Current aggro decks are far too strong and the game lacks good control decks. Shaman and Warrior excluded. They talk up Mage's strengths being in board clears but where the fuck is a viable big spell mage deck?
I would wait until the expansion. Mage is pretty poor for climbing in the current meta - there are far too many aggro decks and too many Hunters. Mage is too slow.
There are some zoo mage decks that the pros were using in their stream when ROS first released. I think this is a poorer version of that if I’m honest. I think a mech mage might work with galaxy but the lack of mage mech synergy lets it down compared to other classes.
I’ve tried it but almost every control deck destroys it. It’s a real shame there doesn’t seem to be a viable aggro mage deck this expansion. And dragon mage now seems to be too predictable... can’t climb higher than 4 with it anymore.
I've been playing Khadgar Dragon Mage and variants for 150 games now. My win rate is 53%. I find that in so many of my games I literally have no answer for the opponent's draw, and get completely overwhelmed. It's frustrating going from Rank 5 to 3 and then back down again over and over...

Nice video but how often does a warrior not have brawl in his hand...?

Big priest 5 - 0 this deck. My experience :(

Basically they came up with a really cool concept for summon mage but then decided they would make shaman do it better...

Is anyone climbing with mage at the moment? I get to rank 1-2 most months. But this is terrible at the moment... way too much aggro.

Does it beat mech hunter? That is literally al I want for mage right now.

Playing 10-5 really sucks right now because it’s pure aggro. Yet to find a mage deck that can handle all this aggro. This one included.

This deck has an appalling WR on HSReplay. Currently at 37%.

Struggling with card draw atm.

I really don’t understand the win condition for this deck? You don’t do enough face damage to get the pyroblast off with these minions and spells.

There has to be a flavour of the month. Always. It cycles. As paladin retires, rogue rises.
