You got me, it's from Karazhan Adventure But it looks like they did like the design. The actual card:

I wonder if this is good enough.

2 more mana than Mysterious Challenger, and doesn't give you a 6/6 body, but Mage secrets are vastly stronger, and secret Mage is already a thing so it won't significantly impair your deck with having to play shitty secrets.

wont see play imo

I would've said the same thing if there wasn't already a Secret Mage archetype in the meta. Maybe this can just be thrown in late game?

It doesn't really synergize with the game plan, though. It's very slow at 8 mana and doesn't develop the board outside of Mirror Entity. Thins the deck a ton though. Not sure.

Late game? By the late game, if you have that many secrets left in your deck, you're gonna be kinda fucked.

You don't have that many secrets late game

and wasting a late game turn just to play secrets? not sure...

The deck currently runs ~4 secrets.

So with this addition you'd cut other cards and run 6-8.

Not saying it'd work but just an idea. 15 mana of secrets is a giant tempo swing even without the board development.

I think it probably sucks, just trying not to judge too prematurely because I didn't think Mysterious Challenger would be that good either and it was maybe the best card in the set, and the effect of this card is way more powerful. Mage already has powerful early turns much like Secret Paladin did so who knows.

I think this is blizzard finally giving mage some shitty cards, as opposed to always having overall great cards in their kit.

Maybe bring mage more in-line with some other classes in arena as well.. Mage cards have been too good in the past.

Petal deck?
