So before we get overly hyped, to clam that Grand Finale is the most disgustingly powerful card yet to date, (Because I think it would have been nerfed to 10 mana or it would have been a Legendary Card instead), I don’t think Summons counts. Otherwise, every single Mage will just dump a Confection Cyclone for 3 8/8s.
So it legit has to be Elementals that You’ve played, but not cheated out from Battlecries and such.
Now if a card generates an Elemental, as long as that Elemental is in your hand, Grand Finale will still work.
Okay, now that the Grand Finale confusion is over, Mage now has more than a handful of Elementals in their arsenal to try out what Elementals they want to use. For example, they can go for 2 Mana Giants. Or they can go for Zephys and Geyreworm, and still summon 2 8/8s afterwards.
It’s just that you need to find the acceleration to make Grand Finale really work. Going for 1 8/8 is desperation, going for 2 is standard, but Going for 3 is Risky yet Rewarding, so long as your opponent doesn’t have an AoE Removal.
4 Stars.
If it was elemental “summoned” this would be absolutely disgusting follow up for whatever the “coming down the mountain” 7/8 is.
Either way the dream curve is summoning the 2 7/8s and if they don’t remove them you win. If they do remove them you play this for 2 8/8s and you try again. Is that good enough? Possibly, but Elemental Tempo-y Mage I don’t think has TOO many good elementals in Standard, but the new 2 drop is definitely a good push in the right direction since it is “3” activators in 1.
Will the elemental package be good? That remains to be seen.
Gonna be amazing in wild.
