The card malygos lock was needing!

I kid.  Terrible in constructed,terrible in arena.  Chaff.

I'm going to be up all night trying to figure out a way to get this card to breathe some life into Ancient Mage.

the problem is that hearthstone only have 9 minions with Spell damage... and only 2 see play.

http://www.hearthpwn.com/cards/minion?display=1&filter-spelldamage=1&filter-token=0

but 130+ cards... if they add at least more 5 minions.. maybe

 

You forgot about Ancient Mage. So every minion can have spell damage :)

A fantastic card with strong stats that doesn't belong in any current aggro deck. Very cool design, excited to try it out!

Expect to see at least one new card with spell damage.

pretty interesting mechanic. hopefully there will be more minions with spell damage/ ways to add spell damage!

like Volcanic Drake, flip the stats and you got a really good card.  As is, probably not strong/consistent enough to see play in constructed.   Decent for arena though if you happen to draft a few sp creatures.

This card obviously sucks, but you can find people to defend anything I guess.

Uhm... No, it doesn't. a 4/2 body isn't even that bad for a 3 mana card. It's just 1 health below the standard. Obviously there are better cards to play, but if u have a deck with a lot of spell damage, then this card is excellent. The only problem is that no competitive decks exist that try to use as much spellpower as possible. Maybe in the future though.

You're just wrong, the standard for a 3 drop is 7 points worth of stats, so you're already behind 1 point, so the way you have to read this card is +1 Attack /+2 HP if you have a Spellpower and suddenly this card is even less interesting than it appears.

10 stats for 3 mana is insane, even though the distribution isn't perfect. It's a huge threat on the board when you can play it on turn 3 with the effect. I don't see why you say it's bad. Yes, it isn't great, but it certainly isn't bad either.

It isn't great = It won't be played = it's bad.

There is a a lot of cards that aren't "great" that see play now because they synergize well in the decks they are in.  

This is not the kind of synergy you're looking for, Spell Damage minions, the ones that are played are played because they are good, you're not going to play more Spell Damage minions to make this mediocre card work.

This depends entirely on what other cards we get really, doesn't it.  At the moment, with what we have, you are pretty much correct.  This point is one I made earlier.  I am willing to experiment though.  

You can say this about anything, all I can consider right now is the information in front of me, could one day  Thrallmar Farseer control be a deck, sure doesn't mean it's worth discussing.

What is and is not worth discussing is completely subjective.  Also, you are here discussing it right now so.....yeah.  Also I don't mean some far off day way in the future, I mean until what else we see out of this expansion.  So if you wish to stop discussing it, then stop I guess.  No one here will seriously mind if you wish to abstain.  I get it.  You don't find it interesting and that is cool, but telling other people that the card they are discussing isn't worth discussing and hence discussing the card is waaaay more counter productive than just discussing the card.

Dalaran mage might even be usable with this card.

ogre magi comes good too, as it was almost viable before gvg and piloted shredder.

This is actually a really nice card to introduce into the game.  Spellpower minions were a bit underpowered, but now with the new card that changes hero powers into spells and this card here, there might be a viable deck.  Probably not, but hey, still a cool card. 

So Spider Tank's 3/4 stats are amazing, but Master of Ceremonies 6/4 stats are garbage. Makes sense. Kappa

Where the hell are the paladins cards? Did they removed the class?

Watch, they'll announce that Paladin is replaced with Death Knight which is basically Paladin, but with Death kKnight theme.

I'm not telling anyone to do anything, it's all opinion based, though that doesn't mean some opinion aren't less right than others. Nothing right now gives us any reason to believe this card would be viable, do you know how you create synergy with Spellpower minions, give incentives for playing spells, most Spell Power minions have low stats for their cost if you don't capitalize off the actual Spell Power then there's not actual reason for playing these minions. The two most played Azure Drake and Bloodmage are played most commonly in rogue the deck that requires and benefits from spell damage the most. This card is not something that syncs up at all with the benefits of playing Spell Power minions and that besides the abysmal benefit you actually get for playing it is why it's not good. Maylgos? are you kidding me, if you're playing Malygos your intention is to kill your opponent with Spells, not play slightly above average minions. 

Quote from Harrison_Jones jump

Not bad. It's actually useable unlike Demonfuse. Lol.

Velen's Chosen? Azure Drake? Hmm...

Can't see priest running this, they have so many 3-drops as is. Even Dark Cultist is barely seeing play.

All in all, this looks like a shaman card to me, since Azure Drake is a staple for them, and they have the easiest access to spell damage via their Hero Power.

This card actually excites me a little more than most of the previous ones. I've always felt like +spell damage is an ability that has a lot of potential but has been overlooked because those cards don't usually fit into any of the viable deck archatypes (aside from Thalnos). My only gripe though is the 4hp. People don't really want more atk, they want more hp and we already have the 3/4 Spider Tank. So it's hard for me to imagine people will be willing to jump through hoops for a situational 6/4 with no tribe when there's a 3/4 with tribe and no drawback.

I'm ok with this card, but I'm still waiting to see something that will make me glad I pre-ordered the 50pk. Because right now to be honest, I'm getting disturbed that I may have spent my money a little too quickly.

Spider Tanks stats really aren't amazing anymore.  They're the new baseline for 3 drops.  This card has a horrendous activation mechanic and the dream scenario for this card isn't even that good because of its 4 health.

Until Blizzard mechanically changes Hearthstone outside of adding new cards, cards with good baseline stats that always have an immediate effect or synergy will be taken over pile-of-stat cards like this with crap activations and no immediate effects.

Feel like this won't see much play when looking at Blood Knight which hardly sees any play even though it has better stats and can get rid of your opponent's divine shields.
