Zarimi text was already saying “once per game”.

When Time Warp Mage was in standard, as I recall, the Time Warp was a one time benefit. Getting to take an extra turn is a pretty powerful advantage, and given that all you had to do was play six spells that didn’t start in your hand, a pretty cheap reward.
But as time went on, it became possible to play endless turns, and not only that, you could get the reward extremely cheaply. The Biscuit was a favorite method of getting an easy no cost spell towards the reward, and it wasn’t the only one. Those tactics actually made me want to request that the devs add an emoji that would say “Cheap!” whenever anyone did that sort of thing.
So it’s a cheap quest, you get an auto win when you hit it, and the only counter is aggro or Theotar(thank goodness for Theotar), and it was the very definition of a solitaire deck. Even with aggro, there were just too many cheap delaying tactics time warp mage could use. Toxic, solitaire, cheap. The three deadly sins that should have led to a nerf immediately.
Glad they finally killed it dead.

I’ll just wish you luck. Secret mage is possible. If you play long enough, you will either get bots that misplay or players that do.
They nerfed it as well, so it’s pretty crummy sailing against real players. Auto lose to any face deck pretty much.
Beyond that there is nothing.
I think it’s pretty funny that “unplayable” is the new bar for mage lol.
Tell it to Team 5. Apparently Priest is fine with the same strategy that everyone hates in mage.
Then again; everyone is fine with every strategy, as long as it isn’t mage, and I can demonstrate that reliably.
And Players here say I’m the one fixated with a portrait. lol.
I’m glad it’s gone in mage. I just think it’s the height of hypocrisy for it to be allowed in Priest.
Another thing that I can’t help remarking on here is the fact that other classes can play multiple Branns, Zephryses, Reno’s, etc. and all of that is fine, 'cause: “wild is wild”,
But anytime mage repeats literally anything then it’s: “too good” lol.
Priest is running an absolutely stupid, steal /highlander deck right now in wild that would never be allowed even a week in mage.
Warlock is running a Quest deck that again, would not be allowed in mage.
I could go on and on.
The hypocrisy is glaring at this point.
he always acts as if other classes dont get nerfed
and
did you notice he never mentions since release zarimi had the “once per game” restriciton which time warp didnt had for years
I’m glad Zarimi has that restriction, and thank you for letting me know, even if you did it vicariously.
Not having played priest since Standard was created, it’s pretty common for me not to know things like this.
I appreciate the information:)
I agree with you here honestly.

I had completely forgot about that lol. Woops, should maybe read the card in full detail. Thanks for the correction!
Now that they’ve opened the “once per game” pandora’s box they will inevitably have to change other cards to “once per game”. The only way to close that box will be to undo the Time Warp change.
I think several cards need this treatment if the game is to be a game instead of a yt meme fest.
