Its basically powercrept [card]unwilling sacrifice[/card], and a very powercrept one. Imagine that that card is 3 mana without any ability to choose and this one allows you to choose and cost 2 mana less.

Will it see play? I …

There's no way this card doesn't see play, its just broken as hell.

So warlock already does plenty of damage to themselves, and this card perfectly allows you to leverage that into an advantage. Clear board and immediately board …

So basically [card]abyssal summoner[/card] except you draw a card and the abyssal can easily be a 6/6 or a 11/11, with taunt.

I cant see why this card wouldn't see play. Only deck he wont be in is in …

Ra-den and sif art direction is nice. Dont know why didnt they just do the same for the rest of the pantheon

I think warlock just wins the best set for this expansion. Most of their cards either heals, or do something good though mundane, without convoluted conditions.

[card]Imprisoned horror[/card] is just asking for a nerf. You can drop one for …

I'd give this one a high score, but I know well enough that there's nowhere near enough elementals in the current standard pool to support anything close to elemental mage, or even tempo mage.

At some point team5 would …

With spell damage, this card can be a beast, and I suspect its the finisher to all that effort in playing all the spell schools.

But its really not a good card outside of that. In terms of net …

Mage's best card this expansion.

Simple, flexible, and useful in just about any mage deck. You can say fairer than that.

At some point there would be enough good elementals to actually make this work, and make elemental mage a thing.

But for now its just a card found wanting, wanting for more actual elementals in mage. Not to mention …

Realistically its merely an [card]arcane intellect[/card] 90% of the time. [card]refreshing spring water[/card] is/was good because you can just slam it on 5 (4 before it was nerfed) and draw cards for 1 mana. This card however, requires you to …

Its a card for big mage, and yet bizarrely requires ideally small spells to be good.

In other words, its mostly a discover option. Its never realistically a build around, because it doesn't win games on its own, and …

The powerlevel of this card depends on the pay off, and this card to be fair is one such.

I dont really like cards that rely on other cards to be good, especially since at default mage really only …

So powercrept [card]snowchugger[/card]

Well, its still crap to be honest. I mean, in 2023 a vanilla minion that does nothing more on board is pretty much a no-no, and this card really doesn't stand a chance against other better …

Firstly, a point to make about your comments.

It is possible to respect and appreciate the advances of our society today and still feel there's much left to be desired. I dont suffer cramping conditions standing in the local …

That's a good point, although I'd contend that its too easy to tech against and it has a near zero percent change to beat blood DK, one of the most annoying decks in the game.

I think if shaman …

Looks good but likely it'll never see play.

Unless youre specifically quest shaman you'll never want to fill your deck with overload cards and for 2 mana this card barely does anything useful to any consistent degree.

[card]Florist[/card] …

Remember [card]stormstrike[/card]? This is that now.

Comes with an overload, for whatever reason. But it'll still power up your [card]doomhammer[/card]s and [card]horn of the windlord[/card]. For that reason alone it'll see play.

Wouldn't be surprised to see some …

Its your popoff payoff.

So you play a bunch of nature spells after [card]flash of lightning[/card], but because shaman's nature card tend to be shit youre likely not going to do much. Here's a card that solves every one …

Along with [card]flash of lightning[/card] this is easily shaman's best card this set (aside from the titan of course). The fact that they both go hand in hand makes it even better. Better still, you could discover [card]crash of thunder[/card] …

This card will either be the best weapon shaman has got or easily the weakest. The key thing here is that its too inconsistent and youre not in total control over how it works.

So you want to snipe …
