Seriously though this card doesn't look too bad. Think of it like a one-sided Volcano, or a more control oriented Priestess of Fury. I don't expect this to be terribly powerful, but I think it will work as a good enough board clear for a more control-ish deck.
They removed Velen coz of opressive otk things, yeah, this card not opressive at all with future lifesteal cards.
Even without otk, it's pushes aggro even more with direct damage, i thought dh is about attacking with weapon and weakness is - no dirrect damage. Guess i m wrong.
P.S. even if it is not broken, still not healthy for the game.
Are you sure? It says "if all die", it does not specifically say "if all 7 die". I would assume you only have to kill off the ones you summoned for the repeat effect, not summon all 7 and kill them.
The artwork and name don't really communicate the effect at all.
This can be quite good/annoying if you do Corrupt it. 2 Secrets for 4 mana is nothing to scoff at. Unfortunately, if you can't Corrupt it, then it's just bad. People naturally compare this to Arcane Keysmith when it isn't corrupted, although I also think Ancient Mysteries is a good comparison to illustrate how weak it is without corruption.
This is a problem that most Corrupt cards (so far) share, which might be what causes its downfall.
I forgot it was only the first minion but with 3 mo'args and il'gynoth you'd have 2 mana left so could do 2 blasts meaning 48 damage. Also wandmakers and the dragon could get you blasts/felosophy
This is a very silly card, which I suppose was kinda the point. Even if it can't hit face, it's a much better Spectral Pillager because you can actually play other cards in your turn! It's not difficult for this to do a lot of damage in many circumstances, but these types of cards usually fail because using them for Edwin VanCleef is just generally better, although this one is probably the closest one to being playable that there has been so far.
I absolutely love how creative this card is. It can definitely be strong in certain situations and give you a lot of surprise lethals.
But the problem with this card is that the more Lifesteal cards you run, the less effective their Lifesteal effect actually is because you're more likely to be at full Health. How many Lifesteal cards are you running, and how many are actually playable? If you're at full Health, then you have several useless Lifesteal effects in your hand. That and if you want to use them with Il'gynoth, they'll need to sit in your hand for several turns until you draw Il'gynoth. Granted, in a class with a shitload of draw, drawing Il'gynoth is generally not a problem.
Okay blizz/HS team, what were they smoking? Because this card is OP AF. Arcane Keysmith was pretty much must include in WILD secret mage and highlander mage, and Ring Toss is powercreeped version of Arcane Keysmith, and Ring Toss is a spell, meaning it gets generated a lot. WAIT IT'S ALSO A CORRUPTION CARD! This means that Y'Shaarj, the Defiler gives you the corrupted version for free... so it's 10 mana get a lot of free cards, and 4+ free secrets if you played at least 2 corrupted copies of Ring Toss... oh no...
Wild: "AHH sheet, here we go again." Secret mage will probably dominate in the meta again, all because of Ring Toss replaces Arcane Keysmith. Okay it might be hard for secret mage to corrupt it, but it might fill the role of a reload card, so you get more secrets after using a Cloud Prince. It will also see play in highlander and OTK mage decks, because this just increases the odds of getting Ice Block even more times.
When you open a lot of Ring Tosses, don't dust them. Because this will surely get nerfed. Even at 5 mana it will see a lot of play, and it will still be considered a must include...
My comment refers to Wild. I think you overestimate the usefulness of this card especially in Secret Mage. The obvious comparion is Arcane Keysmith which is not an auto-include in secret mage deck lists. My Secret Mage does not run it and probably won't run Ring Toss either. The corrupt will be difficult to pull off due the low mana curve (Aluneth is the highest cost card). In Highlander Mage this is far better and will probably be run, but I don't see this as OP.
In terms of raw value, a 3/3 weapon + 6/6 Taunt for 6 mana is obviously quite insane.
A 3-Attack weapon doesn't do quite as much at that stage in the game, but it's still something. If anything, you could use it as 9 face damage if you want to. I think this is a good card. 4 stars.
Remember when Infested Wolf was a good card? This is a better version of that.
This card seems on the cusp of being playable. It's a perfectly fair card, but 95% of the time, "perfectly fair" cards don't see play. It'll be pretty good in Arena though.
Seems strong. Even though you most likely do need an empty board to get full use out of it and trigger the "seven more" effect, it's not too hard to suicide what you have to get usage out of this. And all this chip damage can be really good.
Even if you do need to summon all 7 to get the "seven more" effect to trigger, you can just suicide one and play Wrathscale Naga afterwards which is a turn 10 combo capable of doing a lot of damage. It has good synergy with other cards like Nethrandamus or Fel Guardians, although neither of those two cards see much play.
It could be bad, but I'm going to go on a whim and say that it's good.
Why not remove the augmerchants and run felosophy to copy the 0 cost artificers
Edit: Nvm I forgot the cost reduction would only stay for one of them but you could get 48 damage by discounting one mo'arg, playing felosophy to dupe it and drawing a 3rd mo'arg then playing all 3 with il'gynoth and 2 felscream blast
it's not a bad single target removal - but how effective will this card be when year of the dragon rotates in standard? Rogue is reliant on Galakrond and Magic wand to discount cards for them to make big Edwin's and Questing adventurers.
Not certain if this guy will see play any time soon

New Mage Spell - Ring Toss
This is a strong card, and mage doesn't even need to slot it in their deck since they have so many discover spell mechanics.
Powerful by itself, if Mage somehow has a Yogg'Saron deck this will be included, since having a 10/10 body and casting 2 secrets is great tempo.
