[@Bahatmogan]

In the first game, you conceded at a point where you weren't dead. You still had a chance at the combo with the simulacrum in hand and the molten reflection in the deck, plus the arcane intellect from the cabalist's tome. Yes, it was a gamble on the next 4 cards, but you still had a chance.

[@tywinlannister8015]

Game 1 : Secret Mage says "Get Rekt son". Game 2 : Control Warlock says "Where's your Antonidas now bitch ?" Game 3 : Kripp says "Who cares about Consecration ?"

"Quest mage is one of the funniest decks to play" Kripp, what the fuck?

[@doubled6490]

MrAndyman112 you just play everything you got funn

[@simbadas1234]

he said 'funnest' not funniest.

[@csabavas3113]

Still funner than Jade Druid lol

[@MrAndyman112]

Shenro my bad, but still Quest mage and any form of the word "fun" should not be in the same sentence

[@DeadKavaiol]

Kripp was always a control sucker. So yes he will enjoy winning with a control deck, even if it filled with cancer.

[@Deathmagic14]

Yeah yeah im here ffs

WELL PLAYED!

Someones a little bitter he's not seeing any play the last 3 expansions.... ill never dust you bro, i know you'll be back

[@OMGAPC9]

Man I am glad to see how this deck has been revamped in the Frozen throne expansion.

[@auxin1239]

What deck tracker does kripp use? His looks so nice!

[@lindonhajdaraj3293]

he usese hearthstone deck tracker but hasnt updated it

[@auxin1239]

lindon hajdarai is there a way to get his version? Mine is just too plain unlike his.

[@akaliislifeakaliislove5968]

[@dsemiraro]

What are your thoughts on the new Simulacrum card in this deck? I've been trying to find a good fit

[@abzonline2410]

Exodia mage and old quest rogue, "fun and interactive"

[@Pizzamanpk5]

How does it look like old quest rogue?

[@ryukaganzeroful]

exodia mage isn't an easy deck to play. unless you practice with it, you will lose a shit ton. believe me. trying to climb through ladder with exodia mage is useless unless you're really fucking good, considering the amount of aggro in meta. token druid, for some reason still pirate warrior, hunter decks in general. I could go on. it's not just a cheese deck it requires great reads on your opponent, and reads on your win conditions, with a level of preciseness that is not found in meta decks right now. pick up the deck. try it. then come and talk some shite brev

[@maxwu4145]

Ryukagan Zero you sound like a salty quest mage main who thinks it takes skill to play solotaire with your freeze cards

[@ryukaganzeroful]

actually i usually main miracle rogue or dragon paladin. just have respect for the deck is all, having played it quite a bit. you sound like someone who has never tried the deck and is just salty you keep playing into frostnovas and blizzards.

[@maxwu4145]

Ryukagan Zero how should i play around frostnova/blizzard? These are the 3 scenarios i go in with quest mage 1. Go wide on the board, hoping for no frost nova 2. Do nothing and let them get closer to there combo 3.playing a control deck and have not enough minions that apply pressure, allowing more turns for my inevitable OTK. So as you can see, the only real counter to quest mage is aggro. And that sucks because i hate aggro, but i might start playing aggro for the soul purpose of defeating this scumbag deck. Oh did i mention ice block haha. A card that should read "oh you wanted a honorable win this turn well to bad you cant."

[@greindes1579]

Yay, very entertaining exodia mage with million ice blocks!

[@Mathmachine]

Now that we have both Exodia Mage and Paladin, I wonder how long til we get an Exodia mechanic for all the other classes? It could be argued we had that for Priest already, but that was a LOT more convoluted and I don't think was really an Exodia style thing per-say.

[@TopPotato109]

Quest mage and quest rogue AKA play with yourself

[@doubled6490]

Top Potato no interactions = plaay alone

[@Lardo137]

Not anymore for Quest Rogue, unless they want to lose.

[@Noobie2k7]

The game is becoming more and more like Yu-gi-oh lol. Atleast it can't have super mastabatory ftk decks

[@denistt1]

thats why it's considered "skillful". it's like learning to play a single player minigame in hearthstone.

[@theodoremurdock9984]

Eh, quest mage is a lot more interactive than rogue was. Quest Rogue was super frustrating because it was usually either "oh, quest rogue...this is an auto win, why aren't they conceding?" or "oh, quest rogue, guess I'm losing this one", since the matchups were super polarized. But I just beat quest mage this morning with my no-ultimate jade druid, even though it's supposed to be a druid counter...it feels to me like there's still play and counter-play.

