Strategy
As can be expected from its name, it has the effect of Archmage Antonidas and generates Fireballs. It has a key advantage in that it is not present on the board and thus as the two bosses do not have weapon removal, makes the effect longer lasting. Additionally, the durability is not reduced when a spell is cast, and thus this card is very useful for taking down Aethas's high amount of HP.

Trivia
