I wouldn't compare it to Flamewaker. Dealing only 1 damage is a lot worse than dealing 2, whether it's minions-restricted or not. Stats are not worth it either.
It's not "bad", but nowhere near strong enough to make me go crazy.
The question is what does this even do vs slower decks. It puts Zero pressure on HP. Control Decks can Just ignore it. If Meta is realy Board Aggro token heavy this card shines. Maybe it will fade in and out depending on meta
Like, this minion deals 1 damage to a random enemy minion. Unlike Flamewaker it can't hit the enemy's face and it does far less damage. Imagine how there is a 3 health minion on the opponent's board. You need to cast 3 whole spells to kill it, which just seems super weak. It's nowhere near as powerful as the aforementioned mage card.
Only hit minions is a bonus and not a downside most of the time, how many times you want to kill a huffer with flameswalker and all hits go in the hunter's face...
2 damage for spell in a 2 cost minion and tempo mage will be Tier S in Standard.
This is what Flamewaker would look like after an encounter with Blizzard's nerf-to-oblivion bat. You might call it a Flame-weaker.
I think a lot of people overestimate that card based on distant memories of Casino Mage (which was at best a tier 2 deck anyway). Only dealing 1 damage per spell instead of 2 is a big deal, and this card cannot even hit the face. Probably won't work out.

I would have agreed if the frog dealt 2 damage per spell. Or was a 1-drop.
I like Flamewalker so much, that I am definitely going to try this Frog. Too bad it's just 1dmg (I would prefer 2dmg, but with 1 "magic dart").

Kinda knifejuggler for spells. But extremely bad stats. Might not be good enough
I would not be surprised to see a Lackey performing that service for you in a later expansion.

Thank you fourtydust.
See others have (potential) solutions as well.

a cheaper "worse" Flamewaker is still good enough, its cheap enough for big board clear swings on turn 5-6 most times.

It's not bad, but it's considerably weaker than both Flamewaker and Knife Juggler. It's playable but not great.
Oh, Lethal - where did you go? I miss you all the time.

Well holy shit this is a very good card. Mage is going to be way more fun this year. Mini Flamewaker, but it is also a beast which is a cherry on top.
I, honestly, prefer Mana Addict over this card in tempo decks.
imagine wild with 2 of those and 2 flamewakers on the field
Dust this card, it's worse than mana wyrm...
A balanced flamwalker, should see play.

Decent tempo card.
Believe in potential; the multiverse blesses some beings with extraordinary traits, with the potential to do—to be—great things.

If there's a reliable way to give this Poisonous, it will be very good, otherwise an unplayable card that's not worth the slot.
@goofychris Hunter can not discover it, cause it‘s not a hunter card (or a neutral)
Yeah I know. Unfortunately I found out after posting. Turns out doing research before posting is a better idea.
