Should have been 5 random secrets for 8.
2 words for ya. Dust it.
Until u play it (turn 8 if u have a chance) u will be dead or not enough secrets left in your deck and most likely ur opponent will prepare cheap minion and spell after he figures out that you have secrets deck.
"Who am I? None of your business!"
-Mysterious Challenger
In all seriousness this card is terribad
Well, unless Mage gets their own Dead Man's Hand or multiple strong secrets this will not see any play. 8 mana means you're at least 11 cards into your deck. Since you will also be playing Arcanologist, you will likely be half way through on average. For this card to be anywhere near playable, it would need 4 secrets. To get those 4 consistently enough, about a third of the deck would need to be DIFFERENT secrets. Yeah, try to make that happen.
It's bad.
people are obviously making the mysterious challenger comparison and saying "well of course mysterious challenger was a stronger card, paladin secrets are individually weaker"
yes, but mage secrets aren't so much stronger that they not only need to sacrifice a 6/6 minion for them but also 2 more mana
there's literally no reason this spell needs to cost 8 mana
I dont know... ppl comparing this to challenger have to realise
1) he was cheaper
2) he had 6/6 body (!!!!)
3) Paly secrets cooperate, mage? not rly... (make smth 1/1 and then copy it... no thx..)
Secret mage? MY BODY IS READY
Extremly powerfull...draw equals about 1.5 mana... secret costs 3. So if you put 6 secrets in play you get 27 mana and pay 8... your deck even with 3 you get tempo and thin your deck out.
Hmm interesting card. I wonder if this would be run in Freeze mage as a one of (thus the name "glacial"). 8 mana to pull 3 secrets and thin out your deck at the same time.
Maybe new secret?
Seems awesome! Here's the catch... By the time you get to turn 8, you most likely either played the majority of your secrets OR they are in your hand. I really don't think this will work...
Good idea tho, maybe make it a 6 cost...
Although people are comparing this to challenger, this isn't even close to challenger as the power level of cloaked huntress is lol. Mage just has a few useful secrets in standard that you'd like to run and they don't synergise with each other,unlike paladin 's secrets. Don't forget that challenger presented a 6/6 body on the board for 6 mana and that meant that the effect was basically free. This is for 8 mana and presents no tempo or body on the board.
people underestimate this card, previous cards that bring out one or more cards from the deck became strong and defined the meta big time, i see that this is an 8 cost card but forget about tempo for a second, think about control, and use 1 of the strongest secrets (maybe 2 ice blocks)
It CAN be powerful enough
Eater of Secrets is already in the meta. If this card makes it to the meta Eater of Secrets would destroy it. This card alone is probably the hardcounter to never get this card into meta.
Also getting all secrets at once is actually bad. What are you gonna do? Turn a 2 mana minion into sheep and copy the sheep?
you don't have to run every secret in a deck
This proves secret pally was op as fuck. 6/6 + secrets for 6 mana
Don't forget that pally secrets cost 1 mana each. And the only good secret at the time was Avenge.
