Taunt up your whelps with Defender and watch him either waste removal on them, suicide his Leeroy or play a different creature. :D Anyway, it's a secret, and I don't think Mage really needed that (same as with the new Pally secret). But at least it looks playable, in Arena, at the very least. Or maybe som midrange Mage deck? | ||

Right now it competes directly with stuff like Water Elemental and Yeti, (not to mention fireball and polymorph) and it really doesn't measure up at all. Given how underwhelming secret keeper tends to be, and Kirin Tor Mage is really the only Secret-Themed minion worth a damn. If Etheral Arcanist was a 4/4, I think running a secrets deck would be way more viable. I completely agree. The biggest problem with mage secrets deck is that the combo of a secret + Ethereal Arcanist that was meant to be very strong is super late. Playing Etherial Arcanist turn 4 without a secret is super underwhelming, playing a secret turn 3 is highly unlikely that the secret will remain on the field one more turn for the Ethereal Arcanist turn 4, unless it's an Ice Block. So the combo has to be executed at turn 7 when a silencable 5/5 is not that significant. Mage probably has the most powerful, and rightfully so, most expensive secrets and the 4 mana cost Ethereal Arcanist is too expensive. Blizz fix plz! | ||

I'm starting to feel bad for Blizzard, can't win. Every card they release will either be not powerful enough or too powerful. ggwp. | ||

If you know which minions are in the closer selection of getting played during the upcoming turns, you can sometimes adjust your health/damage values accordingly when buffing/trading/healing/nuking in order to force your opponent into suboptimal trades.

S2 games (the people who developed Heroes of Newerth (MOBA)) solved this problem by continuously introducing new heroes (way more than are being released for LoL or Dota2). At some point, the players couldn't ban all of them. They had to play with some of the new ones, they had to experiment, and find new combinations. Over time, the meta shifted on a monthly basis and at that time, no MOBA hat such an everchanging meta and build diversity than HoN. Since Hearthstone is a very young game and since Blizzard has very high quality standards, the amount of cards will increase at a very slow pace. Be patient, but also know that probably no card that's coming up will make the game unplayable. | ||

If he's your only minion on the field, you have to kill him otherwise he just keeps getting bigger, and if you kill him the mage will just get 2 more of them. That makes silence the only painless way of dealing with him. Well, between that and turning him into a frog or a sheep, it should be plenty. | ||

Comboing it with more expensive stuff, except maybe Antonidas, really doesn't seem viable. Even if you get 2 Ragnaros out of the deal, you still have to play them, and thats going to very slow and eat up your next few turns. Most of the time you'll probably just die first. | ||
