Since quite a while back, when the autocomplete was updated to reference actual deck lists, I think

yeah it gave the basic meta deck for ignite mage, with one ancient mysteries cut for antonidas

Since demon hunter, right?

Taz dingo yehhh

It was a meta strategy in badlands in duels for Reno deck, where you would get both antonidas and apprentice from etc by shadowstepping it after you run out of secrets :)

I made the deck below using your idea, won a game on my third try, the list probably could be improved (right now it's about generating as many ice blocks as you possibly can) but yeah the core idea works and it's pretty fun as far as the exodia stuff goes. It might also be more fun and maybe even straight up better to run this in a reno package as the core package is only 3 unique cards anyway (bloodwatcher, etc, brann). If you want to win more games though, I'm 100% sure the quest version is superior to this idea no matter how you build it. deck code: AAEBAdjhBgiFF8W4A9TqA+WwBISyBKneBP3EBfibBgvAAcsEn5sD9KsD0ewDrvcDyt4E4MMF7PYF1pgGhuYGAAED5gT9xAW4CP3EBYS7Av3EBQAA

Well the xp argument would require ignorance, thats not efficient. If youre roping to think about future turns, sure, take that time. If youre roping to run to the bathroom, sure, people do that. If youre roping to irritate your opponent into playing worse I think that sucks. If someone is being courteous to let me have my fun, thats their choice and Im gonna have my fun. I am in control of one persons experience, and Im not going to make that persons experience worse just because my opponent could maybe possibly be bothered by it, especially when they have an instant out whenever they want. Doing silly things in video games is part of the joy of playing. This is a pvp game, so anything I do is at my opponents expense, they opt into that when they choose to play. Im not gonna play this goofy, random game like a stale robot for arbitrary, hypothetical reasons.

Good times

Cause Mage has ignite (as well as much better draw)

@@MartianBuu do they? The cleric was it and many cheap heals and 1 mana draw while overhealing is better to me. Also that overheal deal 5 random damage is better or so I think especially if you happen to reduce its cost. Well if Buu says so, I guess I might be mistaken

Luna and Chandler specifically led to the nerf. Cleric banned in Wild. Edit: Sorry, Clergy is banned. Did you mean Northshire? Harder to draw with and stuff to draw into is weaker. Radiant is also a good card and lots of people want it to get the same treatment.

Drekthar was also the reason for the Sorcerer's Apprentice nerf

Someone pointed that out to me after that game, then I did it for the rest of the stream 🫡

@@MartianBuu o7 quality content, 10/10

I am actually retracting all of my judgy comments about Marshies Fireball Fun and think it’s not BM at all. If this was played on paper across from a human opponent, Marshie would play his sorcs, take his extra turn, play Antonidas and say “and now I have infinite fireballs, GG.” It’s not Marshies fault that the game client makes him lethal the opponent, and the opponent can certainly concede at any time. It’s not like there are any outs for them. Keep up the great work, Marshie! ❤

Its one more 1-of to find but if you enjoy that go for it

I havent really played it since the vid I posted recently

@@MartianBuu ah okey, do you recomend crafting it in spite of recent reno nerfs?

@baymain2703 its probably still good at what it does. I dont know that I can say I recommend it necessarily. Its kinda expensive and new expansion just around the corner.

@@MartianBuu good point, thanks for advice!

He says HaHA in my headcannon. Above 0.

@@MartianBuu Well, you just got my hopes up hahhaha Btw: what was that Priest deck from Schollomamcy people sorta bullied you outta playing?I didn't quite get why it was a triggering deck and which deck it was. I had stopped after Un'Goro and came back right before Sunken City.

@shocknawe raza priest. Polkelt made it so you found raza and anduin faster and more consistently, and Spawn of Shadows cost 4 back then so you drew it once combo was online. Turn 9 lethal was common/expected.

@@MartianBuu oh, I see. Thank you for the response! I think I've told you this before, but people can be twats. Keep up playing whatever you like, regardless if it's Pirate Rogue or Reno Galakrong Renathal Odd Shadow Quest (Druid!? Nani!!!???).

You build draw to get into this, I dont think the Yugioh comparison makes much sense tbh. Sure, fast combos are more acceptable in fast games, but Wild Hearthstone is pretty fast and this deck is vulnerable to lots of strategies. Not as fast as Yugioh, but this deck doesnt play at Yugioh speeds. If theres an issue with this deck its not the Quest at this point. The better version of it that plays Ignite doesnt actually need the quest for anything. I dont disagree that this should be harder, but Wild has much bigger problems than Quest Mage now, and it would take a concerted effort to improve it that is not coming. So… Im just trying to take it for what it is at this point.

I mean, it's just combo. First of, Exodia was never good. Like, in YuGiOh, of you would show up to anything, ever, with an Exodia list, people would laugh you out the shop. Even at the time of no expansion base game. As you said, it's just a gamble. And YuGiOh is an absurdly fast game. If you don't setup your win on turn 1 you loose on turn 2. It's fascinating but also crazy. Secondly: As I said. It's combo. That's how it works. I get that the whole "your opponent played solitare and suddenly the game is over." vibe can feel kinda stinky. And if you don't like it, fair enough. It's there to counter control tho. Without combo control would win every game. It's a healthy part of the meta-game. And this combo is no different to, say a Uther Paladin summoning all 4 horesman on the same turn. Or a miracle rouge going off. It's all the same thing. They gather all the cards they need to end the game, and then they end the game. You have a short amount of time, usually 3-5 turns in HS, to kill a deck that has *very* limited options to stop you. And if you can't, they win. Thems the breaks. How is it fair that an agroo deck can vomit all their cards out in two turns and flat-out kill you? How is it fair a control deck can kill every card you ever play and stall you to oblivion? Just all part of the greater whole. Have a good one.

@MartianBuu I just thought of the solution and it applies to most things. The universal change: But never less than (1). The fact you don't pay to do something in the card game is wild.

@@JinFreeks bro exodia was meta for quite a long amount of time in the ocg at the start of the game's lifetime. i took several erratas and limits/bans to make it dissapear.

The heads in the sand one? It seems okay, probably not great in Wild.
