Giving a playable mage secret the ability to GO FACE offers fringe benefits to all mage secrets. Once your opponent is at 5 life of less they have to be very cautious about playing low health minions if you have a secret up.
Very good card. No way to play around this one. You're getting hurt no matter what. Can't wait for the inevitable video of someone getting lethal with this card.
Wow. This is a nice card. Definitely I am going to see more Mages now in the ladder as opposed to me alone lol. Now all we need is a good AoE to compliment Flamestrike and Dragons!!!
That card is fucking disgusting! That would already be a good tempo secret without the trample effect. You can't even play arround it without taking face dmg. Every mage deck will run 2 copys of that.
This is an incredibly powerful secret, and unlike so many of the other Mage secrets, this one never really gives you a bad outcome. Either you kill their mid-sized creature or you punch them in the head, both are positive outcomes for the kind of deck you want to put this in which is the same deck you'de want to slot Aluneth into. You can very easily play this in a very aggressive burn mage which shoots fireballs and lasers at your opponent until they fall over and die and in fact, this card is SO good that it makes all the other Mage secrets way more playable. Now your opponent MAY actually end up playing right into your Mirror Entity because they're too scared of taking 5 to the face if that secret ends up being Fire Rune.
Thanks to this card you can now play a much bigger and more complete secret package with Counterspell, and Mirror Entity. Hell, you may even want to start playing Kirin Tor Mage and Kabal Crystal Runner because of this. Probably not Kabal Lackey because none of these secrets are that great on turn 1.
TLDR; this card may change the secret meta almost as much as Arcanologist did.
This is hands-down meta defining. You can't even play around this secret, all you can do is choose which minion dies and how much face damage you take.
I think I hate this card. This is SUCH a good aggro tool. Although I guess the KFT meta has been a pretty long break from aggro.
This card supports burn mage. They always check with the lowest health minion in case of mirror entity . This card would be like 3 mana 4-5 damage to face + destroy a minion.
I believe correct name would be "Exploding Runes" or "Explosive Runes". I speak Russian just fyi.

This has some nuts potential in secret mage. Very good card
this card is bullshit, normally secrets are supposed to be possible to play around, but this secret even counters the counter.
a pretty nice secret.
Has some flavor.
powerful enough without being too crazy.
think it will see some play.

Direct counter to Quest Mage. I like it.

It sounds good !
The real question is does the damage work like Volcano or is it all at once with the excess going face?
If the damage doesn't tick like volcano a divine shield minion would be the perfect counter

I love this card so much. FINALLY a Mage secret that's actually worth 3 mana.

Eyyy piercing damage in hearthstone? Lol this game really is becoming yugioh.
Tempo secret mage HAS to be a thing. Blizzard will make sure.
Countered by divine shield minions.

Now THAT"S a badass secret.
