Afternoon, American folk.
Help a brother out that just came back into the game.
I see this Protoss nonsense all over my screen along with this Colossus card, and can’t help but wonder if anyone has actually tried to make it work.
I am not expecting some hidden gem that is actually Tier 1, but something fun that one can enjoy.
Thanks for your help, friends.
P.S. Other continents can help too.
I did a bit of a breakdown of a deck I have been using with protoss mage
This version has worked best for me. It’s not a crazy strong deck, but I can go about 50:50 with it in top 1k.
Link to deck: https://www.hsguru.com/deck/25963966
it’s more spell heavy than you would first expect. so you need to really focus on playing protoss spells & getting the cost of the colossus down as much as possible as quickly as possible. draw is important for this reason, both what you get when & how quickly you can draw out your cards. so i’d suggest really just practicing & figuring out which cards will work best for your playing style when matched with the core protoss package
It feels in terms of power like playing a typical libram paladin. It has some synergies that sound impressive but the end game doesn’t have big numbers or great defense.
I think Priest is way more powerful with Colossus because it has more powerful stealing and other “trolling” spells against the opponent so it stays alive for longer.
PS Priest doesn’t have Colossus in the deck, but it can find it.
priest is worse of. 20 bla bla
Easily better than the mage Protoss. But it’s not great against the meta in general, because it may not find Colossus immediately.
If it found Colossus immediately it would be easily Tier 1, maybe Tier S if it was refined.
It’s pretty much like old freeze mage except, you will need much more protoss spells and not that much freeze effect, hence as a substitute most people use the elemental that gives you armor by freezing 1 tall minion.
The deck can’t afford to run blizzard or frost nova since you have to add as many spell generator like rewind etc, Bob is another solid card for this deck.

feel free to change out whatever you want
The slow versions of this deck definitely feel more like the unplayable ones, especially with shaman and warrior being everywhere.
most of my games end around 9 mana,
so if it goes past turn 12
you are in for some trouble for sure
protoss mage definitely playable, mogkupopo hit legend with it this season.
i dont really count hitting legend on day 2 of a season due to what 10 stars? not exactly a hard thing to do
we both were 11 stars though yeah maybe not that hard, but the meta is quite frustrating, i was mainly playing 4 decks(zerg huunter/ fizzle shaman/ hp druid/ zerg dk) to get there and it was frustrating.
Yeah, I’m just waiting for the next balance patch I think. I do not enjoy playing this meta. The bonus stars aren’t going anywhere.
my thought exactly, i freakin hate playing against mandarin shaman the chinese seems to like playing the greediest version of shaman decks with ghosts and dirty rats
fizzle needs a nerf, other than that the meta feels pretty good
snapshot should decay if copied, kinda like when you copy a image now, it just loses more and more pixels
It’s not just fizzle. The non-infinite version is stronger into everything but warrior.
It’s equally unfun to play against.
I don’t get what’s the benefit of 10 stars. It’s still no benefit in D5. It’s 11X that is a breeze to Legend.
