How is "The Spy" supposed to work? Your opponent will see your hand size being reduced by one when it is played. That makes no sense. Is the card in your opponents hand just vanishing? Edit: Also minions on board would move around in a weird way for the opponent.
Minions on the board is not that much of an issue. They could just be displayed like they would without the spy, centered in the middle, no need to offset them. Similarly, the card in your hand could just not disappear as you play him, but only once he's revealed. That becomes an issue once your hand is full though. Unlike not seeing that one's opponent can't play minions because of a full board, you can't really hide not overdrawing on supposedly 10 cards in hand. A possible solution would be for him to create an unplayable 'brick' in your hand until he's revealed, but that's not really elegant.
I just assumed your opponent wouldn't see the card getting played and will still see it in your hand. When the minion attacks or whatever then they'll see the card immediately move from your hand to battlefield. It would still be really confusing to see in action especially if you're not familiar with the card so I don't think it's a good card to print either way. Neat idea though.
Gallywix has the market attached to him to give immediate stats when playing the market. The market would have to be like 3 mana on its own to be remotely playable, but that also makes it FAR too consistent in terms of curvestone especially in the likes of Questline Priest. The way to circumvent this is attach it raise the cost and throw stats at it in the form of a minion.
@@SeraphsWitness the card is attached to a neutral minion. They most likely only used the rogue (black) banner for the location because there isn't a neutral (gray) option available. This card would never see play in rogue even at 3 mana 5 durability. Value Rogue is never going to be a thing unless it can generate an obscene amount of tempo at the same time as we saw with Galakrond Rogue. 3 mana do nothing in Rogue almost always gets you killed unless that "do nothing" literally wins you the game like the double deathrattle spell does.

To 30-0 with them, you'd need some consistent way to drop a Judge and both Zerkers AND give them both Windfury. While I'm not saying it won't be powerful. I'm just saying that it's... Quite a bit of setup. In the most vanilla of senses, it's 10 mana 2/3 + 8/8 rush + deal 8 to face if you kill a minion with it. Nice gap closer, but the aggro decks I'd see wanting this kind of finisher would then have to run 2 judges. I'm not sure how much more use an aggressive deck would have for Biased Judge other than exploiting Zerker. I may be forgetting some choice honorable kill effects, though.
Disagree with Merchant King Gallywix. Sure, the card is very powerful, but that's kinda the name of the game in Hearthstone rn. It's elegant, flavorful, simplistic, and powerful. Seems like a legendary they would print.
It would be really cool if the spy was instead a mage card in classic illusionist fashion and said 3 mana 4/3 Your opponent sees this as a secret, also this counts as a secret for you.

Options could be something like More wealth: get X coins More power: give your minions +X +X More time: discover X cards, shuffle X copes of each into your deck I love the idea of just begging for more time tbh.
A long time ago i've made a made "illusion elemental", which was 3/3/1 this card appears like a secret to your opponent until it attacks or take damage.
Great, now my games have become an absolute stomp against aggro because I can play both a gold shire gnoll and shift my deck’s mana cost down. My first instinct would be like “make your hero immune for a turn” or something.
Bilgewater market would be much more "market-y" if it wasn't just resizing pouch with echo x5. It would add a lot of flavour if it gave random cards from random classes at random costs. Like a flea market. You might find anything.
As soon as I saw Mrs. Mrrgglton, I knew it was going to get an “Oh dear” exactly for the reason you mentioned. I was like, “Okay but what happens if you play this on turn 3 when you have full health. If your opponent doesn’t have the ability to hit you and then play Fireball, then she lives. Then you buff the card and smack for life steal and possibly she becomes immune again. And then you repeat.
Angel of death easy rebalance: Restore health to your hero equal to every card for every card your deck is below 30. Make it a more devilish bargain, and evil knows the time value of a return is key for investing your demonic power.
i had a custom card idea a few days ago. "Three Card" Monty. Pirate legend, 3 mana 3/3. Battlecry: Discover 2 cards from your deck. Play two rounds of 3 card monte, with 1 card each time shuffled in with 2 (worthless imps or other equally worthless 1 mana 1/1s). able to follow your cards? cool, you get to draw them. Guess wrong, and you're stuck with 2 worthless imps and your cards are gone.
