2xLeyline Manipulator to reduce to (1) the cost of Time Warp. Then summon Dragoncaller Alanna, Time Warp and otk!!
Wow this is op. elemental mage is gonna be busted
The dream: Primordial Glyph => Receive Pyroblast => Leyline Manipulator
= 6 mana Pyroblast straight outta Compton
lol
I'm kinda hesitant to call it op. I mean, Rogue got Ethereal Peddler, which is almost the same (except of course without the sick combo potential) and that doesn't see play despite a lot of Rogue decks running 3-5 Burgle effects.
So, if you want to get creative, this could be useful for either an OTK/super fireball mage, without the quest. The idea is this: You take the exodia combo, (Using two simulacra and at least one molten reflection) and two of these.
So, you Simulacrum 2 Sorcerer's Apprentices (Nothing special). Then you drop this guy. Now, you have 2 SA's for free. So, if you take them, and drop them with Archmage Antonidas (A 7-mana minion), you're at 3 mana. Then, you just use two Molten Reflections/a Molten Reflection and a sorcerer's apprentice. You now have the full 4 cost reductions, and a guaranteed Fireball in hand to start the chain. No quest required.
Now, this deck has about 9 cards allocated to the OTK. That's not the best number, although you don't actually need all of them, like how OTK Worgen tended to pack spares, when it was a thing. On the upside, it only requires one legendary, and you don't have to build your whole deck around a quest, this leaves you free to run something else (like the potentially up and coming elemental mage)
Alternately, augment your existing quest-mage deck with this OTK. That way, you can use your quest either for the OTK (2tk, technically), or get out of a sticky spot if you don't have the combo yet, and still have a chance to bring the game back with this.
I'd call this a card with potential, but I don't know enough about quest mage to say whether it'll really be viable in game.
Those good old times when Chillwind Yeti was a good card...
nice one
This is a great card, but the people worried about it making freeze/exodia stronger I don't think need to worry; those mages are not interested in having stuff on the board - they wanna (1) draw cards, (2) survive/stall, (3) do combo, and this technically doesn't do any of those things. Insofar as doing a combo that kills people, sorcerers apprentice is cheaper and guaranteed to work with stuff you DID put in your deck, which is pretty important for combo style decks. I think they're trying to push a more tempo-oriented or at least minion-based quest mage, but maybe I'm missing a particular line of play with it.
You are absolutely right. As a scumbag quest mage player i can say that this card is horrible for efficient combo, but ill at leadt try this new elemental quest mage that blizzard seems to be pushing with mage spellstone and this
New Totem Golem
Not even close.
How loevely, quest mage still in the meta. Now even stronger. Thank you blizzard for providing interactive gameplay and fun tactics.
Solitaire is fun. So fun!
Vanilla stats for a powerful effect for a class that can destroy you from their hand? Get ready for 6 mana Pyroblasts guys
Should have been a 4/4 or a 3/5, or even a 3/4. Premium stats along with a cost reduction effect looks pretty busted. Will see lots of play in Constructed.
So powerful. Chillwind Yeti plus elemental tag, plus freaking good effect. So many possible uses. OTK enabler, great for tempo. Absolutely meta defining
Well if this card doesn't single handedly create another Mage OTK deck I'd be surprised
6 spells for 6 or less i think that is prity good deal for playing elemental mage does the elemental what cost 0 if you play 5 mana spell count the cost before or after the cost reduce?
