even heard of the Mage, quest?, sinergy, or Hydrologist?
Yes, yes it did,, now go to your craddle brat, and let the veterans play, it's way past your bed time.
Well, thanks for the clarification . I do agree with you partially . The card was never meant for tempo decks .
But having early tempo is such in important thing that every single deck not matter how control/combo oriented needs to consider , otherwise it just loses most of the games before it gets a chance to do anything . So, in a way, every deck needs tempo .
Look at unnerfed quest rogue . On paper it was the most insane deck in the world , breaking every non aggro deck into pieces , but the complete luck of early tempo kept it's win rate below 50 percent most of the time .
Just great. Freeze Mage got even MORE annoying.
Not freeze mage. Freeze mage cant afford to run a 4mana 2-6. But it might make it into tempo mage.
I think this is pretty good, sure mirror image isn't run anywhere but nor are paladin secrets and Hydrologist is OP.
What you are missing is a 2 2 for 2 mana is not bad stats these days and on top of that hydro can be buffed by murloc lovers .
This card has pretty poor stats for mana and no additional effect or tag except for that poor battlecry .
If Un'Goro has taught us anything in Arena it's that cards that generate other cards is OP as shit and it wins games. 70/100 card. Am hoping after 2 years Team 5 has learned something and they don't continue to stack Mage and Rogue, being a couple cards in it ain't looking good.
Arena is not the main mode of the game and nobody is going to design cards with arena in mind.
Do you really think they only care about people who play ranked? (I assume the main mode you're talking about is ranked). I think you're completely wrong. One of the reasons that make it so difficult to design cards in Hearthstone is that they have to fit in every single game mode. When designing brawls the approach is the opposite, because rules change every week and it is the brawl that has to fit given all existing Hearthstone cards (even wild ones). But of course you won't see a card that is fantastic when played in ranked but has the potential to destroy the other game modes. The only reason cards like that could exist (and exist/have existed) is because they weren't cappable of predicting it, not because they didn't care about "secondary" (for you) game modes.
Great card if it had Taunt. It would be mage's tortollans (the 4 mana 2/6 from Priest). Missed chance.
Miracle mage incoming Kappa.
Hm but nope won't use it, though it's a good cheap spell for quest, mirror image is too slow from turn 5 (or 4 with coin), and it's only defensive with little tempo
Antonidas :aha!
Mirror Images were being played only in hyper-agressive snowball type of Tempo Mage, where it was being used to defend your valuable 1-2-drops from early-game trades and weapons. Having this spell bound to the 4-drop is counter-productive to that style. We have a spiritual successor of that deck in the form of Secret Mage now, but it works very differently and has almost no use for cheap spells. Also deck is pretty tight and has no space for whatever 4-drop, there is even no Water Elementals in it and its perfectly stated card plus overall stronger than this one. In arena its not bad, nor good - stats for 4-drop are mediocre, but not terrible and 0-2 taunts can be useful in a lot of marginal situations, but for the most part they will not be.
Seems like a defense mechanism against aggro decks.
Weak but durable with Mirror Image in your hand
this seem like a very solid card. The 4th mana slot for mage is a flexible mana slot. This is awesome for quest mage!!!
