Mage is really OP this patch, needs nerf ASAP

I don’t know why so many insist on clutching their pearls over this deck.
It will get nerfed very soon.
Team 5 has run the exact same pattern for mage for years now.
I guess players have really short memories.

Honestly, if it didn’t, the card would need to naturally cost like, 6 Mana in order to be playable.

That reason is a poorly designed mini set that only created one new powerful deck that people had been itching to play. The deck has been declining in both win rate and frequency since it peaked the day after the expansion launch.

This is false, as it’s one of the best decks to beat this mage deck with. It’s actually the highest win rate deck in diamond through legend according to HSGuru.

Like last meta yaa that turned out great like for Druid and pally

Get with the program some classes get a pass and others dont.
Moving on.

I might be crazy, but I really don’t think BSM should be nerfed. It’s fine. It’s a fast deck with some very crazy turns, but I’m arguably sure that any nerf will see it plummet to oblivion.

Meanwhile the rest of us were over here farming them.

They should just kill the mage deck, and stop pretending they have any interest in balance or fair play.
The deck is an atrocity, and seemingly designed to make players hate facing mages even more.
I think the deck is just a really crummy bone that they threw to mage players, and only reinforces what I have always said.
I would beg Brian Kibler on my hands and knees if I thought We could have him for head of design instead of what ever passes today.

I was farming them with weapon rogue which can’t even fight mage now

On the contrary they need to buff mage. They need to make skyla 1 mana and buff dj manastorm to be 1 mana as well.

THey might as well go full bore on the mana cheat nonsense and fast forward to what the game will be like in a year so those of us who dont enjoy that sort of gameplay can just move on.

lol I think they need to restore mage, and then they might not have to resort to busted cards like this in order to have a winning deck once in awhile.

The problem is the mana cheat endemic isnt just mage… warrior/druid to a lesser extent rogue (sonya)/shaman (nostalgia)/hunter (egg)…

You nerf mage then people just rotate to those decks…I mean they’ll never do it but it was nice when cards had a design philosophy… cards had x amount of mana to assign to them – .5 mana was worth a keyword… another mana a battlecry effect and so forth.

This was uncalled for, completely. They have proven time and time again they can just as easily slow down the meta as they can speed it up.

And this was a call for them to speed it up so like I said those of us who do not enjoy this sort of mana cheat highroll game play can see that it is the new normal and move on.
