It occurs to me that while every other secret class can cast secrets for free, mage really can’t.
Hunter: Cloaked Huntress, Titanforged Traps, Phase Stalker,
Spring the Trap, Tavis, and Product 9.
Pally: Desperate Measures, Hydrologist, Sword of the Fallen, Rhyssa, Bellringer Sentry, Mysterious challenger
Rogue: Perjury, Hanar, Private Eye.
There may be more. I got tired.
You know what Mage has that makes secrets free?
Or plays secrets free, other than by just dumb luck?
Two cards that never get played at all.
Team 5…

Literally one of the first cards ever made for the game has next mage secret played costs 0, I forget the name but it’s a 3 mana 4/3
They also used to have the 1 mana 2/1 that made it cost 0, but I think they nerfed it sometime
They also have the 2 mana spell that draws a secret and makes it cost 0
Probably more too but I don’t really play Mage so idk

yeah because paying 3 mana to play a 3 mana secret is so good in today’s game, lol.
Yeah kabal lackey got murdered
And ancient mysteries costs three mana and does not play the secret on its turn. it is weak too.
Or looked at another way, a 0 mana 4/3, which is actually pretty good

It used to be good. A long, long, time ago.
But ty for correcting me:)
Those cards haven’t seen play in so many years I forgot they exist.
Iirc, it wasn’t even good long ago, it only got better as cards in the game got better and secrets became viable

Well, you were right though. There are cards that make mage secrets free. They just suck is all.
Kind of like the last two secrets mage got. Both garbage.
I guess after objection Team 5 got scared to give mage a secret worth playing.
So they diluted the pool to make objection weaker on discovery.
ancient mysteries only costs 2 and makes the secret it draws cost zero

you pretend to be a mage player and dont know the card ancient mysteries exist ? how is that even possible ?

But you are generally forced to wait a turn and the secret you get is random.
Not great. Just meh.
You pretend to be something you aren’t every day here.
Now scamper along.
most people dont put cards into their decks without looking at them…or do you think this card is random generation for some reason

There’s always Mad Scientist too (but that’s for everyone, it’s just the most value in Mage) love that card

Most people don’t interact with players they dislike.
But here you are…
Mad is a great card. One of the best the real Team 5 ever made:)

there’s also the Reliquiary researcher, 4 mana 3/5 which summons 2 secrets
It’s not exactly free, since you have to excavate twice and the stats are worth slightly less than 4 mana, but close enough

I just really wish I had a card that plays a secret every time I use my HP.
Or a card that replays all my secrets played previously.
Why are those fine for other classes but not mine?

well mage has the strongest secrets in the game so that must be a reason why didnt get a card to do it (objection ,ice block )
who knows maybe someday itll get one
instead im hoping for mage to get a " turn ending " secret something that ends my opponent turn after they play 3 cards
forgot to ask which one are the rogue and paladin "replay all secrets "card ?

how would that work?
3 cards. minions, spells, or both?
I’m intrigued.
It sounds powerful:)

it would mess with long combos by "clicking " their end turn button after they play the 3rd card
