Hero is busted. +3 spell damage for the rest of the game?
It takes a LOT of work to get there -- nine spells cast in a fairly rigid order.
I'm sure it will get done, but remember that every class gets a similarly powerful Questline, so you need to cast your nine spells AND have enough burn payoff left over to win before your opponent finishes their game plan. It will be an interesting race, for sure.
Spell Mage is kind of in between: it is no ultra aggressive archetype, but it can't play too well as a defensive control type neither. The value of this Quest is nice, but it may be a 'win-more' in the matches Spell Mage already is favored (a.k.a Control Priest).
It's too early to speculate, but going by our current Standard spells I can't see even a golden fish open hand where you could use it against aggro (midrange is doable, I guess). If we have some good defensive fire/frost/arcane spells, then the second stage of the quest may actually be of some service to stall aggro decks, but I do think that if you want to punish/win aggro matches, you should run something else..
I agree. Another huge thing to look at is mage in standard only has Fireball, Runed orb, and Mask of cthun that can hit face. So it definitely has a power cap in that sense( unless we get a new face spell for mage).
also mage in wild would probably just use the old quest( from ungoro) or apm flamewalker mage to win.

So from what I understand, you get the reward from each part of the quest? And this always starts in your hand at start of game?
This card is insane. Draw three cards for 1 mana. And possibly another reward at the end? This is not hard to do!
I believe the reward changes as you level it up, so the next one would be Discover a spell and finally you get the upgraded hero card.

You need to play all 3 spell types to draw 1 spell and progress the quest
