New Mage Spell - Elemental Allies

hard for consistent completion...but the reward is amazing

1-mana draw 3 by doing something you were already trying to.

I wonder if Arcane Servant would be playable with this.

effect is very strong, looks like strong enough for nerf in the future if they give mage something like buffed Luna's Pocket Galaxy.

So the reward is absolutely insane, I am just unsure on how reliable it will be to complete.

Violet Spellwing certainly makes it easier, the problem is really the lack of elementals in standard for Mage right now. Future potential for this card is huge so long as Mage gets more elementals.

1 mana draw 3 is compelling enough that people are going to try to make this work in a Mage deck - maybe Cyclone mage considering the other support tools like the new giant and legendary.

Absolutely amazing. In wild, you could just play a firefly and this quest is completed. In standard this shouldn't be much harder to do. And drawing 3 cards is incredible, and drawing spells is even better. I could see this being played in a deck that runs a few choice high-cost spells and naga sandwich. You could also use Book of Specters and other such cards to make a tempo elemental mage deck. 

Whatever happens, this card will probably be used a lot simply because drawing 3 is incredible. The only downside to the card is that it is impossible to get the draw on the same turn you play the quest, which does make it slightly slower. 

Bad i dont think there is enough elementals in standard and its hard to keep the cain going for 2 turns

There's Arcanosaur and Bonfire Elemental, but except that there's no reason to play many Elementals. 

strong effect, 1 mana cost is perfect for cyclone and there are elementals very consistent in this moment 

Would of been amazing during the year of the raven, but not now. I don't see enough good elementals for mage to be able to consistently activate this side quest.

A one mana draw 3 has to be good right? I think so

This doesn't synergise terribly well with the traditional minion-heavy elemental deck, seems more like a mana cyclone enabler.

this is the elemental flavor we've been missing for almost a whole year now

Uber spell tutor could play the spell wing and then the legendary to get a few on board in one turn I don't expect to see this too much but it will come up 

Not that hard to complete, and gives a lot of card draw for it as well. If there’s ever another expansion focusing on elementals I wouldn’t be surprised if they nerfed this

I'll play this in my Wild Odd Elemental Frost Lich Jaina (specific, I know) deck, but that's about it. There just aren't enough good elementals in standard right now.

The effect is very strong, though its much harder to do in Standard atm, and it might be too slow for wild.

Great card for Wild Elemental Mage! Also good for Mage decks that want to thin out the deck like Aluneth decks. It refills the hand and keeps the tempo going. 5/5

This sidequest is really good probably the best in my opinion of the whole set

Great reward, although not very easy to pull of in standard. However works great in wild!

I loved elemental mage when Frost Lich Jaina was a thing but now not enough support for it maybe this will shine next year.

Still have to figure out if in standard you can create a nice elemental mage deck, still this boy seems pretty powerful.

Fire Fly is made for this! In standard it's hard to justify this card. Running a lot of Elementals seems weird now, and if you run a lot of Spells like in Cyclone Mage, you don't have room for Elementals :/

I don't think it is playable with Mana Cyclone, There is a potential to mill yourself with all the random spells that Mana Cyclone generates.

I think this might bring some new archetypes to mage. I meant old but new; remember Curio Collector ?

No chance but it is still an opportunity while there is also Bonfire Elemental that also draws cards.

Draw 3 spells in mage is very powerful. Especially since you can set it up for just 1 mana. I don't think there are much playable elementals in standard other than Mana Cyclone and violet [Hearthstone Card (spellwing) Not Found], but it should be very powerful in wild. Even just the inclusion of Fire Fly and Mana Giant in a quest mage could bring back cyclone mage.

Don't know really but elemental  mage seems really posible thanks to cards like this a tempo oriented deck with lots of randomness through mana cyclone's swing turn

Only one sidequest I really like. But I'm not sure if its strong or weak...

I thought Fire Fly would never go away.

Welcome back, scamp.

ya..more cyclone mage supporting cards but a bit slow since you have limited elementals..maybe more suitable for elemental mages..

Someone will find a way to make Elemental Mage work in Standard just for this. Mark my word.

