Insane. On-par with Demonwrath, but arguably better because it's easier to run spell damage and on-spellcast synergy in Mage (and it actually works against Zoolock).
Some more control Mage support and we have a good class to compete with Priest (since Mage doesn't have to rely on board presence to win).
Doesnt work with spell damage, doesnt have upside of warlock one. Weak.
Why wouldn't it work with spell damage?
I am assuming he means that it kills the minion that provides the spell damage, even though I can see how his statement is wrong in the way he phrased it.
Thinking more on the card I think it could be a one-off in Freeze Mage running the Evolved Kobold since you can use some burn on your opponent's face and then close it up with this as a clear (in the cases where you can't outright kill your opponent this could potentially buy you a turn, but that would still require some discount with Emperor Thaurissan to deal sufficient damage with burn taking into account that normally you would spend 7 mana for the combo). I still maintain though that I don't think it is as good as people make it out to be. Certainly not meta-defining or very good as it has been voted by the majority of people. Cheap cards that can only be one offs in certain decks can't be considered to be that good.
Why are people saying that freeze mage won't run this? Freeze mages used to run Explosive Sheep all the time. This is basically that but one mana cheaper.

Because 2 damage isn't as relevant since the rise of Midrange Shaman against whom you would need about 3 damage. I think they could have made it 4 mana deal 3 damage to all minions. Then it would be much better against Shaman and decks that buff the hand.
This card is just like Chillwind Yeti except without the body and with an added deal 2 damage to all minions effect
Terrible joke, since Chillwind Yeti costs 4 mana, not 3...
He was being sarcastic.
He was trying to make a joke and he did it wrong. I have no respect for people like him.
His joke was on point, you just didn't understand it. He was referencing the person above him who compared the card to a Corrupted Seer without the Murloc tag and body. Since that person also got the cost incorrect, the OP also got it wrong to mock him.

And I have no respekt for people not beeing able to read before writing.
Obviously YJH2000 made a well adjusted joke on d4rki23, who doesn't pay attention on manacost, too...
Guys, please, could you think a bit before posting? For god sake, I was obviously joking too, who the hell would have no respect for someone for just believing he did a bad joke? Are you f...king kidding me?
Seriously, why do you think I wasn't being sarcastic with all my comments about this guy's joke, but you had no problem in realising YJHS2000 was being sarcastic too? I even also posted a picture of Captain Obvious in reference to Kanekinumb's post, didn't that tell you anything?
2 damage used to also matter to Zoo. Now they laugh at it.
I am actually excited for this card. All the people that hop on Reno Mage bandwagon, keep this card in the mulligan and get steamrolled because it's an awful card.. so they reroll back to a different deck.
Thank you, Blizzard, for inventing a card to punish bandwagon jumpers.
Mage has early board clears. They have names like Arcane Blast, Frostbolt, Forgotten Torch, Forbidden Flame, Doomsayer. Or you can spend 5 mana, kill your entire board, and concede after the Zoo immediately refills his board because that's such a bad play against Zoo (and turn 5 3 damage AOE won't.. clear.. a Zoolocks board.. ever?) :/
This isn't a board clear. What meta do you guys play in where 2 health minions without divine shield make up your opponents board?
This is a lose more card, imo. Useless in all of Control Mages bad matchups ie.. Secret Hunter, Maly Druid, Token Paladin, N'Zoth Paladin. Definitely will be useless against Dragon Priest since it doesn't even kill their 1 drop.. lol.
If you think this card helps you beat one of those decks I literally have no clue what to tell your except it won't .
So why does demonwrath see play in reno Lock?
Because of the lack of better AoE-spells. They already run Shadowflame, Hellfire and Twisting Nether. I don't think they have another AoE available to them.

Yeah mage need to burn dem aggro..
Renomage is gonna be the bane of fast ladder...

Brace yourself, Reno mage is coming!! <3
Card is actually fair because it hurts both sides of the board. But at least in current meta, 2 damage AoE spells are kinda meh.
