New Mage Minion - Haleh, Matron Protectorate

You know what, I like it. Sure, it's basically just a worse Mozaki and I sincerely doubt that  it's going to be anywhere close to playable especially after Flow and Biscuit rotates but come on...it looks like an absolute blast to meme with. Just play some Spell Mage with lots of draw and spell generaation, try to get Siphon Mana off and then use this to just go ham in the lategame.

Its a card you play because you want to play this, not because its inherently good on its own. Mozaki, Master Duelist does the job a 100 times better and with Cram Session, it can even reload out of a small hand so you're not altogether screwed based on your hand size.

This card however, is 100% setup or die. Basically it has about as much chance to live a turn as an ice cube down a hot pavement, so when this is out you're either swinging board or outright winning. Not exactly impossible to accomplish, but often enough mage has plenty other stuff that accomplishes the same thing with more consistency.

Dont even bother talking about wild. In what world is this ever going to compare favorably with Flamewaker?

You can cheat it out with Shadow Hunter Vol'jin pre- and post rotation, so OTK mage can survive the rotation as long as it gets new mana cheat. (Pls no) Pre rotation i feel like its just a worse Mozaki, Master Duelist, but post rotation it can really pop off which i sincerely hope it does not. Even as a OTK kinda card, i feel like mage questline + Ignite will just do the same thing, but faster after rotation...

However there is always the chance they DON'T print any OTK support for it, and instead try to make players use Haleh, Matron Protectorate as some kind of late game control tool, kinda like how priest got Mi'da, Pure Light. (Which is how i hope Haleh, Matron Protectorate will see play.)

One thing to note however is that you can discover these from Drakefire Amulet, and after rotation i feel like you probably have a pretty big chance of discovering Haleh, Matron Protectorate from it. So that's something we should keep in mind. 

In wild it just seems bad, Mozaki, Master Duelist and Flamewaker do it's job better. AND on top of that, with Sorcerer's Apprentice being nuked, you need way more mana cost reductions in order to do a Haleh, Matron Protectorate OTK. Sure there is Frizz Kindleroost, but even then you have to draw/play frizz before drawing Haleh AND have 10 mana so you can play sorcerer's. (Or 8 mana after a additional Emperor tick) Or you have to discount it to 1 using Luna's Pocket Galaxy, which yet again relies on you not drawing Haleh...

Oh yea, now I know what Drakefire Amulet was for.

If you're able to cheat this out and have mana to spare... this will make most people really hate seeing someone play Mage.  I can only imagine what kind of shenanigans will be played with Wild

Well.... seems not that good at first but if you can set this up with 0 Mana Spells this could get out of hand ... i could see this working even tough my first thoughts are the exact opposite :) 

I kinda like it ... even tough the art is kinda pixely ... 

Pretty expensive, meaning there won't be much mana to spare to get the effect, but perhaps with 12 health it can survive 1 more turn and you can dump a few spells.
