Strategy[edit | edit source]
Since drawing a card with no other effect attached is worth slightly less than 2 mana (which can be inferred from Breath of Dreams, Crystal Merchant, Novice Engineer and Wrath), the added Twinspell makes this card value efficient. In late-game, the card draw is still appreciated. While the options aren't as versatile as Branching Paths, it works well as a deck cycling card with early-game flexibility.
In faster decks such as Aggro Druid, the minion may be preferred. The 3/2 Eagle with Beast tag is essentially the same as the Panther from Power of the Wild. However, since it's a 3/2 that adds a 3/2 to your hand, it can be used similarly to a larger Fire Fly. The flexibility of using it for card draw is also a large bonus in these decks.
This card works best with Untapped Potential as a way to cycle your deck while still maintaining board with decently statted minions.
