Seems reasonable in a hawk deck or as tech against odd paladin. Probably not that great overall unless you really need to stack pings, and I don't think you're going to need to do that.
It's not your hero power also"damages", it's "targets". Logically it should work. Even the fact that, the crappy card even exists in the deck, points out it should've worked. Whalen didn't say a word about it not working btw maybe he was kinda surprised.
That's a 4 mana Shooting Star right there. That can be cast twice but is not affected by Spell Damage. Pretty awful.
Also didn't work with Ice Walker on the stream. It was funny how the streamers thought it would freeze all minions but it didn't... Might be a bug though.
I just hope Baku mage does not become the dominant mage deck on the ladder :(.

Ice Walker says that it freezes the target. Since only one minion is actually targeted, only the center one is frozen. Meanwhile, Frost Lich Jaina and Pyromaniac only require you to get kills with the hero power.
It's weird and a bit unintuitive, but it's 100% consistent with the card text.

It's not, because the text on the Spirit says "your hero power also TARGETS adjacent minions"
I believe that the intention of the interaction with Ice Walker was to have it freeze all three minions. Why else would it be in the deck and why would Peter Walen a Lead Dev say it would work that way. My guess is it is bugged. I hope they patch it before release.

Seems like a really good card really, mage had a lot of trouble against tokeny boards
Potentially good with the dk, but I don't think BSM needs this card. It already deals well against minion based decks.
0 imagination = "oh no aggroz"
Funnily enough, this card would be so much better if it cost 1 more mana.
Shooting Star but with an extra step. I do wish this was a 3 cost card because then it could benefit from odd mage synergy.
Icewalker interaction:
Bug or intended? I think it was a bug, since we even saw that it worked with frost lich jaina, i don't understand why it wouldn't work with icewalker
Those who are given more in life, must not cling to it, but risk it all at every moment!
Neat card. Turns a normal hero power into Shooting Star and then can get buffed on top of that.

Ready for action
not sure this really does anything useful
I'm with ya.
Why wasn't it working with ice walker? It should right?

An overall very nice card. Especially vs zoo.

This card is meta defining because it can keep token Paladin and token druid out of the Meta.
It also helps that you get 2 turns with Shooting star if you do this on turn 4, then on turn 5.
