- Rarity: Common

2 mana deal 3 has always been good, darkbomb still sees play in wild and frostbolt saw play in Mage for a long time. The infuse is just a small bonus similar to frostbolts freeze
Cool card, but is it really worth it? How reliably can you repeat infusing this card? I fear that it’s not as easy as it may seem. Sure, a volatile skeleton deck might pull it off, having so much token generation, but it still feels clunky and doesn’t help that gameplan in the slightest. I don’t see any other mage deck having nearly enough minions to use this more than a couple of times, and even then why not use Ignite instead? Tbh, this card just seems awful and unecessary through and through.
I get where they’re going with this card, but I think it’s just really bad. If it was like 0 mana or did 5 damage it could be interesting, but you have to hold it in your hand and play bad skeleton stuff and let said bad skeleton stuff die JUST to get another copy of a deal 3 damage spell.
This is bad. 2/5 because if you generate it randomly it’s at least efficient damage.
Great for completing the “Deal 100 Frost Damage” Daily quest
The big problem with this card is that you never get the infuse effect on.
3 Minions have to die while this is in your hand is nearly impossible.
With Queen Azshara you needed 3 spells and that was pretty though but you get a awesome spell or weapon.
Here with minions it is way more difficult than with spells (Because you can´t profit right after you played the card like with spells and if you have a passive opponent than you have a problem) especially in mage and the positve effect is that you get a spell with 3 damage… No, thanks
And that makes this card just a normal burn card worse than frostbolt. with ignite fireball and pyroblast you have some burn. Maybe we see a spelldamage-burn-naga mage or something like that.
3/5
Mage is in a though spot in new meta. the skeletons are garbage, so maybe in new meta big spell mage stick as the top tier mage deck.
Just run frost bolt instead, it has more utility with the freezing without the added guilt of using it while it’s not infused.
3/5
I mean it COULD be good enough in something like Naga Mage as a “cheap” 4 mana deal 6, but I doubt it. Mage doesn’t tend to play enough minions to trigger an Infuse, let alone Infuse (3).
