Give this a body, and we could have talked about it, like the old Secret Paladin.. but being just a spell, it's so underwhelming.. and the casting cost is just madness to even think about playing this.
Nerfs random mage spell effects and adds to the pool of secret mage. I like it.
This card will probably not be good enough unless more proactive mage secrets are printed. However, it might have some application some day in a freeze combo decks to both thin out the deck and prolong the game.
I dont think it will be played in constructed unless I have tonnes of secrets in my deck because I will always have quite a number of draw mechanics from Arcanologist, Arcane Intellect, Bloodmage, Acolyte of Pain. By the time I play this spell from my hand, I wonder I will have already played some secrets or drawn some from my deck
Secretard is back again, Glyph to Mysteries lol
Why hello again, Amaz! Look mom, I'm on twitch :D

its pretty similar to lay on hands as it will often draw you 3 secrets and will heal you by 8 or more with ice barrier
also mage secrets are much better than paladin secrets and there is much more reason to want them in your deck.
I think people are judging this card too fast (although it IS a nerf to discovers)
*Laughs in mysterious challenging manner*
Next year Hunters will rejoice as they get the same card but because their secrets cost 2 the card will cost 7 and play a 1/1 troll thats not a beast.
This is gonna be bad to get of Cabalist's Tome, Babbling Book, Shimmering Tempest.
Thats the point, mage in arena has run rampant for far too long
Players: - What is this shit?
Blizzard: - None of your business!
HAHAHAHAHA
Mysterious challenger + secret mage = nonononononononononononononononononono no
When you enter late game, you would have already drawn your secret from Arcanologist. Even if you are playing a Secret Mage deck, you need secrets early on in the game to Medivh's Valet. Another example would be Kabal Crystal Runner . Sooner you play these cards, more tempo you have. With [card]Glacial Mysteries[/card] you'll need to NOT draw your secrets (at least another copy of it) until turn 8 to gain some value.
you play the deck with as many secrets as you can afford and this becomes a card that removes 1-5 cards from your deck, helping you draw the good cards.
this is why myserious challenger was good, its not so much about the secret, its about the draw
The 2 mana difference and lack of 6/6 body makes this card way worse IMO. In Pali, drawing a couple of your secrets was not terrible because: a) you could play them for 1 mana and b) Mysterious Challenger was still a 6/6 body. This does absolutely nothing on the late game and you cannot play it until turn 8...
4 mana 7/9 trolden highlight incoming
If you have "Play 10 secrets quest" play this card at turn 8 and concede.
you're not playing the secrets, you're putting them into play, it also dosent increase your spellcount
