You get ~8/8 worth of stats for 6 mana, which is good. It's kinda like the Mire Keeper/Slime, but since it's later in the curve, the poor trading weakness of the Mire Keeper doesn't show up here. Only a 5/6 will eat both drops.

That is a pretty great Arena card

A great Arena 6 drop is Ogre brute which is 6/7. This is 5/5 and a random 3 cost minion. A average 3 drop is 3/3 so you will on average get 16 points worth of stats compared to the 13 of the brute.

I too would likely concede against a mage able to play 10 mana on turn 6

EDIT: nevermind, I'm an idiot, was thinking of Mukla's Champion. I am curious though, when it says "Summon a random minion", is rarity not considered?

Nah, it is completely random regardless of rarity

Just like Esportal can give you anything or webspinner where you have a equal chance of getting a stone tusk boar or a King Krush

Rarity isn't considered for any of the random effects so far (besides drafting in arena), so I doubt it. Class cards supposedly have weight over neutrals but that's it.

Shieldmaiden same stats/cost and give 5 armor which is worth just under 3 mana. This minion summons a 3 mana minion which will almost always be worth 3, and provides tempo. Seems really really strong, especially for a damn common. Worst cards to get would be like Magma Rager or Edwin/Druid of the Flame (2/2s).

Plenty of decent 3 cost legends, 4/2s and other good shit at the 3 slot.

Class cards I think have 400% weight increase in discover, I'm not sure in "summon random" though.

Definitely not. Summon random seems like just that. Additionally you get other class's cards.

That's definitely a good arena card. With duplicate and echo coming out, I don't see it finding a space in standard though.

I thought 5 armor was worth ~1.5 mana. Bash is 3 damage and 3 armor, the damage component is easily worth 2, so 3 armor is 1 mana.

Not nitpicking just to nitpick, I always like these type of card comparisons. I was going to use Shield Block but the card draw makes it hairy since card draw's value isn't linear.

So if you're running into a lot of zoo/paladin/tempo mage (who isn't amirite?). I've been working on mage lately to get golden, I was playing a tempo deck, but more mid-range before switching to this more aggro variant and won 7-8 in a row now.
2xarcane missles
2xleper gnome
2xmana wyrm
2xflame cannon
2xfrost bolt
2xunstable portal
1xbloodmage thalnos
2xloot hoarder
2xmad scientist
2xsorc's app
2xarcane intellect
1xcounterspell
1xmirror entity
2xflamewaker
2xfireball
2xpiloted shredder
1xazure drake

Made it to rank 5 already, made a couple of changes. The sorc's apprentices were doing nothing in this variation so I took them out, replaced one with a flame juggler. Replaced 1 arcane intellect w/ forgotten torch, which has surprisingly turned out better than anticipated, great card for either pushing more damage or removing a minion off the board and since you usually go through the majority of your deck you often get a 3 mana fireball later for more face damage. And I replaced 1 flame cannon for arcane explosion. Arcane explosion just does so much work against zoo and pally and it can be a great way to clear the board often times w/ a flamewaker. The last card I added, since I took out both apprentice's is polymorph:boar. There have been times where I thought about removing it because it can often sit in hand and its actually usually used as a finisher so I thought about just replacing it w/ another torch since that could be used as removal or a finisher, but the polymorph does come in handy every once in awhile.

Yea i was looking at shield block and hero power and taking a middle ground. Card draw is worth 1 or 1.5 depending who you ask. So it's under 3 mana for sure. Could be under 2. Hero power is always over costed and class cards usually have more value so kinda in middle somewhere
