    i mean my mage deck is like

    2x arcane missiles
    1x mirror image
    1x mana wyrm
    2x frostbolt
    2x kobold geomancer
    2x novice engineer
    2x arcane intellect
    1x cone of cold
    1x counterspell
    2x dalaran mage
    1x harvest golem
    1x shattered sun cleric
    2x fireball
    2x polymorph
    2x dark iron dwarf
    2x water elemental
    1x blizzard
    1x fen creeper
    2x flamestrike

    it has a nice balance of good cheap 'pay for themselves' minions, good strong 4 drops with buffs and spells to keep offensive pressure on

    i feel like i need 1 or 2 more taunters though

    Beasteh is not totally incorrect here. While I think knowing what the opponent can cast for spells and creatures is a key part of being a good player, allowing offense to pick defenders makes it incredibly difficult to do anything about a bad hand outside of waiting to lose or killer topdecks. I feel that's why constructed is becoming increasingly focus on aggro: you're relying on a good hand in a control deck whereas an aggro deck is more likely to get the solid opening minions it needs to wreck you.

    Compare this to Magic where you can least plop down a wall or fattie to buy yourself some time.

    @beasteh Craft some shield masters

    also aggro is favored ATM because it beats many of the previously top tier decks

    I'm not sure why you think it's easier for an aggro deck to get a better hand than a control deck?

    You need to craft cards/get packs. Even 4-5 packs make a huge difference.

    Just doing the tutorials and basic stuff should get you at least enough fodder to make some Decent Cards

    and yeah Mage encompasses certain aspects of the red deck

    I'm getting my ass handed to me in 3 star silver right now. It's pretty sad.

    Red doesn't suck in magic though. "Red Deck Wins" has been a prominent and consistent deck archetype in Magic for a long time.

    Druid has removal spells, what are you talking about in the OP? Aside from all the nukes, they have naturalize and I think one other thing I can't recall the name of right now as straight-up "destroy that creature" cards.

    because aggro decks generally have many more low cost creatures so they are much more likely to get an opening hand they can play right away, I think.

    does a control deck not have the same chances of drawing cards to help them control the early game...?

    like unless you've got rag and ysera in your hand...

    also the choose cards are actually costed below the power of either choice normally

    because class cards have to be op

    Are Fire's Android based?

    They are, but not everything that the android gets goes to Kindle. I believe the software doesn't update much from whatever version it has at release.

    My main magic deck (okay basically my only magic deck, or at least the only one I had that was even halfway decent) was a red/black burn/lifesteal deck. I should probably play Mage more than I do. I know I absolutely hate fighting them. They're so goddamn hateful.

    I really like Druids and Paladins cause they're very heavy buff classes.

    I think I may stop my Paladin for now and play around with Druid more. I don't have the cards really to make a viable and secure Paladin set