Okay but the fortune teller meta would be interesting. People naming their decks certain things to roast their opponents and vice versa, made even more interesting by the limited character count in a deck name. I like the idea of naming my deck with the intent of it being seen by the opponent.
I think Angel of Death can be "silencr and destroy all other minions" to fit flavor of angel or death raining ruin. Also raise mana cost and stat a bit so it is harder to run in combo deck as mid game board reset against aggro. It would be mostly used as extra premium board swing against fellow control deck at cost of being vulnerable against fatigue
3:50 I disagree here. Health, especially early on, is not that much of a deal, and I think it's usually way better to take off the threat of the enemy board. But apart from that, it's NOT a 3 mana 4/4 charge. It's a 3 mana 4/4 charge 50% of the time, IF your opponent has exactly one minion when you play it. And even when it happens to be a turn 2 or 3 4/4 charge, you can't even rely on it dealing face damage the next turn. This card is only marginally stronger than the OG Ogre, and it's justified by the class restriction. 4:06 If you change the text to "50% to attack the wrong minion", this card gets actually stronger. As I said, I think dealing with board is stronger at that stage of the game. Now, same scenario we had before, opponent has only one minion - you now have a 100% accurate 3 mana 4/4 rush. And even if there are more minions, you're likely to get value trades of.
Mrs. Mrrgglton could work if she also had the effect of not being able to be targeted by spells or hero powers. It’ll prevent any targeted buffing or healing.
For The Spy. when they play the card, the opponent would notice you have a card less. And if you played a card and nothing else happened, that would give it away. I'm surprised he didn't bring that up
The way Merchant King Gallywix plays out in my head is you play him to get the market to hand. So if you drop him on curve he's a 6 mana 5/8 do nothing, then next turn you can drop the market but now your down 3 mana if you don't reduce the cost at all.
I think Begrudging Avenger is really interesting *because* it might go face. Is 4 damage to the face on turn 3 really that good when your opponent has a minion on the board, and you leave it up to let them decide how to trade into your 4/4? So many of the 50/50 ogre cards are just bad because of how unreliable they are, but the fact that this sort of card might find its way into an aggro deck is interesting. It will still be unreliable, whether you want it to trade or go face.
It's reminiscent of that classic 3/2 DH minion that went dormant for 2 turns and then attacked a random enemy. It was in every deck cause it was pretty much game over when they hit face
@@huldreich287 Do you mean imprisoned fellmaw? It was a hunter card, and it was a 5/4. It was good in the decks it was played in, but by no means a game ender.
The Spy could actually be pretty interesting if you stack spell damage buffs onto it. There aren't many, and it would be pretty obvious, but this would effectively give it perfect stealth.
“The Angel of Death” is worse than you think. If it were printed, it’d be run a lot. By proxy, you’d see more Curse Warlocks and you’d get games where suddenly one player just dies out of nowhere.
So how would Master Chef interact with an Amalgam? Would you just get as many different foods as you can hold, a random one, or a special card all its own?
Kind of have a idea for fortune teller Discover: one of the letter of your opponent deck name. If it's correct , draw a card with same letter of your deck. (When it's able to draw, it get yellow light surround the card) Also the card name change favor remind the same.
Man the spy card would be such a pain since if it's not cleared on accident it can get buffed and attack the next turn without the opponent being able to have stopped it "charge-lite", plus how does it work with hand size among other issues.
So, if Master Chef Rana were to destroy an Amalgam would you get a copy of every dish except Mystery Meat or would you get one dish that does all the effects?
The spy still wouldn't work either way because you will have noticed that they are missing one card in their hand when playing it. Unless the card itself has a "fake" card in the hand effect when put in play.
9:06 I was too far from my monitor to read any text for the dishes, but as soon as Trump read the creator's bland and tasteless suggestion for a Totem tribe dish, I realized he was just coming up with random nonsense for the dishes.
Trump be tripping to think that they will never design a minion that summons a location. It's 1000% gonna happen. Either in the mini set with spawning the first neutral location or the final expansion with the death knights
For Angel of Death, I would instead make it: "Battlecry: For the rest of the game, fatigue damage is lethal". Sure, that destroys the flavor of a bargain with a delayed downside, but it instead becomes a viable card in mill decks. I really like the idea of lethal fatigue.
