id agree totally. the ONLY, and i mean ONLY way i see this working. is you are shaman and you play this, deal some cool damage. then evolve? but even then its still garbage

Well what if you use it exodia mage? the sorcerer’s apprentice is cheaper that way, although you do dump 3 mana into at first.

and lets not forget prophet velen. I think this may actually work with velen and a spell based deck. But lyra would probably work better.