[@intropperinokripperino456]

Hey guys how's it going Kripparrian here today I wanna give you guys the highlights of my games playing QUEST mage, quest mage is one of the funnest decks to play umm I tought the quest to be kind of busted and well it seems like it's getting there right now while quest mage is really bad against some of the aggressive deck out there because the aggressive decks with each expansion get more aggressive and it was always bad against it and now it's just really horrible like if you play you place quest mage you're going to win close to none of your games against a decent opener from an aggregate close to none alright? be horned. Butt actually do pretty well against fluids now the part that I really enjoy about quest mage more than any other deck it's a really high skill deck trying to figure out your wind conditions and just like seeing them as they cum knowing when it's too late to go for the conventional combo and pushing for really like the few percentage points and actually getting there this is the type of deck that I think your going to win considerably more if you play well and I think you're going to get some of that in required info and practice throught watching the games to come some of these games are my first few some of them are my last few I think my play with quest mage has improved drastically I think my win rate with the deck is probably not much over 50% but I think if I would go back and play that same number THOSE Same games even I probably pushing like 60 maybbe 70% winrate I think playing the deck a couple dozen times got a lot better at it and experience counts for a lot while certainly OTK non attractive combos are one of the bad things in hearthstone I'd say an even rarer thing is a deck that actually rewards you with results for playing well and this is certainly that you hate the Druids this is the deck to play maybe not necessarily my list but it worked out for me enjoy the games hope you learned something and I'll see you guys in a bit

[@nickelodeann]

Why don't any of the current decklists run frostbolt? Seems super helpful for stopping big minion or weapon damage.

[@ZeroDividesByYOU]

So, that game at 7 minutes... Why'd he concede when the apprentice got poly'd? I've played this deck since last expansion, he had another ice block plus draw. He wasn't dead either, because simulacrum gets you a fourth apprentice. Am I missing something or did Kripp just throw?

[@cowerinokripperino3946]

[@BroudbrunMusicMerge]

Daan Van Bockel eez jus' game

[@fugyfruit]

The worst part of going against Quest mage is unlike most combo decks there's nothing you can do to counter them if they pull off the combo they win straight up at least with other combo decks you could get enough armor or taunts to counter but against Quest there's nothing to do since it's infinite damage the only possible counter is If you can get over 100 armor so they rope before they can kill you

[@timbrazeal4]

Kripp isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a player with such an ability and movement in Hearthstone? Kripp puts the game on another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a player with his skill and passion for the game again. Kolento breaks records. Firebat breaks records. Trump breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic

the taking an extra turn BM hahaha

Welp. At first Tempo Storm recognised the quest mage, then Kripp made a video about it. Time to prepare for the Eater of Secrets meta again.

I look forward to when Gadetzan rolls out of the rotation.

Hey Kripparrian you should put the decklist codes in your descriptions!

[@hammurabitheawesome674]

Is it just me or is the sound and video off? I get the sound like a couple seconds before the video reflects the sound.

[@vaonos2789]

Any deck that counters these damn druids is a +

[@ctgooni]

Went against a quest mage recently, got ice blocked 5 turns in a row. Now I have to run eater of secrets. Fun.

[@FunkyGhostHD]

Goonie True Whats wrong with running tech cards? I understand if you cant afford it, but is a rare card, you dont need that much dust. If you wanna half-counter Druids, you have to craft an epic.

[@vitormonteiro2603]

Kripp, put the deck code in the description of the video please

[@drigger225]

One thing you can't criticize is his rank this season. He usually tries dumb decks against rank 20s and says they're good but he's playing around rank 5 now so he's facing some serious opponents. On the other hand rank 20 is pretty tough post-frozen throne so it really doesn't matter that much.

[@Brinydeep666]

what is that add on you use?

[@zCowsXBL]

Hearthstone Deck tracker

[@StrawHatPuffy]

How is it anti-meta if it doesn't have skulking giest in it?

[@Bahatmogan]

Doesn't need it. Skulking giest is for decks that can't deal with the infinite board state of jade idol. Exodia mage doesn't care about the board at all apart from stalling it out.

