Tier Explanations

Tier 1:
These are the current top-level decks in Hearthstone ranked play. They are the closest to optimized or have such ridiculously powerful combos and synergy that they overwhelm the competition.mech mage does not do that at all
Consequently, losing to these decks often feels "unfair" or "overpowered" because of how much more efficient and sometimes forgiving the deck can be. mech mage has a few dream outs, but rare (warper coin warper annoy chuga chuga) but thats it
Play these decks with the understanding that you probably should be avoiding the friend request you get after winning. clearly not the case for mech mage

Tier 3:
Tier 3 is the buns to the Hearthstone burger. They are often forgotten about when considering which deck to optimally queue up, but they are important because of the inherent checks and balances they present to the meta.mech mage is that
Oftentimes, a Tier 3 deck is considered an average deck that has a few strong match ups that give it a small pocket of impact on ladder. that too
They are not bad, but they are not particularly impressive. It might be because the meta does not favor their strengths or it could be a lack of refinement.100% mech mage
Several of these decks grow on you over time and become a favorite. There is your issue Hepzibah and mech mage enthousiast

This is just a random opinionated explanation...
Have never sent a friend request to a tier 1 deck.

Tier is just what outperforms what. Not your "feelings"

can't edit for some reason

1 game example on ladder, me as patron vs mech mage, pre TGT (22nd of may 2015) They comment in French, just silence it.

starts at about 17min35. Tried to make it auto start there, but i think i failed.

i did not write those... i looked up the definition

mech mage is a deck than can perform but NO WHERE near the tier 1 decks: patron, midrange hunter, secret pala, and i would even add dragon priest....

i faced several mage like this the past season, and after we discovered the deck, since april, this is in legend the opinion of mech mage: "if i dont have a clunky hand, thx for the free win".
