This is the better version of Flame Wave, it does 3 extra damage to each creature and costs the same mana and is a instant not a sorcery.

I don't think that it is better, since it hits you and your creatures as well

"Wandering mage"? That's a Jaya Ballard quote, attribute it correctly.

Why did they change it to, "Wandering Mage"?

@Ace8792 Not quite. Flame Wave is a one-sided "burn you and your creatures", this burns all.

The attribution of Jaya Ballard quotes to "wandering mage" is one of the many reasons why 7th edition sucked.

I understand that for 7th edition, the designers wanted to create a new type of world, where the four paladins battled for supremacy. Hence why they didn't want to reference characters like Jaya Ballard, Task Mage who wouldn't be a part of that world.
Why not just create new flavor text though, especially since everyone loves Jaya? I thought 7th edition was an interesting twist on a core set, and I don't hate it as much as everyone else, but I don't like this card.

You have been given a zero for failing to properly cite your sources. See me after class.

Amusingly, the Wandering Mage was one of Jaya's contemporaries in the Ice Age 'block'. Maybe the historian who transcribed the quote for this card merely mixed them up?
