This looks very strong. Elemental Mage will probably replace Tempo Mage now.
Obviously only viable in Elemental / Big Hand Mage. Very strong in that deck though, despite Book of Specters anti-synergy. 4/5.
I played more than 100 ranked games with Elemental Mages this expansion and I can guarantee you, this will be auto included in all variations.
The legends say that it is the reason to nerf mana wyrm… :v
People who think this is good, needs to be treated.
Yeah I mean it’s not like being able to drop a 4/5 on turn one was ever a good play. Not like they had to nerf a card exclusively to deal with that play or anything. 6 mana rags in wild? Nah, garbage. who ever thought a 5 mana barron geddon was a good play is probably an idiot. being able to set up the entire quest-less mage combo in a single turn is just plain bad. Who even wanted to be able to be able to play a turn 1 tar creeper against aggro anyway, not me that’s for sure. A card you can play that actually discounts mountain giant when played? pffft. You know,now that I think about it, prep is a garbage card too.
Prep is absolute garbo bottom of the barrel rogue card, has and will never see ranked play.
Dude your comment made me laugh so hard and trust me I had a long time to laugh like that. Thanks. Anyway I couldn’t agree more on your comment, this card will definitely see play. At least in wild that’s for sure.
Has a mana ramp type card ever been bad? The answer is no and this card is definitely at worst descent
miracle mage
Turn 2 double this into frozen crusher into turn 4 spellbreaker. Might be good to really put ruby spellstone and other efficient value to work.
Even Elemental Mage?
That’s what I was thinking but the hero power is not necessary and you lose too many good cards like bonfire elemental, that you would rather have.
See, I did think about this too, however 4 of the Mage cards revealed so far have text related to Mage’s hero power (true three of them are odd, but another 1 or 2 evens along the same line might make it viable).
Might be worth a theory craft.
Haven’t seen anyone mention the turn 1 Fire Fly into turn 2 Elemental Envocation + Steam Surger for a total of 6/6 stats on board on turn 2.
To me this seems really strong for aggro Ele Mage.
it works in the way of preperation for rogue, you spend a card but you get a discount on another card suddenly that arcanosaur is a little closer to duskbreaker. its pretty solid all around 4/5
Heh, they really wanted to make sure Blazecaller sees actual play in meta before it rotates out.
Fair enough.
It was in some elemental mage/shaman decks
I am fairly certain this will see play in every ele deck. It really speeds up the slowness aspect. It opens up early turn 1 defense with tar ele, t4 potential board clear with arcanoSaur, even a turn 3 babe ele 5/5 draw a card can really help establish board control. There is a lot of interesting much needed dynamic this can add to ele mage.
For ele decks 5/5
Obviously worthless if not playing ele.
Also, all the eles will be rotating out come April… so that’s worth noting.

Autocorrected
While Preparation is great in Rogue, there are factors outside of the card itself that makes it great there.
Elemental Mage will most likely be a deck where Book of Specters is a mainstay, so too many spells really hurts the use of that card.
Elemental Evocation could prove to be a curve fixing card, but Elemental Mage could probably also rather play cards other than this that would fix holes in their curve.
I’m not quite sure, but Book of Specters is almost certainly better than this for any minion based Mage deck, and this won’t see play.
Huge combos with this one.water elemental at turn 2,arcanosaur at 4 mana like duskbreaker,blast wave and celestial emmisary for clear.
Hard to say how good this is tbh
It could suck, it could be amazing
We will see
Looks like Archmage Antonidas is back on the menu, boys!
He’s actually still in wild and pretty good too, with frost nova/doomsayer combo and infinite ice blocks.
What? Antonidas is from the Classic set, i.e. forever Standard (until and if Hall of Fame get to him).
Ahh, sorry, misread your comment.
Could work particularly well for Celestial Emissary combos.
I find three card combos to be a bit RNG based with draw unless your deck revolves around them like mecha’thun.
Probably one of the reasons why Mana Wyrm got nerfed…
For a card that in a tempo/aggresive deck reads “0 mana give your mana wyrm +1 attack” sure
Don’t ignore the fact that this is a pre-nerf Innervate for Elementals. Cosmin Anomaly is also an Elemental that sees many plays in aggressive tempo mage builds, but this combined with Water Elemental could be a decent turn 2 play as well. (you obviously don’t want to play Cosmic Anomaly on turn 2, but make it cheaper when you are about to burst out your opponent in 1 or 2 turns)
Innervate for mage elementals. Seems either busted or not worth a spot.
more like prep for some strong elemental. however you’d want to run this only in a deck wher you can’t use it, which is spiteful mage
Not to be confused with elemental INvocation
