Don't play Amulet Mech Mage

On my F2P account (US). I decided I wanted to hit Legend this season. Although things are going well (64.3% WR over 90 games and D7 3*s). I have to say, it’s the most boring deck I think I’ve played this meta, and I’ve tried everything but pirate warrior.

Players complained constantly about mage, and their ability to win from hand, this is the result of that. A curvestone deck with literally one interesting card in it (mecha shark) and one powerful card in it (Seafloor Gateway).

The power level of the deck isn’t even that strong. I’m probably in the top 1% of WRs with 64.3% and that will likely drop as I approach legend and play more accomplished players and run into more Demon Hunters on the climb.

The deck literally plays, 1 drop, 2 drop (or coin Seafloor if you have a few good mechs in hand), 3 drop, etc. It feels like playing an arena deck against people with stronger and more interesting decks to play.

Literally the only decision you have is when to Seafloor or when to Shark. It’s boring.

How do people prefer this playstyle? To me it’s literally braindead.

If that doesn’t lose you the game right then and there, it might just win it for you a couple turns later.

Why should anyone play amulet in mech mage?
Mechs alone are good enough to win and with the 3 mana minion you can tutor draw a spell from your deck (so amulet makes the deck worse)

You have minions, you can discover new ones and you have to plan when to play them and how to trade (or when to use shark).
It’s an interesting concept that was gone during UiS OTK days, when people just drew all their deck to win on turn 6 :joy:

I prefer this playstyle to the ones we had with the previous meta.
The only boring thing is that mechs are very limited, so I bet my deck is 99% identical to others mech mage lists (I don’t have the legendary, but everything else is literally whatever synergizes with mechs).
Since the deck is stale by nature, it gets old quickly; reno decks are my favourite because I can change whatever I want whenever I want, since I have many options

this doesn’t make any sense to me (it’s rare that I get to turn 10 without having a massive advantage or a massive disadvantage), but if it’s true congrats to who managed to make it work :joy:

It has good synergy with Balinda and also Deepwater Evoker. That might be partly why. It does perform badly versus Naga Demon Hunter, however.

the fact is that Balinda to me seems like a very bad card here and I use deepwater evokeronly to draw the 3 mana spell specifically.

I can’t think of a game I played where a turn 3 evoker drawing amulet would have changed the outcome of the game in my favour; playing balinda on turn 6, wait a turn and then summon 2 random dragons that have no synergy with the rest of the deck doesn’t look great either to me.

You make a fair point. I can’t say why Amulet Mech Mage is better. It looks like it does better versus Control Warrior and Quest Hunter, though (better than Mech Mage does).

Amulet is way stronger. Evoker is nowhere near the power of Balinda, you also don’t have to card that draws for armour. Mech Mage is even worse and even more boring than Am Mech Mage
