Arcane Blast

Arcane Blast is an epic mage spell card, from the Grand Tournament set.

Strategy
This card synergises very well with cards that have or give Spell Damage, like Malygos and Ancient Mage. Even without Spell Damage synergy, it is essentially identical to Arcane Shot (although it's unable to target the enemy hero), making it an effective removal for weak minions.

Lore

 * ''"Each blast of arcane power strikes its target more quickly than the last."

Arcane Blast is an arcane mage ability from World of Warcraft. In WoW, each successive blast deals more damage than the last. This is likely represented by the card's effect; scaling its damage faster than other spells.

Trivia

 * This card and Master of Ceremonies were the first Spell Damage-synergy cards to be added to the game.
 * Another card of the same name was removed during the game's alpha, some time prior to June 2013. The former Arcane Blast was a 1 mana mage spell with the text "Deal 1 damage. Draw a card."

Patch changes

 * Arcane spell school added.
