Probably because this is cheaper to combo with the new spell damage minions. Against aggro, you place down a body and clear their board, and doing that one turn early means more tempo + clear, which is a big deal. My guess is that if mages do start running these spell damage minions, they would run both this and Arcane Explosion. But right now I can't imagine what deck would run this package. The spells are too small for BSM, and burn mage doesn't want to run clears, just burn. Elemental mage maybe?
Kinda weak imho. I remember seeing a similar card in the fan card design competitions. Arcane Explosion is a lot better (lol), just because it can affect the whole board.
It's a common. Don't expect much. But I've seen way worst common than this. My feeling is that with magnetic in place, ping won't be as good as big removal though.
Only really good with the new spell damage cards, though early-game removal of something that mage has been missing since volcanic potion rotated out so I think this might be pretty okay
It's actually a way for Burn Mage to clear the board for cheap. Arcane Missiles is better because it CAN go face and this can't. I am not sure, but this has some potential with Spell Power decks.
I think this card is very good against Paladin go wide strategy. So if Paladin stay high Tier, this will be run.

Without spell damage it would be weak imo, but with the new spell damage things its good I guess.
Love the tribes.
It's an "Odd Paladin Hate" spell. I like it. It will probably be useless in other match ups though.
see mages got weird stuff lately
Blizz, can i play class other than paladin?
Why don’t you play Arcane Explosion then...
Yep sorry my mistake.
Love the tribes.
Playable on its own but very good with both new Spellpower +2 minions.
The song "Never Gonna Shoot Your Stars" came crossed my mind when I saw its name.
Oh, it can also target your minions, but why would you do that? I'm missing something here...

Without spell damage, this is worse than arcane missiles. Should be spell damage synergy in the deck for it to see play.
You don't want to spend emissary for this crap :). It's just bad card.

Probably too low impact to see play.. unless odd paladin is very popular.
As a control hunter player that has tried grievous bite, this card wont see play.

Not sure how good this will be but I think people are seriously underestimating the effect of the new spelldamage minions
Its way better with mage hero power
