You have waaaayyy to many 1 mana drops IMO.

Get rid of Cog and get rid of Unstable Portal. Add in two secrets and two mad scientists.

Secrets are one of the top reasons to play Mage, and you aren't even running any.

Personally I'd ditch Wyrm as well and run something else.

PS: I'm not top tier, but let me post my deck in a sec.

What?

Cogmaster is insane value and becomes #1 to target in mech mage.

Some mech mages can benefit from Wyrm since Mages run so many spells. If anything, consider adding the tinkertown technician.

Sorry, but all of this is terrible advice imo. Dropping Cogmaster is insane, and secrets are way too slow for mech mage nowadays.

I'd remove the Flamestrike and the intellects for 2 Fel Reaver and 1 Tinkertown, or 2 Tinkertown and 1 Fel if you don't have 2.

Let me preface by saying I didn't say he should stay mech.

That being said he isn't fully mech mage anyways. He's running wyrm and portal, and he isn't running yeti.

I also think secrets at his rank provide so much easy value, and most people at that rank don't know how to play around them.

The point is he either needs to add in secrets or else drop wyrm and portal for more mech stuff like tinkertown and yeti. Either way the idea of losing all card draw is stupid.

First brawl match was against a Golden freeze mage. Easy win as combo druid.

This brawl should be renamed "OTK or GTFO" since it is designed for shitty non-interactive bullshit decks.

I dunno. My brawl was an incredible match between my Demon Handlock and a Demon Zoolock, which I won by forcing my opponent into fatigue while both us had been on ~10HP for most of the match (we intentionally lowered out HP to prevent/force as many random additions as possible).

Brawl is dumb.

Just had a Face Rogue, and the minions spawned were all 1/1 drops.

Guess this is a zoo warlock's week.

Tried playing the brawl and the game froze up 4 times. I had to close the app and reconnect only for it to freeze between turns every time a new turn started. Eventually, I just gave up. Anyone else having any problems?

I told people long ago that this brawl would be dominated by Warlock. You could also try out Freeze Mage though, that should also be effective in this format.

Aggro-control Rogue works too. Blade flurry, Dark Iron Skulker, low curve, weapon buffs, and hit often. If it against handlock you just go aggressive while clearing his minions.

Makes world leading predictions like "The sun will rise tomorrow"
Dreadsteed Warlock seems to do pretty good in the latest brawl. You can play early game stuff in order to deal with the aggressive decks and then you can use sacrificial pact and healbot to bounce back from low health in the late game. Or you can get out insane value from your Dreadsteeds against more control oriented decks. Not sure how it compares against handlock though. Probably not well....

Just tried out arena for the first time in a long while, and the first time I used Hearth Arena for drafting. Was my best run ever at 9-3.

Got 260 gold and a TGT pack. Much more fun than constructed... but I had a pretty decent Warlock deck.

Trying to play Midrange Hunter, and I keep getting Threaten emotes of people thinking I'm playing Face.

Meanwhile people are just playing decks that spam the board.

LOL just beat a Freeze Mage with my F2P Priest in the tavern brawl on the EU server. Milled his Alexstrasza and healed him the whole game until the end when I got him down to 1 health with double mind blast.

I actually considered conceding once I saw it was Freeze Mage because I thought: "There is no way I can beat this."

Arena:

Turn 2: wild pyro
Turn 3: muster for battle

I still almost lost to them. Fuck paladin.

I was playing Rogue earlier today, and I don't know how to deal with Muster for Battle without FoK or Blade Flurry in arena.

Lost so much tempo clearing the minions.

Question. Why are you avoiding arena? I'm curious.

You might want to try arena now since it's slowed down a bit.
Click to expand...

Wanted to get something decent from the TGT expansion first, since I still barely have anything useful yet. I've hardly ever played arena though, usually just buy packs with my gold. Or is arena more lucrative?

Speaking of fuck paladin, just had my first 12 win run in arena.

I mostly played arena when I started HS in general but post BRM barely touched it. I think my highest before was 9, but I knew right after this draft that deck was really good so I'm glad I pulled it off.

Well now... this Tavern Brawl is pretty shenanigans. I thought I was going to die to this Warlock because he had a buffed Floating Watcher on 8/8 and a Pit Lord from Bane of Doom plus at the start of his turn summoned some random Rogue minion. He had 8 health left and because I had a 6/5 Shielded Minibot from double Avenge and another 7/7 minion, he could not Life Tap. Out of desperation the previous turn I used Lay on Hands on myself and immediately summoned Annoy-o-tron just so I won't die to an OTK.

I have one secret left. He plays Jaraxxus and Repentence triggers, putting him at 1 HP. I NEVER KNEW IT COUNTED!



Well met!

Playing anything but cancer in the ladder is just depressing. I remember a time when Auchenai + circle was a strong play against aggro...

The meta is beyond fixing at this point.

So many mech mages on ladder yet I see a GAFer whining about not winning here.

Everything is aggro.

Nobody wants to play fatigue games unless it was a Paladin with Divine Favor.

The meta has not changed at all on ladder.

Almost like people want to get off as soon as possible. It's disgusting.

I am not whining about "not winning". I can cancer my way to legend any day I want, but I've already done that and would like to play nice matches instead of having endless aggro mirrors or playing straight up hate decks. I mean MC paladin is a good example of shit deck. It's incredibly weak until it plays MC. If it doesn't, I could crush it with an average arena deck :)
