I almost feel bad for picking another one of the Spirit cards from Rastakhan's Rumble since we've clearly already got a couple of them on the board thanks to Echo, but I'll balance it out with the whole fun package. Initially I wasn't too sure if I even wanted to take part in our Rastakhan's Rumble portion of this series but after reviewing the cards again, my body got all warm and fuzzy when I hit Mage.

I don't really consider myself the typical Hearthstone player when everyone in the media seems to always be rushing for Legend and being all competitive. I do enjoy my meta decks but when I can mess around with some cool cards in fun, combolicious ways, I've hit my stride! When Daring Fire-Eater and Spirit of the Dragonhawk were announced, it was a match made in heaven.

Hero Power synergies, in my opinion, are one of those areas of Hearthstone that could use more love, so when these popped up I immediately wanted to combo them together. Even without the dream of Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk (which was golden crafted day 1 for record's sake), getting Fire-Eater and the Spirit to line up and deal some devastating board clear was too much fun! These are the wacky mechanics I like to see pop up in the game.

Rastakhan's Rumble entire Mage stack was actually a ton of fun since it focused heavily on the Hero Power interactions (what up Pyromaniac!) and we received some good stuff in the elemental package, furthering that archetype. Damn, Mage was awesome.

I'm going to do things a little bit differently when it comes to decks. Since the cards really aren't good to play anymore, I want to take you down memory lane and see some of the decks I enjoyed with the synergy, starting with Secret Odd Mage!

Taking things further along the line, when Rise of Shadows hit I fell in love with Khadgar, probably because he was almost always there for me in World of Warcraft Legion, and the Twinspell mechanic that brought us Summoning Hand Mage. This deck almost made me want to highlight Astromancer in our Boomsday cards we'll miss article. You can read an old guide if you click on the deck =)