I assume that the Spy card is also not visible to your opponent when its in your hand, otherwise they'll notice that a card disappears from your hand when you play it. In that case, it should also draw you an extra card when you draw it, otherwise they'll notice when you skip your draw and get this. Then you also have to deal with what happens if the Spy is in your opening hand. Do you just say that's not possible, or do you gain an extra card when you start with it? There are just too many problems with how this sort of card would interact with the rest of the game.
What if the Angel of Death just... heals you for the number of cards you've played this game. It wouldn't be good until you're starting to be in a bit more danger of decking out, as it were...
So unlike what Trump said there is no way I can see the spy being played hidden first to trigger combo cards. I don't know of any 0 mana combo cards, and rogue has to both have a 0 mana combo card and be overloaded in order to trigger a 0 mana combo. When the stars align, I suppose. And 0 mana combo cards are their own can of worms, it's counter intuitive design to have them. So the spy is either the last card you play in a turn (Or another 0 mana spell right after, which would already be combo if used with prep), or a wisp. So those design points should be put back, though it's still functionally, in your deck as a rogue, a wisp with combo: gain stealth, so take that as you might.
I’m curious how the spy would function if you somehow gave it taunt. It’s not technically stealthed and it’s not gaining stats, so would your opponent be able to go face?
interesting last card. its basically like yugioh because you loose the game if you draw and your deck is empty. (there is no fatique damage in yugioh) having something like this in hearthstone with the upside to full restore against aggro , would be nice to have
the master chef rana should all be 1 target buffs instead of all random things, like pirate "give a minion +3 attack and rush" , beast "give a minion deathrattle when this creature dies create 2 1/1 spiders"
The spy would go great in a maestra of the masquerade deck. Were the opponent would think you're playing a whole another class anyways, and would be even cooler if the spy didn't trigger her affect.
Spy is almost how Stealth works in another card game I play and how I wish it worked in HS. Where you'll see they have a minion on board but it will be completely blank, the image is just black with the name and effect as ???. So an actually stealthed minion.
MTG players living with the downside of "The Angel Of Death" without any upside, also when you mention demonic consultation, I think these days it's most commonly used to destroy your entire deck, at least in EDH
11:14 Kinda surprised he gave this design 1 star but didn't address the flavour fail. Mrs. Mrrgglton is presumably Finley's wife, but it doesn't pay any homage or take any inspiration from Finley. And why does Finleys wife achieve immortality when you're full health? Why is a random murloc acting as a protector/healer? Murlocula has lifesteal because its a vampire, Mutanus is disruption because it consumes its prey and evolves, murloc warleader gives friendly murlocs attack because its rallying the troops and Mrs. Mrrgglton is invincible because uhhh... she reads books. I guess.
I think the spy should be 1 mana 3/4 with same text and combo thing is not confusing when everyone knows that card exist in game, its more like now enemy knows that you have the spy on board
i disagree that 'damage to enemy minions, then damage enemy minions' is not a mech trait. there are several mechs with deathrattle, deal damage to enemy minions, some of which have rush. there was even that one mech that does damage to all minions at the end of turn
9:39 4 mana 4/4 situationally destroy a minion isn't good Trump. Kurtrus almost always kills 2 tokens or 1 "big" minion and has been unplayable since release. Rogue has 5 mana better than destroy a minion with 0 restrictions and and it sees absolutely 0 play.
I don't disagree that a 4 mana 4/4 outcast: destroy a minion isn't that good, but Kurtrus isn't that. Kurtrus deals damage rather than outright killing, you can't choose what he hits, and he has to contend with things like divine shield and lifesteal. A 4 mana 4/4 outcast: destroy a minion might actually be playable. Aditionally, it isn't fair to compare class cards between classes a lot of the time, especially when it comes to rogue in particular
Animal Companion is 33% charge enemy face for 4 every single time you cast it, no matter the board state, and that's fine. The Avenger is completely balanced IMO.
I think Trump misunderstood The Spy, or maybe I did, cause to me it implies that you have to play it AT 0 Mana, probably a typo, and that makes it so combo issue is never an issue
Where does it say it must be played at 0 mana? I think the creator specified the specific cost to bystep showing your mana usage to the opponent. In the case there is a card which increases the cost above 0, the spy will not be hidden when played
I didn't expect to get my first "Design 5 stars, Balance 5 stars" on Natalie of all cards, but I'm glad I managed to achieve it.

