    Curves perfectly into the secret you get and then Kabal crystal runner. Could be good if mage gets a good secret.

    1. Cable

      Or even a Kirin Tor mage so you push out that secret you drew for free.

      1. Sober667

        Yeah if u can curve fdrom it onto Kirin Tor mage u are in Tempo town
        Just cabal lackey with secret turn 1
        Arcanologist turn 2
        and Mage with secret turn 3
        duble crystal runner or one with Another arcanologist turn 4
        RIP

    I always try to make a good secret mage deck but, unfortunately, I never really succeed... Hopefully, this will be the good time.

  3. Xander Raidon

    Hmm... duplicate may be usable.. in some weird combo mages like Exodia mage.

  4. Immolate

    It's a 2 mana 2/3 draw a card that synergizes with almost your whole deck.

    Oh, yea.

    Good push for Secret Mage. We'll still need a new tempo secret that will replace the Effigy's niche spot though.

    1. Anon

      May even be auto-include for freeze mage?

      1. macrocosm

        well freeze mage in standard's gonna be significantly nerfed due to losing ice lance. In wild, I don't see any reason to play this card over mad scientist

        1. Jlitz

          There are different situations when this is better than having mad scientist... i.e. Already having an ice block in play and being able to draw another for later

  6. chris

    I despised Mad Scientist. So yeah, I hate this card.

  7. KaihatsuJai

    Will be a core card for tempo mage. And common, so great for arena too!

  8. DumbEndumber

    Vanilla body + draw a card is always good. And I think mage needs only another agressive secret (besides mirror, hopefully better a bit) to make secret mage work. On the other hand, deck trimming and directed draw makes this card ubiquitously strong in a majority of the mage decks that run at least 1 secret. If mge will be played in the next expansion, this card could be one of its highlights. (it surely won't be Pyros, lol)

    1. The Mage

      Don't be so certain about Pyros' faith. We haven't yet seen the Mage quest which - regarding to Flame Geyser and Pyros - just might be "Summon X Elementals". Then Pyros would be a great option for the quest since it (if it doesn't get transformed or silenced) adds two extra elementals to your hand. Just wait and see, there are a lot of cards that haven't been revealed.

    2. trav

      novice engineer is 2 1/1 draw a card. this is getting a + 1/2 at same cost. its insane.

  9. Haze

    Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Secret Mage MVP how is this a common lol

  10. Harry

    Sometimes it's better to take a secret in your hand than an activated secret

  11. DevDog

    >extremely slow

    >ice lance is gone from freeze mage

    >reno mage is gone

    >secret mage decks are historically bad

  12. Playwright

    After having played this card myself I have to say that it is very solid and a staple in any mage secret deck.
