Hydrologist gives a one mana secret vs a three mana secret here for one more, so technically this card is better value wise. However, its less flexible than hydrologist.
Yes, but Hydrologist plays Paladin's secrets, which cost 1. This card plays Mage's secrets, which cost 3 mana, so you're playing a 2/2 minion and a 3 cost spells, paying 4 mana. 1 mana more than playing the Hydrologist and the secret, for a secret that costs 2 more. (So, it's 1 mana cheaper, technically)
planning to get these on my rush control mage but still lacks
Spells 2x counter spell .
almost all rush minions.
x2 doomed apprentice + x2nerubian unraveler + loath web if get from toki lol
Oddly, a card that will get less powerful the more expansions there are. The mage secrets are currently pretty powerful in standard. Some of the least powerful are cycling out (although Potion of Polymorph would have been a great choice against Cubelock). If they have 'filler' secrets this will be worse.
In Wild it can pull Iceblock I guess, but not as powerful as running specific secrets with Mad Scientist.
Seems very solid for secret mage considering that they don't play anything at 4 mana with the exception of Fireball (or discounted Cabal Crystal Runner). Its not enough to save secret mage after the rotation though.
Top secret kek
So, for 4 mana its "draw a secret and play it" with a 2/2 body.
Wow. Tempo Mage looking to hold up even after the rotation.
Not quite. It's not technically draw a secret to thin the deck, it's discover. So more like, "discover a 3 mana secret and play it, with a 2/2 body for 4 mana." Still has good value but it's not thinning the deck.
Like a Mad Scientist that triggers immediately instead of on delay and saves you a deck spot at the cost of 2 more mana. In Wild, it's a similar trap to Mad Scientist in Secret Mage, as you actually want to play your secrets yourself for Kabal Crystal Runner discounts and want them to be online at the right time for your Medivh's Valets, but it does substitute for the lack of spells in a Book of Spectres minion Mage. However, the main issue of that deck IMO will be utter lack of boardclear substitutes, since Mage doesn't have Kalimos and Elemental Shaman was never forced to avoid using spells in the first place. Don't think a full minion Mage is going to happen for that reason, but I'm sure some sort of hybrid might happen. I just don't think it has a high enough demand for a card such as this. Might be your card 29-30 similar to what Kabal Courier was in Reno decks.
Obviously for even mage sense they can't run secrets.
Insane value
*rolls eyes*
and there I was getting excited Secret Mage was going to disappear. This is going to be a very annoying card to play against. Just seeing it is somewhat jarring.
but now its never ice block or polymorph.
thankfully mage loses ice block to wild. think i would have uninstalled after seeing this if it wasn't.
Discover already means it's only mage. It doesn't say "random" so it's only mage.
ALL the discovery effects are limited to the player's class.
You can't DISCOVER other class cards except the card specified that DISCOVER from other class, like Hallucination.
This card just like Hydrologist can only DISCOVER Paladin's secret, This card can only DISCOVER mage secret.
Moar face damage for tempo mage, how nice.
Given that hydrologist saw play despite no paladin secrets being good enough for a deck slot, and this being 1 mana cheaper than using hydrologist to discover and play a mage secret, I feel very confident this will see play
in wild : Look, another two Ice Block !
