    Dragon mage already works now add a card that is both early removal and replaces itself.. 

    Well seeing as mage is none exist ant in ladder both before and after wild tomb event it could use a little bit of power..

    More fuel for Chenvaala and Mana Cyclone.

    Luckily this can only target minions, but as we all know Mage loves these 1 mana discover spell effects so I would be very surprised if this doesn't see play. Seems like another very powerful card, even without the discover its still 'fine' just to act as a cheap spell activator for your other cards such as the ones mentioned above.

    Idk. Don't think It'll see much play outside of Generated-by-Effects. Also, not really a Card that you want from Tortollan Pilgrim.

    Good for tempo mage only if somehow they decide to include dragons, which I think work better in a more expensive, maybe highlander deck.

    More fuel for spell cycling! The dragon requirement kind of stifles it a bit, but at least there is no mana limit to what spells you can discover, unlike Magic Trick

    Well it's over

    The efficiency is what we should expect, the cost makes it good for combos, and the upside does what Mage wants to do in decks that want cheap spells. Will it be good enough to put Dragons in Cheap Spell Mage decks? Dunno. Will it be good enough for Dragon Reno? Probably. Dragon Mage? Almost definitely.

    This is pretty sweet, any card that gains you another card is worth considering. 

    1 mana to add a random mage spell to your hand is a card, this discovers the spell and deals 2 damage (which isn't insignificant).

    This card is an auto-include in any mage deck that has dragons, but is it enough to justify making a dragon deck? If nothing else, mage will want to make a dragon deck to take advantage of Malygos, Aspect of Magic. I think this card will see play, and it is pretty powerful for 1 mana.

    There are not many 2 health dangerous minions this doesn't kill much, doesn't stall edwin, you have to cut frost bolt or ray of frost for this unless you are running bunch of small spells. Its ok in control meta but don't think will see play that much

    I don't feel like Mage needed a card like this, I almost would have preferred a more midrange style spell, but that's not what we got. This is obviously powerful and if you can figure out how to play Dragons and Mana Cyclone together this is going to be very strong in that style deck.

    1 mana deal 2 damage has always been good enough to see some play and this can also discover another spell. It easily fits in the dragon mage package with Azure Explorer, Dragoncaster, Firetree Witchdoctor, Kalecgos and Malygos, Aspect of Magic.

    More dragons? Yes please!

    Since they're pushing the cheap spell theme with dragonmage, suddenly Azure Explorer isn't looking as bad as it did initially. It's no Flamewaker in terms of power, but it does sorta fit that role while enabling dragon synergies. I don't think Mana Cyclone and Chenvaala are enough to make the archetype work.

    Love how this works really well with Azure Explorer. I feel like Magic Trick is alittle bit better for the Chenvaala deck tho. Due to being more consistant.

    Cheap spell generation that inflicts an acceptable amount of damage for 1-mana. Mage is a pretty easy place to fit some Dragons IIRC; seems like a fine card. Good, but not OP.

    A good option for a dragon mage. And a nice cheap spell for decks with Mana Cyclone and Chenvaala. It'll not fit in any mage deck, but i'm sure it'll find a spot for itself in mage decks. A strong card overall.

    This card is not bad, but i don't think is that strong. Will maybe see play in a highlander mage deck, unless the dragons played there will be so few that most of the time people will start cutting it.

    Not the strongest breath, but maybe the reason is because highlander mage seems to already have a lot of strong cards

    This card is very strong, borderline OP. Works great in potential Dragon Shaman, but isn't bad in Cyclone Mage either due the cheapness of the spell.

    Yeah, this card seems almost deceptively awesome. It's so cheap and so simple, but some of the very best cards in the game fit that description (Town Crier anyone?). So yeah, I see no world in which this fails to have a deck that wants it

    So, Mana Cyclone is a card. As is Ray of Frost and Magic Trick. And all these cards will stay in standart for 1 more year. Yeah, I'm puting my money on Sorcerer's Apprentice being rotated or nerfed between this dragon expansion and the next one.

    Value and damage in one card is always good, probably an auto-include in dragon mage decks. I'm not so sure about cyclone decks though, that depends if they will have ano room for dragons.

    They really are afraid of giving mage cheap face spells didn't they ?

    I agree with them even though it is opposite to mage's class identity but would love them if they build one or two cards for an expansion to stay in standard for a year so we are able to play some Malygos Mages.

    Ok card in dragon decks, also even ok without dragons tho. 2 dmg for 1 is ok-ish effect.

    Fun and interactive game.
