner all encourage an aggressive playstyle. Secondly, mage secrets are just bad, easy to play around and redundant, like mirror image and potion of polymorph triggering together on a 1 drop. The third problem, medivh's valet and ethereal arcanist, all work against your secrets actually being triggered. In a way, you are punished when your opponent plays into a secret. Ice block is too late game of a secret to work very well. The fourth problem is card draw. The sheer amount of secrets you need play and the cost reduction means after turn 4 you can play your whole hand and there's so little space to actually fit card draw in this deck. This is really bad because all the strategy of which secret to play just goes out the window when you only have 1 secret in your hand and you need to play it to keep up the tempo. This leads to the fifth problem. After turn 5 the cost reduction don't even matter. You just end up playing poor minions for a pay off of a 0 mana 5/5 which is nothing in a meta where players are making 1 mana 7/7s.

Looks bad. Why would you want to play 3 different game boards at the same tine

I think for hearthstone to be enjoyable, priest must stay bad / out of the meta 😁

Blizzard could give away the entire sets for free and only charge for golden cards and they'd still make millions. geez

Pretty bad, not good enough to see play in either aggro or control imo
