Love it! No minions mage is back and I’m here for it. I started playing with Barrens and Lunacy mage was actually the first deck I made. Can’t wait.
I gotta say most classes look really fun and it’s looking like they moved away from very stone-set archetypes to allow more deckbuilding freedom. Love this trend.
Last reveals are out soon after I posted.
So it turns out I was right that there’s no more new frost spell.
And it turns out mages didn’t steal from priest. Only priest gets to betray mage and mage just have to sit there and take it. I’m right again 
Anyways, no minion mage… looks to be a greedy pop off deck, with a pinch of clown circus. If mage isn’t pressured enough in the first 5 or 6 turns, they could get manufacturing error, which leads to a 10 mana spell on turn 7, and then they cast yogg in the box on 8 (that’s the clown circus).
The discount makes frost lich usable too. 2 mana deal 4, possibly summon 4 drop.
Weapon and spot the difference will also provide some early minions.
The strategy seems to be “throw spells over and over and hope you win”
Viable or not, that’s very much a mage thing.
In Elementals.
Khadgar is a strong Legendary for the deck and will provide quite the assistance.
I wonder if you play a 5-mana spell for 2, does it count as 2-mana spell or 5-mana spell for the legendary spell?
Actually clueless 
For that type of card It is the original cost.
i think it ll be the only 8 mana spell mage will have not sure how good itll be until we know the spell pool
be ready for people thinking its bugged because its random spells wont target enemies only
it happened with rune of archmage and box of yogg
Well, it has been ever since Amazing Reno, when team 5 started murdering everything else.
Let’s not forget history.
And after looking at Yogg Box. how is it good?
It’s any spell, not just mage spells, right?
So it’s just another roulette wheel.
You did not account for powercreep.
Nowadays high cost spells aren’t symetric anymore and there is little to none single target.
So this card will at minimal wype the opponents board regardless of what is there.
will powercreep save me when the spells hit my board or face?
They aren’t even targetable. So yes.
I remember puzzle box. I dont remember loving it.
Once again mage gets win from RNG and everyone else gets straight stats and crush your face.
I wish they would have gone all in this expansion on the ‘no minion’ mage if they wanted to do that… I dont think 3 cards is enough for that deck to ever take off… so it means 6-8 months of waiting until they add enough support cards to where it may become semi-viable… but I just dont see how it gets through 40 armor on an odyn warrior who is easily cycling through their deck because the no minion mage is putting up 0 pressure the entire game.
They aren’t gonna’ add anything. Next expansion they will reinvent the class yet again. They have done the same thing now for at least 5 years.
Players aren’t kidding when they say team 5 hates mage.
Anyone who cannot see it refuses to see.
I have been talking to players way better than me.
All of them say this is just more meme junk for mage.
It toke a few months and a new expansion for the original no minion Mage to reach critical mass and become a powerhouse.
I did a legend run with it after that from Diamond 5 to Legend with 0 lost matchs.
No minion Mage at its peak was insane good,and they didnt give up on it back then.
Right after it got nerfed to oblivion but it had its time under the sun 100%.
I’ll bet money they abandon the cards they released today and go a completely different direction next release.
I have heard: “wait until next expansion” now for years.
They aren’t ever going to give mage anything but: “roll the dice and pray”.
And even that will get nerfed if it wins too much to suit rogues, shamans and druids.
I just want my card back so I can have something to show for ten (almost 11) years of this crap.
Incanters Flow was 2 mana for 2 expansions and then Refreshing Spring Water came.
So support did came for the deck, and it was the best draw Mage ever gotten and ever will at this rate.
People are talking about Manufaturing Error like its something amazing for Mage but the OG RSW puts that card in the dirt.
I remember. 
Then they murdered both so hard they are not playable at all, and refused to revert either card in Wild.
Like i have pointed out many times.
Rogue can play anything it wants in Wild because all of its cards work together over ten years.
Mage has a crazy quilt of situational cards that do not, and the ones that do work in multiple decks? have been nerfed so hard they are useless.
Over ten years mage has two playable decks in Wild.
Rogue has four at least and probably more.
All of that is down to Team 5.
Well thats the problem with Mage it tends to be card killing nerfs, Incanters flow got a 2 mana increase to kill it for good.
They love to go that route with Mage cards, here eat another 2 mana increase nerf and be done with it.
But thats not the point No Minion Mage is very popular and if we go by past records it will get support.
This isnt Fire Mage that was left in the dirt with Antonidas…
Well, I’m not waiting any more. Five years of waiting for team 5 to treat mage better than garbage is five years too long.
They know exactly what they are doing, and I’m tired of players pretending that it isn’t intentional.
also, Excavate Mage has a strong package now with some of the freeze cards + khadgar + rotating stuff
