Seems like everyone is freaking out on this card, most likely because it gives mana on a class other than druid. Unlike Darkglare, at least this one forces you to play a new and specific archetype rather than using a common mechanic that's existed for a long time (Self Damage).
Don't get me wrong, I think this card has the potential to be broken anyways. There will always be a way to abuse mana reduction or mana gain. I'll have to see the rest of the nagas first before I can make any judgment but so far Amalgam of the Deep and Spellcoiler are pretty good mana refreshers for this.
As long as they don't print any 1 mana or less cost nagas OR 2 mana or less cost nagas that can give more spells, I think this card will be fine.
Edit: I forgot School Teacher existed, that card is actually broken with Spitelash Siren. Just need one more card with the criteria I mentioned and I think the naga mage deck will be bonkers.
Edit 2: Naga Giant is definitely a card. If this deck is broken, we might have another Darkglare and Flesh Giant situation.
The naga requirement is probably the only thing stopping this card from completely taking over. There's just a limited pool of nagas around to fully take advantage of the 2 extra mana, and while you're playing nagas you're probably not having a bs hand filled with spells.
But something tells me that there's some OTK setup somewhere here, with two of these, a brewmaster, and Commander Sivara. Go infinite with Fireballs or Ignite perhaps.
First impression: "All hell could break loose if they print some draw for the deck."
Blizzard: Crushclaw Enforcer, Gifts of Azshara
Second thought: "Welp, there goes the neighborhood..."
i love this card,,
This could make Naga spell mage actually viable.
Play a 2 cost naga play a 2 cost spell repeat.
Then they have that legendary naga that gives them 3 spells back. This deck is coming along nicely.
Does this sound kind of nuts to anyone else? As long as you have cheap enough nagas and spells you can basically just go infinite (not entirely obviously, but still).
I mean, just imagine playing this, then playing Amalgam of the deep on it, then a spell, then another Naga, etc....
Shit could be nuts.
This is going to get nerfed very soon into the expansion launch lol. There's no way in hell this can't be bonkers.
nah I think that's going too far. It's a 4-mana card that needs at least 1-more mana to activate (meaning it's a great play after School Teacher) which means the earliest you can go off is at 5-mana and it requires you to have a specific set-up in hand already and even then you're not doing anything crazy for the most part, just getting out a bunch of stuff and probably discovering a spell or two. There's no endgame to this yet outside of tempo and value which is good because MAge has been focussed on killing people from hand for too long.
Is Oracle of Elune a bad card just because you can't use it effectively on turn 3?
No. In fact, it's a build-around card that enables the most powerful deck in the game.
Until they print a 0 cost 1/1 naga-ling (which is a high possibility). But Priest with it's 0 cost naga legendary could profit from this, but I still don't know what kind of deck Priest would have. Sorry didn't see it was Mage card.
Nerf: 2/5 > 2/4
The health is the only problem I see with it so far.
Maybe, or maybe it ends up like Scabbs Cutterbutter who is an appropriate comparison: crazy on paper, perfectly fine in practice.
Perfectly fine in Standard only. In Wild Scabbs is the backbone of one of the fastest OTKs in the game (Pillager Rogue tends to kill around turn 5-6 with a good hand).
Aye, I reached Legend with Pillager Rogue just this month. It's nasty as hell and would be nowhere near as good without Scabbs.
to be fair I'm still waiting for some sort of turn 4 play that makes Scabbs bonkers.
