Its main purpose is, as you guessed it, to supply you with arcane bolts. So if the bolts are key then this would be key.

But it is significantly worse than Arcane Wyrm. Bad stats for cost, and being a deathrattle means your opponent can interact with it (or you got to pop it).

Viability dependent on arcane bolt's, which is not a good sign for this card.

Arcane hasn't always been the best spell school in mage, so this is just an apprentice for an OTK, which is perfectly fine because its predecessor was never used outside of one anyway.

But this is one of those cards that can never be ignored or discounted no matter how useless they are in the current meta. At some point of time some pro will make full use of the card and eventually it'll get its much coveted vote to be nerfed, like all other broken cards do.

Its main purpose is to give you Arcane Bolts and a decent turn 1 minion. The bolts of course is pretty good far as a ping goes, but crucially provides you the ammunition you need for an OTK with Vexallus strats.

Cheap enough to brann it out while youre doing other stuff.

Well here we go, arcane bolt OTK all setup. 9 mana, Vexallus -> Magister's Apprentice -> one spell damage minion + 4 Arcane Bolts = 32 damage. And by the looks of it, you can get at least 8 arcane bolts per game as of this reveal. So its theoretically possible to do it even if they have 60 health.

Dangerous stuff, except mage doesn't draw the same way warlock or druid does, and its still susceptible to a mad duke play. Lose Vexallus and the whole house of cards crumbles down. I think we see the problem here; spooky mage can reliable end games somewhere around turn 10 and unlike this deck is at least more resilient against most archetypes and doesn't just auto lose to theotar. So in other words this OTK is unconvincing, at least not in a meta that's filled with so many disruption cards.

That said, Im pretty sure it'll be at least tier 2-3, and some pro will make full use of double magister's apprentice, regardless of whether vexallus actually ends the game.

You mean to 4? So parrots won't cast it.

She will copy whatever she can, starting with the cards on the left: it is not all or nothing. Are you accidentally playing her into a location that has a Cosmo? That would be my only guess.

The amount obtained for having on your deck those cards are the same even you're playing with one than with all of them?? Am I right? I firstly thought it was like one for each card but if it's just having one I'll take a little bit longer :(

You could resurrect your Whelps from Scale of Onyxia, essentially gaining two more copies of that card...at least, until rotation. Crazy.

A member of our Discord made a point I didn't even think of: Unending Swarm could resurrect your Whelps from Scale of Onyxia, essentially gaining two more copies of that card...at least, until rotation.

Edit: Whelp, didn't notice you had the same thought in the card's discussion thread :P

Speaking of Majordomo Executus, do you think playing him afterward would reset/cancel your (3) turn clock?

I'm not that excited for this one, but in general, I welcome the addition to new dragons to the standard pool; Variety is the spice of life.  Glad to see a little diversity in the pot!

Speaking of moon girl. Does she do nothing if there's not enough room to copy your every card in your hand? Sometimes she doesn't copy even though my hand isn't full. Is it an all or nothing thing or a bug?

So what's with dragons in Silvermoon? (Not that I give too much of a shit.)

Are they correcting the timeline of the Lich King attacking? Have they always been there? (Not that I give a shit.)

Since when did 'can't target' stop you from using cheap 'hit anything' Missiles or damage by overkilling?

Afraid to cheat it out or protect it for one turn?

5-stars. Cowards.

I like how everyone agrees that its a weaker and more conditional version of Guild Trader
I think it speaks volume on its own

This turn only, I'm something of an Arcanist myself.

I feel like this is one of the many minions that I'll only touch if I get it out of a evolve/devolve scenario. Certainly not going out of my way to include this in a decklist ..

All the Blood Elves are lame Neutrals.

Fitting.

They really just populate this expansion as inconsequential NPCs ^^

SquirrelChads keep dominating.

If I play Angela, and get her up to 10 power, does the missions count it as 10, or does it only check the card's power when it was played?

Like, does Iron man count as 0 no matter how much power his doubling contributes?

Edit:

I tested it, and it counts the total power including buffs.

Dang they push token druid literally every expansion.
