Mana Reservoir is an excelent minion for any class can make a good use of spell damage, the only one better is Thalnos, x2 in all my rogue decks, I think is massively underrated.
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.
So now, that we are all convinced, that this minion is weak, I have a small question - would the frog have been broken, if it cost 1 mana? I mean, tempo mage needs more 1-drops after losing Mana Wyrm, so why not?
I think it would have been fine at 1 mana. I can't believe they didn't at least make it a 1-4 or 2-3 with such a mediocre effect.
Tempo mage deck need desesperately a good 1 mana minion, but they nerfed the only one mage have and don't see any problem warrior have 2 and because of this the deck is hard countered by any half-assed warrior build.

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.

As a tempo mage fan I really like this expansion.
