Ive been running 2 of these on a tempo demon hunter list, to good results, a targeted draw and summon your Battlefiend / Blazing Battlemage, also avoids wasting a Skull discount on a 1 drop

1 mana 1/3 with upsides are always problematic.

This aint the exception

as everyone said, the key is Patience, i am also in the grind to my first time legend, the no bonus star at D5 makes this a grind.

Im doing Reno mage, and currently climbing very slowly, yesterday i played like for 6 hours, i went from P2 to D5 in the first hour, then i got stuck 2 hours in D5, i got D4 3 stars, but lose 3 in a row, etc. the usual.

A legend grind looks like: after several hours of play you are just. 2 or 3 stars higher than when you started but the you need to keep grinding

Just by the release of more cards will support spell-only mage, due to more spells (and more options) being printed

A 5 mana firelands portal? Tasty enough to keep trying Spell mage work every expansion

Powerful when Dragoncaster and Tortollan can cheat it out, the "targeting" being the word Enemy makes it great with the latter 8 mana freeze enemy get a 5/5 and 2 Water Elementals

but if you cant cheat it out, then yeah, it feels bad, can insta win you the game against DH most of the time
