Annoy-o-Module
No. I refuse. Another Annoy-o? Annoy-no. WHY PRINT THESE ARGH I CAN ALREADY FEEL ME BEING ANNOYED UNTIL CONCEDE.
(cards good though, really good, actually. It’s like Lone Champion, but better. 4 stars.
Menacing Nimbus
Menacing Nimbus is quickly becoming one of my favorite cards. It’s just so positive and generous. Practically costs nothing at all at two mana you drop him on the board and that chill ass mofo gives you an elemental to use later in the game. And you also get this adorable little 2/2 can ping things but usually is too harmless to be removed.
But more than the MN is just so positive. It comes on the board like “do you want to play an elemental?” and I’m like “yeah MN i do want to play an elemental let’s do this shit” and when he attacks he’s like “ELEMENTALS ARE FUN” and I’m like “yeah they are SO FUN.” He doesn’t say some bullshit macho shit like “I will destroy you” he’s just like “nah elementals are fun.” And it looks so happy. I mean this is a whirlwind literally brought to life by magic. It understands it’s life is a temporary magical gift and the dude is just fucking loving it. I mean look at his face he’s just so happy.
I am literally never sad when menacing nimbus is on board. IDK if he’s gonna make it into the metagame or not but for now he (or she) a pretty chill card
Stargazer Luna
Why are people here saying it’s bad? This is a good, solid card. It’s a 3 mana 2/4, which is a solid stat line for 3 drops. Not OP, not UP, just solid. The effect is also solid. You can profit off of top decks and cards that came off random things, in which Mage works very well with. This, I think, will be ran in Elemental Mage, Mech Mage because of Spare Parts (should Mech Mage exist) and possibly Tempo Mage or Burn Mage if it exists. Not OP, not Up.
Art: 4/5
Deisgn: 4/5
Power Level: 3/5 though when Un’Goro rotates or it doesn’t take off with Mech Mage, 2/5.
Shudderwock
Yes, yes it can. Shudderwock has a Battlecry that does things, therefor it would be added to the pool of Battlecries triggered. Like Trump said, adding Grumble’s Battlecry into the pool with 2 Shudderwoks + Murmuring Elemental would be basically an OTK.
Zap!
I can already imagine the memes where somebody wins the lottery with Hagatha and plays echo cards and get’s like 4 of these and kills the opponent.
Archmage Arugal
I’m aware, but it seems like that is going to be a lot of Mage. Also, if you’re playing this late, why not Chromaggus? Sure he is in wild, but if you’re playing this on turn 6 or later turns, Chromaggus just seems better. And Chromaggus never saw play. This probably won’t see either. Overhyped. (also you showed no examples of the value even though you said it was insane)
Archmage Arugal
Okay so you play normal Control/Secret Mage, or maybe Casino Mage? What minions are you gonna copy? This minion will get removed next turn, so what are you gonna get out of it?
Lady in White
I’ll leave it off as…. think of Lady in White the same way you’d think of Kazakus.
Countess Ashmore
Blizzard you’re drunk go home. Blizzard you’re off your rocker. 7 mana 6/6 that draws at least 1 card with a max of 3? 5/5 must craft. Many classes will run this card. Very good.
Bonfire Elemental
This is just… good! 4/5 for what the card is. I’d say on par with Servant of Kalimos, but curve loosk really good. Odd Elemental Mage looks very promising.
Archmage Arugal
Man this would be good in Elemental Odd Mage!… but it’s 2 mana. This could still be run, but it’s too hyped for how good it actually is. I can’t see this being as powerful as people are saying, though I’ll give it a 3/5 for what it is an how it can work in niche decks.
Lady in White
I didn’t say it was something to rely on, but a powerful side card in any Priest deck. If Dragon Priest exists it’ll be a powerful card run in it, but not a win condition. It’s very powerful for it’s effect, and it’ll work like Kazakus in Reno Mage. Powerful, but not game winning and if you lose it somehow it’s still okay.
Lady in White
Okay so let’s see the upsides
Buffs the plethora of minions that have low attack but high health, like Doomsayer, Lightwell, Ysera, Sleepy Dragon, Book Wyrm, etc. Even something like Northshire Cleric or Netherspite Historians that you haven’t drawn yet. Or Drakonid Operative buff to a 6/6 so it can kill mirrors or itself or just make it more valuable.
Downsides: So you might have an important buff card in hand before you draw her or you run Midnight Drake instead of Twilight Drake. Nothing bad. Look at the damn card, literally 9.5/10.
Rhok'delar
Sorry Blizz, but this ENTIRE archetype won’t work with just 2 cards, it just won’t. Could it be good later? Sure. But will it? No. Another bad weapon. Rip.
Greedy Sprite
Than in such respect Crypt Lord/Southsea Captain is better than this in a 3 slot. I personally don’t think the power level here is good enough.
Greedy Sprite
Why would your opponent kill this? If they do it wouldn’t give you an empty mana crystal, it’d give you a full one because you’d get it on their turn, and at the start of your turn your mana crystals refresh (obviously)
Also, Wild Growth doesn’t have to wait for a Deathrattle, AND you can coin it out on turn 1.
Honestly, most classes don’t have to trade. Mage has Hero Power, same with Rogue, Druid. Shaman can Maelstrom and Warlock can Mortal Coil. Paladin can trade in with his Hero Power. Hunter can trade Alleycat.
There is no upside to playing this card and is noticeably weaker. WAY weaker.
Greedy Sprite
Oh, really? Silly me then for not knowing that! If Ramp Druid DOES still exist at that point then it certainly won’t nearly as good running this card.
1 mana, get a card. Pretty nice on its own! The mech pool will be small, but probably consistent in that way, so using this on non turn 10 will be alright.
10 mana, GENERATE 3 cards, though? Yeah, that’s pretty goddamn good, regardless if if even have a second one. 5/5 this will be a staple in ANY Warrior deck in this meta.
