Demon wrath was already a good card with the main downside being that it’s useless in the mirror, this still hits demons while also giving you healing later on, and giving fuel for other cards. I’d be amazed if this didn’t see a lot of play

Even in a pure Libram deck I don’t see this being all too great really. Usually cards like this support big swarm turns the best for an aggressive deck, which librams aren’t nearly consistent enough to be able to do early on enough for it to matter much

Did the designers read the fan creations here? This is a Shaman Wishing Stars with some balancing differences.

Art is just out of theme entirely for Shaman.  I feel like this got very deep in design before they swapped it from Mage to Shaman.

Should be enjoyable in shaman, RIP totem dreams!!!

Hm, potential synergy with Lorekeeper Polkelt? Polkelt would sort all your soul fragments to the bottom, keeping them safe for your other cards that need them. You just have to be careful not to create any more soul fragments, since they'd get shuffled into the deck, ruining that nice order Polkelt gave you.

If Shaman had good card draw it would be a good addition to a burn shaman to try to discover lightning bolts

I think that even if you can discount this by only 1 mana it's already good enough. I'm not sure if Priest can make a good deck that can do that consistently, but Paladin has Hand of A'dal so it may fit into decks that don't use Librams as well.

Exciting as a mage player!

This is solid I think.  If you hit something like torrent you're super happy.  With some good luck you can hit a miracle turn, with some bad luck you play a 3 mana 3/3 that disovers you like two spells.  You can also just go fishing for burn pretty hard.  

It's solid, decent design but a little bit bland.  It could also be one of those cards thats a lot more fun to play than it seems so we'll see.  

Finally the pieces of the wild spell damage mage I've been working on every expansion are assembling! 

There's a few things you can compare this card too.

First off, looking at the stats it's a spider tank without a tribal tag. The lack of a tag is somewhat negligible in standard, mechs haven't been that important since Boomsday Project rotated into wild, which means that this minion can still be played on curve if you want with no threat of removal outside of Shadowbolt.

The battlecry is very reminiscent of Blackwing Corruptor - both dealt 3 damage to any target they wanted, and both were placed in decks with specific construction requirments (Dragons for Blackwing Corruptor, Soul Fragments for Shadowlight Scholar).

Blackwing saw tons of constructed play before he rotated, I firmly believe this minion will also see a fair bit of play in constructed as well, and might be a real incentive for warlocks to use the soul fragment cards.

This has a good potential for an individual spell, but I don't see it being able to do more than 2 per turn unless you happen to be lucky enough to have a Dwarven Archaeologist on the board already. 

Now if this were a Mage/Shaman hybrid, it would be ridiculous.  But since you are restricted to the Shaman mana pool and cost reduction there, it will be limited.  Where Electra Stormsurge was able to duplicate a spell for free, and this will allow you to duplicate the effect for free, you still have to cast the original spell.  Unless you get "lucky" and with the Dwarven Archaeologist on deck and run into a selection always having Lightning Bolt be available, you're not getting a lot.  But will still be fun I bet. 

Odd Baku Warlock and DH have a lot of potential now. Let's wait and see!

Sort of like Darkbomb but you can't target the opponent character. Interesting!

Getting a strong C'thun vibe from this package! Can't wait to try it!

Kobold Stickyfingers wants this blade!

Great card, can easely discover you 2 spells. Great for control/value shaman, as the effect gets better the later into the game you are. This will see a LOT of play! The legendaries this set really do not dissapoint! (Well MOST of them don't dissapoint.)

You can also trigger some neat death rattles with this too!

Very nice support for Spell Shaman as well as a great card for Quest/Highlander Shaman.

On a side note, is anyone else kinda sad that all the summon animations this expansion all seem to be a swirly cloud of color and nothing exuberant like we have had the last couple of expansions?

This is probably one of the better Soul Fragment generators -

Volcanic Potion saw some constructed play in mage decks as early removal (since Arcane Explosion is REALLY bad), and warlocks who play control haven't have good, cheap aoe removal since Defile since KotFT.

True for 1 mana more you can play hellfire, but Hellfire has the drawback of hurting your hero as well, and by turn 4 your opponent's aggressive board my have already hit you for enough that you don't want to deal 3 additional damage to yourself.

This comes out a turn faster, doesn't hurt your hero, and shuffles in 2 cantrips that will heal you for the cost of your hero power, which warlocks love to use.

5 star card, will see play in constructed

They'll make it a 6 mana card, watch. Totally sick in an odd DH deck.

Combo with Brann in Wild would be sick

Damage to whom? Any character?

I am intrigued about the new soul fragment mechanism. Great things, I hope!
