Echo Mage
This is something that not everyone can relate to, but it’s the main thing that I miss from Wild. Echo Mage was one of my favourite decks, and the first guide I ever wrote. Very few considered it to be competitive, which made it so much more fun to climb with. To me, there was nothing better than surprising your opponent with six 8/8s out of nowhere. It was a blast to play, and the emotes that I got were hilarious!
We lost quite a few cards when Standard rolled out. Some archetypes simply ceased to exist entirely. Echo Mage is simply destroyed by losing both Duplicate and Echo of Medivh. It doesn’t help that Molten Giant was nerfed as well, neutering every aspect of the deck. Standard was amazing for the game, but it definitely killed some fun decks along the way. Playing around with Echo Mage and climbing with a deck no one thought possible – that’s the memory I’ll miss most from Wild!
