The druid spell where you give the 2/2 trees as a deathrattle is awesome. Got flamestriked and the guy thought he cleared my board. Nope. 7 2/2s on board. He conceded as soon as I played savage roar the next turn.

druid is by far the most broken class in this. it seems my opponents routinely just get crzy opens with like coin/innervate/soul of forest or power of the wild etc.

I love this one. Hunter is my favorite and maybe even best (probably not but maybe), more removal than mage? Explosive Shot is megaleet and so is Deadly Shot. I Deadly Shot deathwing lol. Also with all the mage get flare.

I've been crushing with hunter too. Had a couple mages drop Antonidas on me, but it was always too little too late.

Druid and Mage are by far the best at this, both have tons of good spells, many of which are higher mana cost.

Priest and Warlock are also ok, but not quite as good as the other two.

Best one so far!

I even kept playing it after getting my pack. There were lots of druids.

Snake trap x1

Twas also fun to play cobra shot for the first time ever.

Mine is similar but I think it's better with 1 Mark + 1 Arcane and +2 Highmane. I also don't run snake trap, using a Gladiator Longbow for fun mostly - but also great burst and more removal. Most of the games I've played I was able to build a huge board and then clear my opponents too. I went 8-2 with hunter after failing with priest. Mage gets owned by hunter. They legit have less removal until turn 6. But you drop Highmane and laugh at flamestrikes.

I haven't played any ladder games since this one came out yet. I will soon, but this is too fun.

Loremaster Cho is the worst. I swear he's the only reason I've lost.

Huntard just gets it done this week. Bremen beat me 3 or 4 in a row when I was playing mage.

3 before you ragequit

Biggest problem with mage, imo, is all the worms/flamewakers/antonidas. These are all powerful cards with spell synergy, but the problem is they're not spells. So when you use a turn to drop them you're often not doing anything else and the turn is way underpowered compared to what a spell + free creature gives.

My memory may be faulty because all the mages I've played blend together, but you def dropped Antonidas on me (kept going on about getting fireballs). I thought you were running flamewakers too? Could be wrong I guess.

I'd argue even flamewaker is suboptimal.

Alright I'm starting to get the hang of it I think. Max out on spells esp low mana cost spells, round out with low mana minions once spell cards are depleted, profit
