It can only hit minions it's both a blessing and a curse.. I mean sometimes you really want to kill their minions unless vs control.. there this card is not great.. but saw this card in action on stream it was kidna MEH tbh it took his whole hand to clear an average board.
This is not close to Flamewaker level (which is not a good card in Wild.) 1 mana Mana Wyrm was a very important wingman for him, it would be good in standard but still not enough to break odd-mage as the options for synergy spells would be so limited.
1-3s for 2+ are bad, unless they are great value or card creators like Netherspite Historian and Acolyte of Pain. A conditional 1 damage to a random enemy minion? Who are we kidding here? I read waste 3 spells and make a dent in a Twilight Drake...
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.
All this Flamewaker talk is irrelevant. This meta will be nothing like the Blackrock meta.
In the Year of the Dragon, Mage has access to tons of cheap, flexible spells and staggering amounts of spell generation.
And don't forget that in many cases, you absolutely did not want Flamewaker to hit face; you wanted it to clear minions. This little guy will never miss those minions.

Flamewaker without steroids, should be still quite good in tempo mage, Flamewaker was broken.
Flamewaker PTSD NotLikeThis
It’s nowhere near the power level of flamewaker.
Step1. Give mage news cheap spells
Step2. Give mage new spell damage minions & spell-triggered effects
Step3. ???
Step4. Tempo Mage is back

Balanced Flamewaker, funny how also fits in shaman, class which probably was the idea for team5 to include in
As a tempo mage fan I really like this expansion.

This + Flamewaker in Wild... brb must call my therapist.
Is the card art based on the old zuma game, frog shooting marbles but now random damage.
It's not as powerful as Flamewaker, but, on the other hand, Flamewaker never shared standard with Stargazer Luna.
Am I the only one, who rated it "dust"?

Now mage has its own knife juggler, isn't it cute and deadly.
What happens if you give it poisonous?

The question is - HOW will you give it poisonous as a mage?
I don't know, I am sure someone will figure it out.
I am the one asking questions here.

It seems to be a beast. Hunter can discover it then let the shenanigans begin. That's my answer, what have you come up with?
