Targets face so looks good
-=alfi=-
I like that it deals damage and essentially replaces itself with another spell.

Cool, thank goodness we have some face damage.
This is totally decent. But I have always loved the discover effect
Really good card, but Mage has enough generation >:(
4 Mana 7/7
Here's the face damage replacement, with the added bonus of spell discovery.
At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit.
Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.
Damage and value. Very good card that will be an autoinclude in almost all mage decks
Just a really good card. Works as burn too, so maybe Spell Damage mage isn't entirely fucked.
Btw is anyone else confused by how little Spell School support we got this expansion? I guess it's an ongoing theme but I expected at least something with Arcane Spell Damage
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Good value
By old breath, you got cancelled!
REALLY good card, it's kind of a mix between Frostbolt and Magic Trick (okay you could also call it "Arcane Breath that goes FACE")
Mage actually needed a cheap Discover card, because Magic Trick and Arcane Breath are rotating, so my Casino mage heart love this. Still WILD Casino mage probably won't use it, because we have Primordial Glyph. But who knows, random is random so you never know! :)
RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.
This seems good. I mean its a more consistent arcane breath but it costs 1 more mana. I think that given the need for cheap removal in mage this will certainly see use.
Nobody ever really played Frostbolt for the freezing anyway. This deals -1 damage but it gives you a whole new spell to cast, which is huge.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Great card. Will boost the already very powerful spell damage Mage in concerning ways.

This is just amazing! Could get that extra face damage mage needs.
basically a bit better Arcane Breath. not sure if this will make the cut tho
too good to be true
nice
Kenny's little poet. 😇
Mage wouldn't be Mage without cheap direct damage. 2 damage may not be enough to clear some early-game minions, but still decent.
OBLIVION!
it will be included in any mage deck
I am 69 years old and still reach Legend
More support for quest mage in wild
cool maybe mozaki mage still be playable
Auto-include
Rogue DH
Will see lots of play! I call it!
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
good good, mage needs this now
I was a little worried about losing Magic Trick -- that card has been hugely important in so many ways. Without it, Arcane Luminary was going to be iffy, but now I think it might find a home.
It might be better than Frostbolt, i like it
Very good card. It's definitely worse for board control than Frostbolt, but in exchange, it is way more flexible
Nice
Surely it will, it can target face and will always discover something. Discovered card can be discounted, so this is great!
Insanely strong. Value generation, tempo, face damage, will see play in every mage deck.
Yup. Comments. Good.
Chumbawumba is the worst band name.
It does something definite and gives you an option for a better turn later.
The only downside to this card is that puzzlebox would be rotating. But otherwise its flexibility will allow it to see play in many mage decks around.
5 star card, will be in a lot of decks.
Ability to hit face puts it over the top imo
English is not my native language, so please excuse occasional mistakes
Gotta keep that RNGoing!
hello burn
As if mage needed more discover
Arcane Breath is rotating out, so this seems like a good replacement and you don't even need Dragons.
Great 5/5 deal damage ,discover spell,can go face.
I think Frostbolt is better on average, but it's still a good card. I have very little doubt that it will see play.
Arena > Wild > Standard
So they continue Discover train with mage, huh? Really good card on its own.
great card for any mage, its a better hero power that generates another card
Pretty decent, flexible, and could be useful for various archetypes and situations.
Should see play
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
2 damage, discover is an easy addition to Quest Mage in wild.
100% will add to my Memege.
Papa Nurgle wants to share his gifts.
Good card
Well, at least it can't infinitely Discover itself.
(Right?)
This is Arcane Breath for one more mana, but no dragon restriction and can go face. Arcane Breath was a powerful and versatile card, and I think a one mana tax for more flexibility won't hurt Runed Orb's chances of competitive viability.
For glory, honor, and gold!
Nice solid card. This will be in a lot of decks.
Casual Dragon Cardgame enthusiast.
A decent spell, I wonder can it discover itself?
Very good spell, can target face too.
Hope it won't be nerfed
Bad card.
good cycle, dealing damage (to face), synergises with the "not originally in deck" theme
Damage and discover is always a nice combo.
Arcane Breath, but better since there are fewer Discover cards.
Yay, more mage spell generation... why am I not surprised. It replaces Frostbolt so I'm sure this card will be added to most mage decks
TREMBLE before.... the most legendary dragon that ever existed!
Another auto-include
I'm not online
it's just your imagination
Strong card, mage have tons of sinergy with cards that didn't start on his deck, so that spell will see tons of play for sure.
By The Holy Light!
Powerful mage card with insane value
I like this card as you can fish for answers.
Reminds me of Arcane Breath for more mana but without the condition.
I think this will be a staple in every mage deck, so good.

Amazing value card and common too.
Good card overall.
Challenge me ... when you're ready to duel a god!
Good discover card, will be great in Spell Power decks.
Okay-ish on it's own, but will all the Spell Damage boosters out there this could be strong as comob piece.
Valuable ! Nothing more to say !
Murlocs <3
awesome resource generator
Better frostbolt in certain situations great for value mage overall pretty decent.
Well maybe if you need a cheap removal spell in your mage deck you run it, decent

Crazy good value - will see tons of play.
good
Considering the lack of other options given to mage, adding to the fact that it "replaces" itself, I'm guessing that only the advent of a much more powerful new tool would phase Runed Orb out of virtually every single mage deck.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

I believe cards that Discover random cards can no longer Discover themselves.
2 damage and a discovered card. Solid
I like what this card does, but then again I've always been a sucker for cards that replace themselves while doing something else. Can be good early game removal that finds you another relevant tool. Solid card. Not busted, just good.
I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.
A better arcane breath....
It's similar to Arcane Breath, but you pay 1 more mana, no requirement for a spell and can go face. Good enough
Staple, if you played Frostbolt then you're gonna play this too. No reason not to run it all the time.
Nice cheap direct damage, and you get a new spell after you cast it. What's not to love?
Seems solid. And works well with Arcane Luminary.

Very cool card, definetly a staple in spell Mage decks
Not only to minions, we can target enemy - fine! And extra discover always be good
This seems like an auto-include in all Mage decks until rotation. 2 damage is mediocre, but also generating another spell is super powerful.
2 damage with a spell generation. Definitely a good card!
This will be in the majority of my mage decks
I've been here a while; just hanging out in the background.
Very good, can discover Wildfire for hero power mage.
Card go brrrrr
great card
More Casino Mage options. I think it will see play.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
Yay! Spell Damage Mage gets atleast a little support this expansion
The damage isn't anything exciting but discovering another spell will probably make it good enough to be included in most Mage decks.
I think this will see a lot of use. A solid 2 mana spell with a discover. I like it.
Pretty solid. 1 mana more expensive than arcane breath, but also without the precondition. Will probably see a lot of play, but won't be broken
discover and can hit face. nice spell
Deal damage, Discover card. I don't know if I want to include this card in burn-type of decks but I would love to discover it.
As others have said, good low-cost damage spell to replace the loss of something like Frostbolt in that slot. The Discover more than makes up for the lower damage in my opinion - but then I do love my random Mage cards.
Welcome to the site!
Good spell. 2 damage and discover value.
A common that could have been an epic
For The HORDE!
Can hit face. Replenishes a card. Combos with quest mage. Overall a good card.
Can this discover itself? Because if so, throw down a couple Sorcerer's Apprentices and you've got yourself a turn 4 OTK, even if statistically it's basically impossible, even in a trolden video.