I was like, “Okay but what happens if you play this on turn 3 when you have full health. If your opponent doesn’t have the ability to hit you and then play Fireball, then she lives. Then you buff the card and smack for life steal and possibly she becomes immune again. And then you repeat.
Angel of death easy rebalance: Restore health to your hero equal to every card for every card your deck is below 30. Make it a more devilish bargain, and evil knows the time value of a return is key for investing your demonic power.
i had a custom card idea a few days ago. "Three Card" Monty. Pirate legend, 3 mana 3/3. Battlecry: Discover 2 cards from your deck. Play two rounds of 3 card monte, with 1 card each time shuffled in with 2 (worthless imps or other equally worthless 1 mana 1/1s). able to follow your cards? cool, you get to draw them. Guess wrong, and you're stuck with 2 worthless imps and your cards are gone.
Okay but the fortune teller meta would be interesting.
People naming their decks certain things to roast their opponents and vice versa, made even more interesting by the limited character count in a deck name.
I like the idea of naming my deck with the intent of it being seen by the opponent.
My main deck back when i played was called Topdeck Master
I think Angel of Death can be "silencr and destroy all other minions" to fit flavor of angel or death raining ruin.
Also raise mana cost and stat a bit so it is harder to run in combo deck as mid game board reset against aggro.
It would be mostly used as extra premium board swing against fellow control deck at cost of being vulnerable against fatigue
3:50 I disagree here. Health, especially early on, is not that much of a deal, and I think it's usually way better to take off the threat of the enemy board. But apart from that, it's NOT a 3 mana 4/4 charge. It's a 3 mana 4/4 charge 50% of the time, IF your opponent has exactly one minion when you play it. And even when it happens to be a turn 2 or 3 4/4 charge, you can't even rely on it dealing face damage the next turn. This card is only marginally stronger than the OG Ogre, and it's justified by the class restriction. 4:06 If you change the text to "50% to attack the wrong minion", this card gets actually stronger. As I said, I think dealing with board is stronger at that stage of the game. Now, same scenario we had before, opponent has only one minion - you now have a 100% accurate 3 mana 4/4 rush. And even if there are more minions, you're likely to get value trades of.
Mrs. Mrrgglton could work if she also had the effect of not being able to be targeted by spells or hero powers. It’ll prevent any targeted buffing or healing.
Video ended so abruptly that I didn't realize the outro was missing
For The Spy. when they play the card, the opponent would notice you have a card less. And if you played a card and nothing else happened, that would give it away. I'm surprised he didn't bring that up
The way Merchant King Gallywix plays out in my head is you play him to get the market to hand. So if you drop him on curve he's a 6 mana 5/8 do nothing, then next turn you can drop the market but now your down 3 mana if you don't reduce the cost at all.
"Sucks to be your opponent"
That's basically every Priest card, ever.
Natalie + Bloodreaver Guldan - you bite something to heal it for 3, then take 3 damage.
no, since you deal no damage you dont lifesteal anything, so you only heal for 3
@@TheThunderBar good catch, though less fun
I think Begrudging Avenger is really interesting *because* it might go face. Is 4 damage to the face on turn 3 really that good when your opponent has a minion on the board, and you leave it up to let them decide how to trade into your 4/4? So many of the 50/50 ogre cards are just bad because of how unreliable they are, but the fact that this sort of card might find its way into an aggro deck is interesting. It will still be unreliable, whether you want it to trade or go face.
It's reminiscent of that classic 3/2 DH minion that went dormant for 2 turns and then attacked a random enemy. It was in every deck cause it was pretty much game over when they hit face
@@huldreich287 Do you mean imprisoned fellmaw? It was a hunter card, and it was a 5/4. It was good in the decks it was played in, but by no means a game ender.
Imagine the opponent drawing fortune teller and reading: "9-11 Hallal" when playing against my mine rogue deck...
💀💀💀
The Spy could actually be pretty interesting if you stack spell damage buffs onto it. There aren't many, and it would be pretty obvious, but this would effectively give it perfect stealth.
I am going to assume that doing so would reveal so since it would be targetted
“The Angel of Death” is worse than you think. If it were printed, it’d be run a lot. By proxy, you’d see more Curse Warlocks and you’d get games where suddenly one player just dies out of nowhere.
So how would Master Chef interact with an Amalgam? Would you just get as many different foods as you can hold, a random one, or a special card all its own?
Fortune teller finds: "Triple Threat" and opponent is playing questline priest. Hmmm?
