It sounded like they’re gonna try to boost frost more. Arcane is arguably mage’s strongest school already. I really wanna see varden’s hero card. So far the hero cards have been universally interesting at the very least

It won’t be in your hand when Ink Set procs - you’ve already cast it for 3. I suppose that doesn’t really accomplish much unless you can get another 2 or 3 mana spell generated from a battlecry minion or something to chain together.
That being said, my initial Big Spell thoughts were all based around trying to ‘cast’ (directly or otherwise) Mask of C’thun 6 or 7 times, and that clearly hasn’t panned out. I’ll defer to your experience on this one, though I’m still thinking this card could be one of the pieces simply because Big Spell has been missing something like Power of Creation.
Stop killing my dreams lol.
Hero power is now 2 mana Arcane Missiles that FREEZES WHATEVER IT HITS.
Oh my god the salt would be second only to the amount of popcorn I’d need to pop.

It looks like she casts arcane missiles in a wide arc…maybe deal 1 damage to all enemies?

Cool. And my opponent really not care about the minion either while he smash my face.
Guess it’s a win win. Also now Control players have something to remove.
There is your “interaction” i guess.

Pyros isn’t played now. What makes this card different?
The frost aspect? So Qmage will run this for the synergy?
pyros is a minion, this is a spell. that alone is a huge difference.
you can play this in big spell mage to have something to do early on and still keep a high cost spell in hand for when you play ink or whatever you need high cost spell in hand.
plus, the video specifically said that there will be a mage card that wants you to have a frost spell in hand, and this does allow you to play something and still keep a frost spell in hand.

The card is bad because it’s body is bad.
Not discussing If It would be overpowered with one more health or not but i have exactly 0 reason to put this in any deck.
Oasis Ally is better and see exactly 0 play summoning a freaking 3/6.
If a extra tick for Quest mage was so important oasis Ally would be already being used despite of not activating on It most of the time.
Not only that but this card hints into devs trying to fit Minions in Quest mage that sincerely is a hilarious bad idea because people are Just tired of the deck.

i don´t thin it´s that bad actually, so far most attempts of mine to get frostmage going did hit a wall as you can keep up or even get ahead in tempo for a while but then you run out of cards/value, and this might be a sort of fix here.
it´ll never be a tier 1 deck if the other revealed cards don´t go insane, but it might go to tier 3ish, playable. (edit: which for mage is pretty much as good as it gets).

It not even gonna be a deck because they’re not going to make a viable freeze deck.
Your wall is intentional so they say people technically can play freeze mage but they never get good enough so other people have to face It.
This to me feels like a card they want to work with the likes of dungeoneer and rimetongue.
They’re all cards that spawn minions that freeze, freeze then discount the 5/5
The extra minions then try to rush the enemy down, since a freeze mage doesn’t have the arcane/fire spells to nuke directly.
If enemy tries to fight the mage off with their own board, the freeze could actually let the mage beat back bigger boards or stall them long enough for mage to go face, like a face hunter might.
This is all theory of course and has yet to materialize. In my two game experiment using current standard cards, I lost badly vs a priest (though I did destroy a 5/8 with snap freeze which was fun), but crutched out a win vs a deathrattle hunter (froze everything so they can’t even trigger DR, went face, got owl to cast a second deep freeze)

So you are saying that the 3/3 body is weak?
Exactly.
Too weak and not act on the main issue for the deck that is aggro rushing It down.
It would be passable If It atleast was 3/4 but ideally It should be a 3/3 with taunt.

Well to heck with that! In this: “OP is normal” era I want a 3/6 water ele body:)
Here we go finaly ,this right here the Mage standards.
Problem is those pesky Mage players actualy think they deserve higher tier decks.
Whats up with spellcasters this days wanting more than they deserve , know your place Mage scrubs.

Exactly right. Mages need to learn their place.
slogging like the peons they are at tier 5.
Even tier 3 was too good lol.
Back to get tier 1 winrates by getting people off guard i guess.
Probably returning to the Gran finale decks since people are starting to forget the cult neophite in their collections.
I can get good win rates with Mage regardless of tier…
But is it too much to ask to be a real meta tyrant not just in popularity but actualy in win rate %???
I also want to switch my brain off and still breeze to Legend.
Thinking about my plays too much is bad for me i demand brain dead tier 1 beat everything bs other classes seem to get every expansion.
But what do i know , im just a Mage jackass.
