Even outside of pure spell mage, this is just a huge RNG value bomb. Not gonna look forward to a mage with an empty hand topdecking this into 2 Fireballs, but we all know that's gonna happen.
For me it's a Panic buttons like Yog's box. It's less randomic (since you chose what spell cast and where) but will probably able to cast 1-2 spell (and u must win or stabilize the game)
Full hand - on demand. Maybe with Mountain Giant you can play hand mage without needing Book of Specters. The random generated spells help with quest mage, but you would probably prefer discover effects or guaranteed cheap spells like the new Licensed Adventurer or Banana Buffoon. If they print a strong replacement for Mountain giant in standard, this card might be a lynchpin to an early heavy board.
One of the best cards in the set. Almost an auto-include for any mage deck. If you have this in your collection and have a slot in your deck, just threw this in. You won't be regretful probably.
but well, Same thing over and over again. I am with the same boat with @YourPrivateNightmare here.
All of witchwood, RR archetypes should be supported more rather than pushing casino over and over again.
I'm very interested to see the discard mechanic used in a class other than warlock. This will be great for giving chaos mage lots of choices to draw from without cluttering up the hand and burning though too many cards like I've had to deal with in the past.

We haven't quite gotten to this one in our reviews yet, but I just love it. Being able to selectively cast a few spells from a plethora of options seems like a really fun card to play, and I think choosing being one big spell and several little ones will be a real test of skill.
Looks like a card that’ll probably get run in most decks, because there’s really no downside to running it, aside from cutting some essential card I guess. Would’ve preferred they not print something like this, but whatever I guess. Hopefully it’s not as good as it looks
So, basically, a 1 mana more controlledPuzzle Box of Yogg-Saron. I can see this seeing play. I can also see this card irritating me to no end when the opponent nukes my board or my face. On the plus side, Pyroblast won't work when generated by this, so that's a thing.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL) Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906

So. Tired. Of. Casino. Mage.
If you have the time, you should totally check out our weekly Hearthstone card design competitions! :D
Not sure how great this will be in standard, but it wild can be really good in Quest Mage.
Oh man I was so worried mage would run out of new variations of Yogg in standard
kappa
Rage quitting: the best way to ensure your opponent knows they beat a giant baby.
VERY strong card in ANY mage deck.. basically better The Soularium

This post is discussing the wild format.
So many cards can generate this card. So if i dont have the dust i may be able to get it from random drop.
I can't wait for The Amazing Reno to cast this and then burn a card needed to stabalize or win the game
That said a card like this is pretty nice in an aggro mage deck that's looking for burn
or heck even for streamers who just want a fun RNG turn to entertain their audience with

Get a sorcerer's apprentice or two, play this, profit!
I love cards like these. I cant help it, I really really like the rng style of play. It just adds so many levels of fun into a deck.
I cant wait to randomly generate this random card generater! Also, the art is really awesome.

Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Very strong late game tool, specially when used in conjunction with Kael'thas, for example.
Obviously very rng dependant, but will help you more often than not. And it’s safer than the Yogg Box.

This is amazing, and will be an auto include, usually, in any mage deck! The power on turn 10 is just insane!!
