Elemental Mage incoming?

Chill-o-matic gives more support to Mech Mage. Literally, just a better Snow Chugger. Don’t know if Mech Mage will see a resurgence, but this card on Mecha-Shark seems really annoying.
Aqua Archivist has a good ability if you’re running a lot of Elementals.
Unchained Guardian provides draw to Elemental Mage decks. Even drawing 2 makes this pretty good, which seems easy enough to do. Until I see a more defined win condition with the Elemental package, I’m going to remain skeptical. There might be some Mage decks that include this card along the Elementals that already see play for extra draw.
I am so exited elemental mage was my faveroute mage i am definatly playing this too.
Aqua Archivist is an absolutely insane card for any elemental deck. Could even be used in an arcane burn mage to set up a Vellaxus turn, because it carries over.
Unchained Gladiator is also easy draw for a deck that is given many cheap elementals, especially with Synchronize.
Chillomatic is a mech, it will go into mech mage.
All that said, weve already seen that mage is getting the multiple spell type archetype and Im assuming the rest of the new cards will be focused on those.
EDIT: And apparently they were revealed an hour early and they are multiple spell school support
I won’t play mech mage, but if ele mage makes a comeback, count me in.

Chill-o-matic: Weak, even in Mech mage.
Aqua Archivist: It will be good if there will be more Elemental support on the rest of the cards.
Unchained Gladiator: Worst case scenario, 4 mana 4/4 draw a card. Looks really strong if the rest will support the archetype as well.
I kinda hope it does, Elemental Mage makes sense flavor wise. But this just 2 elementals, it’s not enough yet.

I am really surprised. You can basically bank that discount and guarantee Vaxallus for 3 mana. That is going to be an insane burst turn with the two extra mana to play with. Might even reduce the time needed to pull off the burst with early elemental chip damage.
Overall and amazing card to have for a deck type that just needed the right card to push it.

100% burn mage otk just became much, much stronger. Arcane bolts and Vex for cheap is extremely scary.

dont know yet but magnetizing a shark with it to freeze anything it damages each time i summon a mech seems useful

Yeah, thats what I thought of when I saw this. Max potential of +8 spell damage is scary as hell.
Probably don’t even need Vexallus, because he would make the combo require more cards for it. Just Sif + Arcane Bolts might be more optimal/consistent deck.
Sif definitely is scary. And the “Menagerie” cards for Mage are pretty strong.
Might be the best Mage deck next expansion.

I guess you can do Vexallus, aegwynn, magisters apprentice on turn 10 and fling as many 0 mana 10 damage arcane bolt as you can fit in your hand. Seems more of a gimmick than a viable game plan though
