Man, this spell is going to invite so many videos from Murloc, Trolden, SparkTV and all those other guys...Words probably could not describe how pissed someone could be if they got caught on the wrong end of this Secret.
Unless a Flamewaker type card gets added, the variability might be too much. There are quite a few spells that aren't worth getting.
Too expensive, too easy to play around. Will not see much play after the first week when people realize these things.
too easy to play around, nearly every mage secret counterable by playing a low mana card
Now THAT's a secret.
I feel like the quest will be "Play 4 secrets" --> all secrets are free for the rest of the game.
inb4 2 Mages infinitely juggle this back and forth for a whole game
U can steal a 0 mana Coin. Insane value!
This card will be played around like Counterspell, but the problem is that it doesn't actually disrupt your opponent's play. You're investing 3 mana to play a card in the future, while your opponent gets an instant effect off their spell. That's a net loss in tempo for you, so you basically have to hit a 4 mana or higher spell to get value out of this. Add in the fact that many of these high mana spells have no synergy in mage and you have a card that gives your opponent the initiative and the opportunity to dictate the results of the card. The only saving grace is that Arcanologist+Kirin Tor Mage can cheat this card out for free.
Sweet card art!
This card seems kinda bad. Let me explain my reasoning:
1. There are very few decks that play high-cost, high-value spells. I'll expand on this a bit more below.
2. How often do people play high-value spells into a mage secret? They don't, not with cards like Counterspell and Spellbender. You'll be getting the scraps that people will use to proc your spell: Things like Mortal Coil or Upgrade!. Doesn't a 3-mana 1/3 weapon seem good? Tack an extra mana on there and Blizzard might just think it's not broken enough for Rogue. (*Cough* Poisoned Blade)
3. Out of the popular decks that run high-value spells (pretty much only Renolock), they have no reason to play a high-cost, high value spell first. Even if you get them to play Twisting Nether, what do you do? Your board is clear and you have a 0-cost Twisting Nether. Yeah, it's a free board clear, but your opponent knows that you have it. They're not going to play into it unless they know they can get minions on afterwards.
4. If they do proc the secret with a low cost spell, you're not gaining any net-value, and you might be losing some. If they use something like Maelstrom Portal to portal to proc your secret, you've lost a turn and 1 mana to get a spell.
I haven't played Hearthstone a lot recently, I haven't payed attention to the card reveals, and I haven't considered any other cards in this set. But from my viewpoint right now, this card seems like it would be easy to play around. I think that's its still worse than Mirror Entity because Mirror Entity plays the minion right away. Of course both are bad when the card you copy is a lower cost then each respective secret, but In the current state of Hearthstone I'd prefer a minion in any incarnation rather than what might potentially be a bad spell, especially some of the common ones that Mages wouldn't even be able to use under most circumstances (Deadly Poison, for example).
That being said, the card is insane if you somehow manage to get something good off of it (Flamestrike, Siphon Soul, etc.,).

Card Design ChampionI'm actively trying to figure out spells you don't want to get from this card and honestly, very few come to mind. At worst, I see you getting a Backstab because that already costs 0 mana and let's be honest, you probably wouldn't be too sad about getting a Backstab. However, imagine getting a 0 cost Kazakus potion. Holy crap that's insane.
