Having not really played Warcraft since Warcraft 2, I found the stories mostly baffling.

"When I was a kid, Azeroth was the name of a kingdom and Orcs were always green. What's a dragonflight? What are you doing on …

very glad that my quest mage isn't the Autioneer version

Super interesting that quest mage isn't on the top 1% - I wonder if that means it'll avoid the balance changes. Aggro Hunter sitting at 57% seems oppressive

Speaking as someone who mainlines Mage (in standard), I can see the calls for nerfs to [card]Incanter's Flow[/card], but, to be honest, dropping it early doesn't win as many games as you might think. Its real payoff is in the …

Hadbuff seems to really take off around D7 and up. On my grind up (as quest mage) I basically faced none that were a problem until then, at which point it was all [card]Cult Neophyte[/card], [card]Robes of Protection[/card], and [card]Battleground …

If you're running into a lot of problems with mage, run [card]Robes of Protection[/card]. Hard mulligan for it, if necessary. I've had a dozen games as mage get completely shut out by a single one of those, as quest mage …

Rough! I got [card]Final Showdown[/card] from the RT, too...

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, [card]Hot Streak[/card] is hot garbage. I've found that I'm most consistently getting frost spells off of the various discover options. [card]Fire Sale[/card] seems to help quite a bit by being tradeable. 

I was counting on winning the deck building to get the preorder bundle. Last time I bought cards was Karazhan.

Dang! That's... improbable. Nice one.

So, just opened my 125 United in Stormwind packs, and, I gotta say, I'm hella disappointed. Stat dump below:

• Packs: 125
• Total Cards: 625
  • Rarity Breakdown
    • Common: 453
    • Rare: 139
    • Epic: 29
    • …

Finished at level 228 w/Tavern Pass. I'm debating whether or not to get this one. I don't care about the cosmetics this time round, but I do like getting a fair bit more gold for packs. 

I've got 3 packs from Ranked rewards and 12200 gold burning a hole in my pocket... 125 packs at launch here I come! (My previous all-time high for total packs during an expansion was 127 with Forged, so I'm pretty …

Better catch up then, I've already theorycrafted for keywords that blizzard hasn't even thought up yet.

The gameplan vs control is gold

Right?

Now we have to battle for top mage guide

Omg! Thanks for the shout out! I guess my time as a textbook editor (almost) paid off! Gotta study the winner for tips, and maybe 'll get my first mega bundle next time...

Seriously, super fun competition. 10/10

…

If you're looking to cut [card]Flurry (rank 1)[/card] it might be worth dropping in [card]Arcanologist[/card] to tutor for the [card]Ice Barrier[/card]s. Between [card]Runed Orb[/card], [card]Venomous Scorpid[/card], and completing Step 2 of the quest you've got 5 chances to discover another …

Tying the giveaway to deckbuilding/theorycrafting gets a big 10/10 from me. It prompted me to make my first theorycraft deck, write my first deck guide, and participate way more than liking/commenting on every card. Plus, having a combination of random …

Who wants some Spell/Quest Mage? Me!

Well, hopefully you do, too. I love playing Mage, and this deck is here to get you a complete quest by the midgame so that you've got plenty of time to go face …
