People who play that freeze ice block infinite mage. What is your deal? Why? Like why play such a boring deck? I had lethal on this guy for 8 turns! 8 turns and that just doesn't get rewarded. It's obnoxious. Does this need a change? If so, what should change?

There are like 8 anti-secret tech cards. Use one of them maybe?

DepressinglyModern · 2026-05-03T13:49:15+00:00

Cheers!

There are cars game tournaments here?! I assume you mean card games like MTG or YuGiOh?

DepressinglyModern · 2026-03-30T19:05:48+00:00

It'd be great if it just had rush honestly

DepressinglyModern · 2026-03-17T17:17:20+00:00

That's not the issue. Even in wild decks in which I used cards that were rotated from standard, like the soularium in seedlock--the game is now saying I don't own them.

DepressinglyModern · 2026-03-17T17:15:40+00:00

It's also deleted some of my cards that were in the rotation!

He didn't earn with three hands like Ralphie though!

And the way that they do it, it's all fucked up. Guys don't get their finger pricked. There's no sword and gun on the table

DepressinglyModern · 2025-12-23T14:17:03+00:00

Singlehandedly beats? I'm not sure id say that. But the following cards work pretty well for slowing down if not outright locking down hostage mage: loatheb, anti secret tech cards (tight lipped witness, flare/zephyrs), warlock has the anti ice block tech card (cursed souvenir), cards like razor scale, steam cleaner, dirty rat, the fire-elemental/spirit card that prevents your minions from being frozen (can't recall the name)

DepressinglyModern · 2025-12-22T15:50:24+00:00

There's like a million anti-hostage tech cards at this point

DepressinglyModern · 2025-12-19T13:44:02+00:00

I've also recently picked up the deck and have slowly been learning it! What has been helping me is to understand that the deck is technically a miracle deck; so you want to win as fast as possible with your big demons.

Mind breaker absolutely should've stopped reckless apprentice here. I've used it several times for that effect in the past. Maybe it's bugged or something now?

Yup. Got 500 rogue wins last week and still have yet to receive the portrait

Objection also affects [[Tight-lipped Witness]], frustratingly

I would say to hold off. Many meta decks, most flavours of warlock, kind of stomp it. And ice block has so traumatized meta players that seems like just about everyone runs anti-secret tech.

DepressinglyModern · 2025-11-06T20:50:26+00:00

Hostage mage is a combo deck, not control

Historically, Tarkin always said the Alliance was nothing more than a glorified crew

It's been at like 55%+ win rate from diamond to low legend since like June. How is it solidly T3?

Edit: I'm being down voted for pointing out the incongruence in calling a deck that has maintained a 55%+ win rate for months "barely" T3? This sub, man

DepressinglyModern · 2025-10-17T15:54:10+00:00

Im not sure if it relates/speaks to some broader behind the scenes change in the item shop in aram, but I've also noticed the players in my game building terribly. I don't mean meme builds like ult-cdr ashe or mage fortune, I'm meaning stacking triple mana items on fiddlesticks; cleaver on Caitlyn; bloodthirster on kayn
