The Mage Problem

I’d argue unless you are 60 effective life or more, post turn 8 or so no life total can be safe. Even 60 is not safe. I’ve had so many games vs druid sitting at 30 health only to have them find alexstra and otk me out of nowhere.

That’s Hearthstone for you, wait long enough and you will just lose to some RNG highroll.

Even BSM is insane with highrolls, getting the 6/7 attack face off the sun volley can easily close out games.

Yeah but, the original deck is the fastest deck in the game and it may literally draw the literal Renathal card which is devastating to that kind of speed deck.

And I’m not familiar closely with the deck but adding 10 cards means 9 of them will not be as good as the first 30 (and the 10th Renathal super bad).

It’s a decent 3-drop in lack of a better one xD

3 mana 3/4 won’t become a game-loser for quite some time

It’s horrible. The deck is literally 4 to 5 minutes average game time. It can not afford any bad card on any of the turns.

The stew loses it’s flavor when too much water is put in, instead of throwing in 9 overpriced lifesteal cards, one must instead opt to recklessly throw in a completely different flavor to counteract the stout Horseradish/unfriendly flavor they can’t seem to remove no matter how much they stir the pot.
By all accounts Renehal should have been the kiss of death for my shaman deck, yet by throwing in 2 excavate kobolds, 2 Caricature artists, Leeroy and Jepto as backup designated “Thot slayers” and realizing razzle dazzler is a thing I coulda used ages ago- and by vehemently sticking to my own rules of “How far can I get using draw support to find one of my designated “Thot Slayer” legendaries CONSISTENTLY instead of sticking with the Thot train that every deck needs to be too fat to move and MUST include Marin for you to MAYBE stand up and crush the opponent under your immense weight if given a drip, a wheelchair, and the second coming of Jesus.” Somehow I doubled the win rate on the deck!
So there’s your answer fellas. If you wanna beep beep like a sheep, get yourself the razor and start removing fluff until you can’t possibly fall out of step from tripping over yourself mid dance.
Ask yourself not why the game feels like solitaire. If it feels like you are being asked for an “answer” to a “problem” Then the game looking like Solitaire or Go Fish means everything is working as intended.
If it feels like the entire fate of the game relies on both of you dealing out the entirety of your decks and hoping you or they do or don’t draw one very specific card to be declared the winner. Regardless of that one card’s importance to the overall flow of the match or not…
By definition of rules if the winner of the match depends on which player demands to see their manager first, and the loser of the match is always the person who was still waiting for their manager to come out of their deck or their hand. You are not playing Solitaire, You’re playing Old Maid. Whoever still hasn’t thrown the Old Lady or Old Manager out is always the loser. That isn’t a “problem” one could “answer”. Their problem is they ended the game still holding the Old Maid, or they found it way too late.
