This card is great.
Compares to Wild Pyro in terms of usage, and seeing as mages RARELY run pyro, why would they run this?
Unlikely to see too much play.
Despite the scenarios were this card has clear upside, I think it is underwhelming overall.
And gets wrecked by blood warrior 😉
General: Strictly better than the “Ironforge Rifleman” as that card only deals one damage. It’s a decent tempo play, especially when facing aggro decks, but nothing too exceptional. I like to compare it to “Aldor Peacekeeper” which is basically a 3 mana 3/3 with “Humility” embedded with it. Here we have a 3 mana 2/2 with “Arcane Explosion” instead; it has lower stats as AoE effects are quite valuable, and if you think about it “Humility” is 1 mana and “Arcane Explosion” is 2 so it is balanced, but it may have been fine to make it a 3/3 as well.
Constructed: maybe a tempo mage could use this, although it seems more of a responsive play, and not something you want to play on curve. A freeze mage can’t really use this card as 1 damage is just so little and sometimes irrelevant compared to other board clears like “Flamestrike”. I honestly don’t know which deck could really use this card.
Arena: in arena this card becomes much better as it deals damage only to enemy minions and ALL of them. Quite similar to the “Dread Infernal”, with lower stats but without the symmetrical effect. A good choice and easily obtained thanks to it common rarity.
In Arena this card is very good.
For Constructed i think mage has other better 3-drops, but this is not bad either.
A pretty ok Arena card. Definitely better than a lot of 3 drops.
About Constructed, the meta is already ridiculously aggressive and “Arcane Explosion” sees rarely play. If the meta shifts towards mid-range and control, this will not see any play whatsoever. (maybe in a battlecry mage at best, but I have my doubts)
This is actually pretty good against aggro, since they tend to run low-health minions. The reason Arcane Explosion is bad is because it’s a spell. This however also gives you a 2/2 body to develop your board AND deal with the opponent’s.
indeed
Good against Aggro, nice card in arena.
Its similar to dark iron skulker except its 1 damage to enemy all enemy minions, not just undamaged minions. great arena card, seems useful in standard too
Not sure it’s better than Arcane Explosion. For one more mana you get a 2-2 body but lose out on spell synergies. Since Arcane Explosion is rarely played I doubt this will be.
Too slow in my opinion.
Lol what. It is a 3 drop that affects the board. Piloted Shredder is slower than this.
Situational card. Like the 2/2 that does 1 damage, but this one is aoe. Great against aggro, crap otherwise.
