New Mage Spell - Refreshing Spring Water

Better than Arcane Intellect? No

edit: I was so so wrong

Insane card.  Not only is it guaranteed to be a 0-mana draw 2 for spell Mages but even in a regular deck it’s highly likely to refresh at least 2 mana crystals on average. I can’t think of a scenario where it’s not worh the risk. 

Too bad spells aren't as prevalent in Arena

Better than Arcane Intellect? No

Yes, 0 mana better than 3 my dude

Better than AI, really good card

straight up bonkers in no minion mage

Pretty amazing in Spell only mage and might even be good in other decks although Arcane intellect probably beats it in those still

Mage got the best cards this expansion, fight me!
This is bonkers, I love it!

Insane card, it's Arcane Intellect with mana cheating, and it's often similar to Cutting Class. (0 mana draw 2)

This is going to 100% see play in spell heavy decks and spell-only mage. Very solid card.

Very good card

this will be great in mage

Broken in no minion mage, it also seems incredibly strong in general mage decks. 

This woman looks so dehydrated that I can't tell whether she's a human or a undead!

Great card for spell mage essentially a 0 cost for 2 free draws in a no minion list

I feel like you are always going to draw at least one spell in mage and if you do draw at least one this is a strictly better card than the 3 mana draw 2.

This is absolutely nuts. You can throw this in pretty much any mage deck and get enough discounts to justify running this over arcane intellect. But in dedicated spell decks, this is better and more reliable than Cutting Class.

0 mana draw 2? Sounds pretty sweet to me:)

Since Mage is all about spells, you're gonna refresh at least 2 most of the time. Kinda like a lighter Book of Specters, but opposite (Fungal Fortunes actually, but it's a different class). Great for sure.

only good for spell only mage

very good card especially in spell mage

good card

Wow that is some support for spell mage. I approve

I don't know which cards are rotating for No Minion Mage, but if it's still viable, this is pretty amazing.

spell mage support, a very powerful support

Great card to fit into spell mage!

seems like mozaki mage will still be a thing

Freeze combo mage is coming back guys

Spell Mage support

I hope spell mage abuses this and gets Deck of Lunacy nerfed for me. Yay, dust! 

Wow this card is basically zero mana draw 2 cards in no minion mage 😱absolutely bonkers

It is definitely NOT just for Spell Mage. The fact that the refresh isn't all-or-nothing makes this an auto-include in most Mage decks. You would always use this over Arcane Intellect (or use both).

Too good in spell mage if that goes off

I think it's pretty decent, better than arcane intellect with at most 2 mana draw 2

This is an excellent card

Nice

Absolutely broken in any kind of Miracle Mage, like Mozaki Mage.

In no minion mage this is just crazy. In all else, its basically just a worse Arcane Intellect most of the time.

Cram Session is still the better card for a minion based mage.

I think this card is legitimately powerful. Obviously has a real home in Oops, All Spells Mage, but beyond that paying four to draw two is not bad, especially if you end up getting some or all of that Mana back. Very good, will see play.

In a spell only mage this is just free, and if it's discounted it's even better.

this is so good

Whatever. Probably will see play, but not having any special opinion of it.

That's spme bog biscuits.

Spell mage decks love this even normal mage could play it but it will see a lot of play from when it is discovered from other spells.

Food mage meta, with whole deck eating biscuits until Biscuit Elemental fatrolls us all.

Naturally slots into Spell Mage. Not that that deck is the strongest deck of them all, but that makes it guaranteed to see play already. And even if you draw just 1 spell on average it already is a better Arcane Intellect, which sees plenty of play.

can be a better arcane intellect or a worse, in a no minion mage deck this is really good

Good in no-minion mage. 0-cost card, so in turn 4 we can play it, draw 2 cards and we still have 4 mana.

great card

Just refreshing once is enough to be worth it, 2 mana draw 2.

Poor ol' Arcane Intellect... overshadowed by everything.

Crazy in spells deck. Good in otk deck

It's most likely outcome is either draw two for two mana or draw two for free. Solid card and design

The flavor text is refreshing : "Mana" is just another name for "electrolytes."
Also, the card is pretty good!

Love the flavor! Should get full value out of this most of the time. 

Draw cards, for free! Sign me up. Even just 1 spell it's a cheaper Arcane Intellect. Definitely going to see play.

not bad! more draw is good, especially with the refund for spell mage 

This is likely to see some play in spell mage.

