I think this is slightly better than people are giving it credit... It is basically a 2/2 that draws a specific card and a 6/6 that draws a specific card - so it creates a ton of value. Given enough removal and other value tools Like Cabal Spell tome you could have a very value oriented Mage deck, and the value on mage decks is already bonkers, It's one reason Reno mage is so good. It remains to be seen however if Mage can stay alive long enough to take advantage of the value.
Impressive that they managed to make a minion that you can play 3 times in 3 different forms and have it be under-statted every time!
Seriously, though, couldn't they have at least given it the White Eyes treatment and make the 10/10 cost significantly less?
I hear what you're saying, but the whole value equation is different since it's going to your hand, but I agree... they probably should have been costed 5 and 8 gold.
I agree that the 10 mana 10/10 is borderline useless, but the 2 mana 2/2 and 6 mana 6/6 will provide some board support if you have nothing better. People have no problem paying 3 mana for the 2/2 kabal courier to discover a semi-random card so I don't think 2 for a 2/2 is as bad as people are making it out to be.
Also 5 mana for a 6/3 that discovers a spell and 5 mana for 3 random spells are not cheap. Forgotten torch is also overcosted at the upside of having an undercosted fireball.
I think the 10/10 will just become one of those cards you lolslam on the board if it turns into a control turn passing game.
2 for a 2/2 that can be silenced, 6 for a 6/6 that can be silenced, and 10 for a 10/10 pile of stats.
Historically bunch of stat legendaries are not great, but Nzoth existing might make this something.
Do you analyze every card in the game with text by noting that it can be silenced? Even someone playing for a single day understands that - it's not relevant to analyzing new cards.
next expansion , or in two expansions well see a lot of deathrattle cards or synergies, as creators said...do you know what we surely also see if that happens? a lot of Shamans jade control decks with 2 frogs and 2 devolveas they have the best tools to unmake a deathrattle meta.
Such an awesome looking card. Imaging it in gold. Such a waste. Why Blizzard. :(
I vote bad. Three crappy minions for the price.
just imagine this card + moat lurker...N'zoth 6 piros :).
The same potential buff hunter, paladin and warrior had?

actually not good, just compare it to Jade Idol, lol.
need take time to make new pic and signature using the new cards.

I was thinking that you could make a N'Zoth mage.
They might add elemental synergy cards, which would could potentially make this card quite powerful

This card is just pure value, like Cabalist's Tome, you play 1 card and get 3.
Designed only for control mage, but Reno Jackson is rotating so I don't know how I feel about this.
Reno Lock is still at least 2 times better then Reno Mage. trust me on this one.
This is a worse Jaraxxus.
Lategame you draw this a 2/2 vanilla for 2. Nice.
Meanwhile you are stuck with 1 dmg hero power while the Lock has his card draw and then his infernals.
Would be nice if the 10/10 gave you the 2/2 version again.