Problem with the spy: I play psychic scram.
Kind of have a idea for fortune teller
Discover: one of the letter of your opponent deck name.
If it's correct , draw a card with same letter of your deck.
(When it's able to draw, it get yellow light surround the card)
Also the card name change favor remind the same.
A bigger problem for me about the Fortune Teller is that it encourages naming your decks something unintuitive.
how would angel of death interact with the warlock quest ? and could that potentially end the game in a draw ?
1:40 You would also have to get a fake card in hand when this is played
Man the spy card would be such a pain since if it's not cleared on accident it can get buffed and attack the next turn without the opponent being able to have stopped it "charge-lite", plus how does it work with hand size among other issues.
0:47 Last time I actually played the game, Yeti was a legitimate card people played. So this just sounds insane lol
I feel like Biased Judge could become a Bribed Judge and be a Rogue card.
Probably not very useful in Rogue but the flavor fits.
The cook is certainly food for thought
So, if Master Chef Rana were to destroy an Amalgam would you get a copy of every dish except Mystery Meat or would you get one dish that does all the effects?
The spy still wouldn't work either way because you will have noticed that they are missing one card in their hand when playing it. Unless the card itself has a "fake" card in the hand effect when put in play.
9:06 I was too far from my monitor to read any text for the dishes, but as soon as Trump read the creator's bland and tasteless suggestion for a Totem tribe dish, I realized he was just coming up with random nonsense for the dishes.
Trump be tripping to think that they will never design a minion that summons a location. It's 1000% gonna happen. Either in the mini set with spawning the first neutral location or the final expansion with the death knights
I think Angel of Death would be cool with the battlecry "Draw 11 cards."
For Angel of Death, I would instead make it: "Battlecry: For the rest of the game, fatigue damage is lethal".
Sure, that destroys the flavor of a bargain with a delayed downside, but it instead becomes a viable card in mill decks. I really like the idea of lethal fatigue.
I assume that the Spy card is also not visible to your opponent when its in your hand, otherwise they'll notice that a card disappears from your hand when you play it.
In that case, it should also draw you an extra card when you draw it, otherwise they'll notice when you skip your draw and get this.
Then you also have to deal with what happens if the Spy is in your opening hand. Do you just say that's not possible, or do you gain an extra card when you start with it?
There are just too many problems with how this sort of card would interact with the rest of the game.
What if the Angel of Death just... heals you for the number of cards you've played this game. It wouldn't be good until you're starting to be in a bit more danger of decking out, as it were...
So unlike what Trump said there is no way I can see the spy being played hidden first to trigger combo cards. I don't know of any 0 mana combo cards, and rogue has to both have a 0 mana combo card and be overloaded in order to trigger a 0 mana combo. When the stars align, I suppose. And 0 mana combo cards are their own can of worms, it's counter intuitive design to have them. So the spy is either the last card you play in a turn (Or another 0 mana spell right after, which would already be combo if used with prep), or a wisp. So those design points should be put back, though it's still functionally, in your deck as a rogue, a wisp with combo: gain stealth, so take that as you might.
Angel of Death: Start of Game: Your first Fatigue card fully heals your hero. The next Fatigue card destroys your hero.
I immediately thought about Lt. Eddy when I saw Fortune Teller
I knew that fortune teller art looked familiar. That's tarot from HoN
How would the spy work when playing it from hand. Won't the other player see a card disappear from hand?
I’m curious how the spy would function if you somehow gave it taunt. It’s not technically stealthed and it’s not gaining stats, so would your opponent be able to go face?
If you can’t target it, taunt is ignored always
Lol the powercreep:
Yeti that upgrades warlock hero power and adds an additional +2 health -> perfectly balanced in 2022 meta
Mrs. Mrrgglton can't lock out your opponent from the game, since if the minion has Immune, it's Taunt is ignored, probably to avoid lock out scenarios
I feel like the end is a bit of a hard cut. But great video =)
I imagine people would run Angel of Death in decks where fatigue isn't a problem or somehow shuffle copies of Angel of Death in to the deck.
How would the Angel of Death work with the warlock quest? Would it transfer the effect to the opponent or does it just target you?
well... words as written would be: Destroy is not damage, so it would still target you.
I played the Spy card, but now I only have 9 deck slots. I'm confused
What if Fortune Teller was changed to 'Battlecry: Reveal a card from your opponent's hand."
