LOL! Compare this to the Paladin secret:
Hidden Wisdom
This has potential against control decks and in freeze mages
Don't mind the older comments, this card is absurdly powerful in Wild, as it replaces Arcane Intellect and makes Secret Mage OP against slower control decks.
I can see this is very powerful, but I'm not 100% sure this makes it in wild secret mage. It probably replaces arcane intellect but you still want to play counterspell, flameward and explosive runes before this. Secret mage is so effective because you apply pressure while blocking the opponent from doing much. This secret does not prevent the opponent from doing anything.
Arcane Intellect doesn't stop the opponent from doing anything either. In fact it has great lateral synergy with Flame Ward, as an opponent with a 3 health board will have to make the very difficult decision of triggering either secret
Except arcane intellect gives you cards RIGHT NOW. This only gives you cards MAYBE next turn.
meanwhile in wild
Either play around Flame Ward, Duplicate, or this. You can't do everything. And you always lose.
Ok, actually I always lose against Secret Mage because of their unreal ability to always topdeck Cloud Prince and Fireball as soon as they run out of cards and reach 5 or 6 mana.
I don't even mind Secret Mage that much, I just have horrible luck whenever I play against them.
Or kabal lackey
Please don't push freeze mage. I understand this is very hard to pull off, but not against all classes. Freeze mage could be an oppressive menace
The game has finally evolved to the point where it can be damn hard to know what secrets to play around (esp. in Wild). While frustrating sometimes, I think that's good for the game.
I like it, it fits perfectly in my highlander deck, it was disastrous to expect it to touch my intellect as the only draw card
The best mage secret in the standard right now (in wild too, after Ice Block). It could fit literally into any archetype
Seems pretty good. Triggers like next turn against anything slower and still at some point against a faster deck. Unless we have a full-aggro meta, this could definitely see some play.
who think this is OP... relax, schoolboys
1. you don't draw after playing this
2. you spend 3 mana for nothing
3. you can never draw
and all this for extra card from arcane intellect
I strongly agree. 3 mana - maybe draw 3 is weak
Mage has better card draws.
It’s an extra draw card for highlander decks for example. Freeze effects and AoE can “ensure” the trigger
I think people did not actually read the card. It says, you draw if you don't take damage during your opponent's turn. Against aggro where you want the card draw (to draw ur answers), they always have at least one dmg from hero powers, charge, lepen gnomes, weapons or spells. Against control its easier to pull off with a freezing spell on the board, but do you really need the card draw against control where fatigue battle is what matters in many cases? I think the card is quite terrible and won;t work in any mode except arena.
I think that this can be op in a proactive secret mage like we have in wild. You can play it on first turns with kabal lackey and you can start snow-balling your opponent.
Ofc against a faster aggro deck this card can be useless if they get board control.
Anyway other then secret mage for wild i dont think this is worth to be played in any other arcetype , specially a control mage where you are alwys beihnd on the board most of the time.
this is a FREE draw 3 in secret mage (in wild) there are so much cheat out secret cards right now a secret is rarely a do nothing for 3 mana
