I always thought this card was from Karazhan for some reason. But still, a 1 mana 2 damage that can essentially get huge damage pretty easily is good.

Must have for tempo mage!

Only hits minions bro, dont think thats instant 12-0, id be looking for better 10 mana combos if i were you.

For me this card is a must to run with Azure Drake and Bloodmage thalnos.. Gives you Card Rotation + Good board clear @4 dmg for 1 mana

Wait, lemme get this straight.

• 1 mana damage spell; only hits minions
• Damage varies based on what cards you have to combine it with
• Can have arbitrarily large damage to a minion
• Always does 2 damage even if it's the first thing you do in the game.

GG Savagery. OK, not a really difficult milestone to clear, but whatever...

ANYTHING Savagery can do effectively, Arcane Blast does easier and more consistently.

This is a fantastic card in Tempo Mage, even without any Spell Damage bonuses.  With even a single +1 Spell Damage minion on board, this is twice as efficient as Flamecannon, and can be targeted.  Love Arcane Blast. :)

Before the TGT launch I've mistakenly saw this as Deal 2 damage......, overlooking the to a minion part, which makes me very disappointed when it officially came out. However I now found this to be a great spell for tempo mage, where this can easily become a 1 mana 4 damage spell to remove most early game minion. I do believe it has the potential to become a staple in tempo mage(at least one copy in the deck)

This need to be able to damage hero or it'll be lack luster since mage does not lack removal.

If you could target heroes, it would literally be the most OP card for the Mage. Especially with a Freeze Mage deck.

This actually is a very versatile removal. It can help control early aggression and its a great tempo/removal card when paired Spell damage (Azure Drakes). .

Notable milestones:

With one Spell Damage, this is a 1-mana Shadow Bolt.

With three Spell Damage, this is a 1-mana Flame Lance.

I can see why they made this card unable to target Heroes. If you're playing a Freeze mage running Malygos, then this card could be broken OP. If you get them all discounted by Thaurissan then: Malygos + Frostbolt + Ice Lance X2 + Arcane blast X2 =  9 mana 38 damage combo, or 10 mana 46 damage combo if you have the 2nd Frostbolt.

This card has the potential to be the mage's Shield Slam. While its easier to stack armor than getting spelldamage, its still a kind of cheap removal for even big bodies which was always the strength of Control Warrior. This card could make simple Control Mages a more viable thing, maybe even dragonthemed with Malygos and Azure Drake

Beautiful gold card!

Malygos brings minion-only pyroblast to the field.

I feel like this card will be like a shield slam for mages. Bloodmage Thalnos and Azure Drakes are common in Mage decks so and could potentially turn this into a very cheap, efficient removal spell.
