Mojo Master Zihi is the only example I can find for breaking your opponents mana crystals. Does anyone know how the game treats overloaded crystals from Shaman with respect to breaking them? Does the overload stay or go away? If overload shaman is a dominant deck then maybe this could be a good tech card.
The natural follow up to Lorekeeper Polkelt. Do druid combo decks even want this in standard? This combo might work in Quest druid to get to the more impactful cards like Cenarius or Hidden Oasis or something we haven't seen yet, but I remain skeptical.
I understand the change. I will miss it off of Stonehill Defender though. Sometimes you got 2 crappy options and you could 'reroll' for better options. Oh well. Also a nerf to Yogg. I would purposefully put spells that could roll into themselves and other spells to get that 30+ Spell RNG fiesta!
I grade my Schoolomancy packs a C. I would say it was average. 6 legendaries out of 132 packs = 22 packs per legendary (about average); 38 epics out of 132 packs = 3.47 packs per epic (excellent). The 5 golden packs contained 18 commons, 6 rares, 1 epic, 0 legendaries (average).
The great: The epic count was great and I got most of what i wanted here. Free golden Legendary High Abbess Alura
The good: Instructor Fireheart, Jandice Barov (I like this kind of RNG), and free regular legendary [Hearthstone Card (Dr. Krastinov) Not Found]
The meh: The golden packs (I wasn't expecting a legendary, but was certainly hoping for another epic), the legendary rate, Speaker Gidra, and the other free golden legendary Turalyon, the Tenured.
The bad: Lord Barov, and [Hearthstone Card (Infiltrtor Lilian) Not Found] ( I don't think these cards will ever be good)
The ugly: Archwitch Willow, only getting 4 out of 9 legendaries I really wanted, and the real stinger; no neutral Leagendaries (ouch)!
If the opponent can actually kill this minion nine times, shouldn't they just win the game via exodia for the achievement? I will immediately concede if any one does it against my Rattlegore without silences or transforms.
The card itself isn't good obviously, but the mana pools for summoning random minions just keeps getting more insane. We have seen creative expansions in the past but nothing like this!
On par with Twilight Guardian. That card only requires you to hold a dragon though instead of committing more resources to it. Priest will want this card if more copies of it can be spawned. Otherwise, I think it will be mediocre.
If this card existed 2 years ago, it probably would have been beyond busted. Amazing how times have changed. It is still very good, but there is still a lot AOE, summons, and random removal that will keep this card in check. Look for this card to get a lot better at the next rotation when there is a smaller card pool.
Just to clarify, this does trigger if your opponent doesn't play any cards, right? I am not sure if that is inconsistent with other secrets or not because usually if the reward isn't able to trigger, the secret stays dormant.
Anyway I think this will see play in any rogue deck that needs some card advantage. The only problem is most rogue decks aren't looking for more card advantage. Maybe in a burgle rogue, but aside from that I don't think it is worth it.
My guess is it works like Competitive Spirit. The opponent would have to play at least play 1 card to activate it otherwise it seems useless. I'm not sure though.
Considering how dirty the togwaggle combo in druid is, I think there is going to be some Temporus shenanigans with this one. I just don't know what it looks like yet.
Gross! Between this and Tour Guide, Exodia Paladin in wild could be even more reliable and frustrating to play against. Good spellburst activator as well.
Pack-filler/ Arena Card. Even in handbuff decks, there are better options. I can't imagine a deck that will ever use this in constructed. It feels like one of those cards like Dr. Boom's Scheme where they wanted to do something interesting but ran out of time.
This has to be the weakest of all Dual class cards. Fine for Shaman, but useless for mage. This could have been a shaman card exclusively. A true waste of dual class card.

Warlock will enjoy this card along with Howlfiend. It is too slow to be really impactful against combo decks though.

One step closer to the 30 Rager card deck. At some point we need a legendary Rager!

That moment when you cast Divine Spirit on it and it casts Shadow Word: Pain on itself! Really cool art though!

There has to be a way in wild where this card goes from an 8 drop on the board then to 7 and a 6 all the way down to 0 right!?

I will definitely try this in Elemental Mage and Shaman with DK Jaina and Kalimos.
Hunter will enjoy this more than most classes. Beast and miniquest synergy.
Too awkward when big taunts are on the board. I don't think the deck will be fast enough to avoid them.
