I was just wondering what thoughts people had on Volatile Elemental in Big Spell Mage. I haven't looked at the common lists lately, but last time I checked (and every time before that) nobody had included the card. I think it could be a decent option for early board control/removal which would transition decently well into the late game for Jaina's hero power (with the added benefit of lifesteal off the deathrattle).
I currently have two in my Big Spell Mage that I'm climbing with at Rank 7. Has anyone played with them closer to legend?
The main big spell mage lists right now either run keleseth (no volatile elemental for a 2 drop) or double of either doomsayer or raven familiar (hit legend with a list that ran double familiar), and doomsayer can potentially clear the board, and raven familiar draws removal cards (need i say anything about keleseth?). volatile elemental is only good on turn 2 or with jaina to make a water ele and deal damage (at that point id rather have double voodoo doll as they actually kill minions). So for me I dont think it has the same impact as other potential 2 drops for big spell mage.

Ah, I forgot about Voodoo Doll. I don't have any, but if I did, I definitely would include it over Volatile Elementals. Well stated point.
