This card is dependent on the metagame. It's a clean way to kill a 5-toughness minion while flipping the board, but if nobody is playing 5-toughness minions on turn 6 or 7, it's not efficient enough. Right now, I can't think of many minions that this answers well. It's solid against Thaurissan, okay against Cairne, and probably terrible against Sylvanas if it works the way I'd expect. If it ends up being a meta full of 3-toughness minions and 6-toughness minions, this card will look pretty stupid.
Another INSANE Arena common for Mage. How hard is it to make something like this an epic?
I am expecting before every single expansion and adventure to see some kind of balance as regards Mage's overpower in Arena. And instead of some kind of balancing EVERY time Mage gets sronger and stronger in Arena. This ruins Arena experience so much if you are trying to succeed with any other class!!!

This is exactly the problem in constructed. I was trying to put him in my Yogg mage, but I couldn't bring myself to pull the Flamestrike. I did end up taking out a lower-cost spell, but I have a feeling that change won't last long.

"We thought the other cards were better in arena so we made this common"....This was basically Brode saying they are to bad at arena to evaluate cards so why not hire a guy like kripp with some clue about strenght lvl of aren cards to fix rarity istead of implementing some weird system steering how often certain cards show up in arena?

At least they could give us 15 more dust and save the arena experience for everyone

Insane arena card. Meh to Horrible constructed card. I see where Blizz felt Mage needed a buff...jk
That choice when you are picking between this and Flamestrike on your final pick...having lesser board clears Blizzard and murloc...
Sick in arena. Absolutely sick.
In constructed, it probably has a spot in a reno mage deck. Too expensive for tempo mage and freeze has much more important things to do T7+.
G=Good B=Bad Do you see the pattern? Every second expansion is always trash.
G: Goblins V Gnomes , Old Gods, unguro
B: TGT, gadgetzan, Knights (Unreleased so MAYBE)
