This should have been a neutral card.
Looks like enraged Baron Geddon :)
5 mana 5/5 draw a card. extremely powerful card, will see play in any elemental mage deck. elemental mage might still end up t2, but this card and the others revealed might push it over
I see this as a solid addition to elemental mage. Since it doesn't affect the board state with a battlecry or deathrattle, its an Azure Drake (at best) for elemental. It could help push elemental into the Tier 2 category, but elemental still needs more board interaction imo to compete with current Tier 1 decks.
most affected decks are big priest dude paly and secret mage in T1 . changes in meta will be happening soon
Where is the new card?
This just might be the best expansion for elementals yet! Almost all elemental cards are still in rotation, this card is great! And the elemental decks has great synergy with the "draw minions" cards Archmage Arugal and Book of Specters. There are just so many cards to chose from to make this archetype viable.
We even got Nightmare Amalgam on 3 adding to Tar Creeper making the synergy required 4 drops much easier to play on curve. (Steam Surger and Tol'vir Stoneshaper) and that's a bigger deal than you might think since what makes elementals good is playing 1 every single turn while not falling behind on board, putting boardclears in a deck messes with that. Meaning you NEED efficient on curve plays while never running out or cards.
And seeing as there are almost no new 1-drops comming out it looks like aggressive decks loose a lot of power with the rotation so it just might be possible for this deck to compete with the likes of the new (and hopefully slower) dude paladin. :D
Seems like after the rotations and the witchwood expansion, elemental zoo mage (perhaps with odd/even attempts) will be viable for mage players (standard). We might see some big spell mage, but it wont be as strong as it is right now, and (imo.) its the weakest version of the mage for now. (I wish good luck to the people, who would try quest mage without Ice Block )
OTK exodia elemental quest mage is also viable for this really help full card as glyphs , ruby spellstone and cauldron are your best spell generating spells.

I’m liking this minion mage push by blizzard. It’ll be a nice change of pace for mage. with Ice Block out of the picture Let;s hope mage will still be Fun to play and Fun to play with
but still baku cube warlock is the most meta defining in this new expansion .
3 decks building
odd cubelock .
odd elemental mage.

Why would you give up the death knight and the spell stone for a slightly improved default hero power?
and defile, hellfire, mountain giants...
why shaman are not reciving any elemental synergie cards ? only mage -_-
Pretty unrelevant anyway. Can't remember the last time I played vs an elemental deck.
as shaman now synergies for the new hero agatha and the frogs not to mention voodoo doll and the cauldron + board presence is really important for shamans to control turn 4-7
There are 5 unrevealed cards for shaman currently. I would like to see more elementals, but i would like to see at least one good archetype that is fun and competitive in standard from the cards we have not seen yet.. I did not like how blizzard introduced a new archetype, freeze shaman and completely abandon it. So hopefully these unrevealed cards make shaman playable. \
Possible decks:
Big shaman, totem shaman, elemental shaman, freeze shaman. I just want one that works please.
Bcz blizzard fcked up with shaman. No murloc sinergy (quest), no freeze sinergy (kft) and now "spell" shaman? They jst don't know what to do with shaman.
