What are the odds of this Beautiful item going to live? Really, I like it WAY more the Luden's. I really think it could have a good place in standard play. If you want any of the immobile mage gang to be played more often, just release this into normal rift ques.

Agreed. As long as they tuned it to be in a similar bracket to Grail and Morello (say, 2500 gold with reduced stats to compensate), I think it'd add some serious diversity to mana regen purchases. Morello for AP assassins, Grail for waveclear/poke mages and Netherstride for kiting/sustained mages. Boom, a big step to solving the problem of people only choosing their mana item based on which currently has the best stats.

Not sure how big a fan I am of the other mana regen items in BMB because they seem a bit TOO niche to really add much diversity and Pox Arcana is a bit too similar to Luden's for my liking, but IMO Netherstride Grimoire is fantastically designed and could be a wonderful addition to the rift.

There is a bit of a problem, as it makes Singed's kiting even more insane than before, and while you could say "don't chase the singed" there isn't exactly any other way to stop him from simply splitting to win. Especially when you simply cannot catch him despite lots of CC on your team.
