feels to me like it should have somehow been a warrior card...
elemental mage is going to be so OP.
after the rotation maybe, but now there are decks who outvalue it too much
I came, I saw, then I came.
Well, this is a very promising card. Firstly, it's an elemental, which means that it synergizes with your average elemental mage. That's a good start by itself, and might (?) even help make Ozruk useful by adding more, useful 1-drop elementals.
Secondly, it's a 1-drop, which means that it's at least affordable,
Third, and probably my favorite is the fact that it gives mages another way to heal, especially elemental mages who needed to get some much value out of Jaina's passive; And this is a cheap way, that takes advantage of mechanics that they'd already been using. That's a pretty good setup, right there. Suppose you play this with just a fireball. That's 4 healing, for a 1-mana card, and unlike iron hide, it's A. Ongoing, if they can't kill it, and B. isn't limited can go above 5, even on the turn it was played, and C. It's a minion, so even in the worst case, it's at least got stats.
Basically, this is a tough-looking card. I expect face decks to get salty (Also me, sometimes, when I'm trying to stretch myself to the lethal, but mostly face decks)
I like this card. Seems pretty balanced and powerful enough to support elemental mage and maybe control mage. Summon 5-cost minion+7 armo+deal 5dmg on turn 8 seems pretty tasty. Also it have "taunt" effect, so opponent must clear it on his turn, so this minion have additional "heal 2+" I like it.
That is some healing. They are setting up that Ice Block to rotation, maybe.
So mage can essential pull off a double Holy Fire if they manage to combo this with a Pyroblast.
And if it was a 10/10 and drew 10 Cards too, it would be a double Ultimate Infestation....?
No, it doesn't summon anything and will suicide mill you.
So mages now have a heal other than that secret? Damn...
this is actually just really bad. you don't really care about the body because mages doesn't have any buffs to make this card. i don't think you'll run this in a midrange elemental mage because not only do they not play flamestrike, they don't want to run firelands portals because they want to play blazecallers. Even if you were to put this in a control mage deck and you get to combo this with flamestrike, how much mana worth of value did you get from this? only 2 mana worth of value (Healing touch heals 6) AFTER turn 7. yes it could stick around, but thats wishful thinking. This would only see play indirectly through Servant of Kalimos which could help in those aggro matchups but thats about it.
I'm glad to see elemental mage is getting love in the next expansion. Love the concept but unfortunately so far it haven't been competitive enough.
midrange elemental mage is more likely to be a meta deck that elemental shaman would ever be because mages have arcane intellect which really helps chain the requirement that much easier.
Seeing this card and Lesser Ruby Spellstone revealed, I'm looking forward to trying Elemental Mage in KaC.
The Mage DK might become a must craft if that happens.
This card just transforms Firelands Portal into almost Ultimate Infestation, love it ♥
Ridiculous for expedia mage, Ice Block must be hall of famed now.
Mana Wyrm is a 1-Drop, this is a 1 mana utility minion. They don't compete for the same card slot.
imagine this card like earthen scales for mage that stays on board and must be removed
