Fun. But only for one player. Or another.
I know im gonna get super pissed because of this, and mage will have to watch the rope as im gonna rage quit.
This is Solarian Prime without the body. Is Solarian good? General consensus seems to be that it is but I had mixed results with it at best. However, this is a spell with lots of new ways to cheat out so I think it will be fun. If Mage can survive until that late to cast this, of course.
I'm just gonna assume this can't cast any 0-mana spells at all, otherwise we'll be waiting till Christmas until this stops casting stuff.
And will this cast even non-target spells, of which there are about half (secrets) ?
Well it does say "at enemies" and you can't really cast secrets at enemies, can you? So probably only targetable spells.
Neverending Yogg-fucking-Saron.
I really don't understand many new cards. They are simply a reprint of old cards. This is a worst in potential but more controlled Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron. Anyway, the card is more or less the same. I would like to see new things, not reprints. We already had tons of these cards neutral or for mage:
And now this card. Can we also see something new?
Flurry should have a high chance of being cast at 0 mana, probably multiple times (especially after rotation) and it won't affect the amount of spells cast with this.
The dream in Wild: Cast this, which then casts Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron, which then casts Rune of the Archmage.
Puzzle box can’t be cast ‘at enemies’ so I doubt that would work, but who knows Blizzard spaghettis.
THIS is the big spell we have been waiting for.
God this is good. If it were just random,’it would be ehh. But enemy priority makes this CRAZY. This card puts big spell mage on the map now.
Thank fuck Arcanist Dawngrasp was nerfed
They wont be played in the same deck, though.
Big spell mage is actively crippled by playing quest and cheap spells, and quest mage doesnt go to turn 9 without being on massive ignites by now.
Can Rune of the archmage cast Rune of the Archmage? Lol
I'd honestly say probably not given the text. It says "at enemies", so I'm assuming it has to be a spell which targets something as opposed to an AOE or something like this.
If there are no minions on the board, this will only cast spells that go face? So strictly more reliable than Solarian Prime.
Already more reliable since it won’t target your minions.
Could it cast itself though?
Because Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron can't, most likely no.
