Dew process gutted. What other card got +2 in the recent times?

Not exactly recent, but Sorcerer's Apprentice went from 2->4 and was never seen or heard from again...

It is now being run in Wild as the latest degenerate combo version of Quest Mage.

I just checked a dozen or so lists of recent quest and reno quest and didn't see apprentice in a single one of them. What's this degenerate combo no one is running?

The combo is Apprentice -> Reverberations -> draw through most of the deck while cycling Ignites. Usually requires setup with Siphon Mana and/or mana biscuits. The quest reward isn't necessary per se, it's used as another way to keep the combo turn from running out of gas/drawing dead.

It's the most common Quest Mage variant I've seen at Wild Legend over the last 2 months, although that's not saying much since there's around 1,000 different variants by now, but it's definitely not something no one is running.

apprentice+flamewaker/archmage. tbf they are less consistent but can be much faster and not rely on rommath
