Strategy[edit | edit source]
Messenger Raven is a solid option for any Mage deck that doesn't use many Spells. It not only has reasonably high stats for a minion with Discover, the Mage-only Discover restriction helps filter out weaker minion choices. As Messenger Raven is a beast, it can also synergize with any Beast-related cards.
