Best reveal day for me so far. First and foremost: Wronchi reveals are the best <3
The Wisp package looks interesting and fun to play.
Agamaggan ("piggy") already sparked a deck building discussion in Wild circles. We're looking for ideas to discount it and combo with Glinda Crowskin.
For the folks lifting an eyebrow at [Hearthstone Card (Q'onzu) Not Found]: Merch Seller :D :D :D
Now this explains how Wisp landed up in the core set for this year. Would be funny if we actually include the core set card into this wisp mage deck, just for more wisps
Spark of life - Its a one mana discover a spell and therefore will be playable. Not much else to say. Druid spells can be good if you hit ramp early but its always a gamble at the end
Stellar Balance - The only point here is that youre spending 2 mana to deal damage to face. Its kinda not that great, because you can just fireball face with 4 mana and deal 6 damage without having to spend an additional 6 mana to deal a total of 8 damage. Its a discover card for more damage, other than that you'll never see it in deck inclusions.
Q'onzu - Ive no idea why this is a legendary. Another one of those deadline day dart toss cards, because in what world would anyone even bother playing this outside of it being a 3/4 discover a spell card. I suppose it has better stats than vulpera scoundrel, so that's why its a legendary :P
And no, the ability to put the spell on your opponent's topdeck is not a big deal. You ruined your opponent's topdeck, maybe, but guess what? They may not actually care. Most decks nowadays draws well enough, and what mage spell is so terrible that giving it to your opponent necessitates a comically exaggerated sad face out of them? I suspect this option to be picked only out of desperation.
Aessina - It may look like you can put this in any deck but in reality it'll only be the hp wisp mage deck that this will see play in. Because there's no world that you can get 20 minions to die in a game as mage without cards that generate a fuck ton of tokens, of which mage really doesnt have any. And its only really decent because if your opponent has big minions down you cant guarantee its death, or guarantee significant damage to face. I suppose you can always just expanse + this to deal 20 damage to face.
As for the other imbue hp cards...its rather good. Wisp mage may actually be overpowered enough in an underpowered meta that it might get nerfed, unless team5 have (predictably) printed a neutral card that disrupt hp. Why is it good? because it does two things that hearthstone games rely on - damage that can hit face or clear boards, and puts out board yourself. At high enough levels, the hp alone can destroy the opponent because its basically a board flip every turn for two mana. Wisprider in particular practically doubles your hp for that turn, combined with sing-along buddy to deal massive damage.
Whether it can sustain this throughout the next year? Probably not. In fact, its only playable in an underpowered meta because its probably too slow. Any decent midrange deck probably destroys this deck. Consider facing against discover hunter and have four 2/5s out on board. Your hp effectively now does nothing significant and you're probably gonna die. And that scenario is hardly unique.
At least mage does have a deck ready, even if the legedary is a bit meh. Will this be better than playing protoss mage though? Pretty sure its not, until protoss cards inevitably gets nerfed.
It's really hilarious that a card called Stellar Balance does not in face have, stellar balance. It'll only see play if very specific combo pieces come out later down the line. Starfire is still a bad card even when it deals 6 damage.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's also the first class card in the game that specifically names and generates another class card from a different class altogether.
Years expecting Wisp Druid and we ended up getting Wisp Mage ๐๐ค
