I rather roll on glass naked.

I would love it if someone would interview the lead card design at team 5, and flatly ask why Mage has gotten saddled with this ridiculous level of probability ever since January 2020.
Demon Hunter ruined all new classes for me, the only thing good that came out of it was i realized i was judging Hunter too harshly over the years.
Hunter gave me Spell Hunter and surprisingly my 2nd favorite all time hero card after Frost Lich Jaina.
Deathstalker Rexxar forever in my Hall of Fame.

Well, that lets me out. Dawngrasp is my boy:)
I liked him as well even when he released unplayable.
Frost Lich Jaina is just impossible to top and Rexxar wont ever drop for me as well at this rate.
He is in for my last podium slot discussion but that’s not a given.

I just recently finished that one.
Demon Hunter is at 534, Druid at 815
Rest are over 1k.
Getting close to done the very long goal.
I have a bad habit of starting classes when they are in the tier 3 to 4 range though.
Too real. Also… it’s said about a lot of things and it’s just not true for most. We just don’t know the quality of card support for an archetype that will be made. Like people have been hoping for elemental mage to get some sort of massive pay off but it never really does or did (the recent push for it at least).

Well at least Naga Mage is currently meta
Makes me wanna just turn off pc and go to bed
Generating value isn’t the only variable to make a card good. Druid has a card that generate 40+ mana worth of effect, YET, it never saw play in constructed.
There are tons of minions that are insane value pile and never see play as well.
Polymorphing a 2/2 minion, doing Blizzard on a single 3/3 minion or making image mirror 3 time in a row isn’t strong. Sure, you’re ‘‘cheating a tons of mana’’, but to what use?

In the context of a card that’s doing stuff like that 6 times, when you already get a 5/5 body out of it for 6 Mana…
That is strong.
The lowest rolls this card can do place it among the best 6 cost minions ever made.
And then it can high roll…
And it’s designed in a way to high roll more often than a pure random card like prison of yogg.
If this thing did what people want it to in here, it would be in day 1 nerf territory.
Imagine how bad it would feel if your opponent played a 5/5 on 6, and then for 6 turns you can’t go wide or it will flamestrike/blizzard, can’t play 1 big thing because it will target it with frostbolt/polymorph…
It would be so, SO stupid.
As it stands, you now have to have multiple minions on board to protect your big thing from that, and you need to not go too wide or you start putting flamestrike/blizzard in the mix of spells.
For 6 turns…

While I agree the ‘‘zephrys effect’’ would probably be too good six time in a row,
I’d much rather have the durability reduced to 3, and the card give perfect answers every time than this random stuff.
5/5 body used to be what we had on 4 mana card, two years ago. the card give you a minor stalling/ clearing boost, but its really unreliable, if would be more something you play when you can afford to lose tempo to maybe generate useful effect.
Like someone said, it’s a win more card. there is no guarantee this would be better to slot over blizzard or flamestrike at the same mana cost, because those are reliable and will always clear the board / stall when needed.

There’s lots of reason to use this over a blizzard or flamestrike.
This is a tempo card. It doesn’t have a “dead” period where you are waiting for the right board state to use it.
You can drop it on everything from an empty board to a full one on a turn that you don’t have an answer.
It’s a solid card in both environments. Lots of decks run prison of yogg for lower chances at a board clear / stall with a higher cost and no body.
This card doesn’t even have to be used like that. You can play it when even on board or ahead and you now have 6 turns where it helps you hold control of the board, or you can use it when you are hopelessly behind and there’s nothing else in your hand that could possibly help. In those situations it doesn’t really matter if it misses the saving card, on average it’ll raise your deck’s win rate by a few % in those situations. A few % shift can be a tier difference for a deck.
The card is always good. It’s not a win more card. It actively helps you win the game almost regardless of the current game state.

Well, I disagree, I think it’s a losing play to play this while behind on board. But we will see with stats if the cards is any good .

Does he cast the ideal spell for the situation like Zephrys would do, or does is cast a random helpful spell?
I mean, if my adversary has lethal on board, and i really need a blizzard and he cast arcane missile instead, i’m gonna be pissed for sure.
