You sacrifice about one Mana worth of stats to draw and cast a Secret from your deck. Speaking of excellent- that’s why you don’t play Inconspicuous Rider. Discovering a Mage Secret and casting it for 4 Mana isn’t terrible (since Mage has mostly good Secrets), but Secret Mage is a packed deck, and you don’t want to play anything short of excellent. You run three cards that will possibly Corrupt it (Kabal Crystal Runner realistically isn’t going to stay at full price by Turn 6 unless you draw horribly)- Aluneth/Sayge, Seer of Darkmoon and two copies of Cloud Prince- and when not Corrupted, it’s not great. Quite frankly, it sucks in Wild Secret Mage. The best lists ignore Game Master, Inconspicuous Rider, and Ring Toss- but why?įirst off, Ring Toss. So, of the six new Secret package cards Mage had access to from Darkmoon Faire, the majority of lists only run two or three of them. Sssh… some things aren’t meant to be shared.ĭeck code: AAEBAf0EAsABleEDDuwF9w3XtgLrugKHvQKP0wK+pAO/pAPdqQP0qwOR4QP9ngTnnwTGoAQA There’s a list that uses Khadgar, 2x Netherwind Portal, 2x Spellbender, and 2x Occult Conjurer just to be funny, but it’s more of a meme list than a viable deck. Some lists cut Ice Block, but that’s just not a great idea with how close some games against Aggro get. I’ve experimented with all of the new cards and this is my personally preferred list, but if you want a more “standard” list, just replace a Counterspell, and a Flame Ward with Potion of Polymorph, and an Occult Conjurer. The list below is my list, which is slightly different from most- I chose to include a second Flame Ward and Counterspell over Occult Conjurer and a tech Secret of choice. There was also the Neutral card Inconspicuous Rider, for a total of half a dozen new Secrets/Secret synergies for Mage to try out- so which made the cut? Mage received five cards built around Secrets, including a new Secret and a Secret-based Legendary. There’ve been an influx of Secret synergies in Madness At the Darkmoon Faire. Despite no longer being the undisputable best deck in Wild, Secret Mage is still very strong and more than capable of posting a good winrate, with the opponent often getting burnt to 0 by Turn 6-7.
The combination of strong Secrets from the past and a few new tools from Madness At the Darkmoon Faire, most notably Rigged Faire Game and Sayge, Seer of Darkmoon, allow a deck that can rely heavily on burn- but also survive the aggressive meat grinder that is the Wild meta via board control, and draw enough to pull it all off. Secret Mage has been a strong, much hated part of the Wild meta for a good few expansions now.
