Most not connected the dots yet but…
If you make your Quest mage a spell deck. How much mana cheating you are getting on a single deck ?
Not only that but spot the difference gives you 2 steps of progress while pocket dimension is the perfect card to play after you get your Quest reward.
In fact pocket dimension is so good regarding using the Quest reward that Will make king’s relic see no space in the list.
I’m really looking forward to it. Spell Mage is one archetype but the fact that the effect of the quest is not limited to spells but includes all cards with Discover opens alot of interesting possibilities.
Finally the Mage gets more room for experimentation instead of just finding the most effective deck for an archetype.
Exactly. Creature of Madness becomes 2-mana for 2 x 3 drops with buffs. Raptor Herald could cheat even more mana by finding you an 11-drop beast.
I’m not sure that a puzzle box of yogg saron is really the craziest thing you could hope for from the quest reward.
That seems relatively tame to me.
If you are using the charges on mage spells, the reward is just a little less than 2x puzzle boxes attached to some card generation.
Pocket Dimension is going to be hilarious with this in wild. 7 mana cast 16 random spells. Don’t forget two Air Guitarists and Brann for the memes.
Id be worried about mage survival… I mean you get that one deal 3 damage to a single minion for discovering but you’re going to have to stuff a bunch of awful mage defensive spells to survive through playing discoverstone.
Yeah, just be careful with hand space, because pocket dimension stops once you hit 10 cards.
Having an empty hand with a deck full of discover cards is not so simple.
Just in case someone hasn’t seen it yet. There was some info concerning the quest on Hearthpwn:
"Everything The Origin Stone plays is a copy.
Theotar + The Origin Stone: It will play copies of the other two card. It will not rip them from your opponent’s hand.
Finley + The Origin Stone: It will ignore hero powers, and not consume a charge.
Maruut + The Origin Stone: Maruut will discover A, B, and C. If you choose A, it will be summoned. Then a copy of B and C will be summoned. Then the original B and C will be added to your hand. You end up with A B C in play, and B C in hand.
Vulpera Scoundrel + The Origin Stone: Vulper Scoundrel will discover A, B, and C, and it will also show mystery choice M. Choosing the M is not a discover, and nothing will happen other than receiving the mystery choice. If you choose A, then B and C will be played, and nothing will happen with M."
Didn’t realize that. Insert sad face emoji here.
In fact It is tame BUT…
We are forgetting that during the match you gonna hit many times either spell mage cards or Discover mage spells.
As i said:
The mana cheating for this deck is unreal and it will be rare to even have a single turn without some happening.
The pocket dimension is more of a finisher in the sense that you gonna be able to curate what will be happening while going all in without much opportunity to get hit by viper.
And when you are done there is story of the waygate for a final push with what you got in hand that If you are a good player you gonna pick direct damage away from being casted when possible.
This deck is mana cheating on top of mana cheating on top of mana cheating in the sense that:
That put together with the older versions of spell mage that had only manufactory error as draw and the fact Quest decks always play the Quest turn 1 reducing the average hand space usage.
That deck really looks like something powerfull to be part of the metagame.
Yeah, it has potential, but it is just a bit too slot machine to me.
There are a LOT of bad mage spells, and randomly casting them can harm you.
Picking the cards you don’t want to cast means the hand of stuff you have is all the stuff you didn’t want to happen.
It’s a ton of mama cheat, but it’s unfocused, and leaves a huge opportunity to very little or even harm you.
The most meme (and also powerful) thing I can think of doing with the quest reward is Eudora treasures.
