Is Harness of the Storm still good?

I just got it in a pack, but I don't know if it's worth it to try it in a deck. Also, any decks ideas?

    If you've got a Zata (?) and a bunch of 1 mana spells, you can pump up all of your creatures +6/+6 over and over.

    But it still needs a patch, harness doesn't work properly right now (not as described in the nerf and inconsistently).

    Yes it is still good, it is a very strong mythic.

    If you want to abuse it, it's still pretty good.

    If you want to just use normally it's weak AND overcosted.

    The best use i've seen for it was with Sarkhan the Mad. No spell over 6 mana, hand destruction and burn damage with some efficient creatures makes for a very fast clock on your opponent.

    Right now it's bugged and it's *way* too good.

    But yes, even when it gets fixed, it's still really, really good at 12 mana.

    It's crazy-bugged right now.

    It was over hyped before and is worse now. Very hit and miss. Too much chance involved for mana gain. Basically only reliable as a spell retriever.

    Just lost a battle in Node of Power because someone was "abusing" it. Harness the Storm still triggered even when I don't have a support on the field and my opponent plays Demolish. Next spell is played and since Demolish only costs 3, it's returned for free and cast again, causing more gem triggers.

    It's still playable but it feels like a rare instead of a mystic
