Hearthstone Tip of the Day: How to Use the Mage

When it comes to playing Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, choosing the best hero can be a tough decision. That said, here are some tips for the Mage.

Mages are the first class introduced to new players during the tutorial, and as such, are one of the more popular heroes in online play. That might also be thanks to their incredibly powerful removal spells, like Flamestrike and Fireball.  

Their hero ability is Fireblast, which can deal one damage to any hero or minion — even their own. Despite their powerful spells, Mages lack interesting, class-specific minions. They must rely instead on more basic neutral minions that offer increased spell damage to maintain board presence. This makes them a solid choice when entering The Arena, where high synergy is less of a concern.
