Over many expansions mage has recived many powerfull low cost minions and countless ways to lower costs of spells.
You cant have the most damage from hand in the game along with powefull low cost minions that just is not balance.
Just watched a mage have a full board and a 7/7 on turn 3 not much u can do at that point with another varant.
Its super easy to get unlimited damage frim hand with frozen touch as well.
The vatiant below has control aggro and extreamly strong damage from hand. Dont know why they gave mage more low cost damage spells. (Mana Bolt)
The fact that this is even a achtype shows the direction the devs are trying to take the game.this deck is also a t1 one deck not a meme deck at a 59% win rate in last 24 hours. At Legend rank! Not many have played it compaired to the more popular decks.
Im sure we gonna be seeing this a lot soon.
This is what happens when priest and warrior are both poop.
The devs want fast passed games i get but this is a bit much. A slap in the face if you ask me.

End the end deck deck is fun af to play you trash your enemys and get to legend with ease. Im on a 9/0 win streak right now.
This meta legit needs priest and warrior back in and everything will balance out.
Decks that those 2 would of kept in check are having extreamly high win rates from the lack of those 2 classes right now.
It is very strong and I am honestly having a blast with it, but I wouldnāt be concerned about its powerlevel. It has limited draw and if you manage to survive its damage bursts it can get out of steam and flop.
I have been playing it a lot and I win against much of the current meta, but I lose against blood dk and big spell mage basically every time; and frost DK is a really close matchup. It has very hard counters that can prey on it if it ever becomes too popular; and itās helpful to keep aggro druid and implock in check.
Oh no mages are winning games.
Red alert, red alert!
We need a hotfix for yesterday!
Jokes aside there isnāt really anything wrong with people needing to play proactively for once.

Aggro mage has always existed.
Remember manawyrm, sorc apprentice, flamewaker, arcane missiles?
Mechmage? The old mech mage, not sunken city one.
There was even a murloc aggro mage for a while.

Players are probably more polarized with this deck because the majority of it is just spells going straight to the face. With this deck and Frost DK in the meta simultaneously its got to be jarring.

It is a symptom of the Aggro disease Blizzard has infested itself with. Another great bathroom deck.
I just donāt understand why Blizzard keep enabling decks that are just frustrating to play against.
If I lose, I lose but sitting there watching somebody spam spells into the face isnāt fun.
There should be counter play and competition for the board.

Dude big Spell Mage has been good for a bit so no-one has been waiting. 4 years for a good Mage deck. It is a cheap Aggro deck so that is why everyone is going bananas over it. It really is sad because people have not appreciated the big spell mage deck at all and now this flashy new aggro deck is what people are noticing? What a shame.
Big spell mage is not fast, nor is it straight forward.
It is powerful, but you must know how to play around a great deal of opponents.
The current aggro mage is point and shoot.

Yeah that is why people are so excited. Its one of these no thought aggro decks. I personally think its a shame cause I think Big Spell Mage is great.
Discounted the deal 8 damage to a minion spell summon a minon blah blah hit a 1 health minion with it made a 7/7 rare high roll bit yeahā¦ its a fun deck for sure.
But like iv beeing saying would not be a thing if priest and warrior were playable right now.
Starting to think this deck is not ok. Cause no aggro should be able 2 otk from hand as well.

Every class has received a deck like this over the years.
Itās just mageās turn after a long wait.
Considering there is still zero counter play to spells, yeah it is kind of a problem for spell based face decks to be too strong.
This is also why I donāt like Frost DK much either.
One of the most fun new decks this expansion.
Better to play as / vs āaggroā mages and frost DKs, than depression / vomit inducing ramp druids, blood Dks and quest priests (thankfully lately they arenāt as popular).
There are much less toxic DHs as well, so Iām actually enjoying the game this week.
Iām playing pure paladin and aggro/arcane mage decks now, and I realised Iām counting damage and making decisions every turn, because one mistake vs these aggro decks and youāre done. So much fun as opposed just being a spectator to your board getting cleared turn after turn while they heal/gain 80 armor in the process.
I wish these ācontrolā decks get combo deck treatment and just die already.
Cool if you enjoy it and having fun.
This meta just isnāt for me. I tried pure pally and I got bored of it really fast.
Too much depends on draw.
