    If you're looking to unlock the Golden Mage Basic cards, you're going to be playing a lot of Hearthstone!

    Mages have a slight deviation from the unlock pattern of most other classes as there will be one less Neutral Golden to unlock. The first 10 levels you'll unlock non-Golden class cards at even-numbered levels (5x2 cards in total). Next, you'll unlock Golden versions of all Basic class cards between levels 15 and 52, before ending with Golden Neutral Basic card unlocks at levels 53-60. Check out the details down below.
