Shimmering Tempest

Shimmering Tempest is a common mage minion card, from the Journey to Un'Goro set.

Strategy
This card plays largely like Loot Hoarder, with only a few differences: Without the context of your deck, Shimmering Tempest's main difference from Loot Hoarder is its increased randomness. This may be both good and bad: It may provide you with a third copy of your favorite spell, with situational cards that save you from certain defeat, or with situational cards that are little to no use.
 * The card it provides is always a spell.
 * It can generate cards that you did not include in your deck.
 * It is an elemental.

The real reason to play this card are its synergistic potential with multiple deck-archetypes. Decks with heavy spell-synergy will usually prefer Tempest over Hoarder. Decks that use Open the Waygate can always make use of this and elemental-decks will likely also benefit from its inclusion.

As of Journey to Un'Goro, there are a possible 31 Mage spells in Standard this card can generate.
