So i got a AK from event. Seems like a hero-sorcery rune only affects pyre, not the activated thors rage and tempest. Perhaps it would make him op but i think it should work for all spells...
Opinions?

It depends of what level decks you face. He can be very good against mid-lower level decks that have little to no immunity. Against high-level decks, he is not that good, definitely below average. His skill does not negate immunity or drone and since he doesn't have immunity or frost armor himself he will get locked down, retreated, or just flat out killed often.
He can be really good in Alchemist deck if you alchemist is levelled up high.

He can be really good in Alchemist deck if you alchemist is levelled up high. This. It isn't a bad idea in tournaments, since it's relatively tough to create 3 decks all well stacked with immunity- you can usually find one at least that's vulnerable. And if you ever use Alchemist, this is basically the perfect card for it. But overall, it's sadly a little underwhelming- it has too many weaknesses to be really useful. Honestly think a Taurus is better overall, but this still has the shiny rareness going for it.

He blocks spiky bits as mythrill drone blocks magic. But drone is overall better with healing and immunity. Maybe arcane knight can be helpfull in dungeons with strong spiky\sharp armour neander decks. But how low and mid level players get him?

This card is pretty good. You have to look at it in the current meta to actually see the benefits.
Some observations :-
In the top 100 of tournament, you will find a few cards common to almost all decks;
- Retreat Queen Temptress (imm7) - Recycle Horned Beast (imm7) - Sac Pit/Anathema/Twins (no immunity) - Paragon (no immunity 90% of the time)
I mention RQT and HB because the spam of magic from Arcane Knight breaks through immunity 7 and lower just purely by way of spam.
With a high level fire rune and sorcery rune, you can do major damage to any of the above and that can potentially swing a battle.
There are also a few other things of note (some have been mentioned already):
- Immunity runes only activate against "Pyre" and not on "Surround". - Spiky bits safe so allows for additional magic support cards to be used without being vulnerable to Spiky/Reflect/Sharp Armor. - Sorcery rune only buffs "Pyre" and not "Surround" on Arcane Knight
The card has it's weaknesses for sure, like no immunity/frost/dodge. But it can give you some good board control more often than not when it comes onto the field, and also allows you to do some supplementary damage to aid your bullseyes while group tactics and lightfoot are active on the enemy deck.
