"You spells cost 1 less, but no less than 1" is the only way to fix this. Same extension to any cost reduction based cards. The Echo mechanic got changed to this, so why was that considered too powerful yet everything else isn't?

“Your spells cost 1 less, but not less than 1.” It is incredibly easy to fix the card, and i don’t understand why they don’t nerf it. I just now read the comments, and we all have approximately the same idea.
I love playing this deck, but I can imagine it is horrible to play against. Frankly I think all mana discounts should be unable to go below 1 mana, except maybe low tempo legendary cards.
choice B is likely the right answer. Making the spells not free anymore would kill apm mage immediately (and would also probably mean sorcerers apprentice no longer sees play, but maybe thats for the best).

Adding one mana cost to both Apprentice and Flamewaker would delay this type of OTK Mage enough that the other types won't get completely destroyed by the apprentice changes. Say you go with the whole "you cannot reduce the cost below 1", then Mozaki goes out of the window immediately, it just doesn't exist as a card anymore. But Apprentice at 3 mana would be costly for them, it would make it harder to play it and also delay them a turn which is harder to afford for them than this deck. I do not think that this particular deck has ever had Apprentice as the sole issue, without Flamewaker the entire combo falls apart, and Flamewaker can be used without Apprentice. Best solution is to nerf them both if this deck becomes the top dog again. The overarching problem with these types of Mage decks are all the mana cheats in combination, though the biggest of these is still Apprentice, it's just really difficult to nerf that one card in a substantial manner as to also keep other decks capable of doing their combo, Antonidas Exodia lives and dies with the ability for Apprentice to reduce the mana cost of Fireball to 0, and Antonidas Exodia is not even remotely viable, Mozaki is still an inferior version of Flamewaker, and requires extensive mana cheats.
Mana cheat is universal problem across all the classes. The only fair solution would require massive overhaul of the game but I think it would be worth it in the long run - no zero cost cards (apart from the coin) and cost reduction in the game never reduces cards below zero mana.
Have you ever thought of doing a series where you play the top decks that are considering broken and explain why they are but direct the video at blizzard in hopes they do something about said cards/decks.
I dont have any dust on my account anymore, and i only had 1 deck to play , and i really liked it - it was exodia mage. How the hell am i supposed to play the deck if im completely fucked and devs nerfed my favorite deck of all time??Nerfing the apprentice is just what the hell, its just bad
No need to make the nerfed version playable. Who cares if the card is unplayable. Remember Warsong Commander? The deck that card enabled was way way way less toxic than current mage decks, but still got nerfed straight into uselessness.
Honestly without scams I don't think Mage can be good anymore: secret mage can't be played simply because of Pirate Warrior and the rest of the archetypes are really underpowered for the current state of hearthstone. It is sad but that's how it seems to be.
This card not being nerfed despite enabling all kinds of toxic decks year after year is one of the contributing favors to why when I quit hearthstone I never looked back. It’s too stressful to play, better to watch highlights
I've played this deck for a few games, drek thar sounds good but I mostly just drew him during my combo.. or I draw him early on and then draw the combo before I can use him. :D
It really deserves a nerf like it main reason a lot good and balance cards got nerd unfairly for mage. Also it only make mage bit more fun to vs if they can't spam Free spells (or free RNG spells)
Honestly the card should never have existed in the first place Or at least ban it in wild. By exactly the same logic as Warlock questline ban: too ridiculous with all tools available in wild.
@@mikemike4835 Not all of us can have decks in the meta without having to pay. Hopefully I have some decks of mague and rogue and I can't build other decks because you need a lot of essence. They always nerf mague and rogue. Pff you don't understand anything
Roffle, i admire you actually asking blizzard to do something rather than blindly defending them. But shouldn’t you suggests nerfs for classes that are op like quest warrior, etc? I feel like you’re missing the forest from the trees. You and your community never pressure blizzard, and when you do it’s over sorc???? Come on man
If this is only an apprentice, imagine the strength of a fully-fledged sorcerer..

Killing the deck immediately and making the card unviable are both for the best
Maybe they should replace it with a totem-esqe card? 1 Mana 0/4 option B and then use the original artwork for +spell damage
Here's hoping Sorcerer's Apprentice is a part of the next core set. Cause then there's definitely no way they leave it as it is...again.
Weird audio thing around 0:45, maybe mic wire damaged?
P.D. Enjoy your time off, you certainly deserve it, and thx for the amazing videos!
As someone who auto-concede on hunters (cause I'm tired of them), an exploding hunter portrait feels like a scientific anomaly 😅
I surely hope you are talking about normal hunters?
they're gonna make her something like "your spells have +1 attack" 😒
That would lose all it's flavor. Maybe make it cost three mana and only have one health would nerf it enough.
"Your spells cost 1 less, but they can't cost less than (1)."

Blizzard: "We put in Wild, it's not our problem anymore !"
The bans to stealer of souls and demon seed for being problems unique to wild would like to have a word with you.
is it possible to get iceblock from the zephrys
Hopefully with this new year we can finally see spam mage dialed back but I doubt it.
30health+42armor Druid with 1/5 taunt was feeling safe. nope...not vs flameWaker
I just realized you can "swallow" your apprentices by casting siphon mana on them. This probably will never be useful but I thought it was interesting
More applicable to siphon your Mirror Images. Still rare, but yknow.
But its wild, things don't cost mana in wild
Chat mana is real? Cards were free all along?
wait what is that mage skin? i haven’t seen it on the shop
Anyone else's left ear hurt within the first minute?
Each year the Wild community: Can you nerf Apprentice?
Blizzard: Smth Smth it's on our radar!
Their radar is in dire need of repair.
It's so easy to fix too, all it needs is "the first spell you play each turn costs 1 less"
Happy new year, Roffle and gang!
"You spells can't be reduced below (1)"
Give it 2/3 stats, so Apprentice can survive more easily and be used over two turns.
I like this new Hearthstone solitaire mode, but what do the cards at the top of the board do?
Mana cheat is universal problem across all the classes. The only fair solution would require massive overhaul of the game but I think it would be worth it in the long run - no zero cost cards (apart from the coin) and cost reduction in the game never reduces cards below zero mana.

missing Luna, jammed Robes instead. pretty decent.
Apprentice just shouldn't reduce below (1) mana.
Just having it reduce spells by one mana, but not below one mana is such as easy and obvious fix, i dont understand why they havent done it yet.
3 mana 4/3 Apprentice has been confirmed actually
I come back to watch his vids and catch up with hearthstone and all I see are pirate warriors

Same as they did with Portal back during Snip Snap Warlock. Reduce cost, but not less than 1.
