Not bad, but has similar problems like Lady in white, no way to guarantee it to be in top half of your deck. It also costs a lot of mana, with no body attached to the card, so you need to be really far ahead.
Seems like its much more convoluted than just playing quest mage, and that deck isn't good in standard either. If you want to shuffle antonidas back first, it is much easier to just play that deck instead.
Raven familiar is ok as an idea, but meta will be infested with druids and I think they get to their otk faster+have UI which costs 10. Also you probably need stall tools like frost nova to be able to play this without dying.
I can't understand how anyone can rate it anything other than meta-defining.
7 mana "do nothing" and rely on having all the important minions still in your deck and the additional ability to draw them reliably while at the same time having the tools to not die at that point? I really can't understand how this is not meta-defining either. ;P
Seriously this isLady in White all over again, this card is so terribad, im not sure to vote simply bad or Dust it.
I cant even think of a situation were this card is good, even if you discover this with glyph, you spend 1 turn casting glyph and 1 turn playing this while doing nothing while hoping you draw some high cost cards. I would pick fireball or frostbolt over this hot garbage.
This will see no play for sure, but keep your dreams alive ^^
There might be a reasonable deck where this card works, but it's way less obvious that this is good than most people seem to think.
Off the top of my head, it should only work well in a freeze mage-ish deck where you include Malygos, Archmage Antonidas and Alexstrasza (which equals 75% chance of reducing at least one of them to 1 mana and basically OTK). The problem is that you can't really get away with a 7 mana do nothing, especially not without Ice Block.
I honestly don't think this card is going to work out in standard.
to all those saying that its meh because you need to draw it (besides that you could say the same for every deck. e.g shudderwock) there are ways to make it easier 2x raven callers 2x grand archivist 2x baleful banker? (to shuffle in minions so they have another chance to become 1) it means you might only be able to run that 1 spell but at least it increases your odds. yseras,lich kings etc with faceless (maybe even cubes/umbra) can be win condition
Requires you to draw/discover this before Tony Im thinking Arcane Dynamo, Primordial Glyph, possibly even Baleful Banker to put Tony back into the deck if you drew him first.
Ok...this card isnt meta defining...playeble/very good it is...just because: you need to have combo in deck..and if you dont have this card in mulligan you wanna draw it but with draw mechanic you will draw your combo peaces...7 mana do nothing is biiig tempo lose..yes you can shuffle minions back in the deck but you will need again more draw to redraw them...in wild this is bad, but in standard is good... Dont understand so much hype about it...how many times in wild druid finished quest before turn 8 and still didnt have a chance vs aggro decks or control decks with dirty rat, deathlord, gnomeferatu and now it will be demonic project too... In wild this is unplayable...mill rogue will just overdraw you and warlock will just kill your combo..and aggro will kill you by turn 5 (looking at zoolock with new legendary spell)
Even though the card has some potential, it's insanely overrated. In most games you just won't get away with paying 7 mana for nothing.
It doesn't combo well with Aluneth because you are: 1. Spending two turns doing nothing; 2. Going to overdraw. You put a ton of expensive minions into your deck to combo with this card, remember? Well, you will inevitably draw several of them before turn 7, and they will be clogging your hand.
There is a card though that wasn't mentioned before and that could make this one playable. It's Arcane Tyrant. 7 mana 4/4 or 8/8 that makes minions in your entire deck cost (1) for the cost of 2-3 cards is going to bearable more often than not.
Arcane Dynamo could help pulling this off before the important low cost minions are drawn
But yeah, this and Mecha'thun and Aluneth could be a decent combo. Could. Probably not :)

If you play primarily on NA, but also on EU, then maybe you are interested in cross-server trading? Whenever I get the 80g quest on NA I would love to give it away and get it on EU in return. If you'd like a long-lasting trade routine, drop me a message here on hearthpwn!

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Top deck is cheat

this card itself is strong but not at broken level
However,because Raven Familiar and Primordial Glyph exists i can already imagine people will make a thousand salt posts about this
edit : also a new "fuck wild" card
Grand Archivist is probably the way to go. Very limiting to your deck as a mage though.
Very interesting with Raven Familiar, but warrior and priest have 9 cost legendary spells... Maybe you wont pull this all the time
WOW! Turn 10: Alexstrasza+Malygos + 2 Fireball = 22 dmg
RIP Quest Priest!! Actually Only Druid and Warrior can counter this.
7 Mana trap all the Timmys at Hearthpwn.com....

please see The video about this new card and support him,thanks。hope we can see more good video about hs
to all those saying that its meh because you need to draw it (besides that you could say the same for every deck. e.g shudderwock)
there are ways to make it easier
2x raven callers
2x grand archivist
2x baleful banker? (to shuffle in minions so they have another chance to become 1)
it means you might only be able to run that 1 spell but at least it increases your odds.
yseras,lich kings etc with faceless (maybe even cubes/umbra) can be win condition
I can see how much Blizzard dislikes OTKs....
Right! Forgot about that :D

This is not gonna work.
Meta will be so fast this expansion, there is no time for a Turn 7 do nothing.
And what does priest get? an all 1/1 board sh!t legendary spell for 9 mana!
Holy..... :O :O :O
Well... the card is not the legendary spell I was waiting for for mage... But the reveal video is GODLIKE.
Arcane Dynamo could help pulling this off before the important low cost minions are drawn