Absolutely OP card can be a 0 mana draw 2 in a pure spell mage, which is just next level insane. With mana biscuit you can even get 2 more mana out of it

Great for only spells mages

Typically better than Arcane Intellect. Still think I'd rather run AI though.

Spell mage buff

Well, arcane intellect is more stable than this one.

This is only good in no minion mage, otherwise it´s a unnecesary risk for other builds.

Perfect addition to Spell Mage.

Insane Card , because most of the time this will be 0 Mana draw 2. 

Can we just play no minions (or a few only) just to draw 2 for 0? It seems powerful but at the end not sure to do something crazy with this

0 mana draw 2 cards pog

Really good on spell mage. In "normal" decks this is an AI, in spell-only decks it's way better.

Spell heavy mages will use this probably

0 mana draw 2 cards? ok Blizz, you did it again.

No minion mage was pretty good, particularly with C'Thun, the Shattered, and a "0 mana draw 2" effect for that deck is probably good enough to drive people back to the archetype

I don't know why, I love this design. That's so cool.

0 mana draw 2! Crazy highroll potential also at 2 mana it is good enough. Pretty strong card for sure.

good

0 mana draw 2? Ahhh, refreshing....

The support card spell mage desperately needed to be viable. 0 mana draw 2 in that deck, potentially 2 mana draw 2 in a lot of others.

Very good for spell mage, decent draw and cast engine

Good card but there seem to be so many 4 mana cards that I don't know if kazakus will ever see play

Nice draw spell

Pretty damn sweet in no-minion mage, and probably at least decent in any other mage deck.

Weak 

Even if only one of the two cards drawn is a spell it's already better than Arcane Intellect, so it'll see a lot of play for sure

Seems EXTREMELY good. Maybe enough to actually make a Mozaki, Master Duelist machine gun mage good??

Bonkers strong in Pure Spell Mage, and probably decent in other Mage decks, especially Control Mage.

This looks good. I didn't realize its potential at first, but a spell heavy deck almost always gets this card half price or free. I think it could be much fun.

Very strong -- it's still good even if your deck is half and half.

Very good, even if it only draws one spell

"If your deck has no minions, draw 2 cards for free"

Fixed!

STONKS

good card

Spell only mage is gonna be great this time, other archetypes wouldn't run it in a hundred years so... All in all, bonkers!

Even at 1 spell this is great. Will see a lot of play.

Broken in Spell Mage, insane in any other deck. Could see it being nerfed to 5 mana in the future.

Excellent card draw with potential upside that is VERY good. 

it will be a free draw in the right deck. nice

0 or 2 mana draw two cards for almost every Mage deck, seems solid.

Spell Mage likes this card, but it can be too risky to pay 4 mana to draw 2 cards. But, even if you draw 1 spell it's better than Arcane Intellect.

Auto-include in No Minion Mage. Everywhere else... eh, I'll let other people figure out the break point for how many spells this needs to be good and just copy their homework.

Possible 2 mana draw 2.  Strong in spell mage.

If spell only will still be played this can be good

0 mana draw 2 cards is bonkers lol. Even 2 mana is too.

In a spell mage deck this is an auto include.  For most normal mage decks, it's a decent card, but unlikely to replace Arcane Intellect anytime soon.

Mage loves to run spells, so this is often a two mana draw two and occasionally is free. We know how good free card draw is thanks to Rogue, so I think Mages will build their decks to support consistently getting a 0-2 mana draw two cards.

This is beyond broken. After Incanter's Flow you gain Mana from it. You can play a 1 Mana Spell, draw two cards and still are at full mana.

If you're on 4 mana and play Coin + Refreshing, why do you end up with only 4 mana?

It probably only refreshes your permanent mana crystals and not the temporary ones like from The Coi or Innervate as it states “refresh” in the text. Similarly, it should not refill overloaded mana crystals either.

No, you end up with 4 mana crystals (learned the hard way today, the temporary crystal dissapears)

If you play the coin, you go to 5 mana.  You then have 5 mana.  Starting at 5 mana, you spend 4 of it on Refreshing.  That leaves you with 1 mana.  Refilling 2 mana per spell drawn should refill 4 mana.  4 + 1 = 5.

The coin does not give you an extra mana crystal, gives you temporary mana which disappears once spent. After playing Refreshing Spring Water, you still only have 4 mana crystals, but only 3 of them are spent since you used the temporary mana from the coin to cast it.

You gain a mana crystal for that turn.  If you play the coin on 4 mana, it shows you having 5 mana.   If you play it in another order (Refreshing THEN Coin) you end up with 5 mana.  It should work either way IMO.
