Wow! Talk about small spell combo material! I just know this is going to become a key part of decks like OTK mage that like to cast a lot of spells in one turn.

Spellburst is one-time use. Something like delayed battlecry.

Yeah it is much better on a weapon because you cant destroy is as easily as a minion

wow seriously?!?!?!?!
Thought we would be done with giving out broken S*** cards to rhe classes which dont need them

What are they thinking?

the Incanter's Flow can already reduce spells below (1) if enough are played in a match. 

What will hold this card back isn't just cost but draw 

This is the content I come here for! Thank you :)

Great summary of the champions' cards--short, sweet, and to the point.

Miracla Mage can OTK you even without this card. But with that it will OTK you for sure. Imagine arcane missles for 11 and 12 dmg and then frostbolt for 13. You can hide it with Maiev Shadowsong first.

Any card that grants Immunity is worth taking seriously in my book. Like a nice extended version of Gladiator's Longbow.

How interesting - they printed a weapon that gets more value if you don't attack with it.

initially players will be tempted to use this with just medium to big cost cards (around 4-10), but there's not many spells you can play like that on curve for either class - Paladin's 4 drop spells consists of either a pitiful AOE, a single target removal/card draw, a single target buff spell or an AOE that would just make this minion have 1 health. Warrior on the other hand 4 drops are all single target removal that either need specific deck building (molten breath), a weaker fireball or...Dr Boom's scheme. 

please note I'm reviewing this card before all cards have been revealed, we'll most certainly have more spells by the time of the full release. At this time Paladin has more higher cost spells than Warrior in standard but Libram of hope is the only one that's seeing competitive play and you wouldn't play this weapon in a libram deck because of Libram of Justice

In my opinion this weapon is for control decks to help get extra value from the spells you'll already be playing. 

Warrior using Shield Block for some armor and card draw? get an extra speed bump against your opponent.

Paladin using Duel! to hopefully pull out Colossus of the Moon? at least get a 5/5 with taunt when you accidentally pull out a murmy instead. 

Because no one will use these taunts to win the game, just to prolong the game SO they can win. 

That pavel tribute is still probably the most mishandled of them all. Considering that both his and Tom's tribute cards are practically impossible to discern, its just a shame honestly.

Tom's probably the hardest to create a card out of, not helped by the numbers behind his name, but you'd think his card would've been a rogue card considering thats how he won the world champ in the first place. Same with pavel. It took like 2 years before it was confirmed, I think, that Chittering Tunneler was a tribute card.

Hunterace and Ostkaka's cards is still the best looking both in theme and art, in my opinion anyway.

Not really having super strong feelings about this card either way. Obviously it's a retooling of C[Hearthstone Card (abal Shadow Priest) Not Found], but I have no clue it it will end up as a powercreep, lesser version, or effectively the same thing. 

At least you can attack with it and have 2, not like  The Fist of Ra-den.

It seems nice. Kinda reminds me of The Fist of Ra-den.

At least if has high HP for its value.

I like that this has high HP but I since it has a high cost for what it does when you play it I don't think it will end up being included in spell mage.

Spellburst on a weapon is pretty interesting since you can very reliably play this on turn 3 and then wait until next turn before casting the spell. Though I still don't think this card is very good. Spirit of the Tiger was never a good card, and that triggered each time you cast a spell. But who knows, maybe this will be better since a 2/2 weapon is a million times more useful than a 0/3.

Same thought, also the general cards that need to be removed right away are always powerful.

Interesting enough I'm not sure this would be used in current aggro decks, I think what they are always looking for is ways to do more damage or get more resourses that deal damage to the face.
However, this is really good in control or value matchups as you can faceTank a lot of things and you get free minion trades for only 3 mana.

In wild it is possible to play an entire hand full of spells twice in one turn for very little mana, so it is entirely possible that you could get Spell Damage +5 or better the turn you player her. At that point though you could just as easily play Time Warp and get an extra turn, so I don't imagine she will make much of a splash in wild. I can't say much for standard.

Well of course... but if particular spellburst effect can't do anything, then will it trigger?

Does someone know if the effect from the spellburst takes effect before the spell's effect? For example I play Holy Nova and they have a board with 2/2s, do I get a 2/2 before they are wiped?

But bigger.

Honestly, I don't know how good this card is. It is really a "win more" card. If you are ahead of the board then play this guy and you stay ahead on the board. If you are behind then I guess you could use rush minions, but then you are only effecting one or two things in which case you may as well be running Deathspeaker.
