We need more cards like that. Really gives this game the hardcore skill-based “edge” Hearthstone lacks IMO. Preferably some sort of paywall for them too.
I’m guessing somebody just lost to Rune of the Archmage?

This is a real bad card, better than the other 10 mana clown fiesta rng mage have had in the past and even though mage can pull more than 2 in the game I understand when you lose to rng, never fun. I loathe mage rng cards except 4 prime which was nerfed and will be back to 7 mana when rotated to wild…
it gets good outcomes in standard…i dont dare to use it on wild yet
dunno, most recent memory i have of it is that it´s unable to kill an opponent from 4 health with nothing on the board.

In wild is a real bad card…
In standard i guess it should be like a prime version, prime is real good when the opp has a board.
Can’t expect miracles is rng afterall.
Talking abt miracles my prime cast 2 pyroblasts 4 lethal face damage yesterday on a wide op board in wild. I was shocked; I wanted a frost nova or some fire or frost clear.
I agree. I despise the mage slot machine cards and so did everyone when they were dominant in decks played.
Solarian is definitely my favorite if I am forced to choose.

The last 4 times I’ve seen the card played it hurt the opposing mage 3 times by overdrawing or did absolutely nothing special because it wiped my board and then cast a bunch of “deal damage to minion” and hit their own minions.
The other time it cast potion of illusion on their minions and an ignite, wildfire and some secrets which was devastating for me because they had good minions on board…but at the same time, they could have just cast that by itself for 4 mana and been set…so asking for the 9 mana card to do it randomly was a bit overkill.
Something we agree on.
I love playing mage but when I see opponents playing slot machine mage and relying on one card(sometime more) to save them from a bad situation against a wholesome mage deck like mine is never fun to watch. I usually win, but the times I lose to rng fiesta card is not fun at all. Sometimes the mage mains have great decks but for some reason they get desperate with yogg/puzzlebox to name some and usually the outcome is not good 4 them(I do emote them when it happens).
Team 5 continues to lead Mage farther into RNG it seems. I would love to see some other class be forced to rely on pure dumb luck for a change.

Or you should learn to play better to not lose to the worst class in the game.
Or have some good humor too. That also works.
It’s exactly as I predicted. I knew BSM was a joke because it’s not consistent. You can’t have consistency with “cast random” spells stuff.
Yeah rng and big spells is not what I expected for mage this expansion. Big spells yes; rng no way. Imaging giving priest rng slot machine cards and been tier 1(btw love playing priest as well)…
Also pointed the mana casted was low sometimes.
But you know people Go like…
Random Go BR…
Reality is that without alterac in rotation runes would even be decent.
But with all those big spells the card is junk because It not reaches the critical mass of random spells that puzzlebox had.
When you dealing with randoness the number of tries is far more important than How realiable they are.
to a degree.
Burgle Rogue is doing kinda fine, and highlander mage back with yog-box also worked alright.
you just need enough non-rng payoff to limit the highs and lows.
the problem of BSM is not really the RNG, it´s that there´s nothing there that is threatening the opponent at any point apart from pure luck. there´s no proper burn, only mask. the best summon are two waterelementals…and well, that´s it already for spells above 5mana doing anything to win a game.
It’s part from the whole 5+ mana theme.
If atleast the inkset was changed to use 4 mana as requirement(even If reducing the payoff to 4 mana too).
The entire thing would be better.
It actually lacks flexibility.
They will pump the deck in the miniset. trust.
Maybe with 1 card…I bet the miniset ends up pushing for some new archetype that won’t work tied around the new hero lol
You know, like something Mage should have RIGHT now lol
I don’t know about a new archetype until next full expansion, but Ill bet now they give BSM at least one tool that makes it viable, then watch the hate train for nerfs go crazy.
Then they will nerf it until its dead, then it will be time for another expansion where we will definitley see a new archetype and all of the existing decks will get shipwrecked.
