One of my favorite cards in the set. As a wild player, potentially, you can discover multiple Ice Blocks, and prolong your life.
Won me a lot of games. In Wild you can't afford to play around all secrets... people often think there are only a few good secrets. But in reality most of them are good in the right situation... one of the hidden gems of this expanion and i like the art aswell...
Does it work with mage's quest?
Just tested it, it doesn't work with the Quest.
for the record, since it's a minion casting the spell with it's battlecry and not the player themselves it doesn't work. so any minion that does something like this won't work with the quest.
You can discover only secret that isn't in play (active for you hero) yes?
It should be a Hunter card, but whatever
Butthurts downvoting this :D
I agree it should definitely be a hunter card instead since mages got enough secret discovery cards as it is. Maybe so many mages were upset and sad about getting rid of the abused Ice Block card so they threw in this one.
Card art is a homage to the room of winged keys in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Will this discover only mage secrets, or from other classes too?
when rogur player plays this . they discover rogue secrets
An attempt to keep Secret Mage alive. Let's see what else they give, losing some of the core cards to that archetype.
I think its actually an attempt to push secrets in a more controlling fashion. Secret mage will be dead after expac hits; hey lose Kabal Crystal Runner, Medivh's Valet and Kabal Lackey which makes it really hard for them to have even close to the same tempo that they used to have. A 1 mana 2/2 with a secret attached is pretty slow.
The card has lots of interesting applications. For example you can put it in the even-only deck or you can use it in a deck that only contains minions.
All mage secrets cost 3 so it can not go in even only decks. I do think it is a really cool card with many applications though. :) I was wrong, did not read it correctly, sorry.
The card costs 4, so you can put this in an even-only deck. It gives that deck the ability to use secrets when the actual secrets were not possible.
With MSoG rotating out, mage loses one way to play free secret. It's nice that they give us another one instead.
The big benefit of this card is being able to run it in a minion deck, you can still have secrets but not have spells in your deck. Can also run it in big spell mage without having the 3 cost spells in the deck too.
Okay im confused this card looks really good for secrets mage but everyone is saying That ice block is rotating out? did i miss something? i though it was just the clodlight that was leaving standard from the basic set.
