I was facing a heavy loss against some hunter when suddenly i topdeck a 1-mana Malygos to dish out the lethal with a Maly+fireball+frostbolt combo. Ha!
Sometimes this game may be so frustrating... 4 consecutive games lost by Leeroy Jenkins being they're only winning option and always topdecked just the turn before I would have won.
:(
I want an "undo that last topdeck miracle" button which each player can use once each game. But maybe then the horror moves to the next topdeck miracle...this needs testing :)
Is it just me or is everyone and their mother playing hunter lately? I came back from a vacation with my family and all I get is mech hunters. How bad have these new changes been?
Totally agree. I try to run a mage deck with galaxy spell and some Giants so if all goes well I am winning at turn 5 and then I am not complaining. But indeed the hunter mech/bomb infestation is real. Not to mention all other aggro decks that are popular like tempo pogo rogue and token druid and murloc shaman.
Well one of the craziest wins I had lately was one against a resurrect Priest as Mage. He had after a lot of inital scrummage a re-resurrecting board with 2 vargoth's on board and a LOT of stats.
I had some AOE spells and some taunts to stay alive and had played galaxy spell so all minions in my deck cost 1 mana. Then I dicovered Arugal from that bird. So I played Arugal which by some miracle stayed alive, next turn I draw 2 1-cost star-aligners (I had a luna on board). So my hand is 4 one-cost star-aligners...which gave me a board clear + 14 face damage and my minions could finish him off in the same turn :) craziest come back ever.
I played a deck similor to this one without the Crow's and the Frog's but with Cinderstorm and Elemental Invocation and 2 lifedrinkers. It can destroy other aggro decks in no time but against stuff with a lot of armor it does not do enough damage except if you can keep your Questing Adventurer alive in the early game. It is definitely fun! How OP would mage be if we had a good one drop...i want back the old mana wyrm.
I think you will also see some fusion decks which have more than one win condition. Take for instance the mage conjurer variant. You could call it a combo deck when you hit giants etc. you win. If you hit on an insane spell refill turn with cyclone you could start a tempo play. And then you could win the late game using fireballs and Antonidas.
Add some more freezing to it (like a lot have done to improve it) and you gain more "control" aspects...stalling the game for a few turns so you can unleash your conjurer spells. But still, aggro will remain popular because if you win you win fast :) and with the mech-astation of late aggro gets a boost using the magnetic stuff which when in control of the board can turn any mech into a charge minion.
I mostly play mage, used to play a lot of hunter early on. Then cubelock was my main stuff. Recently tried some druid and war and shaman. Only golden hero is mage though.

So I definitely feel your pain bro.
Post count is right below your character! How can you miss that. Maybe because it is in grey?
I think to survive all the aggro decks currently swarming the meta you also need some healing.
From your replays it looks like a kind of swarm mage :) nice work.
