Its funny how everyone thinks that this card is solely intended for control/combo mage

Welcome to the new meta, an aggressive mage that ever runs out of steam!

Have Fun Laddering guys!

So the way card draw works is: You want to draw into your cards immediately (so that you are not dead the next turn vs aggro) .

Also it's super mega bad into harri or ooze and it can just insta lose you the game .

Therefore I think this is unplayable .

You when playing with Mill Rogue, the opponent don't realise yet and play this card:

I insist that this card has little practical use due to its effect and its cost. It will be only useful in some particular cases and, even for those cases, it will not be worth because of its cost...

We still have to see the legendary weapons of the other classes, but I believe that Aluneth will be the only weapon in the game that those who play it will pray for their opponents to destroy it before it is too late.

In short, this legendary weapon offers little or very expensive utility in exchange of its many associated disadvantages. As the mages already have many stupid/garbage legendaries I think that, sadly, our first legendary weapon will also fall in that same bag.

For that reason, since the current effect of Aluneth is practically unworthy for mages, I ask you to do an exercise of imagination: let's speculate what would be a more appropriate, innovative and, ultimately, fun and interactive effect for this legendary weapon.

That's why I invite you all (especially those of you who could consider yourselves as 'main mages') to vote in this poll.

Seems absolutely horrible.

Can't use it as only draw, as you can have only one so you can't run it in freeze / exodia because it'll clunk up your hand... it has absolutely no use in tempo-based lists obviously and it's a death sentence for control decks. About the only place I can think it might have a niche fit is in burn mage, but even for burn mage to blow 6 mana on no immediate impact seems horrible.

And that's not even counting it being counter by weapon removal. 

Perhaps if some other cards come around to support it. Other than that... 400 dust as far as I have seen it. Looks to be on par with Loremaster Cho.

My question is: Will this lose durability after the end of the turn ? If not, this will be quite suicidal self-mill mage, unless it’s a combo deck... but even in this case, has chance to mill combo cards too...

Cant wait...

this is a realy good card. even if it goes of just once it's great. it can bring life to a sort of midrange-elementa/secret mage. it won't work in freeze of grind mage because u get milled.

Really this card fits in an aggo mage deck.  everything else I feel like it would just mill your cards

Why are so many people saying Quest Mage? It's a legendary, so you can't count on drawing it. So a Quest Mage is going to sit on his Coldlight Oracles to keep his hand-size small in case he draws Aluneth? Nope. He's going to play those Oracles, maintain a high hand-count like he does right now, draw Aluneth, and then be unable to play Aluneth because he'll overdraw. Or he'll draw Aluneth early, have dead Oracles in his hand, and have to spaz out every turn trying to figure out how to avoid milling his Antonidas.

It's just not going to work in Quest Mage. It's going to work in Aggro Mage with a lot of card draw and spell power boosts - Sorcerer's Apprentices, Thalnos, Oracles, Arcane Intellects, Tainted Zealots, Cult Sorcerers, Acolytes of Pain, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Explosions, Frostbolts, lots of 1 to 3 mana cards that can be spammed out of the hand once Aluneth is activated. Just like any aggro deck - when the opponent lacks AoE they get overrun.

In this deck the role of Aluneth is to act as fuel to finish the game. Otherwise the mage may be out of cards by turn 6 even with the rest of the draw cards.

Way to mill yourself...

Precisely my thoughts

even if it draws just once u basicly paid 6 mana for a nourish which isnt so bad.

Zoo mage its coming

Completely same
