However, one thing that I see most people agree on is that his hero power is... lacking, to say the least.
Don't know about that, I definitely use ping a lot playing highlander mage. And also the thing is: to complete quest Raid the Sky Temple you need to play 10 spells and highlander mage runs like 12 and 4 spell generators (maly/kaly/2/2/arcane breath). So basically you don't complete it till turn 10 in most cases. And there we have it:
1) You don't want to lose a card on your mulligan
2) Deck poorly synergies with quest (most of the spells are big and don't generate more)
3) Quest reward is not good enough, in some cases you don't even want to replace ping for random spell (for 2 mana)
It would be an ok addition to the deck if it was "discover a spell" I guess, but since it's random spell it's just trash tier honestly.
Yeah, same. Connection issues occur constantly after last patch on my ipad. Waiting for big patch in the middle of the month that they were talking before.
Blizzard making sure that DH will be at least tier 2 with such cards. I'm kinda hyped for the DH but also a bit scared..
