I would try to make a Paladin deck with Silver Vanguard some of the 8 drops Tirion Fordring The Lich King Ragnaros, Lightlord and this card.
Use only spells
Avenging Wrath
Consecration
Lay on Hands
Call to Arms
Sometimes i make a kombo Barnes--> Vanguard-->
Lay on Hands a really bad idea unless you want to heal your opponent's face and overdraw when you already have a full hand. You want to use cards that no NO possible negative state for you.
If this doesn’t consume the spell, you could just make a deck with Flamestrike as the only spell and it would just Deal 4 to all enemy minions at the end of every turn
This is actually my favorite card in the set. Im gonna try SOOOO hard to make it work with Call of the Wild and Spiteful Summoner
Some good priest spells for this that come to mind Mind Vision Eternal Servitude Mindgames Embrace Darkness Shadow Essence Free From Amber Mind Control
"Grand Archivist of Yogg."
Might be a fun combo. It would be nice if it was 7 mana though so you could play them both on the same turn.
probably why it is an 8 drop instead, that combo would be fun
Going to play this in Jade Druid
The artwork kinda reminded me immediately of the mage in this artwork for Heroes of Might and Magic 4 (Great game btw):
i wouldnt say it is. i dont see ppl playing homm1 or 2 anymore. 4 had different concepts than others but it doesnt make it the worst.
I absolutely LOVE this card, yes it is technically random, but controllable randomness, which is the best way to implement random effects!
If you build your deck around this it could actually work and be really powerful and it wouldn't be random at that point at all.
For example if you just run 2 copies of call of the wild it could be a 8 4/7 that casts call of the wild at the end of your turn.
I think this could work in Paladin, Mage, Priest, Hunter and maybe some other classes like warlock (depending on the new spells warlock may be getting) as well.

Playing this by itself is either the biggest tempo swing, or the best silence of your life.
I see a priest. I see a meme priest using this and Free From Amber and Mind Control and mind blast and other such spells that can only help you
It's nice to see Blizzard not competitively cost these sort of cards any more.
What an interesting concern. I would assume the effect still triggers, unlike Yogg-Saron, Hope's End. My reasoning is because Drakkari Enchanter is an entirely separate effect.
This guy in a deck with no-targeted spells pulling a spell of 3 mana or more is value.
This could be so damn good, or so bad, I love it
10/10 we need more of this.
( MemeStone Heroes of Memecraft )
play zoolock, put only Kaza Kazham! as spell.