Begrudging Avenger could say: 50% to attack the wrong character. I would love to see that
The spy would never word because the opponent can see the # of cards in your hand
interesting last card.
its basically like yugioh because you loose the game if you draw and your deck is empty. (there is no fatique damage in yugioh)
having something like this in hearthstone with the upside to full restore against aggro , would be nice to have
the master chef rana should all be 1 target buffs instead of all random things, like pirate "give a minion +3 attack and rush" , beast "give a minion deathrattle when this creature dies create 2 1/1 spiders"
@12:29 Dear lord, Fortune Teller would suck against my decks. I name my decks after whatever piece of candy or snack food I'm eating at the time.
What if "Open the Market" filled each player's board with a 1 toughness version of the given location?
The spy would go great in a maestra of the masquerade deck. Were the opponent would think you're playing a whole another class anyways, and would be even cooler if the spy didn't trigger her affect.
Spy is almost how Stealth works in another card game I play and how I wish it worked in HS. Where you'll see they have a minion on board but it will be completely blank, the image is just black with the name and effect as ???. So an actually stealthed minion.
5:10 if it would be 6-7 it would have great stats for the cost
MTG players living with the downside of "The Angel Of Death" without any upside, also when you mention demonic consultation, I think these days it's most commonly used to destroy your entire deck, at least in EDH
11:14 Kinda surprised he gave this design 1 star but didn't address the flavour fail. Mrs. Mrrgglton is presumably Finley's wife, but it doesn't pay any homage or take any inspiration from Finley. And why does Finleys wife achieve immortality when you're full health? Why is a random murloc acting as a protector/healer?
Murlocula has lifesteal because its a vampire, Mutanus is disruption because it consumes its prey and evolves, murloc warleader gives friendly murlocs attack because its rallying the troops and Mrs. Mrrgglton is invincible because uhhh... she reads books. I guess.
What if biased judge worked the other way? Put the grumpy "2" human judge and have it say "none of your opponents kills are honorable"
I think the spy should be 1 mana 3/4 with same text and combo thing is not confusing when everyone knows that card exist in game, its more like now enemy knows that you have the spy on board
The Spy: you can see your opponent’s hand-size decrease, right? What happens if you play a minion on either side of this? Is it just a blank space?
i disagree that 'damage to enemy minions, then damage enemy minions' is not a mech trait. there are several mechs with deathrattle, deal damage to enemy minions, some of which have rush. there was even that one mech that does damage to all minions at the end of turn
9:39 4 mana 4/4 situationally destroy a minion isn't good Trump. Kurtrus almost always kills 2 tokens or 1 "big" minion and has been unplayable since release.
Rogue has 5 mana better than destroy a minion with 0 restrictions and and it sees absolutely 0 play.
I don't disagree that a 4 mana 4/4 outcast: destroy a minion isn't that good, but Kurtrus isn't that. Kurtrus deals damage rather than outright killing, you can't choose what he hits, and he has to contend with things like divine shield and lifesteal. A 4 mana 4/4 outcast: destroy a minion might actually be playable. Aditionally, it isn't fair to compare class cards between classes a lot of the time, especially when it comes to rogue in particular
Imagine getting this first card in hunter
Never heard of the Quillboar tribe. Does anyone know anything about this?
Animal Companion is 33% charge enemy face for 4 every single time you cast it, no matter the board state, and that's fine. The Avenger is completely balanced IMO.
Would the spy be salvaged if it read: If played AT 0 mana?
Bruh when I see a card with a dissertation of text my eyes glaze over
another problem with the spy u just count the cards in their hand so if a card just disappears ud have more bug reports.
Imagine drawing Fortune Teller in a highlander deck and seeing it's called "Eat My A$$ Zephrys"
I think Trump misunderstood The Spy, or maybe I did, cause to me it implies that you have to play it AT 0 Mana, probably a typo, and that makes it so combo issue is never an issue
Where does it say it must be played at 0 mana? I think the creator specified the specific cost to bystep showing your mana usage to the opponent. In the case there is a card which increases the cost above 0, the spy will not be hidden when played
Ever bloom seems so fun
At first i thought that the Spy could be played only when you have 0 mana, this way it wouldn't be able to activate combo without being revealed
0 mana combo cards can exist, ways of being at 0 mana without playing cards exist too
