1. General Comments

Water Elemental is a strong Midrange minion that has an excellent stat distribution, making it both threatening and difficult to remove. It is one of the most powerful cards in the Basic set.

2. Constructed Play

Water Elemental is used in many Midrange and some Control Mage decks. It is strong in the current meta due to how well it interacts with Piloted Shredder, the most common 4-drop in the game.

3. Arena

Water Elemental is extremely powerful in Arena and should be regarded as a premium card.
