    So at worst this is a 4 mana arcane explosion that hits face and comes with a 3/5. I can easily see this being a solid pick, especially with fallen hero in core

    Edit: Hadn't seen the legendary but if you're running it this will definitely help make sure its online for that turn 10 swing

    I have nothing to add to this except the obvious synergy with Mordresh Fire Eye. Should see play.

    Worst case is 1-damage AoE and builds towards [Hearthstone Card (Mordesh Fire Eye) Not Found]. With Fallen Hero around, this could be a pretty nice skeleton for a package in some Control Mage.

    Given the new legendary wants you to deal 10 damage with your hero power, I think this will see play. And who knows, maybe it can be used alongside some of the other hero power synergy cards mage has in wild.

    This and Fallen Hero could easily do 10 total damage (or near enough) to power up the Legendary that we just got.

    Disclaimer: if the above is factually incorrect or complete rubbish it is definitely both intentional and  comedy genius.

    I think this is riding solely on the back of its legendary, without it, not sure it'll be enough, we will see, but 3/5 is pretty good stats, would have been incredible if it had been 3/6

    Even without any synergies I can see this as a tempo mage staple.

    It's basically [Hearthstone Card (Dragonmaw Scorcher,) Not Found] but asymmetrical AND cheaper

    And if you combine it with any hero power damage buff it becomes pretty crazy.

    Hell, mage has a very good selection of tempo based removals at this point, Tempo mage is back in business

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Reckless Apprentice looks like an auto-include in any deck trying to trigger Mordresh Fire Eye, but it may not be very good outside of that. (Frankly, it may not be that good in those decks either, since it will be pretty poor as a trigger against small boards or big minions.)

    Outside of those Mordresh decks, I can't see this showing up much. In some respects, this compares very favorably to Twilight Flamecaller, which saw some play. But a 1-damage AOE on turn 3 is way better than the same thing on turn 4. You could combine it with Fallen Hero for a worse version of Blizzard, but the freeze is much more relevant than the 2 damage, so that seems like a weak combo.

    I BET were going to see some more Fallen Hero kinda cards. I wouldn't even be surprised to see a 0 mana "your hero power deals 1 more damage this turn" spell printed. (Would be pretty safe now, considering Mana Cyclone rotates.) Reckless Apprentice without hero power boosts is also strong enough, and IT GOES FACE with the battlecry! Most people play Ras Frostwhisper just to deal 1 dmg to all enemies, and Reckless Apprentice does that for -1 mana, and isn't a legendary meaning you can include 2 copies of it. Sure Ras Frostwhisper scales with spell damage, but Reckless Apprentice has hero power synergy and it's VITAL in decks with Mordresh Fire Eye, which is Mages new "ultimate" remove (almost) everything card.

    I honestly don't see any reason why this wouldn't see play.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    Without any buffs, it's Arcane Explosion plus a 3/5 body plus a ping to the face: that's a lot of value for 4 mana. With a buff, you'll really be cooking. There will ABSOLUTELY be cards that increase HP damage to support this and Mordresh Fire Eye.

    Well so hero power mage is a real thing now. I'm super excited since its a "new" archetype. We've seen some cards with this kind of interaction before such as Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk but never that much cards for the archetype in same time. Hype !

    By itself, this card seems great.  And if it is effective in enabling the new legendary, this would be the key card in enabling a hero-power Mage.

    It's going to be very hard to get anything to stick on board against Tempo Mage, and if you do, it will probably just get frozen. (You just know they have more Frost spells to reveal!)

    Hero Power Mage. Been a while since we that archetype.

    Don't know if this is good enough as a standalone, but a must-include if you're playing the new Mage legendary. Kind of similar to Daring Fire-Eater and Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk.

    Outside of that, I wonder how this interacts with other Hero Powers.

    Certainly no more board-wide freezes, but there's plenty of room for single-target freezes.

    One could argue that they removed the AoE ones to make room for other ones.

    With proper support it swings board. Even without support that's deal 1 damage to everything. And he enables the monster that is Mordresh Fire Eye.

    Is there a reason not to play this guy?

    Very interesting. I would be shocked if this is only going to be basic hero powers as well since most times they make something that changes or empowers your heropower at the same time as printing these. That said even at the worst its a nice little aoe ping.

    Play this and Fallen Hero on a board with 4 or more enemy minions, and bam Mordresh Fire Eye is instantly ready to go. And you get a Consecration with a body.

