The issue is combining 0 cost, unlimited draw, and infinite spells into one deck. I'm a mage player and even I hated Ignite Mage. To me Sorcerer's Apprentice has always been a tool to make fun decks, and unorthodox combos work. If it caused problems it wasn't bigger than whatever the hell another class could do. It was only now when two cards out of hundreds could take too much advantage of it that, that Sorcerer's Apprentice received an extremely harsh nerf.
Seeing the sorcerer's apprentice get nerfed that hard really, really bugs me. That card was never a problem until Ignite and Sanctum Schandler came into existence, and yet instead of fixing the problem causer they completely destroy a card that has been a part of mages identity for years.
