Probably the best card of the set so far.
This card is insane in Standard like you pay 4 Mana for a 2/2 minion which not only Draws you a Secret(through Discover which is worth 1 Mana) but also puts it into play (3 Mana worth) so is basically a 0 mana 2/2.
The only really big downside is the fact that Potion of Polymorph rotates out so will just be bad vs Warlocks (god tier if poly was still in Standard).
1 mana 2/2 + 3 mana secret (and discover, most likely you'll get what you need), if it was a Rogue card, it'd have been a 5 mana card "because it's 2 thing in 1 card"
Don't forget combo because reasons
If it were a Rogue card, it would have been a 5 mana 1/3 weapon.
Very, very, very strong card.
no spells in the new mage you say? not a problem here you go.... Arcane Keysmith try playing it with Archmage Arugal fun right?
Discover is a key word. It doesn't need to say discover "mage secret" becouse discover always means u can choose between cards from your own class and you can actually read it in the discription of this key word. Seriously dude, this keywrod is in the game since when? 2 years?
lol ye i realized it was discover and fixed the comment :)
I think this is below average, I don't know why everyone one is going crazy about it. Mage secrets have never been played in a aggro/tempo oriented deck unless you can play them for free, because their effect is too low impact for the 3-mana you have to pay, the tempo-loss is too big.
Having it attached with a 1 mana 2/2 is like paying the full 3-mana. A 2/2 on turn 4 is really really weak stat-line.
Maybe if the elemental/minion based deck that we are expecting to become a new archetype is oriented toward value with Servant of Kalimos/books of specter etc and not as a tempo deck I could see this fit into the deck. But I doubt it. And I mean even so, a secret + a 2/2 is not incredible at all, I'd rather play something like Kabal Courrier.
the good thing about this card is the versatility, you discover the secret out of 3 and put in play what you need depending on situation basicly its much better then just running a 3 mana secret that you can never alter depending on situation the 2/2 body is a bonus on that , primordial gliypth is BROKEN it would still see play if it only reduced the cost by 1 instead of 2
And how often do you take Ice barrier/ frozen clones/ mana bind/ spellbender/ vaporize from your Glyph ? 90% of the time if a secret mage is playing a secret from glyph it will be Explosive or counterspell. Something Mirror entity.
But then again, secrets are much better when : you play it for free / you can activated medivh's valet / you discount your 5/5s. This card does nothing of this, it's just a secret alone with no synergy. And the 2/2 body is not a "bonus", you pay mana for it. It would be bonus if the card costed 3-mana.
Comparing it to glyph is stupid man. Secrets are picked from glyph only if it's counterspell/explosive or if you can discount your 5/5 with it, or activate valet, or if it's the only way to boost your Wyrm for a trade. This card doens't even boost your wyrm.
No it's just terrible, I'll never want to play a 2/2 on 4 to get a "random" secret.
The card has a great effect for the mana cost: a 2/2 is about 1 mana worth, discover a card about 1,5 mana, playing a secret for free (which doesn't cost you a card) 3 Mana --> about 5,5 Mana of value for 4 Mana is great.
The card card will not be the next "uber card", but it is for sure a very good card.
I really don't think this is a very good card, and I'd be really surprise to see this being played in any competitive deck without more secret synergy. And even so, I don't think you would include this in secret mage if you could today, even with all the secret synergy this deck has.
Fuck this card.
"Fuck Wild!"