    I really like this card. I played around with hero power mage back when I got Jan'alai, the Dragonhawkback in RR. I think this will be lots of fun to mess around with. Especially when coupled with the new legendary.

    Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.

    Interesting. If hero power Mage does come together, this and Fallen Hero might feel a bit like Control Paladin used to with Equality and Consecration. There'll have to be some draw there to glue all the pieces together.

    This seems weak, but I am very curious to see how it interacts with all of the hero powers and hero power synergy cards. I'm assuming it doesn't trigger inspire effects. Will this plus Spirit of the Dragonhawk be the slowest animation ever? Will this be crazy awesome in Duels?

    So ... Arcane Explosion on a Stick - and it also supports the other New Legendary! Pretty good!

    Obvious support for Mordresh Fire Eye, but is acutally a decent control tool on it's own. Could se play without Mordresh if the are a lot of tokens in the next meta, and Stealth Rogue will absolutely hate this.

    Awesome card with a never seen before mechanic.

    Wondering what would happen if it gets into other classes through steal effects.

    Other than that paired with Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk in a deck with Mordresh Fire Eye in wild would be really fun to play. 

    5/5

    Great support card for Mordresh Fire Eye, but might just be playable on its own. Can't wait to see the wonky stuff with Majordomo Executus.

    Even mage. Also note that it will do more damage the higher your hero power, so if it is a 3 damage fire ball, then it will do 3 damage to all enemies

    Mage achievement:  Kill 7 minions with Reckless Apprentice or Deal x amount of total damage with your hero power.  Place your bets.

    Bet placed :P

    This card could be excellent in the right deck, even if just to buff our new 10-mana Mage Legendary friend. In Wild this has the potential to be a really difficult to pull off but very satisfyingly cheeky board clear.

    created and will be played solely for Mordresh Fire Eye. thus, this is a 5 star card.

    if that legendary wouldnt exist, this would be trash.

    also I see that all these hero power mage cards are made even cost, so that wild odd mage cant play them.

    If it contributes to the 10 damage total to trigger the effect of Mordersh Fire Eye, this card is absolutely crazy good! Also in Odd Mage in wild if it helps Janalai!

    Base stats and effect underwhelming on a vacuum. The only reason to run this card is synergy with Mordresh Fire Eye. But I'm guessing it's amazing in arena, Twilight Flamecaller was pretty good in that game mode.

    Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)

    A 3/5 with built-in Arcane Explosion for 4 Mana is a pretty good deal. With spell damage even better

    Support card for Mordresh Fire Eye.

    Though to be honest, even running this as a stand alone isn't that bad. Arcane Explosion on a 4 mana 3/5 stick.

    It's a 4 mana 3/5 with an Arcane Explosion. That's pretty good. And then it also has Hero Power synergy on top of that!

    Ras Frostwhisper, Firebrand, Reckless Apprentice ...

    It's going to be very hard to get anything to stick on board against Tempo Mage, and if you do, it will probably just get frozen. (You just know they have more Frost spells to reveal!)

    I highly doubt that they removed Frost Nova and Blizzard from standard to just reveal more freezes

    Certainly no more board-wide freezes, but there's plenty of room for single-target freezes.

    One could argue that they removed the AoE ones to make room for other ones.

    Called it!

    I like the idea of Hero Power Mage, and with Wildfire and Fallen Hero, this can become an actually relevant board clear. Not sure if the deck actually is good enough, but I think that there is some potential here.

    Looks really promising. Just 1 Wildfire makes this insane and it makes activating Mordresh Fire Eye trivial.

    I mean, this card is baseline great and just gets better and better the more synergies you pile onto it. I love it, probably one of my favourite cards of the expansion.

    As good as this card is in mage, I really just want to see what happens when it ends up in another class, such as rogue, through random effects. I expect it won't do anything, but I want to try to make it happen anyway.

     

    I think this will be a decent card on its own, but I imagine this will be best when used in combination with cards that increase hero power damage and to summon the new legendary: Mordresh Fire Eye.

    This has way better stats for the cost than Twilight Flamecaller and can scale in effect. This can trigger Mordresh Fire Eye by itself. The AoE becomes really powerful if you scale up your HP with Wildfire. If HP Mage sees play, which I think it will, Reckless Apprentice will definitely see play in the archetype.

    For glory, honor, and gold!
