So, I wanted to see what the expert deck builders thought.
In Wild, would a Mage disruption deck be viable?
Is a win condition possible just from denying the opponents’ strategy?
Hoping the crafters here will show off and post decks that might work:)

I tried with Skeleton Disruption Mage before. Not sure if it works today.

No. The disruption available in the game is too limited and inefficient for any kind of deck built around disrupting the opponents strategy from functioning above like 20% win rate. Unless of course your opponents win condition is fragile and all tied up in 1 basket that a fart in their general direction disrupts that win condition and renders the entire deck useless. But no one seriously run a deck with that fragile of a win condition outside of making meme videos for views.

No, because aggro in Wild continues to get faster and better, as do OTK combos. Control/Disruption is always entirely too slow and doesn’t get better at the same pace that aggro and OTK does.
This is why Control decks in wild really don’t exist. It’s pretty much aggro and combo.
Unless they make Health larger or Armor accessible to everyone at Warrior type of levels, Control decks just won’t work, and Mage Control certainly won’t work.
Your only hope of a “Disruption” Mage deck is to hope Secrets for Mage get some huge massive buff (like being able to have the same secret twice and cheaper). Until then, it’s not worth trying.

Warrior has cards like Call to the Stand and Disruptive Spellbreaker (hey disruption is in the name)
Shaman can make use of tech cards again with Shudderwock and Brilliant Macaw
Warlock has cards like Gnomeferatu, Altar of Fire and Immolate
Even Rogue has Savory Deviate Delight
Mage has… Objection? Sure you could put in the neutral tech cards but Mage doesn’t really have anything beyond that besides some secrets
If you want disruption deck, Mage is probably not the class for that.

That being said, I did find this Mage Disruption Deck on Hearthpwn:

Take out the Ice Barriers for Objections and maybe this could work?

Needs Theotar and Brann as well IMO.

So, I tried this deck. I honestly think Schyla’s deck that he helped me build is better than this.
It doesn’t have as much disruption, but a whole lot more board control and burn.
Thanks for considering and explaining.