Drawing 3 cards for 1 mana is great. However, this side quest might be difficult to fulfill, since there are not many elementals in the card pool right now. In addition, you have to think one turn ahead if you want to fulfil the side quest, whilch makes the condition even more difficult.

the condition is not that hard to fullfill, seems really strong, card draw is really strong in hearthstone in general and this draws 3 for 1 mana for playing an elemental deck..

Best sidequest by far.

Seems playable enough.

Really good in the right deck. Maybe not cyclone because of milling though.

The reward is amazing, but the condition is not easy to complete. Even if you can complete it, maybe playing the elementals wasn't your best play so you still losing tempo.

Thanks to the new elementals in the new expansion maybe it will see play in cyclone mage.

Cool card overall

Despite the tremendous value on this card, I still doubt it will see play in Standard. In Wild there is a bigger amount of Elemental available (Fire Fly etc), so this is easier to pull off. Maybe another Elemental expansion next?

Not sure if this will be played a lot in standard, I actually see it a better match for wild with some sort of elemental mage deck.

A very good sidequest but i don't think mages have enough strong elementals to play in their decks. Yeah Violet Spellwing helps to complete it but i'm not sure if it will be enough to make the sidequest consistent. If mages will be able to have enough elems in their deck this quest might be great.

An elemental could be Violet Spellwing, Mana Cyclone, Cosmic Anomaly, Zephrys the Great, Siamat, Mountain Giant, Ragnaros to name a few obvious ones.

So this quest should not be that hard to complete, and the reward is very good. But it costs you a slot, and its not as consistent as normal draw. I like the other sidequest of mage more.

1 mana draw 3 specific type of card? It's super strong

If you build your deck around it, it's easy to complete

To me, this is the most interesting card of the set.

Together with Violet Spellwing, it makes Quest Mage just as fast as Sniplock.

I expect this to be the best sidequest.  Really good cyclone mage support

It takes alot of time to do this quest since elemental isn't a thing since un'goro

One of the best sidequests IMO.

Super strong effect, but elementals aren'e being played at all really. Probably really strong in Wild though.

I wish I was as convinced as you are. It seems a bit off in terms of timing to promote Elemental Mage with so few new elementals and a couplethousand metric tons of Dragons coming are way.

Elementals want to be played on one turn and then the following turn anyway, so this condition is extremely straightforward and the reward helps you draw more cards which probably include yet more Elementals to keep the chain going. A great sidequest card.

Mage already has good card draw mechanics. Elemental chaining was always awkward and hard to achieve in ungoro. We now have less good elementals, no fire fly and not that many curve minion chains. Besides, this does not draw right away. If you want to draw you don't wait 2 turns for it.

Elemental mage was the first deck I really got into. It may not be top tier, but I'm brushing it off in wild once this set goes live.

I don't know, you would really want elemental heavy deck for this to work, and we didn't really get much of that this expansion. If it would fit naturally in some of the existing decks it would be great, but to build your deck around card that just gives you draw, in a class that doesn't really struggle with it, is not really worth it imo.

I'm looking at it from Standard perspective, in Wild this could have much more potential.

Yeah, when I played elemental shaman I used to run out of stuff. Elemental mage did not have this problem due to Book of Specters

The reward is insane, but this can be hard to achieve in standard (one firefly basically takes care of it). Overall not enough incentive to play elemental mage. It can work with cyclone mage, but setting it up may be too troublesome. 

Seems a quest fairly easy to complete. The reward it's insane. In wild it's just broken.  

Should be fairly easy to complete, and the reward is really good. Even better in Wild!

1 mana draw 3 is obviously insane, and it has support in this expansion with . Works great with . Seems like a certain include for Spell Mage. But based on what I've seen from Theorycrafting Livestreams so far I'm wondering what the late-game of this deck will be. Once you've drawn all your spells and cycled through your deck, what's your win condition? Especially as you'll be using a lot of your spells dealing with huge dragons and other minions on the board.

A gift from Blizzard for cyclone mage. Reward is super strong and we already have some great elementals for archetype. 

By far the most powerful sidequest I've seen so far. Arcane Intellectfor those elemental decks FTW!

Is three spells from your deck better than 3 random spells? Not sure, only 3 stars
