    I like that it deals damage and essentially replaces itself with another spell.

    Here's the face damage replacement, with the added bonus of spell discovery. 

    At this point I have spent too much money on these games to quit. 

    Now pass me another pack, and lets see what I pull.

    Just a really good card. Works as burn too, so maybe Spell Damage mage isn't entirely fucked.

     

    Btw is anyone else confused by how little Spell School support we got this expansion? I guess it's an ongoing theme but I expected at least something with Arcane Spell Damage

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    REALLY good card, it's kind of a mix between Frostbolt and Magic Trick (okay you could also call it "Arcane Breath that goes FACE")

    Mage actually needed a cheap Discover card, because Magic Trick and Arcane Breath are rotating, so my Casino mage heart love this. Still WILD Casino mage probably won't use it, because we have Primordial Glyph. But who knows, random is random so you never know! :)

    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.

    This seems good. I mean its a more consistent arcane breath but it costs 1 more mana. I think that given the need for cheap removal in mage this will certainly see use.

    Nobody ever really played Frostbolt for the freezing anyway. This deals -1 damage but it gives you a whole new spell to cast, which is huge.

    I was a little worried about losing Magic Trick -- that card has been hugely important in so many ways. Without it, Arcane Luminary was going to be iffy, but now I think it might find a home.

    It does something definite and gives you an option for a better turn later.

    The only downside to this card is that puzzlebox would be rotating. But otherwise its flexibility will allow it to see play in many mage decks around.

    This is Arcane Breath for one more mana, but no dragon restriction and can go face. Arcane Breath was a powerful and versatile card, and I think a one mana tax for more flexibility won't hurt Runed Orb's chances of competitive viability.

    Considering the lack of other options given to mage, adding to the fact that it "replaces" itself, I'm guessing that only the advent of a much more powerful new tool would phase Runed Orb out of virtually every single mage deck.

    More Casino Mage options. I think it will see play.

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

    The damage isn't anything exciting but discovering another spell will probably make it good enough to be included in most Mage decks.

    I think this will see a lot of use. A solid 2 mana spell with a discover. I like it.

    Pretty solid. 1 mana more expensive than arcane breath, but also without the precondition. Will probably see a lot of play, but won't be broken

    Deal damage, Discover card. I don't know if I want to include this card in burn-type of decks but I would love to discover it.

    As others have said, good low-cost damage spell to replace the loss of something like Frostbolt in that slot. The Discover more than makes up for the lower damage in my opinion - but then I do love my random Mage cards.

    Good spell.  2 damage and discover value.

    Can hit face. Replenishes a card. Combos with quest mage. Overall a good card.

    Can this discover itself?  Because if so, throw down a couple Sorcerer's Apprentices and you've got yourself a turn 4 OTK, even if statistically it's basically impossible, even in a trolden video.
