Honestly the whole "this card countered by silence" is fucking mute. Sure it gets rekt by it but let's be real here WHAT deck nowadays runs silence? Seriously name one that actually sees strong amount of play. I can think of priest running one Silence purely for more damage and a spell for Lyra...I don't even think they run it most of the time. If anything the minion that gets steeded Is probably going to get silenced first.
Raza priest runs 1 silence, Big priest 1 or 2, maybe even mass dispell. Jade druid runs Spellbreaker. But still these don't make Bonemare or spikeridged steed not see any play. So I think it will see play.

Zoo. Razakus. Sometimes Jade Druid.
But I agree. All this talk about Silence, or even better Cabal Shadow Priest (not here but generally) or Psychic Scream is BS. Of course it will happen from time to time, but the solution is surely not to stop Playing minions...

If we were talking about "minions" in general sure. But at 7 mana, and requires you to have done some buffing previously it doesn't do enough when it hits the board. I hope I am wrong though and this card just craps on people. I just, am not sure how it will be that effective.
Everyone is saying it's a bad card because it's a Silence target. With that logic, Tirion Fordring is a bad card.
This will see play
No, some dumb people say its bad because its a silence target. A lot of other people say its bad because its slow and requires too much setup for the cost.
The question for me is, "Do I run 2 x Steed AND 2 x... BoK? something else?"
Because you can only buff a minion if it's on the board. And with all the control cards out there now, it's possible we could have multiple board wipes regularly. So what do you include to ensure you can always count on having something on the board?
If I play this with The Voraxx will the spells cast on The Voraxx cast twice!!!!
If so, this could be huge.
This won't work, Peter Whalen confirmed it. Basically the effect of Lynessa will proc with spells that you pull them from your hand, and cast them on your minion. Either Buffs, heals, card draws, or even damage spells. But something like the Voraxx effect won't do it.

Shaman would rather play Hex than that card. If control shaman becomes again a thing then Hex or devolve will be his removals for this card. And please hex her and not tirion. Be my guest.

If they are running silence, but they didn't use it on all the buffs and Tirions you've been playing all along, you're probably so far ahead that you won't even blink when this gets silenced.
Hex and Polymorph are in the game, and they do exactly what silencing this would do. Yet people still play all kinds of 7+ minions. Not to mention hard removal, which is everywhere.

Okay assuming you are ahead on board cause they didn't silence anything else is a silly silly assumption to make. It's undeniable that silence hurts this more than other minions. Transform effects are whatever. Hex a tirion it sucks, hex this it sucks, it's the same. I will say this, my issue isn't with this card as much as it is with the paladin decks in general. While this card is probably at least playable, will paladin be competitive?
FOR THE HORDE!
Could be valuable even if all you've played is steed. This could make blessing of wisdom playable again as well.
Paladín vs Rogue
Step 1: Play shadowstep on Keleseth
Step 2: Play swashburglar and get Lynessa
Step 3: Play Lynessa
Step 4: Enjoy
If you Entomb this card, when you play it later on in the game will it cast Entomb on itself much like the Djinni of Zephyrsinteraction used to be?

I just had a thought.

Earth shock will be a serious threat to this card

Yea this could be a huge boost for lynessa
I assume the buffs it gains are applied in the order that they were cast. For effects like Blessed Champion

I can't wait until a paladin gets their hand on a random Purify then plays this card.
And this just became viable with potion of heroism and the new unicorn. Can't wait to play it .