[@Nathan-tg4gu]

Because it beats the deck that Skulking Giest is meant to to counter.

[@dopeitsraul7268]

[@priapus1337]

I like running Dirty Rat if Exodia Mage is popular.

[@FunkyGhostHD]

paul k It's not the exact counter tho. Simalcrum is one hell of a card. But I guess a Taunt Warrior and Highlander/Demonlock can run one or two, just to be sure.

[@Kveets]

13:00 double frost nova

[@nicu8145]

Kveets he had 10 cards in hand so he needed to get rid of something so he wouldn't burn away combo cards

[@danielcrain9963]

Only game I've lost to quest mage was the first time I played it. Didn't even know it existed at the time! People complaining seem to forget it's one of the most inconsistent and easily countered deck (takes 1 card to kill it, flare or eater of secrets). Since most decks are teching in giest and a secret eater, anyone complaining about losing needs to learn to go FACE!

[@Whaltteri]

What deck is easy to play and can get me higher in the ranks? And it would have to be a rather cheap deck too.

[@trompell0]

Whaltteri Hunter.

[@AlexTheDadGamer]

Hi Kripp, To answer your question : "How do you stuff a cabbage? " I am surprised you don't know considering your Romanian roots :). Maybe " Sarmale" rings a bell :)) ! Anyway great videos man, keep it up, Take care

[@timbecude630]

Win every time as Murloc Pally from Jade druid, but token druid is a whole diffrent story.

[@strongside4565]

Mill rogue is one of those decks where people think it would be cool if it were good because they don't play Wild where you can't beat Mill Rogue with a slow deck and it forces you to play midrange or faster if you want a decent win rate.

[@trompell0]

Strongside Ugh. Yes mill rogue in wild is really lame. I like to play control but most control is weak to it. You can sneak some wins with Reno mage just save all that burn for face.

[@hjyahi7972]

High skill deck 3 flamestrikes off a time is considered high skill????

[@morethanlunch]

In a bit. I think he's officially dropped the "little bit" in exchange for this.

[@Krahog]

"Enemy has 11 health, I got 2 fireballs, and the opponent knows about them. Oh, I KNOW! Let's start deecking around with flamestrike and mage quest, cause why not waste his time and mine..." this is the only think a severely dislike about Kripp... please stop...

[@trompell0]

Krahog Same here it upsets me he bms like that for no reason.

[@thethinkinlad]

I know I sound like I'm defending him but I've done the same thing with quests in the past. Just had this perception that the quest HAD to completed if it could be completed. Even if I could already win. Because of this, I understand kripp.

[@Sparky9249]

Why did he concede if he still had an iceblock at 7:15?

[@erich1380]

Sparky9249 impossible to pull off combo once apprentice got sheeped

[@l3m0ntea]

i think a way to fix this is perhaps to change how ice block interacts. it can still win jade druid but not be so overpowered over others. my idea is to make ice block activates when the damage overkills u (jade druid summon big minions that usually overkills u) but doesn't activate if it's an exact lethal. this makes others require more skill to play around exodia mage yet making it still possible to win.

[@FunkyGhostHD]

l3m0ntea That was... "Not intelligent" at best. Jade Druid usually summons 7/7 , 8/8s in the late game anyway, so it is insta win for Druid and actually other classes too since Hunters can get big Hyenas or simply two Hyemanes on the board and control classes like Priest and Warrior can drop like 4-5 8-9 mana drops in the late game so it is auto win for them again and with other Mages, including Burn, can, simply, burn you out with Fireballs and Pyroblasts. Sorry but your argument makes no sense to me.

[@chauncey33]

The Arcane Giant version is easier to pull off, requiring less combo cards.

[@leof.2695]

But doesn't go through taunt and is worse against warrior and some druids.

[@MrDaniel9009]

WANT SOME CHOCOLATE?

[@dfnt12]

You still could have won the first game. Just play the simulacrum on the sorcerer's apprentice (you don't have to play it on the same turn as the rest of your combo) and play the ice block. Then on the next turn, play out the pieces of your combo that you have and the quest reward and pray you get the last molten reflection. You'll have 4 draws (AI + 2 draws), 6 if you get the other AI, plus babbling book/primordial glyph RNG to get another molten reflection or more AIs

[@dfnt12]

Also you probably want to run two Ghastly conjurers. Those mirror images are super useful, especially against aggro. Use it with frost nova or blizzard against classes with weapons/chargers to preserve your block (super relevant against aggro). Or with a doomsayer if you don't draw the freeze or you think you need to save it for a later turn I also run frostbolts. It helps with aggro matchups, and if you can't manage to draw the full combo, frost bolt + 3 fireballs, + 3 sorcerer apprentices hitting face is 30 dmg, so you can OTK with just 3 of the 4 apprentices.

