The data is in... Mental Mage is the #1 deck!

[@hollowlord8548]

Ah yes i sure do love getting killed from hand on turn 6. Who wouldve guessed 3 mana 3/1 draw 3 and all the other cards would be broken. Honestly i cant see this decks weakness, it has great draw, great early game, great endgame. What doesnt this deck do?

[@pigmanpower1628]

It doesn't have ridiculous amounts of "cast when drawn: deal 2 random damage" or a card that discounts every card in your deck by 3.

[@hollowlord8548]

@pigmanpower1628 so it lacks the rng In those two decks.... You realize that you're saying its consistent yes? In both shaman and rogue there's a huge amount of rng. I've heard the rogue deck has terrible statistics so far too lol. To Sum it up, the downside of this deck is that it's consistent 😂

[@cronosonfire9758]

​@@pigmanpower1628but this is more consistent

[@lesiegelad]

It's basically the same deck from last expansion but more reach and come back mechanics instead of stall. I don't really think this looks busted. Based on these games, Regis was basically just playing curvestone with weak tempo plays on games without the Surgers. The opponents weren't doing a great job to contest the board so he got away with some wins. I say all this to really say that I believe we're going into day 3 of the expansion. The deck isn't as strong as you think. Every deck is unoptimized right now. I bet this deck will likely drop off to tier 2 as other decks become refined.

[@kamilnurkowski]

From hand? So the elementals played literally every turn on board do not count...? You need to chill, this deck is ok and not toxic like taking control of your best minions or "poof" Reno effect.

[@JJay7042]

Tried playing against this deck multiple times as a control DK, when they get that Spell dmg effect off you can not do anything about it. I really despise these types of decks where you are aggro/midrange but you have an otk with insane value and draw....

[@neilu7132]

yeah you can't even play that card that destroys both decks since it just leaves all the best stuff available...

[@JJay7042]

@neilu7132 yeah legit...

[@flipskaternine11]

This deck is rough to face with any slower decks. Definitely seems like one of the better elemental decks to have existed.

[@1Starfletcher]

This just in, Regis *loves* curves.

[@MthieuBrdoux]

My ma... minion will tear you apart

[@venomgames42]

In Diamond, this is the deck I face about 80% of the time.

[@schneeluchsalpha2966]

That tainted elemental (5mana 7/4 - deal 7 damage randomly split if an elemental has been played last turn) is one hell of a strong card, I died at turn 6 even though I had two of the 'gain-armor-taunt starship piece' and the starship built from those two pieces die (for a total of 24 armor) and I had contained their board quite well (for a druid) - but well two remnants/revenants (I dunno, thats why I described it at the start) and a lamplighter were definetly enough to close out the game.

[@davidwhitmore9161]

Please keep doing these gameplay videos it is very entertaining

[@duvie1]

I've been having allot of fun with Draenei mage, haven't tried out this yet since I haven't gotten the new elemental mage legendary, looks crazy tho.

[@EpixGaminginc]

tbh I don't think Saruun is as crucial as people think, combustion and lamplighter just seem like enough burn as is

[@2laws144]

Why is elemental mage getting new tools every expansion?

[@theadamant7125]

I've found that The 8 Hands From Beyond when wrangled and costing only 5 mana pretty reliably helps me beat this deck- I'm surprised to hear that Elemental Mage is doing so well, especially after how poorly it was reviewed during the theorycraft.

[@daviddonachie5333]

I think it is because it's reached a critical mass of draw to overcome its main weakness, the need to keep constantly playing elementals. Sometimes you break the chain and it just falls apart

[@slowbro-]

i play this deck without the legendary because i dont have it. Still works fine.

[@GauthierDevillers]

noob

[@valydodier547]

This deck doesn't even need Saruun to win.

[@ashish322]

[@tessieract]

oh wow! I was looking at recipe decks on day 1 to see what i was closest to having, and had all but saruun for this deck, so i made it. glad to hear its good, its felt good

[@sheildingepicness]

I’m sure the broken deck feels good to play 😂

[@tessieract]

​@@sheildingepicness idk why youre being kinda sarcastic. My point was that I happened to have most of the deck after day 1 packs (despite being f2p) and it was craftable for me day 1 with only Saruun, and before I had any data to go on to say what was a good deck, I was playing it and getting wins. Stop being annoying.

[@paraqorgaming6274]

God, Archivist into Remnant is so disgusting. I know its not a new thing this expansion, but the fact that ele mage got such a good set with stuff like that already in the game is gross

[@OptimisticRealizer]

As soon as these cards were revealed, I got super excited and knew Elemental Mage is finally going to be OP. The deck was already good, but it just lacked more draw and over the top burn support.

[@vincentcloud]

Yeah the deck is busted, definitely getting nerfed. I know I tilted a druid who was BM emote me and did like 24 from hand.

[@varanisshouyou4379]

Here we go again soon with the nerfs... mages rogue druids warriors until aggro paladin is number one

[@KhaledIron]

soo whats the counter to this cancer? Im seeing way too many

[@arch1q892]

It don't have counter that's problem this deck aggro midrange and otk at same time.that being said I play hunter dane list just made some adjusmeents really good deck can beat mage..

[@arch1q892]

Dane hunter might be the one just put miracle salesman in and cut some big boys

[@pitbullash]

Counter with a lot of armor or extra life and board control

[@pitbullash]

Also x2 Dirty rats

[@paronet97]

cold feet to cut the elemental chain in dk and paladin have won many of my games

[@juliangaspari1504]

Suggest nerfs: Lamplighter should go to minions or cost 5/6 - the new draw elemental should draw 2 -

[@Dionysus626]

Why are you so determined not to play a 0 mana 2/2?

Deck list does not work. Very irritating.

I played this deck and got absolutely destroyed by control DK and control warrior...and it was pretty all I faced so I'm not impressed by this deck

[@gregster1856]

I didn't even face any elemental.mages, I just quit after every rogue matchup made me ask why do I even play this game. =)

[@DtLS]

Giving mages an elemental package when they already had a pretty powerful elemental deck was a terrible idea.

[@vegettomajyin4204]

Decks like these ruin every expansion and basically the entirety of Hearthstone. I am facing 90% of mages with each of them playing the very same deck. I have not seen any druids, priests, warrior or even rogues. Only mages. Its not fun at all.

[@hansschmidt148]

Top deck it is - and is so incredibly boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring.

[@GunnuX]

The guy is still in gold and with a weak deck like that... I stopped watching the video! No gold yet? It must be because of the deck...

[@neilu7132]

ah yes, video opens with hearthstone-wide data showing the deck is almost at 60% winrate, deck must be weak because it's played in gold. Brain very smooth, critic very smart.

[@RegisHearthbin]

My guy, I'm gonna be real, I'm not totally sure what you're getting at here, but we gotta go over ranks and how they work, it's been like 3 or 4 years. Ranks don't indicate skill until your star bonus is exhausted. I have an 11 star bonus, which means I finished in ~top 2k Legend last time I played. That also means every player I play has an 11 star bonus all month. Even at Bronze. The best player in the world starts at Bronze and plays other people in Bronze, every month.
