Strategy

Ethereal Arcanist can be very powerful when played in conjunction with secrets, making him a 4 mana 5/5 on the turn he is played. Without that he is a very weak 3/3 for 4 mana and worse than any viable alternatives at that cost, limiting his usage to secret heavy decks. That said, Ethereal Arcanist can get out of control very quickly if left unchecked, giving him the potential to win games by himself. Counterspell and Spellbender are particularly useful secrets as they will grow your Ethereal Arcanist and allow him to stay alive by protecting him from spell based removal. Ice Block is a very reliable secret to boost your Arcanist since it won`t be revealed until you suffer lethal damage on your hero. Kirin Tor Mage allows you to compete for board control and play a secret at the same time and should therefore be considered a staple in any Ethereal Arcanist deck.

Unfortunately Ethereal Arcanist remains vulnerable to battlecry based silences like Ironbeak Owl or Spellbreaker.

Metagame:

As of Patch 1.0.0.4944, Ethereal Arcanist is never seen in competitive play. Being so reliant on secrets that see little use themselves, it`s considered too much of an investment into a minion that can be dispatched of relatively easily.

Strategy

Ethereal Arcanist is best played in combination with Secrets in scenarios where your opponent cannot quickly dispose of him or your Secrets. Try to play multiple Secrets at a time since you can have more than one active Secret A Secret is a spell card that is cast normally but has a delayed, hidden effect, which only takes place when a specific event occurs. When a Secret is played, a Secret icon appears on hearthstone up. Depending on the Secrets you have available, try to play the ones that your opponent might not trigger right away. Also try to play a Taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve hearthstone or maybe some freeze spells in order to protect Ethereal Arcanist long enough to get his effect rolling. A best case scenario is when you have an Ice Block Ice Block Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Mage Rarity: Epic Cost: 3 Abilities: Immune, Secret Tags: Damage-related, Triggered effect Secret: When your hero takes fatal damage, prevent it and become Immune this turn.Ice is nice, hearthstone , because it will keep gaining stats until you or it takes fatal damage.

On the other hand, if you find yourself up against this card, you can either try to dispose of it if you have the damage available or you can trigger your opponent`s Secret A Secret is a spell card that is cast normally but has a delayed, hidden effect, which only takes place when a specific event occurs. When a Secret is played, a Secret icon appears on hearthstone and hope that they don`t have a replacement. Focusing on Ethereal Arcanist when you don`t have the damage available can quickly get out of hand.
