basically you can combine it with quest mage and otk without the giants or sorcerer's apprentice shenanigans (if only mage got a mass dispel for taunts)
For the 9-mana cost, you have to cast at least 2, preferably 3 or more 5 or mana spells to get any value out of this. That makes the card extremely hard to use even with Deck of Wonders.
I love this design its not good or bad it seem those card you run because its flashy
EDIT this might better than i thought it was since A those are dragon meaning Dragon fire is useless also Mages run like double firelands double blizzard sometimes meteor and even cabal in some decks however this might be too slow BUT THAT WONT STOP ME CRAFTING THIS MEME OF A CARD
EDIT EDIT Deck of wonders might work with this meaning in a dream scenario you could technically get all deck of wonder on turn 5-8 and coin this out meaning turn 8 you could have a full board of dragons *lol*
Will 100% see play in wild mage. From a stats standpoint this is essentially the warlock deathknight, but for mage, with an added anti-priest effect (Razakus is the best deck in wild atm). The 5 armor and heropower is negligible considering mage's toolset of iceblock and ways to search for iceblock. The new elemental package will make mage into a mid-range/control class with absolutely ridiculous tempo swings and durability.
We almost certainly know it does not count. Taking Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Wild Pyromancer as examples, cards that say "when you cast a spell" actually mean "when you play a spell". These two cards only trigger when you play spells from hand.
Since a few people have mentioned Firelands Portal, I just looked at the revealed K&C 5-cost revealed minions that will be added to the pool. 2 have average stats and 5 have poor stats. Do you think Firelands is still good enough? I'm not so sure.

I think the key issue is not "cast" vs "play", but whether a spell is counted as being cast by "you".
This is a very rough draft I came up with for her and it doesn't seem like it'd be that much of a problem to maintain tempo with the elementals and other big spell cards.
You have a 7 out of 9 chance (or less if you keep a spellstone in your opener) to draw a big spell from Raven Familiar and plenty of elementals to upgrade the spellstone fast.
I think people don’t know how powerful that is. Two 5/5 alone marke this card good and the card by itself could be my favorite one! Back in BrM Days I played dragon mage and loved it. I know no synergy but it reminds me of that wonderful days...

Meta changes the moment you switch your deck.

Wimmy wam wam wazzle!
Evolve getting nerfed hard this expansion. I like it!
Medivh Kazakus Deck of Wonders Frost Lich Mage. I can see it happening.
Cardstone protip - the scrolls from deck of wonders most certainly do not count because the cards cast themselves.
Release the Kraken!
I was already gonna make a big spell mage deck but this seals the deal. I'm also crafting this in gold because damn it's beautiful

Cool card but seems kinda slow

looks amazing to me at least.. maybe it will be my return to mage this meta... only wish I had khadgar :(
...... well I guess that's a definite medivh buy from me then (can't stand jaina)
