I'm curious to see where this fits in and if it fits in anywhere. Maybe in some grinder mage deck. They'd probably have to give up Reno though. Tempo Mage can't afford to run any secrets (except the Asian ones that run 1 Ice Block but that seems waay too inconsistent) but Freeze Mage might find room for him. He doesn't combo with Ice Lance or Bloodmage, so I'm not sure what you'd cut for him
As for constructed concerns, Who cares about Fire Elemental *Brode's Laugh*, I understand it has a condition but it isn't that hard to fulfill considering mages have the slower secrets also a t5 " 2/3 deal 3 damage put a secret in play" I'd consider still really good tempo...
This is way to clunky, and Mage secrets are to expansive. If there`ll be a Secret deck itll be Hunter just because huntress is soooo good as secret synergie card compared to this.
Hmm I think this card is okay. (I'm speaking strictly for standard) Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't really play this until turn 4 right? Maybe in freeze mage? I feel like you'd lose tempo with this card because you'd have to setup for it beforehand with a secret.
This is basically a 2 mana spell to deal 3 damage that comes with a free 2/3 body. I'm saying that because it can't be played on turn 2, so the 2/3 body on turn 4+ is meh.
This card is super strong. may even bring back secret paladin. after seen all this cards maybe even secret hunter is gonna be a thing. freeze mage is happy.
Turn 3: Kirin Tor Mage, making 2 Secrets free (Ice Block and Spellbender, as they're the least likely to go off?), cast them both, Attack for 6
Turn 4: 2x Medivh's Valet at your opponent's face for 12, attack for the last 10 (4 from Kirin Tor, 2 from Brann, 4 from Mana Wyrm)
So, I'm sure that'll be fun! :)

Brann doesn't work that way with Kirin Tor Mage. Mind the card text. It triggers the very same battlecry "at once"but it doesn't stack like you think it does.
tempo mage does not want it, freeze mage is far too tight for it, maybe a control deck but since secrets dilute your deck so much considering they are usually counterable and so aren't always worth the card it has to be in reno decks, and unless reno makes a comeback this won't see play, might not even be good enough if he does. At least it is not good in arena, so mages won't be given multiple powerful tools that make them more op.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
Kirin Tor Mage will only reduce the cost of ONLY ONEsecret, even with Brann. This is because Kirin Tor Mage's card reads "The nextSecret you play this turn costs (0)." Sadly, this means only the secret you play right after playing Kirin Tor Mage will be discounted, not the next one.
Basically a gives Ice Block "Overload: (2), summon a 2/3, deal 3 damage, and discard a card." Will bring Freeze Mage up to Tier 1. I doubt Tempo Mage's Secrets will last a turn, though, so not so great there.
People just adding this card to tempo mage or freeze mage ignoring the fact that you can now craft a working secret mage deck. Something like this will work
Actually the only synergie brann have with kirin tor is that the next secret you cast will cost 6 less... so except if you want to counter loatheb it won't work XD.

Broken wtf? lmao wild will be fun
I've been WAITING for a reason to start really utilizing Kirin'tor Mage. Excited to see Mage secrets hopefully come back.

If anyone pulls this off in arena holy tts...

Good stats card and a strong effect.
almost as strong as "heh, this guy is toast" pre nerf

I play this with Bran, babbling book and some ethereal conjurers.
Also, to all you folks who have never heard of a mage control deck, "Welcome to our World."

Verdict: Meta-defining
It isn't possible.

This deck could be modified to either add more secrets or add the new card that becomes a 4/7 taunt if you have a secret.
