Looks interesting on paper but underwhelming in practice. If you want to spam big spells for cheap you can do so repeatedly with Kael'thas. This essentially says that for 2 cards (it and the cheap spell you're about to play after) you get to have a free 5/4 on the board. It doesn't even come close to Kun in terms of combo potential, since Aviana + Innervate + Kun gets you all the mana in the world and essentially free minions for 3 cards. If you were to try that with this, you'd need Aviana + Innervate + this + another 0 mana spell to get your refresh. At 6 mana, Imprisoned Satyr can't make this free so you can't even play it before Aviana either.
Overall, Spellburst really reminds me of Inspire. All the cards that have it essentially cost more mana to play because trying to stick them for a whole turn to get your payoff is very risky. And then, when you add up all the prerequisites (enough mana, cheap spell in hand, proper conditions for the Spellburst to be effective) it just ends up not being worth the cost. Considering it's an entire set's core mechanic, it's gonna be pretty meh for Wild. I have yet to find a single card I'd be excited to play or build around. About the only exception is the glacially-slow "immortal" legendary for Warrior, which is still more fun than practical.
With the current cards available to Druid, this does not have the right support cards to be ‘broken’.
I can see from a design perspective that Blizz are wanting to make Elise the Enlightened as playable as the other highlander cards, and in order for her to be useful in a deck, you need to be able to dump your hand before doubling it.
Sure you get more mana and have a potentially large value turn but what do you follow this up with? There are enough cards from other classes that generate huge amounts of stats, wide boards or have strong removal to negate most combos that this will produce.
all in all, it’s slow, requires set up/ follow up to be broken and helps highlander play styles. Good round card
Scholomance is set to have more nerfs than Ao
Instant "No duh" candidate for being nerfed for shenanigans in both standard and wild. There is absolutely no way that isn't going to develop a fast cycling, multi-card spam, combo with this card.
If you dust this card before it does get it's inevitable future nerf you're a fool. I'm that confident in the promise of this card.
Hello new Kun the Forgotten King.
They just never learn
Oh hey druid isnt tier 1
Lol lets give them another full mana reset xd
Would you still need Ysiel Windsinger if you have this card? The combo would prob work better without Ysiel, but I'm sure there would be some insane overkill damage if you order these plays correctly with Malygos + damage spells.
Hope combo druid is back, miss that archetype since togwaggle druid
ysiel is really good with Survival of the Fittest since it gets buffed too its more likely to stick to board until your next turn.
Groot Kun
Mini kun, even better
Personally I'm pretty excited about this card, if only for the fact that it looks like it puts Combo back on the menu. This past menu seriously lacked that, and hopefully this checks Galakrond Priest.
Discount Maly or this card with Satyr -> Play both -> Moonfire -> Swipe -> Swipe/Starfire(?) -> Moonfire = 30 damage.
I for one welcome our new Khun.
There's so much potential in this one card. Basically like kun, it pays for itself, provided you still hold on to a spell.
I'm not so bummed out by this card to be honest. In most cases, its a free 5/4. The only true shenanigans would be to have Imprisoned Satyr discount his to 1, but in that case you'd perhaps rather the discount hit something like Malygos, Ysiel Windsinger, or even Ysera, Unleashed. Otherwise, you'd play this on 6 and pray they can't clear it so you get something like a Twig of the World Tree back. An unlikely scenario.
Broken AF, Godlike broken. Even at turn 6 it is pretty busted if you can refresh the mana.
Just looking at it gives me nightmares.
Power of Creation into Yogg Box
How exactly do you expect to discover a Druid card as a Mage?
How will druid cast these spells
I forget discover is not random. Fine. Whatever. Evolve into this followed by some other wacky result.
King Phaoris into this into Yoggbox. There. Saved it.
wow, what the hell. Well, bye bye Kun the Forgotten King . (khe khe, you will never be forgotten Kappa)
wtf?
