The combo potential is nice, but it really seems understated. For 2 mana you get a 2/2 body and +1 spell damage. For an additional 2 mana you get the +1 spell damage and no 2/2 body. It is definitely understated even considering its +2 spell damage on a single minion. That bonus is not worth 2/2 worth of stats.
However, regardless of its body this will be an annoying card to face in the new combo decks to come.
This is purely for high burst/OTK decks, and for that purpose it's a fine card. +2 Spell damage on a single card is much better than playing 2 Kobolds because it means your combo requires less cards to work (more consistent).
This would be decent with Master of Disguise. Oh wait.
In all reality, I think this card is pretty good, also works well with fandral on starfall (9 dmg single target and 4 dmg aoe) or even wrath (8 dmg to a minion draw a card) but this will most likely just see play as an aoe booster for lategame decks. Great with consec and lightning storm, less great with flamestrike cos 1 not a single turn combo and 2 6 health isn't really a regular target, more 4 health targets and below. Great with swipe. amazing with stuff like powershot and explosive shot from hunter. Overall a niche card that will see some play but is good nonetheless

Check out my theorycrafted Blistering Rot
nope, not good, 4 drop should be something good, not good-ish maybe...so no
6/10
bad stats, decent art, good spell damage
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve.
What people are missing about this card vs Malygos for combos is that emperor gets two total discount vs only 1
Not bad. Arcane blast for 8 damage for 5 mana. I think it will be playable in modern frost mage.
