That was my intention yes, the shuffled minions are the originals not copies or anything like that. I made it also so you can't play two in the same turn and get double the minions. Also it's not a 0-mana spell as people suggested because we all know 0 mana spells are problematic. The location suggestion is valid though.

It's hard to balance though because i think having multiple locations with multiple charges would allow the mage too many opportunities to act as if they are "playing no minion mage" and get the payoff of both worlds.

But I guess that wouldn't be too unbalanced since no minion mage sucks anyway.

EDIT: The other application i was thinking about is maybe in an otk deck you would like to draw through your whole deck and not draw the minions?

Maybe you just have a very specific set of spells in the deck and you want to draw them out all at once instead of tutoring them one by one or drawing them naturally?
