I agree that it has no downsides so far, but it’s also the only ping card the Magmar faction has. Right now if your opponent has a ranged minion out on the board you can’t immediatly reach you’re either going to take a lot of damage until you can reach it or you use something like Plasma storm and ‘waste’ a great deal/all of your turn just to get that one minion (and that’s if plasma storm even affects it). Magmar really suffers from not being able to ping (yes I know Skorn exists, but he’s neutral and only does 1 and might kill your eggs)
So that would be my guess as to why it’s allowed to be more powerful. Though yeah it is strong when compared to the Lyonar version…on the other hand not all factions need to balanced around their cards but the faction as a whole.




, I was still working on them.
