Hmm... I dunno. I think its playable, and its better than potion of polymorph, but is it that much better than potion of polymorph to see play? I'm not sure. I think this is playable in secret mage or burn mage, but I think its true value is its a good card to discover from discover effects. Its a slight buff to cards like primordial glyph.
If aggro mage becomes a thing, I think this could see play in it, but this needs the face damage to be relevant to be good, otherwise its just a slightly better potion of polymorph or mirror image, and those don't see play usually.
why do people have such terrible taste in cards? This is utter garbage. Face damage isn't very relevant in this game and this card is no better than potion of polymorph which sees absolutely no play. Potion of polymorph is sometimes better in that it takes care of deathrattles. You spend 3 mana playing this and I play firefly. I lose 4 hp and gain a 1 mana 1/2 and you lose 2 mana, I'll take that trade any day.
Well Fire Fly is certainly a decent counter to this card, but how often are you going to have Firefly in your hand on turn 3? I usually play him on turn 1. This card is far superior to Potion of Polymorph because it kills (not changes to a 1/1) and enemy minion AND pushes face damage.
And to say face damage isn't very relevant is silly. In burn-heavy aggro decks (where this card will absolutely, undoubtedly see a ton of play), face damage and early board control is all that matters.
Wow, a mage secret with no downside. Auto Include in pretty much any mage deck. I'm curious how it interacts with divine shield. Does the opponent take 6 to the face or does the shield eat all of the damage.
Divine Shield will turn any damage that minion take in to 0 then it pop. So 0 damage cannot can not excess I think. (Theoretically but depend on how they actually code, there were no Excess before)
This is instant vaporize for every <6 health minions but you will take 5 dmg if play small minion .3 mana Mind Blast sound not really good but keep in mind mage also has a bunch of burn spell and snowballing 1 drop,tempo secret mage will be insane with this card
This is actually I nice mention. Maybe not in the quest mage deck, but it will act like paladins try to counter ice block with Eye for an Eye. So definitely another reason for tempo mage to use this.
Divine Shield absorbs the damage, so it gets taken away but you take no face damage.
Do you have a confirmation for this? Honest question, I just want to know.
Divine Shield doesn't just prevent damage from affecting a minion; it reduces the amount of damage to 0. So when 6 becomes 0, there's no damage left to splash.

I love it. Can't wait to play this.
Destroying secret mage with a mage secret... Well played, Blizzard... well played.

Divine shield minions or some specific deathrattle you may want to trigger, e.g. lepper gnome, to name a few.
I hope that 0.6% who voted 'dust it' is either kidding or suggests everyone to dust it so maybe he wont face this card on ladder :') :'D

There is a bug with this. I played a Murmuring Elemental against Lava-Filled Chamber, it was killed by The Floor is Lava (so it had -1 HP) and THEN it still triggered Explosive Runes which then dealt 7 damage to my hero! (6 - (-1) I presume).
IMO it shouldn't trigger when the minion is already dead.

I would talk about how broken this card is but thankfully Secret Mage dies with rotation.
