The art is really terrible. The main feature of Deathstalker Rexxar is that it's still Rexxar. This art doesn't have anything to do with Jaina.

I am actually fairly sure it is real now. Every single minute aspect of the card matches the authentic ones in game. From the dragon looking slightly over the mana crystal to border running flush with the hero portrait, the t on the armor is even crooked. I can't argue it is a fake anymore, but if it is, they nailed every detail. The only thing questionable is the artwork, but even in that category. Wouldn't a faker try to make it look like the promo art? People keep finding flaws in the card someone made on this site, but everything about the card in that video matches a real Hearthstone card. 

Think about it like this. You have a board full of elementals on turn 9, you play this and go to work. We haven't seen the hero power either. I am beginning to think this card isn't even bad. There are arguments for burn mage, but if all the classes can heal now, mage can't burn anyone out and will have to play a more control, fatigue oriented game.

It could still be fake but I doubt it now.

Well, since there's no word from Ben or anyone yet to deny it's fake, it's probably not.

Personally I think jaina the frost bitch is going to be really bad, it doesn't matter how powerful the hero power will be. (If this is real)

It's just too much loss of tempo to recover from.  The fact that you can't even hero power the same turn hurts even more.

It reminds me of the time warp quest, which also had a very powerful effect but never saw much play because of overly steep requirements.  And at least the quest starts in your opening hand; you still have to be lucky enough to draw the new hero cards.

Tl;Dr: Blizzard loves to print really powerful cards that never see play because they are too costly.

 Perhaps you're unaware that Quest Mage now has a >50% win rate after the Caverns nerf, and is starting to reappear in the meta.

Think about Reno decks for a moment -- they don't need to draw Reno, but he often ensures a win if they do. DK cards don't even have deckbuilding restrictions like Reno does.

In case that this leak is true, i think its unfair to judge it without knowing all the released cards (for example some new elemental stuff for mages).

Dont even know the hero Power of this

Your guess? It was  stated during the expansion reveals that every hero card would offer health. Or armor if you want to be literal 

I I doubt this is real cuz why would blizzard ever give mage the shit end of the stick am I right?

Good. Mage has way too many OP cards right now. It's not even fun to play against.  They're decimating the class and i for one am glad.

She looks like a fkn Banshee  and effects also is something that a banshee would have.

Well here's what happened to mage:

Blizz was like ok mage quest generate a bunch of spells that don't start in your deck.

Blizz: Okay, now we need to give mage a way to generate those spells. Then comes testing and they go it's ata good spot because mage isn't going to start their decks with these spells they're gonna have to generate them.

HS players at launch: let's run all these spells and run all these minions and spells that generate MORE spells instead of the quest. 

Blizz: Fuck

No clue if it is real or not however I can say that a card like this is terrible. Like... Hot garbage... Maybe worse. The question is, does that matter? Getting a terrible class legendary isn't so bad is it? Not for mage which can just keep playing secret or tempo or exodia or or or or.... You get my point. There are so many different mage decks and it is such a solid class from a design aspect that it being counted out even if it only gets 1 good card in the entire set would be folly of us. Mage is good. This terrible card will not change that. Besides, in freeze mage or any mage that could use armor and a 1 off freeze of a single minion after developing a block, is this card really going to see no play? I think it would be played simply because it has control aspects and could potentially gain you 5 armor and 6 health (plus however much you consider 6 health minion soak to be in terms of your life total.) plus freeze 1-2 enemy characters and deal 6 damage. When you look at it like that then it becomes a reasonable card in super slow decks or if you can cheat out a block the turn before you use this and keep the block from activating for the turn.

Based on how poison works perhaps you should start saving your dust XD Baron will be pretty good if this card ends up being playable in a elemental stall deck

Sooo... I don't think this is real unless it's got a hero power as well.

The breastplate is extremely different. One has articulation points while the other shows no such lines. The next thing is that the card art has super saiyan hair while the promo art has long flowing hair AND a large purple/pink stripe. Plus the promo is wearing a distinct I crown/head decoration while the card art is not wearing any such head piece. On to the sword. First of all it is in the wrong hand. That alone is a severe red flag. But then the card art has a blue ice formation running up the middle of the blade, a curled bit on the guard, the black that is supposed to be in the center is on the sides of the blue ice and has no ice/blue crystal on the pommel means that the sword is insanely suspect. Lastly we have her cloak. It is slightly different especially the shoulder area has a completely different art. The promo has a golden ice dragon looking guard while the card art is not boasting anything even close to similar. Lastly her eyes are not glowing and she is not giving a smile at all. Which the promo art has both for her.

All in all... To be fooled by the art on this card is crazy to me. I am not saying that the effect and the mana cost may be exactly correct but I am saying that the art is fake. It is great art and it could possibly be a beta version or something. I don't know for certain that it isn't a beta version. But I would be shocked if this were what we see when the card is released :/
