This is a great card because it's cheap and it scales if you use Spell Damage minions. With this and Rhonin, all Mage needs is a 1 mana, +1 Spell Damage card, and Spell Damage mage will be a thing.
It's cool with Malygos. However it is more likely and reliably pretty amazing with Bloodmage Thalnos, Sorcerer's Apprentice, and every other existing and used mage card.
I think one of the reasons I like it is because its such an efficient 1 for 1 early on with late game potential, and the lower your burn curve is the more you can spend on card draw for more burn.
this isnt bad even without the spell dmg clause..... 1 for 2 damage to a minion could help against aggro, the spell dmg clause at that point is a bonus...... since you can run bloodmage and azure drake to take down anything larger than 2 toughness.... its pretty flexible..... might be good in tempo mage....
This is the card that convinced me to buy the 50 pack pre-purchase. I always wanted a spell damage Mage deck, I tried it in the past but this may just push it over to viable. DO WANT
Will surely spawn some spell damage decks, less like freeze Mage more like control. Any spell damage buff on this and the value is real, especially midgame, turns 4-6. Otherwise, it's average.
Shame it only says minions. But I guess people want to dream for that turn 10 combo with Maly for removal that late in the game?
So using this card with malygod on board is better than fireball. Is between fireball and pyro. THE FCK??
Not strictly better since you need to use your hero power as well.
what even replaces this? i mean it refines somecards like flame cannon half the damage less mana n u can choose but still

It does 2 + (2*spell damage)
1 spell damage = 4 damage
2 spell damage = 6 damage
3 spell damage = 8 damage
Etc. For every spell damage you have, add 2 additional damage to the card onto its base 2 damage.
At first I was like WOAH. COMBO WITH MALY IN YO FAAAACCEE!!!!
...but then I saw that it only targets minions. Poop :/
Cool spell, though.

Arcane Shot on steroids.
edit: Oh only targets minions? It's pretty meh then
Too bad it's minion only. Trump thinks this is mediocre but we'll see...
Gazlowe buff
dangerous card for sure
Maly+Rhonin+2 Arcane Blast+Thaurissan ARCANE MAGE META CONFIRM

so we can concentrate frostbolt and fireball on the face :3
Control mage is a thing now yay
Interesting but probably not great. Never "OP" since it doesn't go to the face.
Say "Wow" for RNG!
Read the card to yourself out loud
Arcane Blast
