Finally, a good card! Looks like Vanar is going to have to start running expensive removal if they don’t want to get crushed by Nimbus, Aymara, Vorpel Reaver and others.
Unearthed Prophecy - Neutral Magesworn

This is probably going to be one of my favorite cards in the expansion. Cheap removal has always been a problem and this is a great way to deal with them without having to nerf them. In addition, because it affects both players I believe it is rather balanced. The 6 mana 3/8 stat-line isn’t amazing but the 8 health sure is great since it helps him survive most trades. Magesworn is going to be an amazing tech card against a lot of factions (especially Vanar) but can also be used to protect higher cost minions from being removed by cheap spells. However, despite all these benefits there is one serious problem. It is almost impossible to buff Magesworm as most buffing spells cost 2 or less. So the combo aegis barrier + Magesworm can not be accomplished (or maybe there is a way if you increase Aegis barrier’s cost) unless dispelled. Lastly, there are decks that dont use cheap spells in the first place. In match ups against those types of decks Magesworn is useless. That being said this might be the card that finally slows down the meta. It may not affect aggro Vaath as much but it will affect Vanar and spell Songhai A LOT which is good since they will be required to search for other types of decks to play with.

Not completely true about Aegis Barrier ,2 Spell binders or Kesh Rai Fanblade would raise Aegis enough for it to played.So it is not impossible just very very unlikely

hmm that’s a nice idea I might just try to do it once the card is released.
But does Magesworn only care about the original cost of the spell or can spell cost increasing mechanisms work around it?
It can be work around so if xho gives you a reduce OBS you can’t play it and if for some reason they play Keshrai against you could use a phoenix fire.The devs confirmed that
