Hearthstone Mage Decks

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Just wondering if Echo of Medivh has a place in this deck and what card you would possibly substitute in the deck for it?

 

Thank you in advance!

Which deck are we talking about exactly?

Mech/Aggro Rush Deck, sorry thought I posted it there... but thank you in advance.

I'd say it's just simply too slow. You're required to have a controlled board, with several minions for it to have a benefit. But Sottle can correct me if I'm not right. :)

Some people have tried it, there's a list floating around that plays Mana Wyrm, and then adds in Unstable Portals and either Arcane Intellect, or Echo of Medivh, but it makes the deck a lot less stable. You get some blowout wins, but also a bunch of awkward draws, I greatly prefer this more stable version.

Minor thing: in the Naxxramas section, Loatheb is mentioned twice. All in all, a very comprehensive guide. Good job!

Deck presentation suggestion (posting here under Mage decks but suggestion aimed at all deck pages).

 

As the deck lists get longer per hero, it's easy to miss the different versions of a deck within a list (since currently ordered by date). Take Mage for example -- currently there are 12 decks, but they can be categorized into 7 type of decks only (the variations existing because of budget or included card packs making the extra number).

 

My preference would be too see the 7 type of decks and then choose which version given my resources. If such a preference is unique to me, then ignore the point, but if you see some merit, consider the suggestion.

 

This is how I see the categorization of the current Mage decks (and my suggestion is such -- order by archetypes first and maybe by date secondary).

 

I've appended the deck names with these conventions:

 

Cost 0: Free

Cost 1-2000: LB

Cost 2001-5000: MB

Cost 5001+: HB

 

Naxx: N

GVG: G

BRM: B

 

 

The decks ordered by type and above conventions to show variations:

 

1. Freeze Mage 

HB-N

HB-NG

HB-NGB

 

2. Mech Aggro/Rush

LB-NG

MB-NG

 

3. Duplicate Control

MB-NG

HB-NG

 

4. Basic

Free

LB-G

 

5. Tempo

HB-NG

 

6. Echo Midrange

HB-NG

 

7. Fatigue

MB-NG

 

Thanks for the opportunity to make suggestions through this forum.

Yo sottle wats up!? :) Any grinder mage with the dragon synergy viable? I saw strifecro playing it and it looks good. Ysera and chrommagus and azure drakes synergize well with blacking technitian and the corruptor and the blackhand to kill any legendary. Are you gonna test it soon??

In the class specific rare section of the mage crafting guide the card unstable portal comes up as a hero power when you mouse over it.

Faceless Summoner: great card, should be used in minion-focused mage decks or in tempo mage. 

Servant of Yogg-saron: too unreliable and can be even dangerous. Although there aren't many good 5-drops, this card should be avoided.

Forbidden Flame: okay-ish removal, main downside is that it can't go face. Can be included as a single copy in regular freeze mage.

How about adding a Reno Mage variant to the fun/casual decks section? I know Sottle isn't a big fan of reno decks by watching his stream, but I find Reno Mage in particular to be a good deck to chill when you don't feel like taking hearthstone seriously. And I think the concept is just on the brink of being competitively viable depending on what they introduce in the next expansion.

It would be a nice idea. Dog's list seems pretty good. Do you have any other good lists in mind?

      Does anyone know of these changes make them relevant ?
      Should frost mage play with these or one of these now ?
