Note it can get more then 1 spell back
With SP synergy such as Emissary it’s better than Flamestrike. You guaranteed get an Overkill on your own 2/1 and normally getting another 2-4 minions on top.
So basically it’s a Flamestrike with text “ Deal 4 damage to all minions and Put 2-6 random Mage spells into your hand”.
Blast Wave alone can create a whole new Archtype or revive an old one like Casino Mage. The spell generation potential is very high, Blast Wave will be even more nuts in Wild like Reno Mage.
Actually it's put 1-10 Mage spells to your hand
This card is nuts
This stands a good chance of being played in Big Spell Mage because right now the earliest board clear is Dragon's Fury and you don't always draw it. I'll definitely try at least one copy until see how it stacks up to the meta and if it needs too much support to wish about it.
If token style decks like Odd Pally are popular, it's obviously insane. Notably, it also nicely synergizes with Dragon's Fury, unlike Volcanic Potion, and buffs up your Dragoncaller Alana in the process. In some respects, the higher cost is a benefit for big spell mage. In all other circumstances this is obviously pretty weak. You want your board clears to clear the board, not hurt a few things and generate card advantage when you're about to die.
Kinda quest mage random spell generator ?
Could be good combo with Leyline Manipulator.
i dont get why this got so many downvotes. it's the truth... it's just a very expensive volcanic potion. sure there is some additional value attached to it but who the f*** needs value plays in an aggro matchup where you got like 2 more turns to live?
Lol this is very very similar to the card I made for the Overkill Card Creation contest.
Maybe something for a more controlish odd mage since they lack board clears!? IDK
lack board clears like flamestrike and dragons fury?
or were u being sarcastic sorry
Dragon's fury is shit since you can't use big spells except flamestrike and most decks include 3 and 1 cost spells. That's why I said more controlish odd mage.
Friend or foe, a kill is a kill
You're hilarious, who writes your jokes? Kappa
This will be really strong against paladins - furthermore if you add spell damage it will be really good.
I can see this being played atleast as a one off.
There are cards that you can't play, though that's situational. For example: Snowfury Giant if you get it as a Druid.
Is it one random spell for EACH overkilled minion? Sounds far
Indeed... very farfetched to overkill at least one minion on 5 mana... unless you play it against odd paladin, then you might actually mill a card...
Worst case is 5 mana consecration which is almost playable, upside is pretty strong and it combos greatly with thalnos and kobold geomancer
