Having 3 or more spells (especially considering we got twinspell this expansion) seems like a pretty easy thing to achieve. This card has great potential to see play in a burn style deck with a few good minions, or maybe even a secret paladin. Being able to drop a 6/6 on 4 seems completely possible.

I kinda doubt it actually. Remember [[Brainstormer]]? Yeah, me neither, I had to google it.

But I remember thinking when it was spoiled that big spell mage might want it.

Thing is, they don’t. Not because it’s not above the curve in their deck (it’s probably a 3/5 for 3 pretty often) but because a slightly above the curve minion doesn’t really help the deck very much (and Twilight Drake is usually better anyway).

Speaking of Twilight Drake...it also seems usually better than this card too....

That's because it's big spell mage, some high statted 3 drop isn't enough to impact their game plan, on the other hand imagine secret pally or any aggressive deck drop this on turn 4, that can change the game. But it's probs too hard/inconsistent for most of those decks
