I've always hated the implementation of Tech cards. If Hearthstone had some sort of side deck idea that you could switch out cards depending on what class you were put up against, then they'd be fine. Problem is is that you put them in your deck and they're liabilities against certain decks. We rarely see them in the meta unless they're really good, or in the case of the last 3 months, there's a bunch of weapons heavy decks in the meta. Kobold Stickyfingers wasn't played once during its entire run until Evolve shaman took off recently.
This just tilted the scales out of secret deck favor..
also, indirect Flare buff boys yeeeet!
Nighty night Secret Mage! Finally!
This doesn't look like it will be super impactful in standard, unless they reveal some pretty bonkers new secrets and those decks become the top of the meta.
But kind of a cool new idea for secret tech. I like it.
Get ready for the downvotes
this will be tier 1 in wild
Why? Keep in mind that you DON'T destroy the enemy secrets, just copy them. For 1 mana only more you have in wild a 2/5 that DESTROYS the secrets AND gets bigger stats.
I understand your hype but please tier 1 come on
Well yes and no, on one hand it's worse than eater because it doesn't destroy secrets, but on the other it's 3 mana 3/4 so you can technically play it on tempo vs no secret opponent (I know it's not good but still better than 4 mana 2/4).
for a tech card a 3 mana 3/4 seems far too good
I am missing the downside, should cost more mana (or less stats) imho
Not the best tech card but it will see some play in standard (wild has got the secret eater for 1 mana more which is way BETTER)
like, eater of secrets is such a bad card lol. dead draw in way too many cases and a 4mana 2/4 in wild is basicly a concede
I don't know why I am spending my time answering ignorants but if you say secret of eater is a dead draw in non-secret mages matchups image this one. Seriously stop it
i never said a word about this card lmao
THIS!!! is what wild players needed to tech secret mage. Thanks!!!
I've tried a deck with 2x Eater of Secrets ; [/card]Kezan Mystic[/card] 2x SI:7 Infiltrator and 2x Chief Inspector... 7 secret removeal minions in total and still occasionally losing vs secret mages. it's broken.
Wild players need a nerf for secret mage. We don't need another tech card. There are already better tech cards and are not sufficient.
Because turn 4\5 is usually too late. This is turn 3 that makes it far better against high tempo secret decks than something like Si:7 infiltrator
This card will cast amazing Warrior and Demon hunter secrets when played! I still can't understand all these so called ''tech'' cards that are just vanilla stated 3/4, 3/2 most of the times and just take a spot in your deck when you can just put a good card that complement your deck rather that disrupt your opponent's... I don't think this will see much play.
Tech cards are great at bottlenecks, especially between Diamond 2 - Legend.
About a week ago I was at diamond 1 for awhile, dropping to two occasionally but the whole time never seeing a secret mage.
Now after the VS wild data reaper showing how strong the deck is atm, more than 60% of my games have been secret mage.
I see your point regardless.
That’s what tech cards are. They have a special purpose against a specific deck mechanic and are rubbish against anything else.
Yes, in a diverse meta you would add something that improves your overall deck quality, but in a meta with dominating decks of that specific mechanic, tech cards immensely improve your win rate against the dominating deck while only slightly decreasing it against unpopular decks.
Due to facing the dominant deck more often than unpopular decks, your overall win rate goes up.
