i dont think so you get a draw card but the effect to reduce the cost of mana only triggers at the start of the next turn so NO
I think it stays on the card.
Like as long as you don’t play it the Spell will continue discounting every turn, no
?
Try and reread it, I saw it the same way as you first time.

I notice the word “turns” plural?

Yeah exactly.
I think it stays as an effect on the card as long as it’s in your hand and continuously discounts the Spell.

with Aqua Archivist or that 2/2/2 reduce elemental by 2 card, this is 3 mana stall with a 1 mana body attached.
I’d be willing to bet this slots in quite nicely to ele mage.
Then that’s the best card I have seen for mage in years.
Wait doesn’t this make the text wrong.
I have a turn as a player, this text is misleading.
It talks as if I have more than one turn.

Yeah. If it works as an ongoing effect, then this is really good.

Not as sold as you , the card they made to combo with it sucks.
I better have a juicy 8 mana frost spell coming, i have seen countless better Mage cards in recent years.

Ok I fully grasped it now.
I went through some weird stuff in my head thinking this is worded wrongly but the s is there to clarify the continuous discount. Got it.

Well, everyone says I just complain. I was trying so hard with this one card:)

I mean, you’re still in problems until the discount gives you tempo back which you lost for playing a 4/4 on turn 4 xd
Let’s take a look at turn 4 for decks which actually run minions:
- Warlock turn 4 5/7 which can slap a sludge or three to your face or straight up clear your board
- Energy shaper + 4 mana spell + 3 mana spell for a casino mage
- drilly the kid + 3 excavates + whatever the RNGeezus decides
And then there’s Pozzik which stuffs your hand full, possibly overdraws you AND gives you a 3/3 or two 3/3 after dying - on board.
How do you even compete with that?
Granted, plague DK has Helya which is also 4/4 and potentially never regains the tempo lost, but then again, we always knew the deck sucked and is only played as a counter to another broken deck.
Nah, forget about tempo elemental mage. It’s still big spell/casino mage or go home, not that I have anything against that.
If anything, we might witness the return of the OTK freeze mage.

Coin + Artist → Draw the Frost Lich Spell above and play it Turn 4.
It’s not bad I think.
Makes for some Aggro like Elemental Mage.

4 Elementals this set, i dont thing the final 3 cards will double down on it.
I need support for Galactic Orb now, i think the Elementals are going to fail.

Well, I’m trying to be optimistic. (I’m not very good at it, lol)
I think the card might work pretty well in wild.
Idk zero cost blizzard and then rewind?

Is there a good Freeze Spell that allows this though.
Aren’t they all cheap. (Standard)
Elemental mage is already fun and underplayed. These seem a good fit.
Other than Prismatic and Amalgam, Elemental Mage really doesnt lose too much over rotation. Perhaps theres enough support and other decks lose enough support to make a deck work.

Isn’t this a kind way of saying it’s weak?
