nerf shaman because the snowfall guardian gaining stats is too opressive
meanwhile mage gets 2 locations that freeze and summon dudes … apart from them also having a cold spell that gains 4 armor and summon 2 dudes and a board wipe that summons dudes, no mage is DEFFINETLY interactive right now… holy

So you play against three different decks in ten matches. Plus one of those decks involves you just sitting there while your opponent does whatever they damn well please. No wonder this gets so boring so fast, there’s no variety anymore because so little stuff is actually viable.
Of course, this is done deliberately. Blizzard just wants your money, so all the new stuff has to be selectively OP so that players will buy it. Then when it gets the (already planned) nerf, you’ll have to spend more money to switch to a different class (whichever is the most OP now), unless you dust everything you were just using (and even then you may not have enough).
1 mage card great VILE
ice block…In some decks, they reveal this card 3 times.
shame on our time…Best Vile mage card. Anyway, at least sixty percent of the cards in the game contain EPIC LEGENDARY VERY GOOD designs !!!
In 2019 we had lineups more along the lines of:
Bomb Warrior
Control Warrior
Mech Hunter
Bomb Warrior
Secret Hunter
Token Druid
Bomb Warrior
Murloc Shaman
Quest Druid
Khadgar Mage
Cyclone Mage
Maybe a Hooktusk Rogue here or there.
Oh, and can’t forget Bomb Warrior.
