Hearthstone Rank Mage Spells

Mage vs Mage

  • Unstable Portal (played by opponent) did not trigger my Counterspell Secret

  • (I do not know card name nor could I find, sorry) It is the minion: pick a spell, if opponent guesses your pick, they receive a copy. The minion description is female, red velvet with gold stars at bottom. When this card was played, my opponent received his spell, but then it triggered my Explosive Ruins. I did not receive chance to guess which card opponent picked.

Thank you.

The second one is not a bug. In order for you to choose the spell, the minion must survive to your turn, which it did not.

No idea about the first one.

I do not think that is right. It does not say ‘on your opponent’s turn’ it is all contained within the same text. IDK. I’m just getting frustrated,……with the OP cards and the inconsistencies within the game.

Rare · Minion · Murder at Castle Nathria · Battlecry: Discover a spell. If your opponent guesses your choice, they get a copy.

It doesn’t say that the minion needs to survive for the opponent to get their guess, but that is how it works.

Then I would call that a bug or technically not correct text.

It’s because the explanation is not in the text. It’s on the card itself when it’s in play. Watch the card carefully the next time you see it. It will have the same three star symbol that cards with Frenzy or Spellburst have before they’re proc’d. THAT is where the effect is. Therefore it’s tied to the minion. And then watch after you make your guess, the symbol disappears, just like a Frenzy or Spellburst, as if it had been proc’d. It’s all there.
