In general, Stargazer Luna seems like a really fun card. The stats are very reasonable for 3 mana, so similar to Electra Stormsurge it doesn't need to have a super powerful effect to make it worthwhile in a lot of decks. Asking players to think about the order of cards in their hand and potentially making them play certain cards because they're expensive and recent draws adds complexity to the game without being overbearing. She may not be a powerful minion, but I like the design a lot.
This could honestly be pretty good, small spell mage! Apprentice+this and you can cast a lot of spells. Add in an emperor T in wild you can start your turn by casting that combo for 3 mana and discounted spells. With wild you also have ice lance. Not too consistent because it relies on a single legend but still doable.
It would work as you think. Once you use an Echo card (regardless of where it is in hand), it'll appear on the right-most position in your hand. Each echo will draw a card :)
Luna draws a card AFTER the card is played, so it's not clear which effect will trigger first just from the text. You'd have to test with another effect that triggers after a card like Wild Pyromancer with an Echo spell to see for sure which effect triggers first.
Eh, with Aluneth, doesn't seem like card draw is aggro's big issue. And for other types of mage decks, my guess it's going to be too inconsistent to get value off of her. Unless we have a new archetype of "small spell mage" coming in this expansion or something.

Look. That's the crap legendary I'll get for free.

Why is this a legendary?
Super Cheap Gadgetzan Auctioneer!
So ... the card was revealed in a new blog post, but what is this? Fix your links Blizz :)
Should have posted that on the Blizzard forums then, if you're addressing them.^^
I believe i was not first to notice and it is fixed now :) So, good on them ;-)
She casts Arcane Missiles, then Deck of Wonders, which transforms the chicken into a Mech before casting Pyroblast.
That's a new spell being hinted at I guess, something which gives minions the Mech tag or transforms them into Robot Chickens
Could be, nice catch :)
Commenting on this for later so I can commend you for being 100% correct in the future.
This player-designed card received low marks due to implausibility.
/satire
It says AFTER so I believe echo happens first so echo wont work
How does Echo work here ...

Does this mean.... Aggro meta incoming???

Will see no play.
Thats why I mentioned the expansion cycle. It won't be in this one but I think they're building up to it.
