JUST a board of 5/5’s? From my experience, free 5/5’s are very good. Maybe this card isn’t as aggressive as flamewaker. With 5 health instead of 4 health, it’s so much harder to kill on turn 3. Turn 4 you can go off, and I think on turn 4 a 5/5 is better than 6 damage randomly split.
Why are you getting downvoted? It seems like this website only caters to standard players damn... you wouldn’t run this legendary over flamewaker no chance
Where does this fit then? Cyclone mage? Once flamewaker rotates out, standard mage will be a lot slower, and if you are running this and a bunch of spells, your opponent won’t have anything else to use their removal on so it’s easy to deal with. Flamewaker hitting you in the face for 10-20 or even 30 is not easy to deal with and can’t be answered with a single card.
It is good because it is an elemental and I now it is similar to dragonsoul but this is for mage!!!
Khadgar?
Elemental evocation plus chenvaala plus khadgar plus apprentice plus three 0 mana spell: OP turn five.
Dragon Soul but slightly worse is right, but since it's in mage which already has an almost functional archetype based around casting lots of small spells and getting rewarded with more spells to cast in the form of cyclone mage this card has a lot more potential than Dragon Soul ever did. DoD seems like the set where Blizz gives potentially good but ultimately unsuccessful mechanics from previous cards another chance to shine, and I'm very here for it.
I see potential here. I saw none for Dragon Soul and was proved correct. This giving you a perfectly fine body for 3 mana helps make sure this is at least a decent drop on 3, unlike Dragon Soul what often was just worthless at any time.
I think this will see play.
Is this card good? Cos Im not happy it seems like copy of former card
This card is good. Just because it has a similar effect to Dragon Soul, a Priest weapon, does not make it bad. Not need to get mad about it.
You’re thinking of Dragon Soul.
It’s very hard to say. No one can say with certainty how good it is until we can test it against everything else in the meta (obviously).
Dragon Soul was virtually unplayable, but that was a weapon (not a minion) in a very different meta with completely different cards to support it and in a different class, so it would be foolish to assume this card will be bad just because Dragon Soul didn’t work.
Whether or not this card will be deemed as good relies entirely on how good cyclone mage and/or other “small spell” mage decks turn out to be (imo). I’m not sure but if in the new expansion cyclone mage would not be good enough without this card, I don’t think this card will be enough to single-handedly make cyclone mage viable. However if cyclone mage would be pretty good regardless of this card, then I think this card would be a very strong addition to it.
Yes! DragonSoul thanks for sharing. No im not mad.. just asking if others see if it's good
I’m only a half-fortune teller. I foresee a highlight where someone summons all six of these 5/5s in one turn. I just don’t know who does it and how.
Your comment got me 10 dust. cheers mate!
It's okay well have to see if its worth it. Its going to make a huge board in Mage. Wonder if there is any combos coming
We've seen with machine gun Mage the kind of shennanigans that Mage can do with Flamewaker. I can't say if 5/5s will be equally as powerful, but satisfying the condition doesn't seem to hard to me.
The difference between this card and Dragon Soul is the types of spells Mage and Priest has in their pool. Mage can fire off all kinds of direct damage spells without any downsides while Priest has always been constrained by the buff cards and minion removal which even when they had spell reduction could never get Dragon Soul to become viable. This card is much more powerful than you think.
Mage actually can spam spells, unlike priest.
dust it
Few turns of set up and by turn 5 won't be rare to see Mage coming from an empyy board to a board with this + 2 5/5 + apprentice + mana cyclone
Can this go off more than once in a turn?
I never used the priest weapon lol