[@derfahnder88]

That first game was a win i think but that secret man xD

[@freezingcicada6852]

Better make Agro Murloc Paladin to counter this fun interactive deck.

[@closedcaptionerinokripperi7205]

hey guys how's it going cranium

[@WindFall259]

Anti-Meta No games shown against Druid. ...Huh?

[@chainsnz8164]

For all salty players, if you hate the deck that much, run eater of secrets

[@vitorluis1460]

Anything that beats Druid is good on me.

[@mrbigotes9974]

I personally don't like quest mage, So instead of shittalk about it, I just play Kezan.. How can You play if your opponent have 1-Turn win Ice block? Easy, just take it and kill him xD.. Or just play Mill rogue.. With the new DK Valeera that deck is awesome and if You burn Alex or Antonidas is maybe gg xD

[@jameskeith7893]

this deck doesn't actually require as much skill as he makes it out to require all you have to do to win with it is spam card draw freeze effects and ice block until you pull both sorcerers apprentices and Antonidas you might be thinking "but what about completing the quest???" Easiest quest to complete once you get down your sorcerers apprentices you just spam cabalists tome and glyph Every time I have played against this deck I have them and i'm destroying them but because they get an extra 6 turns by spamming blizzard frost nova and ice block I can't do anything (and trust me at least half of the "random" spells he gets from the effects will be cabalists time ice block or frost nova)

[@erich1380]

I thought I was one of the only ones that discovered how good this deck was this expansion but then I ran into a million of them so I guess not haha

[@seannguyen4713]

Can someone tell me how to snipe kripp? I just have a arena deck with 2 lich king,1 prince malcheza and 1 curators....its like 9 legendary in total....would like to snipe him see how.

[@Galdervorn]

can't have 2 lich kings

[@seannguyen4713]

Its an arena deck bro. I drafted 2 lich king, 1 prince malchezar and 1 curator.

[@codycrawford7842]

How does this deck reward skill? If you managed to get the Waygate you win.

[@varianblitz2470]

Cody Crawford completing the quest isnt the hard part, its surviving until you have all the pieces of the combo

[@uhlan30]

Cody Crawford No you don't?

[@rebelfriend1818]

yeah playing frost nova and ice block and all the stalling cards mage has is so skill intensive

[@ryukaganzeroful]

play the deck yourself about 30 games then report back with win rate. other than that you're just talking out of your ass cause you're salty. if you can get 60%+ win rate then i'll concede that you're right

[@atem8101]

"How do you stuff cabbage" Wow kripp..wow

[@mojolito]

F U N A N D I N T E R A C T I V E

[@bygregik]

Can anyone explain me what means Exodia? It means combo or something like that?

[@doubled6490]

Gregorio Nykiel google it

[@bowiesexy]

Its from yugioh where if you get all parts of exodia together you instantly win or something

[@Bahatmogan]

The name "Exodia" comes from the card game Yu-Gi-Oh. It was a set of 5 cards that formed an entity known as Exodia. When all 5 cards are played, the player automatically wins. The name applies here because the mage combo is a set of 6 cards (Antonidas, 2x Sorcerer's apprentice, 2x Molten Reflection, Time warp) that when played with an activator spell at the end allows the player to cast infinite fireballs, which is basically an automatic win (some exceptions apply).

[@sirisirih]

Gregorio Nykiel let me do a question to you, have you ever been a kid or you just skipped that part of life, i mean if you have never heard about yu-gi-oh and exodia where have you been for all this time

[@EnormousKingCrab]

Does Kripp ever show his trousers? If so I hope a Kripperino is born to track his trousers.

[@davidheon469]

The combo is kinda interactive, you have to draw at least 20 cards from your deck in order to have your full combo in hand... thats a lot of turns to survive

[@greatmightypanda]

Not really, when you consider multiple ice blocks and freeze cards essentially render at least half the turns in the game useless to any minion based deck, and mage has huge card generation which also benefits the quest itself, and they even have arcanologists to tutor their secrets from their deck early, which both makes them survive and makes their draws more reliable over time. Drawing 20 cards is not that difficult when there is no way to prevent it happening - survival is not interaction, especially when you do nothing to affect the board state but merely prevent it from acting.

