Standard Elemental Mage - navigating some match up

Hello,

I need some help in a few match-up playing Elemental Mage.

I came back to the game a week ago, crafted the cheapest deck available and Elemental Mage it was.

I am now back at Diamond 7 and struggling in a few match-up, even though my overall win % is still pretty good.

vs Warriors

All is good when I start first at 5-1 but whenever I go second, I’m at a wonderful 1-3 and I can’t seem to be able to build any preassure.

vs Mage

I struggle deeply in the mage vs mage game. I haven’t played a lot, only 4 but I’m at 1-3…

vs Paladin

Same logic as Warrior. It seems to be fine when I go first, where I went 4-1, but when I go second I’m 1-3.

Overall, my win rate when going 1st is a lot better than when going 2nd.

19-7 when I go first
19-12 when I go second
