Hearthstone Standard Rotation: The Best Mage Cards Leaving Standard in 2019

#2 Primordial Glyph

Expansion: Journey to Un'Goro

Primordial Glyph is just straight up busted. It became an auto-include in many Mage decks because the discount of 2 mana is extremely strong. 4 mana Blizzard, 5 mana Flamestrike, 3 mana Dragon's Fury and more are just broken and unfair. The cost of this spell is also really cheap and discovering a spell can also help in many situations.

If you're playing against an aggro deck, a 0 mana Frostbolt can help clear their big guys. Or a cheap secret. Or any of the above mentioned cheap board clears.

#1 Frost Lich Jaina

Expansion: Knights of the Frozen Throne

Guess you saw this coming. Mage's Death Knight hero is extremely effective and she can be quite hard to kill. You can't risk putting any minion at 1 health or she gets a free Water Elemental with her hero power. With other Elementals in the deck, Lifestealing away is a great option to just stay alive.

Frost Lich Jaina is among the best Death Knight heroes released in the set and some people are sighing of relief that she will leave soon.
