Tempo Mage can run Kirin Tor Mage + Mirror Entity + This guy, setting up a devastating amount of tempo in t5. Likely game-winning.
It's also a great removal for freeze mage and even a playable card in exodia mage (lul). I mean, it's for sure the strongest common card of this release - and the one that will have more impact on lists.
Mage may be the class that benefits from secret synergy the most. For the simple reason that Ice Block just can not be tripped, until the game is pretty much already over.
I'd like to see more Ethereal Arcanist, since a 3 mana 5/5 sounds nice to me.
Well some aggressive Mage decks have been running ice block and other freeze type cards, so that may become the new flavor of tempo Mage. I look forward to how interactive Mage decks will be to face.
This card will break Wild, i guarantee it. Could be really good in standard too with the right deck building, people could come up with something insane.
not sure about his viability in standard, secrets are a big tempo loss when you can't accelerate them, like even the class with1 mana secrets doesn't run them and this card comes during a crucial turn in the game after a turn 3 where you basically did nothing, that said, completely bonkers in wild. SUicide my mad scientist into killing the first bodd of a shredder sounds super amazing.

Freeze Mage might finally have a strong position in the meta!
Bullsh*tly strong. Meta-defining. Dragon is an archetype because Blackwing Corruptor and this is so much better.
Now that Taunt thing is going to be a problem. Secret Mage is real. zzzzzz
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
Corvus oculum corvi non eruit.
We have many secrets.....
So, how about that Secret Mage with Grand Crusader to get Mysterious Challenger?
Thank god mad scientist is out of standard
And it's targeted, not random. What even the hell, this card is absurdly strong.
meta defining card with secrets.
But for what deck. Some control/grinder mage probably.
Don't think for tempo mages though.
Very good card. Mages can finally add secrets back in their decks.

Anyway, finally I can reactivate my long-forgotten secret Mage deck!

It will be average in Standard but ''LMAO'' good in Wild.

This is ridiculous 0_0 They really want mage to be the popular class
Living the Dream:
Turn 1: Mana Wyrm
Turn 2: Coin Brann, attack for 2
Turn 3: Kirin Tor Mage, making 2 Secrets free (Ice Block and Spellbender, as they're the least likely to go off?), cast them both, Attack for 6
Turn 4: 2x Medivh's Valet at your opponent's face for 12, attack for the last 10 (4 from Kirin Tor, 2 from Brann, 4 from Mana Wyrm)
So, I'm sure that'll be fun! :)
