RNG RNG RNG boring RNG RNG RNG
Casino mage with Yogg-Saron, Hope's End confirmed! :)
Blizzard's games are never really that deep, and Hearthstone is geared towards the more casual/fun side than strategy.
Garbage cards are garbage...
Is it mage spells only or spells from any class?
Regardless, the fact that targets are chosen randomly makes it pretty devastating if it goes wrong
(unless you have no other minion on the board, since battlecries trigger before the summoning of the minion that cast it is applied. Update: it can still hit your face, lol)Insane RNG, what was it that ben brode said? "less random"?
The Q&A about Yogg-Saron implied it can kill itself with the spells it cast, so I would assume that this card can also target itself.
Yeah i've been reading into battlecries, I'm not sure how exactly they function anymore.
It seems then the battlecry "phase" is triggered after the card is played so it should be able to kill itself
Love him, Hate him, but Trump had to be an Entertaining card :) Like real life.
Will be 20 dust. This may have been playable at 4 mana, but this is a neutral effect placed on top on a badly stated card.
It is not neutral. A lot of spells that can only be beneficial to you (carddraw, enemy targets only etc.) and many 50/50 and better if behind on board. It reminds to be seen how this works out though. It should have costed 4 like Goblin Blastmage:-(
This card seems really good imo, since it casts the spell I assume it works with cards like Flamewaker and Mana Wyrm. It does have a few flaws though, you wouldn't want it to Fireball your minions or your face, but I think this card's potential benefits could outweigh the risk since you also have spells like Arcane Intellect and all of the mage secrets that shouldn't be able to backfire. In wild there are even more cards like Unstable Portal and Flamecannon
EDIT: Well I've been corrected about spell interactions, but I still think it's not that bad :)
It won't work with Flamewalker or Mana Wyrm, cause it's not a "cast spell". It's like a "summon" spell.. like when the cards with batlecry are summoned and not played, they don't work (the batlecry effect). It's not me that saying it, Trump talked about it when he revealed the card.
Oh, it also won't work with spell damage.
As Yogg-Saron has been confirmed to not activate Flamewaker, Mana Wyrm, etc. it is highly likely this will not either.
I wonder, why it says "TARGETS chosen randomly", while its just one spell.
Imagine "Dark Bargain" for example, or maybe "Everyfine is Awesome"....or did i get it wrong ?
it could be like arcane missles and stuff
It's just copypasta from Yogg-Saron. Blizzard sticking to uniform card text the one time it's not really appropriate. Although there are some spells that target multiple characters (Dark Bargain for one, as mentioned above), these are all random anyway. So unless we get some Brann-like minion that makes spells activate twice, it seems redundant.

or Fireball to your face FeelsBadMan
Tho to be honest, most of the times it should be in your favor.
