Thanks for the sage advice and guidance everyone. I guess if I beat a watergate wizard, the next time I will have to change strategy due to his versatility. I will try these strats out and see what works best. :-) btw, which mage best counters watergate?

A Necromancer could be the answer! But he's good vs all mages.
Akiro, I have never prayed to you before. No one will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, or why we died. All that matters is that one stood against many. That's what's important! Valor pleases you, Akiro... so grant me strength! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

Maybe, any well played mage always has a chance if the dice roll in their favor.

Hmm.. so most ppl would agree that wizard is best mage? Does he need nerfing?

No, no I don't agree to that at all but there have been dozens of discussions on that topic. Any mage can dominate if you can get their tempo and style down but that's just my opinion.

What we must all remember is no matter the game we were all newbies at one point.

Wizard doesnt need a nerf, the other schools need a bigger card pool. But like it has been said, countless of topics about that.

Ok, was just wondering what other people have thought about him. I do very well in local tourney with FM in your face hyper aggro style. For the first time, playing a watergate wizard (and using a lot of air spells), my tempo got stalled immensely. And as the rounds went on, and his mage taking minor to no damage, I knew by round 4-5 the game was over. Plus the horrible rolls on his gorgon didn't help either. Lol. However, it was a good lesson learned that I can't play every mage the same. And my opponent, humble in his win, admitted to the voltaric build being very strong (especially vs FM).
