What's interesting is that you *could* just use this for value. If Tony is the only minion in your hand, copy him just in case the first one gets polymorphed. Not a great thing to construct, but the card isn't useless if you get it off random generation.
3 mana draw arcane giant .
not the best spell out there if you ask me .
It could be interpreted that you play this spell, it copies the minion that it says, the spell card becomes the minion and it's treated as a normal minion that you would play ergo the minion goes to the field. Wording is utter bull... manure but since it doesn't say hand or board it could be interpreted both ways.
Not sure about the card effect, but that art is gorgeous.
So what happens if you have two minions in hand that share the lowest cost? Which one do you get? RNG I guess?
You should get which ever minion you had in your hand first, or if the two came into your hand at once(both same cost minions) it'll probably be the left most minion since that's considered the older of the two. It's like getaway kodo when your opponent plays AOE to clear your entire board. Which ever minion was played first is saved by getaway kodo.
Most likely, it will be based on the order they were drawn.
Arcane Giant value?
if it copy it to your hand or to the field makes a big difference. Im guessing its to your hand tho
Powerful in wild reno mage (Copy Reno Jackson, Kazakus & Inkmaster Solia)
aside from the fact that this card does nothing to the board when played/ is an anti-tempo play.
I also would point out that almost any minion would be far worse if it costs 3 extra mana to play (even though the extra 3 mana is front loaded)
this only has potential in combo wombo decks and even then i doubt the success rate of a combo that required this card to work
we'll see maybe some crazy combo deck will happen but for 1 extra mana molten reflection seems so much better
Well it's a value card with combo potential so it's good in control/Reno/combo decks. The fact it doesn't provide tempo doesn't make it bad in any way :)
Not overpowering and very situational card. Maybe useful in control matchups in wild. But I would not craft this and the other 8 mana epic spell.
It looks like Quest Mage just got buffed and faster to play
in Quest Mague copy a easy Sorcerer's Apprentice and +1 to quest ^^
Read the quest
... Maybe Mague and Rouge's quests play differently than Mage and Rogue's ones ? ^^
The Gnomeferatu nerf that we all expected.
Giant mage is back? Also, In quest mage, you can put one of this card to copy a Sorcerer if people play Dirty Rat a lot.
This has to be hands down the worst worded card in Hearthstone. It should read "Add a copy of the lowest cost minion in your hand to your hand". I don't know why it doesn't it would be much simpler.
