Not this shitty year again ! <| sep |> Mage has been a top 3 class since Alpha in Arena . At a time when people were calling for Arena Balance and Warriors to be viable , they printed , in consecutive expansions , Ethereal Conjurer , Faceless Summoner , and Firelands Portal for Mages . Conjurer was a top 3 card in LoE , and Summoner and Portal were for all intents the best cards from OG and Kara . There was purifylevel outrage about Summoner the moment it was announced and it was banned from Arena 4 months later , proving the community knew better than Blizzard , then they outdid themselves with Portal . The arena changes are nice , but if they didn ' t let themselves get into a bad spot to begin with using some common sense , they may not have been necessary to begin with . Of note , only one Mage common has been revealed so far . I ' m certain there ' s going to be a broken common in the final card dump .
