    I can't help by feel that this is practically Dragged Below pre-nerf. So weak it'll never see any real competitive play if it weren't for the fact that its generating you skeletons.

    Perhaps having a two 2/2s on board and 4 armor makes it slightly more bearable than 4 mana dragged below, but we'll have to see. That 4 armor was contrived in, Im sure, precisely because team5 is aware that 4 mana 4/4s aren't exactly winning material. Perhaps that is what will make this card more than it looks.

    It's sufficient enough I'd say, not too powerful. Although, playing this on curve after Nightcloak Sanctum does seem quite nasty.

    Sounds decent. Mage appreciates life gain and Skeleton Mage looks to be a control deck with a combo finish so this would probably be good.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Looks alright. Would probably suck if they were just vanilla 2/2s.

    taking up a valuable 4 slot.  I'm not sold.  I get that it is intended to help the archetype... but I don't see it being viable outside of the meme deck

    This seems pretty good for multiple types of mage decks. First of all the Volatile Skeleton deck will obviously include it, but i think some slower/control mage decks will also use it because it's "life gain", which mage often lacks and it summons 2 Volatile Skeleton which fight for board and have that deathrattle that is pretty usefull for dealing with the board. (And sometimes some face dmg.)

    Also it's a frost spell, which means it has synergy with the freeze mage stuff from the barrens mini-set.

    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 is a really great defensive spell for mage, one they sorely need. The 2 Volatile Skeletons will definitely be useful coz most of the time, you'd be playing this spell in that dedicated deck. Still a good spell to generate randomly though

    Adding defense to an archetype that already seems very scary? Four armor, 4 face damage and 4/4 worth of stats? That seems to want 4 stars, so that's what I'll give it.

    I'm mixed feeling on this one - on one hand, for (4) mana it does a lot of various effect (4 armor, 4/4 board + 4 dmg), but on the other, there is better turn 4 play than this - will it even make the cut?

    Seems pretty good, might even be good enough to be run in decks that don't go all in on Skeletons.

    For 4 mana is a very powerful card even on decks that aren't skeleton based.

    It's an offensive and deffensive cards at the same time

    A great tool for both defense and offense. Will probably see play in most Mage decks, even the ones that don't rely on the skeletons as a finisher.
