  Raylla, Sand Sculptor - Comparable to vex crow, probably playable, though we should perhaps ask what is such a card that requires plenty of cheap spells doing in a deck that allows paladin cards to be played. So perhaps its an indicator that pally's identity relates to cheap spells. It would be interesting to see how this card can work because its kinda broken if it ends up working well.

  Tide pools - Perhaps the most broken location, maybe just even with puppet theatre and will very likely be nerfed. Aside from the fact that you can easily just put this into big spell mage, it can potentially allow you to cast three spells immediately after playing this, and on top of that cheapens seaside giant by a massive 6 mana in one turn. Yeah, Id be surprised if this card isnt nerfed, assuming that mage can hold up in the meta, which I suspect it can.

  Seabreeze Chalice - The best drink card so far, but we've only really seen one. Does the job of clearing board really well, or just strike 6 to face for 3 mana.

  Marooned Archmage - Yes its mana cheat, but its only for one card and theres an exactly zero chance it lives till the next turn. So for me, its just shit really. Unless your opponents an idiot, you'll never reap anywhere near the potential of this card.

   

  Now, let's address the archetype for mage, which is big spells. I think there is a world where it can work, but Im also a bit skeptical whether it'll ever take the meta as far as it seem. For one thing, it forces you to cram alot of expensive cards into your deck, where only three cards allowing you to cheat them out. And secondly, the moment you start playing your power cards, handbuff pally can have easily dropped 20/20 worth of stats and youre already at the brink of death. Sometimes you play Surfalopod on 5, then Under the Sea on 6 and drew Tsunami, putting such an incredible amount of stats on board. And then there are times where all those cards are in your hand, and you whiff your first three turns hard and die.

  We'll see how well it'll go for mage next expansion.

  I really like that Raylla's signature art is the same scene as her original art but from a different angle. Cool touch.

  EDIT: I guess she actually has a different outfit. Kinda ruins it, but I still like the concept.

  Could this be the triumphant return of Big Spell Mage?

  Pitty the artwork will only be seen for like 5 seconds per game (unless you check the game history)