[@TheLocoRunner]

I like any deck that can beat jade druid.

[@freedommendoza40]

I don't know why, but I cant live without flamestrike

[@masongarcia314]

Alright everyone lets calm down to begin with. Even though I play this deck I do understand why people despise it and I know why it is fundamentally bad for the game everyone hates aggro but this deck promotes it because you can't win with control so your only option is to play aggro. Now something everyone needs to learn is to is that to win you need to play meta decks even if you are a "scumbag" for playing these kinds of decks. You usually can't win in most cases if you aren't playing meta so you play meta because who doesn't like winning and bragging what rank you are to friends? Now I also want to talk about how they kind of nerfed it, not necessarily nerfed it but added things that can greatly hinder the decks winrate against control. To start off handsize is a extreme problem with this deck now with the addition to let's say frozen clone if you get that from let's say cabalists tome you technically have a dead card in hand because you need these spells to complete the quest but you also can't add an extra two useless cards to your hand and risk burning a combo piece. Also with the addition the the lich king they're are some cards that can help defeat quest mage. Now I'm not sure what all the names of the deathnight cards are but if you have the card that steals a certain card from the enemies deck you can screw up some combos. Also some decks don't have aoe or spells to break your block with while their minions are frozen they added the card that deals 3 damage to all enemies as well as frostmourne to break blocks with. Also another point I would like to bring up is that when a quest mage let's say doesn't get his last combo pieces until the last few cards they will be fatiguing so ice block is irrelevant in some cases if you can line up the fatigue damage correctly. Another point is let's say they have an ice block whether they are a mage or they stole it from your class in some way which is rng just like other people say this deck is completely reliant on. Let's say you are facing a control deck you need to be focusing on your hand when you will be fatiguing and not to mess anything up on burning cards. Another thing on the fatigue aspect is what secrets you need to play around whether you not attack a with a weapon to activate ice barrier giving them that 1 health advantage to live from fatigue the next turn instead of not attacking and letting fatigue kill them later on one turn or more. Also secrets whether you are mage or stole a secret you have to deal with potion of polymorph, ice block, and one that I think most forget about spellbender because it can mess up a molten reflection on a sorcerers apprentice combo to win the game. Now I know this deck is not interactive but I just wanted to point out a few things I noticed when playing the deck myself. Please don't flame my grammar I am bad at grammar and it's late ty if you actually read this and please tell me anything you don't agree with :)

[@Thanatos2k]

But what was he so amused by offscreen at 8:00?

[@Farsightful]

love it when opponents starts to spamm "well played" and looks like he is already celebrating. Just a few seconds before going pregnant.

[@LostMyGoatsAgain]

Get that warp-drive here. Its time for Anti-Meta

[@pickledparsleyparty]

quest mage is a pretty high skill deck? it seems so auto-pilot when I'm up against it with a control deck. maybe the skill comes into play against mid range decks?

[@judeethan1]

did u not watch the video?

[@Starcanum-]

You can't really see whether it's auto-pilot or not from the other side of the board.

[@doubled6490]

ArcanumVader please tell me how it is not auto pilot: there is hardly any chance to missplay unless you cant count if opponent can pop/has lethal.

[@Starcanum-]

You have to know when to go for a tempo win condition, know the right choice in the discover options in different matchups (sometimes the obvious choice isn't exactly the best one), plan your plays around random generation, know when to go face, know when to play your doomsayers / freezes, learn some specifics about how to play out your card draw effects etc. There're a lot of possibilities for a misplay, and those don't always lead to losing the game, but they often decrease the chance of a win or postpone your win condition, and that alone can decrease your avg winrate.

[@Ak4ntor]

I just love that mostly people that never even played the deck talk about how easy it is. Play it yourself against decent decks, it gets tough pretty fast, expecially if the opponent knows how to play against q-mage

[@Starcanum-]

Why did he concede the first one?

[@doubled6490]

[@beniaminszwed1700]

Exodia is preeeety good

[@anthonysierra6895]

People are going to be triggered and complain, but if you have ever played it, you should know it does take skill to play this deck.

