Holy crap I didn’t think my childhood game would be this stressful! I think I’ve learned how to boost now lol This game is as much fun as it was back then haha!

I only play mage or battlegrounds. Since I don’t buy a lot of packs (my money goes to battlegrounds) I usually disenchant the legendaries and epics from other classes to make new decks for mage whenever there’s a new season.

But I have been playing for a really long time, I think I started around the karazhan nights. I really liked frost jaina, highlander mage, casino mage, secret mage the skeleton mage and basically any control deck. I only played a bit of Protoss mage and elemental tempo mage.

I don’t really remember when was the last time mage had a good control deck (besides Protoss as I hear) and with every new expansion I look for the Mage cards and then trying to come up with combinations. Right now I can’t seem to put leylines and quest mage together, if I focus on discover, then I can’t really play the leylines minions to level them up as just leylines is a really straightforward deck with not much agency vs something like imbue rogue.

As I’m not really good at deck building I see a lot of the deck sites and see a lot of the win rates and mage hasn’t been on the top or mid decks for a long time now.

I’m disappointed with how overlooked mage is and am really jealous of rogue decks, as they have so many tools and a rewind imbue.

Is it possible Blizzard has moved on from Mage or they don’t know what to do with it?

Is a viable control mage deck too much to ask? It’s been a long time.

Another year another disappointment. Sorry for the rant, I’m not an explosive hater but I wanted to know how other people look at the decks we have, maybe even other people’s perspective from Mage or other classes and your experience.
