My only issue with the Hunter Legendary thats its stated offensively instead of defensively. It will likely be hard to get it to stick to the board if played turn 4. Unless Hunter gets a way to reduce a secret to 0 or 1 mana that doesn't involve Cloaked Huntress. I really like the ability to get extra Secrets in play, I just not sold it will be consistent enough to be meaningful.

Hopefully this means that Mage doesn't get any 'random' spell generators. And honestly I like this card, defensively statted minion that gives you a useful defensive spell. Like nothing OP or anything but a decent card.
I'm not going to say the hunter legendary is terrible. It can easily be good with new cards, like a card that generates secrets and it's just decent on curve like hydrologist, it could be decent with support. Playing around 3-4 hunter secrets is quite hard, they're going to have big impact. It's jut not going to work if you have to put lots of secrets in your deck and pay 2 mana for each and your decks sucks basically without drawing this card. It's kinda like Lyra, without the 2/3 elementals the card wouldn't be as good.

Well, they asked for healing and they got one.

Rogue.
Seems like an okay card if you want to run Deadly Poison. Rogue needs more viable weapons though

Best candidate to use it with right now is probably Obsidian Shard. If you also put a Deadly Poison on it you can heal back 15 health across 3 turns. Not overly terrible for a class with next to no healing at its disposal but it's a bit expensive in the sense that it's costing you 3 cards to do that.
Maybe Rogue will get a new weapon in the set, who knows.

I can already imagine playing 3 cards to set that up and having someone just eat your weapon with an ooze.
Oh man. The memories. That would be too good.
Not at all since Blade Flurry reads: "Destroy your weapon"
So it's not the weapon that's dealing damage lol

Yeah, i think its a great card for Quest Mage.

Quest mage gets a little better
I like ghastly conjurer, it has a similar idea ZealousD once mentioned, a card that makes some never used cards as part of the meta, or at least more used.
oh wow, nice card... if only rogue had a decent weapon lol.

People are really underrating this card.
I think it's safe to say that Iceblock is going to the hall of fame. These new cards for mage would make Iceblock more of a problem then it is now, and the functionality buys turns like Iceblock does. All the freezing, mirror image, etc.
The real question is will Auctioneer be in the hall of fame. It's what allows Jade druid to be so effective and completely counter control decks.

I think Alex, Iceblock, and Auctioneer will all likely end up in the Hall Of Fame over the next year or two. People don't seem to agree with me about Alex, but I think it limits the design space to much.
Nothing goes into the hall of fame outside of their yearly standard rotation. If it does go to Hof, it'll go on April of 2018.
jades won't matter at all next year since they will be rotating, so it doesn't matter when auctioneer rotates either

Those Frozen Champions are one mana 0/1 cards with a potentially powerful Deathrattle effect: "Add a random Legendary minion to your hand."
Mage Legendary:
Sindragosa
8 mana 8/8 Dragon
Battlecry: Summon two 0/1 Frozen Champions
Frozen Champion
1 mana 0/1
Deathrattle: Add a random Legendary minion to your hand
Sindragosa
8 mana 8/8 Dragon

weird card to evaluate strong in wild Reno mage.
How does this have Quest synergy? It adds random minions to your hand, not spells.
Seems pretty neat. I think it is viable enough to see play, and Mage can easily kill a 0/1 without altering their deck (Though it is slow). Another card to go into Casino Mage.
Just ping with hero power. Slow, but does the job.
Worst case you ping them. You can even do it both on turn 10.

SUPER slow
Oh wow, totally missed that, for some reason i thought the quest worked with any kind of cards.
My bad!
0/1 so you have to kill them to get the cards... uh.
This expansion and card designs are more and more reminiscent of TGT to me with how everything seems a bit overcosted or bit slow/weak. This is very similar to Anub'arak/Rhonin but probably worse even.
You can discover it from historian almost every time though and stack end game value if you want. I don't know if there are enough reasons to play dragon mage though. Seems like it's more aimed at fun than being good.

It's a late game value minion a la medivh and the 2 elises. It's just not an archetype we've seen since the rotation of Reno Jackson in mage. This reveal makes the leaked DK card seem more legit as the two fit the same style of deck.

I'm a little unhappy that Mage gets exclusive access to Sindragosa, but the card is neat. At least it's not useless.
People say it's hard to kill your own 0/1 tokens, but in the control mirror your opponent is guaranteed to play a wipe sooner or later.
I try not to run Thalnos in N'Zoth decks. Sometimes the card draw can screw you over. I remember playing N'Zoth Mill Rogue once and I put Thalnos in for the extra draw, but after shadowstepping N'Zoth twice and using Gang Up on him I got a board with 4 Thalnos. It did not end well for me, haha.
The only end game value cards that we play in this game tend to have very immediate impact. Medivh is like the only that's fringe but it results in insane tempo on the subsequent turns or Elise is just 5/5 for 5 future investment and the pack is immediate whenever your draw or in priest it's just instant.
Two random legendary minions can easily fizzle out too, just look at all the trash from this new set alone lol. I feel if you want to play value game in mage there are far better options than this guy and in the end how many of these value card can you play.

Wouldn't you most compare this to something like Rhonin? That saw mixed amounts of play.