[@doubled6490]

Anthony Sierra where? You are not interacting with opponent's board until they have lethal or a big minion, and you are not playing against your opponent...

[@asnalem4391]

Double D are pings, babbling book, arcanologist and random spells not used to interact with the opponents board other than the freezes and doomsayers? Don't be on denial because you are salty.

[@Gabriel-vx4fi]

Double D Board interaction is just 1 digit math tho, dont be so proud about that.

[@Brawlii]

The pain you sometimes experience of milling yourself :(

[@Lardo137]

It does take skill. Like, a five-year-old's skill. The deck is so brain dead and has a minimum of player interaction. Aggro decks still care about the board, they WIN through the board. Freeze Mage IGNORES the board by stalling with 3-4 Ice Blocks, randomly generated Meteors, Flamestrikes, Frost Novas, all their Fireballs and Frostbolts because they no longer need to save them since Archmage generates an infinite supply, and whatever bullshit comes out of cards like Firelands or Medivh, if used. Yes, it TECHNICALLY requires skill, just like it takes skill to wipe your ass or to brush your teeth. Doesn't make it any less boring.

[@thenoobdaemonhs2573]

'exodia mage' is the most disgusting and frustrating deck in the meta. It involves none of the new mechanics, you just sit there and wait to be OTK'd buy a guy who freezes, draws, freezes, draws, gets unbelievably lucky with glyph and tome, plays 4 ice blocks then 'well plays' you as if it was skill. Literally the most boring deck in hearthstone.

[@baileyshaw1335]

[@mahmoudhasan8447]

dirty is doing will aganist it..

[@n3mo_]

Bailey Shaw it's true, many classe have litterally no chance against that type of deck but it does requires some skill If you make ONE turn in the wrong way you're screwed, then there is the RNG problem with cabalist tome, shimmering tempest and the others but that is not just a mage problem. The real problem right now is druid and innervate, I've played jade ramp druid today for the very first time and.. yeah I got from 9 to 5 in no time but it wasn't so funny to me.. I was litterally disgusted of myself when I innervate into behemot in turn 4..

It's tier one deck according to Tempo Storm......

This deck is amazing, most other CCGs have Control/combo decks, why shouldn't hearthstone? god forbid you ever play Magic then..

[@trompell0]

Joao Paulino its totally different. Magic has instants and counterplay.

[@JohnyAcoriano]

Yeah, in one color, blue. If you're not playing blue for counterspells it's almost the equivalent of playing Hs against this deck unless you are also another blue combo/control deck or have a combo that cannot be disrupted via counterspell magic. The stack makes it more fair for other colors to try to interrupt combos with instants/creature abilitys albeit if you're against blue they are probably holding that force of will/daze/Flusterstorm and variants for combo protection. I for one played all kinds of decks in Mtg and I'm happy that Hs is enabling the game to not just all about creature tempo shenanigans for aggro or true tempo, diversify the game, everyone wins, more player base salt is always a byproduct of diversity, certain classes should have theyre identity like this in a rock paper scissors kind of way from what they excell at I'm happy how the game is progressing, they should balance it a bit more though but could be a lot worse, not an easy task.

Joao Paulino I agree with you. Also side note i only play decks with blue :). Blue red is my favorite

[@JohnyAcoriano]

Aah, yes , the Izzet guild :) no doubt one of the most fun ones , weird science , creativity in a curious combination of opposite Ideals between search for knowledge,premeditation of blue and the impulsiveness/passion of red. Not to mention the Pewpew power it can have My commander deck is Izzet :D

You can beat jade druid via control using Skulking geist, yes it's true. Try it, make a video about it. And those are quite nice and balanced matches. You called it and we knew that Quest Mage is broken as fuck against control and midrange and is meta breaking in the sense where it makes it shit, because you have to play aggro to counter it. - quest mage draws its deck before any other control so to get the combo is not that difficult when your opponent has a slow deck and is, for most of the game, in frozen state. - random ass-hole generator via gliph and tome is broken as fuck - 1 turn infinite damage, play around it if you can. The difficulty is to roll the dice, still, like any mage as of the last couple of expansions. Oh 8 mana pyroblast.... There is a big minion on the board, 4 mana meteor...., then go face with spell damage, you don't even need a board to do it. How is that fun?

A deck that has to play a large amount of rng cards is more skill based? Skill cant carry shatter
